Not bad. Really cool animation style and goes well with the music. I love random things but next animation though try to add a bit of story as well to it so it gives your work more depth and feel.

spacefader responds:

Thanks man. Yeah the story is pretty simple I guess, I was more going for a mood than anything, just thought of a basic sleazy tale of a guy trying to pick up girls in an intergallactic context ala 80s sci-fi. This is my first attempt at animation so I guess I tried to concentrate more on developing a visual continuity than anything. You may not like the next video I am working on which is going to just be vignettes to music with no story ha ha. Anyway thanks for the feedback, at some point when I master the animation process I hope to work on a more rounded story.

[GARFIELD FALSH COLLAB!]

Lol you really took the classic Garfield comics to a whole new extreme level. Wonderful imagination and amazing animations as always! Great collab. Hope you do Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts next :D

TmsT responds:

C&H has been discussed as a possibility, also Family Circus.

A completely overhyped ego trip with unimaginable terrifying violence and pyschotic rage that cannot be described by mortal beings... MORE PLEASE :D

Magical...

You've really captured the true magical feel of Christmas every child feels very well. The highlights were the backgrounds. They were sublime and truly out of this world!! The characters were nicely drawn but animation lacked in some parts maybe too much tweening here and there and the frame by frame was slightly choppy. Also the story was bit random and blah at the end with the boy lacking any real emotion with the same weird smile throughout the adventure.

Overall this is the best Christmas entry I've seen in a while and the music really fit the atmosphere you've created. Well done! :)

Wow really sweet!

I love the way you made all those animals approach the guy playing the guitar. Very smooth and each had it's unique style. Also a very nice message at the end. Lot of people will come to you for friendship when your life is going well and in tune but the one who remains even after they are gone is the true friend there in your time of need. Great selection of music also.

Overall it was really good even something I could share with my friends. I think you just need to improve your art slightly and make it as good as your storytelling and animation. Good luck on your future submissions and looking forward to seeing more from you :)

Thanks for the review, art is definitely my weakpoint. Cheers for the 10!

Great animation but bland and repetitive!

This was so bland. Don't get me wrong. The art and animation was fantastic and truly top notch but it's the same mindless violence over and over again with no point. You should really add some depth into your plot so you feel what's behind all this like Kill Bill does. Sure people will rate your works high now but will they remember it? How would they differentiate your style and contribution to the internet community from any other madness inspired movies? You have what it takes graphics wise but it's time you used it with a little more creativity and better story telling maybe add some maturity or irony there alone the way. Maybe even a small message.

Just ask yourself. Will people remember this animation years from now? If your answer is YES then by all means do continue and my sincere wishes.

Mottis responds:

I agree with all your points but I'm not much of a storyteller. Also, I get the most enjoyment from just designing and animating intricate fighting choreographies, using different fighting styles and weapons.

24 animations in 24 hours? WOW!!

It's really amazing that you made all these animations of this high quality in just 24 hours. Even with someone of your kind of animation skill it's not easy. My only quip I would have liked to see more stories than just random stuff like the Toast one (which was brilliant) I really wud have really loved to see what became of the gang that was beating up on the tooth brush for instance. Felt it had enough depth to carry on.

Nevertheless great work all around voices, and music too :)
