[I Pity the Fool]

!!!!

I was sooooo excited when I saw the title because I thought that you knew who Robert Cray and Shameka Copeland were, but then I saw that it was Mr. T....
Mr T. is fortunately also one of my heroes and you did a good job on the song :)

JTricks responds:

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm glad you like the video (I'm going to have to find out who they are now)...

[Pokemon Hunter]

yep

great stuff! although not sure if you intended for the writing to be read, because I couldn't read it fast enough

NCH responds:

right click play to pause the animation to read the text if you want.

[LEMONZ!]

how old are you?

I would like to see you actually spend some decent time on even drawing some cleaner characters, not just animating rough sketches

BuffJohnson responds:

Holy shit hahaha I was 13 at the time. I'm 18 now an just discovered this account still exists. Holy shit this is embarassing.

["Chris Joins" Episode 1]

what just happened

"its the first episode so meh" "of course it's bad..." both said by you
Seriously man, the first episode has to be the best one! How else would you ever get anyone to ever watch another episode. By admitting that your animation wasn't very good, it doesn't show much care or initiative on your behalf and now I'm even less likely to watch anything else by you. I also think that you should have put more time into it, even if you're just starting out. Also, I'm not sure that why I even watched it because it did warn me that it was bad.

Also, the ending didn't make any sense.
I am very unimpressed.

Douglas99 responds:

i bet u feel special....next time. read some warnings. listen to them. and u will get better in ur lifetime

[Skeleton Jack]

faaaaaaantastic

well, other than needing to work on your walking/running motions, I'd say 'fantastic'! Your special effects were especially well done!

NightShadowTWO responds:

very true. i wasn't satisfied with some of the cycles as well. will keep in mind for next animation. thanks for watching!

[Short Stickman Combo]

that was it?

the sounds were well synchronized and the stick men looked okay.
There's only so much you can do with stickmen though and it's not the best choice of animation either unless you've got something REALLY unique and entertaining. For me, it was nice to see a progress animation, showing what you can do, but entertainment factor was 0.

Also, I'm sure you could go against the status quo a little and have had some more drama, intensity, flashes and maybe some dialogue.

Even though I'm giving you a bad score, I would like to see future works

SkatingRobert responds:

Okay, I'll sure do my best to blow you away with my next animation!

[The Suicide Competition 2]

here is a review for yiew

you had a funny concept and you brought it out pretty well also.

some things you did well
there was some good humour
it was neat how you added the health bars
you played out the competition pretty well

things you need to remember
cut the opening credits shorter (it's............ is read fast therefore doesn't need to be on the screen long)
stay consistent with your style, for example, the detail of the guns was out of place from the simplicity of the stick men and their surroundings
a couple of times I think you let your animation get sloppy

Overall, it was a good and unqiue watch, keep it up.

ABCreature responds:

Thank you

[ERROAR]

cool music

soooooooooooooo many super powers!

Wakman111 responds:

superman aint got nothin on this

[Day in the Life - Cthulhu]

ok!!ko

Well, I guess that's what happens at 4:30 am! I thought it was pretty funny and I liked Dagon's voice.

Battosai810 responds:

Thanks :)
That's where my head's at after 20 something hours of consciousness.

[A* Episode 2]

keep truckin'

The style is great! You have a real eye for shadows, you are also very artistic.
Unfortunately, your story was very very slow and the sound quality was pretty bad. I was confused at times and even bored. Another thing is that your animation is usually just two frames. For example, speech is an open and closed mouth repeated.

I would work on cutting down the story and timing and improving your animation and I'd say that you've got something good going!

smbhax responds:

Oh, I don't want to cut down the story, it's the important part of A* for me. This episode was originally made without sound, and designed around giving people time to read subtitles, so that may be where your feeling of it being slow comes from. Starting with episode 3 I'm drawing them up for sound from the beginning, so that may start to change up the pacing. Thanks for the comment!

Update: Revamped the timing, should address the slowness and speech issues you raised (mouths are still two frames, but now actually in sync with the words throughout, which makes a big difference :). Thanks again for the comment, it was helpful!
