Woah this is kind of off balanced kiddo. I think if you gave a reason for something this thick to be falling down it would be a bit more believable as it falls. You may want to speed up your fall as well. Try varying up your shots

i would say try the brick drop agian, but this time animate it by hand. its more work, but i think u will be more free to experiment with the fall and the breaking of the brick. im not sure but it seems the program u were using seems to limit u. plus its always good to go back to basic and brush up on the old lessons.

Hey Tony -
This is a good start....I like the design of the broken pieces - they are simple and easy to follow visually after they break. Overall with the timing, those broken pieces should be moving faster as well as the speed of the drop itself. Usually heavy objects start moving faster and faster the longer gravity pulls on them - so you need to speed up your frame rate or have more blank frames (take out some of the images to increase the space between the ones you leave)inbetween the drawn ones as it gets closer to the floor. Also, from a staging standpoint, if you increased the landing area(move your shelf over a little more) we could see the broken pieces land on the ground and come to a stop there. That would give you a more complete finish to your animation.(Hold that last image for a second or two on the screen, so your audience can absorb what they just saw happen).
Two other questions you might ask yourself....Is this the right shape for a brick( looks a little like a box), and what is making it rock back and forth?(earthquake, a mouse pushing it, etc....)Also leave a little more space under the spot that the brick hits the ground and I think it will be clearer also....Good start!
