Hahahaha It's hilarious how you even make a joke of the struggle the production is having with the animation, but you know, this was actually very funny and entertaining to watch till the end. You just keep trying to learn "new techniques from old times" as composition, painting, audiovisual storytelling, drawing etc (more than stuff like gradients, bones, inverse kinematics and other tools whose purpose is to ease the before mentioned techniques) and you'll do fine.
Heeey! What happened? It went so far so good and then you finished it to fast. The animation wasn't that great but at least it seemed like something was actually going to happen with Captain Useless. That just messed up a somewhat good intro for your chara and now the only characters I know something about is the pesky villain, the police Chief and of course "Sandwich man".
Come on, it looked like you could have done better, unless it was a joke of course >_O
I played the game and I just saw the movie and I caught the medal jokes. Nice job guys with all the design and music! It is indeed a very good tribute for Zol... I mean, the movie.
The game mechanics, the items, the bosses, the constant feel of danger, it makes this game awesome.
Those who haven't dodge the knife aren't trying hard enough. Common guys! You can do it! Just watch all the clues in the game and the movie and you will suceed to be the winner of the Hunger Games.
pues muchas gracias, yo se que hay unas cuantas cosas que mejorar, pero pienso mejorar! :) y si me base en los dibujos de tim burton pondre la historia ya que hare mas animaciones con este personaje, gracias por tu comentario :)
Hey! This game was neat. It's kind of akward when the art changes from vector to bitmapped pixels which drag over the screen, but apart from that, the game mechanics were really nice. Mayhaps expanding the game with a few more levels, a start game+, medals or any of that kind of stuff? What's already done its very good, and expanding / upgrading it sure would bring more gamers to play it.
Do not pay too much attention on those 'useless' reviews, If you are doing it for fun, that's good enough. Now, even if you are not an animator, you could spend some time doing the main art that you could reuse to improve. Or you could also try animating a cheerleading performance that you like a lot to do and you understand it well with your body (a lot of good animators feel the poses before drawing them) or even one that you are not able to do in real life. I dunno, whatever you do, have fun doing it and do it with your hearth (hahaha now that sounds a little corny, but it doesn't matter :p)
Most art looks like what I remember from the web comic, but I think you could have used a faster phase for the jokes. Maybe you could try a timing that is more like the one when you read the web comic, or at least one similar to anime or any comic tv show you like. For example, I agree with the uncomfortable moment between peach and Dr Luigi, but it still it could have been shortened a bit, just the same with the first strip, the phase was so slow it looked like it was all.
So, it's like that one where the life prefers death before dishonor and comits suicide, luigi needs to run in order to catch it :p
Have a nice day, I think it was a good idea to animate that comic. Good luck next time Weegie
The visual style was ok, but when it was only a shot of the fish and the walrus talking and the only thing moving was the water and that blu shiny thing which I will suppose is their cold breath or their words, it was visually boring.
In other animations where the jokes are based upon the dialogues they are kind of different, and most of times those jokes are helped by the expressions of the talking characters, yours were just sitting around doing some bla bla bla. Try to think of your characters as actors, fake they are alive, gave them a soul / an anima so your jokes are more vivid.
Suggestion: watch any sit com you like and watch the charas, take notes. Have fun with the references and with your creations.
And if it was little, having a blender capable of molecular division, you could become rich selling those... Or just have fun blending the universe till little particles
Problem's not the content, but the way you tell it. Only text may work for a forum, but not for an animation portal. Even if someone may be interested he may be discouraged to continue with this presentation. The same happens at school / office / meetings with those ppt boring, lame, long presentations monotone texts; but those that use little text, more pictures and are actually telling you the info, not by memory but "by hearth", that's plenty different, isn't it?
It wasn't the visual that was my main concern. It was the content thereof that was my main concern. But thank you for your suggestions, I'll try to keep that in mind next time.

Te quedó padre. Definitivamente hay una mejora a las animaciones pasadas, sobre todo en los planos que escogiste para contar la historia. El fondo de bitmaps de las nubes no queda mal con el de los vectores, aunque en el plano en que se ve la silueta del protagonista cayendo, el lago que se ve al fondo por los colores se ve sobrepuesto al suelo y le quita lo padre a la imagen. Fuera de eso, son detalles de animación en los que uno mejora con la práctica como lo estás haciendo y la música que le pusiste también le quedó bien, sin necesidad de diseño sonoro o efectos de sonido para crear el ambiente.
Vas por buen camino.
PD: Por cierto, me llama la atención los rasgos de tu protagonista un tanto (dime si me equivoco) 'Timburtonianos' por eso de la piel palida, el cabello negro y la vestimenta de rayas en un entorno de monstruos oscuro a blanco y negro. Me recuerda por ejemplo a http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /360361 o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMPF s4dZzs&list=UUXsXAdAW7Gg1Od7-eiC3Jhw&
index=9&feature=plcp de un amigo. Solo es algo que me parece curioso encontrar frecuentemente en animaciones con historia de cierto tono ¿Qué te parece?

Luigi needs to run to get the life.

Could use camera movement.
