The Return of Stick Squirrel

pasitheaI no longer have class on Monday nights which means I can participate in the FurryMUCK artist's ambush again, yay! That means... Stick Squirrel lives again!
Stick-squirrel is my attempt at making an animated short on the 30 minutes allotted for the artist's ambush with no planning what-so-ever. As you might guess, it's a bit bumpy. :)
Tonight I tried doing Stick Squirrel on paper rather than the computer. I didn't get to the punch line but did get as far as a cliffhanger, so it was sort of okay, but then I seriously underestimated photography time. Also, I decided at the last minute to do layered artwork rather than single-layer, so photography took longer than planned and I forfeited my entry because I was moving too slow on photography and felt it would have been cheating because I needed to factor it in to my creative time.
Anyhow, after the ambush, I went back and threw some ink over all the drawings (50 drawings in 30 minutes isn't a bad average, neh?) and re-photographed them, then composited the layers on the computer rather than with the disc backlight.
So... Here it is. The continuing Adventures of Stick Squirrel ... For some reason, when I do 'Save as Animated GIF in Premiere', it drops the duration of the part where he's visualizing building the barbell, and the end. Only like the two most important shots. Any idea why? As an AVI they hold the way they should, but in GIF they're 1 frame long. Very frustrating.
