[Chrispy Stand Up Comedy]

Why did the msrnlsar tj..kar .kjjkjrr

Hey, funny stuff - the parts i could understand - the amplification recorded with a video camera then compressed into a flash didn't really do it much justice. It was hard to understand alot of the quieter parts.

You've pretty good though, so keep it going!

Chrispy responds:

Thanks, you should watch it in higher quality, it's easier to understand :)

[The Last Psion Episode 1]

Hello again

The music was a nice touch - otherwise my comments still stand. That gunfire needs to be turned DOWN! It's waaaaaay too loud - also the first dialog part needs to come up in volume because it's drowned out by the music.

Good work on the music though - fits the action perfecto.

[um.... Minidude?]

Ahhh.

Fix the sound, take out the cheesy 'scary yell' bit and maybe it'll come close to decent. Your randomness is pretty neat, but you could have really done a better job than this.

Not impressed.

[Tom's Tales Of Awesome]

You sell yourselves short!

The animation was splendid - the voices were great, but i think some 'real' sound effects would be in order, and maybe a little bit of a musical score behind it all... eh? Fruity Loops, man... get it, love it. Use it.

Maybe it was just me, but it felt like the PLAY button wasn't the easiest to click on... maybe you guys need to just increase the clickable area on it? I got it before i could really judge if that was the problem or not.

Oh, and some background stuff would be cool too - get something like ART RAGE and make some funky lookin' background and put it as a stationary image behind all the action.

Well, those are my comments and suggestions! Good work! Keep it up!

[Web 3D Christmas]

Gravity

Your gravity was a bit off - even for a cartoonish short, things just seemed to happen a little too slowly. The jumping was languish, and the controller fell a bit too slow to have been any where near real.

Also, i think the lack of sound effects wasn't really adding anything to the short.

All in all it was good looking, and a good idea, but lacked those finer characteristics that would seperate it from the rest of the 3D junk i've seen.

[Samurai Champloo: SK Pt.1]

Mouse Schmouse

First off i'll let you know that you need an ADESSO tablet. it's just as good as those intuous ones, but at half the price. Check it out, ok? Adesso(dot)com

As far as the animation itself goes, the whole thing reeks of Cowboy Bebop. The mannerisms, the storyline - the only thing is it isn't in space. I know, i know, you're just putting your own spin on a similar storyline, but i'm just letting you know that the connection is obvious to anyone who's seen Cowboy Bebop.

The art was great - i can't wait to see what you can do with a tablet!

Summary: Deviate from Bebop-esque storylines, buy the tablet, and put the playstation down! (j/k haha)

Good work!

[Video Guy: Now Showing]

Great Stuff!

I watched this little short, and it inspired me to watch the rest of your submissions. What you really need to do is make a whole episode - a long thing. These have a sort of clerks vibe (aside from the video store aspect, i'm talking about customer relations here!) Though these are great, their potential i feel is not fully explored within their timeframe.

Also, when you get to that point, i feel you should have a co-star on it. When you start making longer cartoons, or hell, even just MORE cartoons, i think you'll find that your little video clerk can't hump the whole thing on his own.

You've got a great start for a good series - i'm adding you to my fav' list so i can keep tabs.

Oh and your sound quality rocks - good work!

Ajar responds:

Thanks for your input. We're actually working on what you just described here; it's in a classroom setting and the video guy is only one of several characters. It should be ready in a month or two. It's a longer format as well. Thanks again for you thoughful comments!
