[Animator vs. Animation II]

Hah

you really outdid yourself, I like how he destroys the important essay and songlist also, I thought that was good. You've been imitated by so many people, but this really shows everyone, that you're still the best at fighting your animation.

[:the Composer:]

Complete Masterpiece

I won't even bother to pick it apart to tell you how good it is, all there is to say is, that was truly beautiful.

[Look up at the sky]

So simple

But it really draws me in. I was almost in a trance. Perfect use of music.

[Little Aviator]

Really nice

This is a great animation, really touching and very memorable, it really captures the childhood spirit.

[Unconfidential: Episode 1]

hahaha

Funny as hell, looks a bit better than the last time I saw it. Your style reminds me a lot of south park.

[Toast]

Simple

You can definitely see the progression between Pants-feeler, and what a beat here. Simple, but well animated and very fluid.

[Chrono Trigger: Musical]

hehehe

Nice lipsynching, nice song too. Altogether this was a very enjoyable animation to watch, it seemed a little pixelly/bluury though like it had been over compressed, you may want to look into that.

[What a Beaut]

Oh yeah!!!

It's nice to see some real authentic animation. Very well done to great drawing and movement, Nice "punchline" too, the guys face was great, ugly, but great. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff, by the way, how long did that take to draw, and at how many frames per second was it?

We had about a month to do this, though combined with all the other projects I had and all the procrastination I did, it's probably worth a week or two of diligent work. The last couple days were a bit of a crunch, haha. And most of it was shot on two's. The only parts that were on three's were the sun's scene and the short bit of the flower waving his leaf!arm.

Also, thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it :D

[Coffee Innovation]

heh

Nice commercial, vitamins maybe, but fruit flavored coffee would be sick. hahaha, anyway, seems good, good choice of music, and nice use of color effects/

jhelts responds:

haha. thought so. i wonder if that could be possible. thanks man, ^^

[The Catch of the Day]

CS4 I take it?

This turned out really well, your professors should be impressed. Nice opening credits by the way, also, nice choice with the closeup of the arm and watch, that was killer. Can't wait to see what all you make after graduation.
by the way, congrats

Naw, still CS3 with Flash and some Photoshop. I wants CS4 though...the rigging tools look interesting.
