Actually, there's not much to say about Mirror's Edge by =Red-Bananas besides the fact that it's simply epic.
This has to be one of the best and most complex emoticons I have seen in a while. The animation is supremely smooth and detailed, the play with physics and perspectives as well as the transitions of the scenes are simply extraordinarily pulled off. It loops perfectly and the timing of every single movement is well planned and thought out. The amount of work put into this piece really shows.

Description
Oh my god, I never thought this day would come. I've worked soooo long on this. It's insane.
I don't know how many times I've wanted to give up but, call it motivation, passion, madness or whatever, I did finish it.
And here it is, my Mirror's Edge emoticon.
I tried to put in a lot of things happening in the game in the emote, including the look of the scenery. Mirror's Edge features a very oversaturated color scheme, something I used here as well. It suits my lack of pixeling skills just perfectly.
I actually started this back in 2008, September if I'm not mistaken but because of school and serious procrastination.. and some lack of motivation too, I never got around to finishing it. And here we are, almost 5 months later, finally finished. God, I put in so much work in this, I can barely watch it any more. I watched the animation so many times, I'm sick of it.
**Since I haven't played the game and thus not finished it, do NOT write any spoilers or anything to reveal the events in this game. You have been warned.**
I want to say thank you to Joel and Andy my biggest thanks for helping me make this with their persistent encouragement and debugging. And especially to Joel for piecing together the two gif's this was made of.
About that, this emote is so huge, Photoshop couldn't handle the amount of frames so to make it work without PS crashing on me whenever I wanted to save it as a gif, I had to make it in two different animations, later put together in Fireworks by Joel.
And I can't remember how many times I lost a heap of frames because of PS crashing on me, if I'm not mistaken, the highest amount was 140 frames in one crash.
• 854 frames
• About 170 layers
• 5 months of making, about a week or two of actual work
• 1 minute and 20 seconds of animation
• Photoshop CS4 and Fireworks used
Did I break a record in frames?

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactOnce again, one of the greatest animators on deviantART has tried something new, and suceeded to show us how it is done.
The colour selection reflects the game's levels flawlessly with it's reconizable red and white style. =Red-Bananas has also nailed the free-running element with most of the animations from the game.
It's also great to see =Red-Bananas' little blue guy doing all the flips and speed running in the animation. It's brilliant.
Overall, this is a very good take on Mirror's Edge. Under the sea of many others, this one sticks out by being nearly perfect.
Brilliant work, R-B. As always. <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="
