[[SG] Welcome Back Death]

Good

The last joke could have played better if he had have been uncharacteristically pleasant until that moment.

AxeShades responds:

Well, as you plainly stated, that would be quite out of character :)

[The Myth Of Sisyphus]

Really well done

Try experimenting with making the dialogue/grunting a little quieter when the camera is far away to give it a sense of distance.

CatFat responds:

yeah ihad alot of trouble with the sound syncing etc with this animation so i sort of gave up on the little details like that by the end :)
thanks !

You actually winning something?

It was good, but it could have been a lot better. Sometimes, by simply cutting out the less funny jokes it makes the movie as a whole funnier - and it's less work!

Here's something to try: Take each joke and either say it out loud, or explain it to a friend - you'll judge it harsher out in the open, and you can easily tell which jokes won't fly.

For example:
"Zelda sees a rupee across a cliff. He falls down the cliff trying to reach it"

Once explained, it becomes obvious that there is no joke there, though in one's mind it may feel like one.

LinkXRetro responds:

hmm.... i see...
thanks

[The Dinosaur Planet]

Hey again

You do two things well: Static faces, and static backgrounds. They're genuinely excellent, better than most of the videos here. I'd team up with someone for everything else - shouldn't be too hard, most people are bad at the things you're great at, and vice-versa.

"...I write this coz I think you're worth the trouble. "

Cik105 said it the best. We wouldn't bother if you didn't display potential.

Matt-G responds:

shhhhh

[The Lonely Castle Crasher]

Gay joke

Okay, you just went with a gay joke there. Yeah, I guess they're still kind of funny.

LAVAGASM responds:

I guess you went with a gay review. Yeah, I guess you're a fag.

[The Fear Hole: Pilot]

Why is this rated so low?

This is the first of your The Fear Whole series I've seen, and I must say I am definitely going to watch the rest. This first one is excellent - really funny. A bit more polish and practice and this could be perfect.

Could have been paced a little faster, and the voices a little clearer, but apart from that, well done!

Scythemantis responds:

When I go back and watch this one now, it looks and sounds so awful compared to my most recent that I can't even finish it! One day I'd like to re-record and touch it up, but on the other hand I kinda like how it illustrates my progress. I'm hoping one day I can look at my most recent and be just as disgusted - I'll know I got even better! :D

[CrowsFeet]

Take your time

I love the unique style. Kind of like... looking at Word 'clip art' on drugs.

I don't think it needed more per se, I think it needed to take it's time. It felt a bit rushed. I think people need to get sucked into it a bit more.

Other than that, good work man. Kudos on the excellent keyframing.

UnderARock responds:

yeah haha, some of the reason its rushed is cause I wanted to end off on that part of the song, the rest is my fault
