[The Canadian Greek God 2]

This one made me poop out of my nose

Krutches responds:

Sexy.

[The Assignment Part 2]

lol

I don't know if ths is one of those things that happens to be so unfunny that it's actually funny, but I found myself laughing because it was done so poorly. Not that it was a bad submission, but I could tell that it was done by someone not from an english descent, because everyone had some strong foreign accent, even the people who clearly were animated as Caucasian. That for me was funny, though, overall a cool submission.

I actually have friends that are whiter than me and speak less english. Whoa! I bet your whole world is upside down now (btw my skin colour is like the main character).

I just wanted the two main characters to have different skin colours.. and the rest of them was given randomly, I didn't want to bother with that on this particular animation. I was more focused on the story.

Thanks for the comment.

[Santa's Travels]

Heh.

A nice little submission, nothing to great about it. There wasn't any voicework and the animation consisted of very little work in general. Despite that it wasn't a bad submission, I mean I could tell you did put some effort in to the submission, but it would have been nice to actually see some serious animation. Other than that, I guess it wasn't too bad of a submission, it certainly did what it set out to do.

[A Snowman Short]

Meh

The best part of this submission was really the audio voice work. Although some parts didn't sound realistic, I did enjoy that for the most part through this submission. As for the animation, it was solid, again nothing to spectacular, but solid nonetheless. The joke wasn't really funny, in anyway and maybe that was the only thing that took away from this submission. All in all you have a nice short here, just not really all that funny.

[Mar & Lu do the Christmas]

Heh cool.

Well since you didn't really use your own audio I shouldn't really criticize it, but yea it wasn't all that realistic. I found it to actually detract from an otherwise nice submission. Of course that's that to say that this submission wasn't nicely animated, I mean it flowed well with the audio and you did a good job at making sure it looked realistic. All in all not a bad submission, just not really great in any area.

[Super Mario Claus]

lol

Well the gag wasn't great, but the voice acting was nicely done I found. The graphics in general were cool too, and I enjoyed the animation more because of it. There wasn't much of a story to this submission as it was just a gag submission, but I enjoyed the tiny bit of dialogue in it anyway. It would have been nice if the joke was a bit more original or at least a bit better thought of, but all in all the submission wasn't bad.

[Zombie Ablockalypse]

Neat style

This odd style you have; style of making people into rectagular boxes is original, and interesting, and the way you managed to combine it with very realistic surroundings is really a nice use of juxtaposition. I personally didn't find the acting or the lines very entertaining though, and if anything I found it a bit lazy, some instances the character would have a high voice, then all of a sudden, a much louder and lower voice, which made it seem like you were actually acting, which obviously is never a good thing. All in all you created a very nice submission here, I just didn't like it that much.

[Gone Too Far Too]

Very nice.

Very rarely do you see something as simple as playback controls really add quite a nice bit of quality to the submission. The animation was very nicely done, almost professional quality and simple things like facial expressions were done exceptionally well. The way the music was done was also top quality, and the way the guys mouth moved exactly like it was supposed to was also done very nicely. All in all, there isn't a lot of problems with this submission, it really is deserving of a top notch score as well as whatever award it will get. Very nicely done.

[VALV Halloween 2010]

I suppose

I suppose I would appreciate the submission more if the voice work, as well as the subtitles were in English, the jokes and expression and everything in general would be more enjoyable to me as such, but I see that this submission appeals to many spanish speaking people so I won't judge it based on that. I found the animation to be smooth, and although some parts of the voice work seemed a bit amateurish, just the way some it was delivered, I found this submission to be fun to watch. All in all nice submission.

[An Unfortunate Girl:ONE]

Some of the writing and voicework was odd.

Maybe it's me, but I found some of the voice work to be a little odd in some parts, maybe the actor wasn't used to some of the words she had to speak or the way she had to deliever it or whatever, but I found in some parts it was odd. I also found the submission to be a bit slow starting, and although the style and the way the story flowed was meant to add to the creepyness of the submission, I found it to really detract from it, simply because it was such a difficulty in paying attention to it. The animation was drab and boring, and I know it's tough to really do much with these colors and such, but personally I did not like it. Overall though, you have talent no doubt, just this submission, for me did not really live up to the hype.
