[Inspector Gizmo: The Missing Treasure's]

This recreates the feeling of those old crappy CD-Rom games so well. Also the right amount of horribly unsettling. Nice work!

[An Experiment]

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[What's in the Bathtub?]

Love it, super fun short!

[Sleepless]

Wow, beautifully haunting!!!

[TEKSI - Part Two]

Effectively Simple

Very nice, it was simple and well animated. It wasn't over complicated, it was what it was.

[Do Not Remove]

Seen it

Yeah this has kinda been done to death and the animation wasn't great. I'm keen to see you develop further though because there were a few good things.

I like that you've picked a limited palette, it makes things clearer and easier to watch and the art wasn't half bad. Parts of the animation weren't too bad but it was kinda lazy overall.

Chimbley responds:

Yeah, if only you had submitted an animation. Then people wouldn't have to suffer through this. Ya kinda let me down bub.

[Training-wujoco]

Awesome!!!

The art is really nice and the animation itself was great, nice flow and good timing and spacing. Shame about the compression but it doesn't take much away from it anyway.

10 stars and 5 for you.

[bluh bluh bluh.]

Very nice

This was very nice. The animation was well done, the dialogue was spot on, and it was fun to watch. Very simple story but very interesting anyway.

The only reason I take off a mark is cause of the background. This is only to give a reason for the 9. I can't really put my finger on it, but something doesn't push me towards giving a 10.

Nice work keep it up

[Misinterpretive Porn Star]

Awesome, A W E S O M E

This was hillairious, I especially liked the poor girl who got shot off into the sun...<snicker> bbq whore. Nice work, keep making them the way you do.

Needs some work

This was very lazily animated. I see you've responded to something similar to this by saying that animation is hard, and yes you're right somewhat, animating can be difficult. But that is only a reason to change, adapt and get better.

A few things I think you shoud take into consideration. What you have done is obscure any action. There are opportunities there to get into some animation. Also the only thing that seemed to be animated were the same 2 pieces of art.

Also you have missed opportunities to work in some dialogue animation. All you have to do to start off is set up some mouth shapes for paticular sounds. Such as Aaah, Eeeh, Eeee, Oooh, Uuuh. Then have an extremely wide opened mouth for an extreme vowel sounds. Then Have a shape for Bs, Vs and Ls you can use alot of the vowel shapes for most other sounds. I may be missing a couple. Then put them in the right place on the face, and change them when the dialogue calls for it. You need to move on from this eventually but it's a good place to start.

Try to do things from different angles too. You have your character at the same zoom level and just of his head and shoulders. Try to get some shots of the rest of his body. Also try and design more than one character. You've just got the one main character and shillouettes for eveybody else.

There seemed to be something that resembled a fight scene, which you filled in with a black screen and flashes evey now and then. A great place to work on some animation. Even just character stills moving towards each other and then the black screen, flashy stuff, with cool, fight scene stills between.

You need to get some better voice recordings too. Get friends to record for you so you have some different voices. Direct them if you need them to speak in a particular way.

All in all what you have here is very sub par. You could do alot with what you have written in here. My rating may seem harsh and unfair, but It is with reason.

1 for the interest scene you have set. I have taken off stars for the art style, grab onto some art styles and get better. The voice acting. The story, it's not my cup of tea and I do say each to their own, but write something a little more involved. Killing some guy who's trying to save him is pretty harsh and all that really happened was that he shot some guys. Spend some more time on these, make it shine, not sparkle if you hold it in the sun right. Watch what other people do and learn from them too.

this is the way i chose to animate ths series and its not going to change. if it bugs u sorry but it aint changin for this series. altho i can do better drawing and animation wise i rather this style for this story sooo yeah. and dude seriously look at all my other parts..........do you honestly think i would change anything from the other parts? and also animation is hard yeah but i never said im only going to do it like this forever on all my stuff, look at project 7 teaser.......i dont just animate this way i also do my own backgrounds etc in others. this project however i chose to do it this way for fun, and theres a saying you should know "it doesnt take graphics to make a great story, its the story its self in wich makes anything great" im not going to bash you for not submitting stuff on account you put more effort into your review other then "it sucks and you cant do !#!$#@!$". also this wasnt "lazily" approached, this is a certain style i do my self called "ADD animation" where i focus on the story and nothing more. hey if you dont like how this is animated thats fine but i really dont understand how anyone who looks at this and then goes back watches all 5 parts then actually says "improve" can think that and not really see that... well.......if it hasnt changed after 5 parts.....why would i change it now?
