Mark Bogdanoff:
Great style, but lacks clarity.
Daniel Kaplan:
original and weird :P
Taber Dunipace:
Cool! Most interesting visual style I've ever seen on this site and funny characters. I would have liked to see more personality in the animation, but still this is very appealing.
Mike York:
Very CREATIVE!!
Julianne McCartney:
I really like how animated the lipsync was on the character who spoke the most. This was very nice graphically.
Jason:
great design, layout and lip sync. however, some of the secondary actions, movements are distracting from the "story" of the short. for example the guy in the monsters mouth, is very distracting and awkward
Jose Stricklin:
Great art style! Great characters! I really like this work.
Ken Rice:
Pretty original - however I found the start of your animation a little difficult to read when first viewed.
Jim Levasseur:
Wow.
Joe Garhan:
Beautiful work!
Elisa:
really nice design.
The little guy being eaten is a funny addition
elizabeth:
nice. great design
Victor Wong:
Nice lip syncing!
Joe Mitchell:
funny, great lip sync and overall design
Maureen Seng:
nice concept! made me laugh when the monster said 'oh! i got that'
Jeranimo:
Really neat concept.
Emmanuel Vergne:
Really fun idea
Greg M. Johnson:
Remarkable expressiveness from such simple outlines. Cool theme!
Frank G:
I just keep coming back and looking at this one even after I ran out of stars. This animation greatly appealed to me. I wondered if someone would get some wings flapping to the patting noise and this is it. The best interpretation of, "I got that." Definitely in my Top 3.
luc:
Definitely original
Alejandro:
Very original!!!! Good...
Daniel Luke:
This is amazing! The concept is both brilliant, well thought out and Expertly executed. Truly awesome! You should be very proud of yourself!
gerardo castellanos:
hahahah.. really funny way to performance
Yahya:
interesting idea. nice animation. original. nice one mate
Jim Collins:
Love the style
Eric Scheur:
Oooh! I love the shadowpuppets feel! (have you seen "Humdrum?")
And you have a really wonderful original design for your characters, and particularly their mouth shapes... the guy on screen left has some great extremes! Really nice job!
I also love the wipe/cut that happens when Greenie flies by the camera. Excellent.
I feel you could improve a bit in clarity, however.
The first time I watched the piece, I entirely missed the guy wrapping his tail/tentacle around the building and popping it in his mouth. Make sure that you stage things so your audience is looking exactly where you want them to look all the time. If there's too much movement in the scene, the audience will be confused about where you want them to look.
Similarly with the "Where are we going" line--since we've only gotten to know the look of these characters for a few seconds, frame 260 can be a bit odd for the audience to re-orient themselves to who that character on the left is, and recognize that he's the same guy we just saw closer to the building.
Overall, though, I really love the way you've approached the audio, and I hope to see more stuff like this in the future! This one is so much fun!
Henning Koczy:
Haaaaa. Obviously, fun mouth shapes... could've used a bit less standing around and talking.
Ceno:
u can wiN!"
wingscg@gmail.com:
Very funy!! and good work!! Congratulations!
Senthilnathan D:
wow . good work
Jason Smith:
Great style. Very interesting.
Juan Z.:
really cool idea.
Erik Westlund:
You have some truly fun designs going on here and the main character on the left has some great shape changes going on. Very playful concept. That long, squiggly arm needs to rise up and hover over the fallen victim that was accidentally spit out. Color shift at the end is not as much fun and silhouette of "Phil" the building smasher has a tangent or two going on with one of his wrecked buildings.
Jonathan Paquin:
Funny, great style and an original take on the audio.
Ron Price:
Really cool shapes and movement, and the graphics are terrific.
Alexandar Ivanchev:
I love that style it looks great.... And the idea with the city crushing monsters is great :)
Chris Woods:
Nice visual style. A bit confusing to watch though.
Chris:
Made me laugh, but I wish that they had more poses. Felt like a talking-head piece for most of it.
Jorge Zagatto:
I loved your stile and idea
James Stevenson:
imaginative staging!
Brad Regier:
clever design
& i love his lipsync
RJay Bengelink:
I liked the unique animation style!
Aaron Clement:
Whoa, this is really different. Really graphical. I didn't really follow it... but it was pretty to watch.
