[The Final Act]

Hilarious story

I really love the pacing and "punch line" of this. As soon as it started i though. "Man...I hope this mime f****** dies." The rendering is pretty slick. I thought the animation was a bit lacking. I gave you a 7 because although the aesthetic is very polished, I think the main focus should be on the movement. Mimes really exaggerate their movements and I think you could add some more of that into the characters actions. It felt stiff sometimes. Did you model and rig the character yourself? If you did then thats a pretty impressive feat.

orb responds:

Yep everything about it was done by me except for the music.

[Robotic Octopus Snowman]

I like the style but i have a few suggestions

I liked your drawing style. That was nice. Also like some people have already said, nice silhouttes. The animation of the snowman killing santa could use a bit more work. Maybe add some anticipation for the action like have the tentacle pull way back, pause. then shoot out. Also have santa react to being stabbed. The only other suggestion I have is to either really do a nice illustration for the "the end" screen or just leave that out all together and end with merry christmas.

[Pokemon Shorts]

Oh no Link is effing huge!

Coffee sucks just like a certain flash I just saw. Can you guess what it was? Next time add some more background elements like trees or something. All that space was totally wasted for a little 10 pixel character to spin in a circle. Zoom up on him or something. Work on something for longer than 10 minutes before you submit it.

coffe sucks...nd your a downer...

[Boulder Dash! (In Color!)]

getting there...

You got a decent start. Now that you have a little experience under your belt you can go for something a bit more complex. Try slowing things down a little. Like when the rock goes through the loop...have it slow down as it reaches the top cause gravity would slowit a bit then speed up again as it comes down.

mrpokie responds:

Thanks! That's a good idea. I tried to make it physically correct, but sometimes one misses a few key things like that. I'll remember that next time.

[Halo ROTR 7]

well...

There wasn't a whole lot of animation. Mostly just the 2 guys talking, moving their heads a bit. It woulda been cool if we got to see the one guy attacking the gate and failing or something.

evilmutantmonkey responds:

yeah, I was thinking of doing that but I don't know how to do depth animation just yet.

[Heroes Trailer]

Yes. Thats was society needs...

a cop "in" every corner. Not on but in. We can just bury them in the cement while it is still wet. Thanks for wasting a few minutes of my life.

C-and-S responds:

no problem

[sTARWARSoHMYGOD]

Just like the real thing.

Your drawing style is great. And the whole movie was hilarious. Although I think I have to disagree with you on one thing, Episode 4-6 are best. 1,2 and 3 suck. Good thing this movie doesn't.
The force is strong with this one.

xtil responds:

for your birthday i'm gonna buy you a sarcasm detector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[15 Minutes Collab]

[The10000 Frames of Art p1]

Ohls responds:
