Always get something up front. At least a third or half, as a good faith payment.
I would not have paid $50 for this. I mean, to me, the copy, the length of the animation... I would have priced that project at around $500. So they got their moneys worth in terms of running time and a day and a half of your efforts.
But I agree with jumpen about the quality, it's really not up to the standard and definitely drags the whole animation down to a very 'high school' level. Which, in turn, does nothing to bolster the product or service its pitching. If I was the client, I too would have had you fix the mistakes first before taking posession of the file... so if this is the revision... oh, well maybe he just got fed up...?
There's allot you could have done to that to make it more catchy and give it some zing... $50 can't get you much time to sit and chat about how things will flow and where the eye is ment to go... as well as time to re-time events and make sure plenty of it is given to the viewer to digest all the information. I don't know what they expected for $50 but they got it and more. Now if they were serious, they should pay serious... So don't take it too hard. They obviously didn't even know what they wanted and obviously weren't willing to pay for it if they did.
