[Animator vs. Animation IV]

Pure genius, not a word to add.

[Bug]

Lovely Animation there. It doesn't really have a point, but is nice and smooth.

There wasn't really a point to it, it was just for fun :)

I see a lot of effort was put in the making of animations:
dinamic camera and sketch style require lots of pratice to be handled as well as much as particle effects. Even though sometimes the shot distortion wasn't very precise in resembling the wide angle camera, i loved the drawing style!
Little improvements in graphics and some more attention in Audio FXs would have made this animation perfect.
Keep up the good work!
4/5

This video shows that you perfectly know how to move through the temporal dimension of a movie, meaning you can animate pretty well.
I'd recommend it for FP without thinkin twice. Great job! 5/5

Very well animated, i loved the drawing style and also the FX are very well chosen and syncronized, with a little higher quality they would have been just perfect.
What i saw was, for the NG standards, unusual humor, subtle and just fine.
I loved it!
The only thing that you might have added was a (themed) preloader and an "end/replay" screen, just not to let it loop (like it is while i'm writing down the review :D)

Never been more certain to give my 5/5 and 10/10 to a video (and trust me, i keep those votes for something that deserves it, like this very cartoon).

Oh and, of course, can we please have more of these? :)

EugeneToons responds:

Thanks for your review, thats my first submission on this site. I'm new to flash, this animation was made in another software. I'll add buttons as soon as i can. And add a few other animations as well.

Edit: Done!

The overall job works but is nothing too bright or exciting.
I liked the exaggerated mimics of the character, while other animations are quite simple... you should have put much more effort in them.
About audio voice acting could have been much more interesting: actual sounds like when you recorded you didn't want to scare your neighbours with strange noises (exactly what you should have done to get an excellent result :D), and also audio quality is low. To fix that work with internal flash audio editing (panning and volume adjust: fadings can do miracles if you get used with them) and set an higher output quality in publish settings.
Last but not least, work more on humor: nothing wrong with randomness, just take out more of it.
In my opinion all you need to do is polish here and there.
Ah also main character facial expressions reminded me a little bit of LazyBoy.

Keep it up!
3/5

ZoVies responds:

thanks :)

It was hard for me to do that high ninja voice xD The first few times I did it way too loud with my window open :3
thanks for the sound tips! I was searching for the problem for a long time... :| now I finally know what to do.
I am going to buy a microphone so you do not hear the zoom of the computer and work on expressions :)

This is my drawingstyle... Didn't wanted to copy LazyMuffin... :| ( I guess you ment him with LazyBoy)

thanks a lot for the good advice!

Don't take it bad for the vote review, i try to be the most impartial i can.
But, beside the completely random story, i like your style and i see something very nice can come out of your head.
Add sound, set an higher FPS rate and with a little bit of practice you'll come out with something very interesting.
Looking forward to see a well animated and sound-bashing chapter 2.
Keep it up! :)

Katgirl900214 responds:

I honestly was not expecting like 5 star ratings, I just wanted to submit something and I thought this would be a good choice. I know the graphics aren't that great, and I'll admit I was lazy with the coloring. I also realize it would have been much better with sound. So I get where your going, and thanks for being nice about it :3

Hahaha, nice job for only a day and a half of work.
Simple animations, overall nice job.
The style reminds me of Yotam Perel.
Also, catchy jingle.
Sweet randomness :D

I hope you don't take this review as an offense :/. The reason for which i used the complete review form is to give you a quick look at what should be fixed (in my opinion of course).
Dude, there's a lot of work to do here. First of all, drawings were not very well done, got some random line thickness here and there, also you animated a static puppet ('xcept for the head). Giving the rabbit different poses would have made the animation more , hmmm, animated! Animation was waaaay too simple, also with very low fps rate. Not to mention the missing fx or music or anything else.
To make it very brief:
If you really want to make animations, practice practice practice!

Concept and execution are fine, worth a watch, but the main problem is audio: the quality is very low :/. I wasn't really caught by the graphics, but i liked the way you parodied the original anime style. Also, some Ash facial expression just fits perfectly, even if the drawings are very simple.
