stunning
At first, I thought it was going to be just some typical, boring, stick fight scene. Man, I'm glad I was wrong. That was seriously incredible. The effects, the palette choices, the style, the fighting- it was all top notch. I am inspired. Very awesome stuff.
good stuff you got going on
You've got a really good thing going on in terms of graphics and content. The designs of the characters are cool/cute and the color palette is really nice; your line work is pretty nifty looking too. The facial transitions were seamlessly done and looked cool, so good job there!
The movement of everything isn't bad, I just feel the timing of everything could use work. Of course, unless it was a stylistic choice, some of the movement felt weird: when the one boy was swinging the bat it came down so slow and unrealistically. Other places timing could be improved are when the skeleton grabs the boy. The two times the boy is tossed (once in the train and once through the door) are tweened and done so very slowly and its creates kind of an 'I rushed this' impression. But nothing so significant it distracts from the piece as a whole, so bravo!
I really liked the ending too, it was pretty funny. Anyway good job and hopefully you got something out of my criticisms/compliments. :)
haha. I did rush most of it. Thanks for the kind review.
Incredible
This is a really impressive movie; the animation, art and comedy were all incredibly well done!
The intro where satan emerges from hell was beautifully drawn and animated; I feel like your art has improved so much. The comedy was top notch like usual, but I think you've even pushed it further since last time; I found this second episode a lot more comical than the first. Great stuff all around.
Your work has come a long way, keep it up!
gee mister i'll try even better next time :D
Not bad!!
That was pretty entertaining, I must say!
There was a lot that stood out to me, particularly how well the design was. Everything regarding design was top notch, including characters and backgrounds, and their simplicity made it nice to look at. Also, camera composition and scene transitions were very smooth. Finally, the sounds and music were very well chosen and made the piece compelling. (Nice kerning too.)
The story was okay, it seemed very all over the place with the fantasy elements. But you seemed to have researched your material well and placed it in that fantasy realm nicely. Also, textures typically bother me, as I find it a bit of a cheap technique to create more noise on the picture. However, it fit the piece alright and didn't bother me too much.
That being said, I still have a few gripes. Were the design and everything else was working for you, the animation was very weak. You mainly seemed to tween or use different pieces. As for your actual frame by frame stuff, it was very awkwardly done - both in drawings and timings. This detracted from it for me a lot.
All in all, i'd say it was pretty above decent. But hey, you'll get better, and hopefully you can take something away from these critiques and improve your stuff! Good luck with whatever it is that you make next, I look forward to it.
that was pretty good!
I enjoyed this short a great deal, and it has a lot going for it.
The voice acting is top notch, and the sound effects are well used too. I like the little things you did too, the camera composition and panning worked well. You did a good job with making your story interesting and kept my attention! Additionally, the designs of the characters and simplicity of everything was very well done.
My only gripe is that I really think the background textures are overdone. In my opinion, in some of the scenes it isn't necessary to have the textures on there so heavily; in a few scenes the strong textures hurt to look at. I think they sometimes distract the attention away from the animation/content.
But all in all, good job! I'm looking forward to more!
Thanks, I overdid the textures at the first scene because it was a dream sequence. That and the art was pretty bad so I played with knocking it up a notch to make it look better. But yeah, your right.
Pretty good stuff!
In general, everything looks pretty good. The animation in each is great for the most part, and the rendering is pretty okay. I want to touch briefly on each piece though:
For Sneezing: I think that everything overall happens a bit too quick, but the delivery is still present.
Elements: This one is very nicely done, seeing all these unique and cool actions going on simultaneously is impressive. My focus is drawn away though from seeing everything in the time it happens though.
Match-Cutting: This one was also done very well, and the camera transition in the action is clear and well understood. Good continuity.
Weight: Out of all of them, this was my favorite. The weight of the objects was believable and the contrast between characters helped the believability.
Lip Synch: Not bad, but I feel it could be a lot better. I don't really find it believable.
Fishing: This one is the biggest gripe I have. The proportions from start to finish are very different, as the character is significantly larger toward the end. Working with straight ahead animation, as I'm sure you know, it's easy to lose proportion, so maybe if you re-did it, try pose to pose with set key frames. But aside from that, the motions your character went through were really excellent.
Filmmaking: For what it is, its pretty well done. I'll have to watch the whole short, so I won't make any judgements.
All in all, a good year for learning I'd say, and a good demo at that.
Great work! :)
Average.
I don't know how crazy about this I am. It's essentially the exact same thing as the typical Foamy cartoon, just with different looking characters in a different looking setting. The context, tone and what the characters stand for is unchanged almost. Almost, as the Hindi girl didn't seem to be a complete mold of Germaine.
Still, I question if it is worth 'reinventing' a series, with the same formula, that already seems to do fine (Foamy). Also, I don't think I found this bit particularly as funny or as clever compared to how I usually feel about your stuff.
pure gold, chap
