Seen it I guess

Great animation, as usual, but the I've seen that story been done quite a few times already. Quite unoriginal...

Still, great stuff. But please, make the story more original.

rtil responds:

wasn't aware it had been done before. i do not make cartoons because i've seen them been done 'quite a few times'.

Nothing short of amazing

Longish, but great. Excellent in just about everything, but I have to admit, towards the end the stick figure style made me long for real people.

Get-lost responds:

I'll stick to the sticks ;)

Thanks

Masterpiece?

This is truly an astounding piece of work. It reminded me a lot of something... animator Ralph Bashki would make. I guess it had a lot to do with the rotoscoping. Great stuff, love seeing rotoscoping in flash. That's real animation. (I'm not sure if others would agree though)

It felt very 80's, with that compelling animated movie 'adventure' atmosphere going on. The only problem is the voice acting for the characters, who sound too much like the guy you meet in the street. Not much depth in their performances... Maybe if you had gotten a British guy to voice or something... In terms of story, its been seen before in other media, but that's there's somethign fresh about it in Flash form I suppose!

I hope this series continues...

Ghosty22 responds:

I didn't know what the term "rotoscoping" meant until you used it. I looked it up in wikipedia, and it said that rotoscoping is when you project film of live actors onto glass or paper and trace their bodies for each frame. I didn't do that. I drew each of those characters from scratch. However, I was trying very hard to make their movements realistic.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts...

Ah!

Pure genius? The first scene involving the.... rubber grape and the odd stare the vendor gave the guy - damn that reminded me of something the creator of Ren & Stimpy would do! Brilliant! (I hope you don't like being compared)

The scenes where characters (not so subtle-y) change their expressions after a square does something odd offered the most comedic value to me.

I'm now wondering why you won't enter this in some competition like that Nickeloedeon Cartoon Festival... (that already ended!)

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

The problem with that festival is that they only accept entries that are in video form. I dont have the pc power or technology to convert a flash file into Quicktime. So I'm rather screwed.
