[100 uses for a cow use #1]

interesting thing, taking hands off... never thought about that.. i liked it and will be waiting for more. Thanks :D

poutErobots responds:

Thanks for the love :3

[The Crawler]

Congrats for the front page man.. what did you study? psychology, script writing... besides or with animation...?
Well.. anyways, I absolutetly understood this masterpiece. I love the precision with which you animate. An by animate, I mean.. All those things that you know how to manage in such a perfect style.
...The dedication's just a lot.. I'd really love to see a long-er term project...
In my opinion you're as good as MiddleFingerRings, You just have a different style. And that's good thing for the world, and for Newgrounds.

SethBrady responds:

Just checked out MiddleFingerRings. I'm actually really flattered that you compared me to him.

[Journey!]

pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Well.. it could be much better but there were so many good things I dont even care. grats for the front page

ZenithQuinn responds:

PhantomCat responds:

[Baywatch]

Ha! I thought something was going to happen but the music just kept going and the people keep drowning... I liked the hair animations the most

TheBoogley responds:

I should've made them hairier!! 8D

[Prosnorkulus 2]

Write a script, Make a movie, Do whatever the fck you want, but keep doing stuff.
This is a massive favorite I can tell.
I don't understand why it isn't on the frontpage, But oh well...

Anyways, Outstanding job, I hope to see more. And thanks for the awesomeness!

MiddleFingerRings responds:

It is on frontpage. ;)

Thanks for the review!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

if i could get away with it i would draw everyone naked, all the time. but then i'd be that guy that draws everyone naked all the time.

[Mad Walky Mcwalkersons]

I don't know what's scarier, if your animations or the music you use for them. Maybe you make the music too? Who knows?

TheBoogley responds:

I wish I could make music, one of these days I hope to do a short course! :)

[Planetoid - Chapter 4]

...I don't know where to start from...
A lot in here wasn't really of my taste to be true.

I think that such a long animation shouldn't have just music... specially This type of music, which doesn't have good term lyrics and/or strength to bring the best feeling out of the animation itself.
Personally, I think that was the main mistake you made.

Not that I don't appreciate the work done and the time spent (God.. almost 3 years..)
but I also noticed it was always the same... the music kinda got me into trance so I really didn't pay much attention to the animation to be true, but I tried, and the animation was also very monotonous.

Thing here is, please, for such a project like thisone, try finding someone who can provide sound effects and see what it looks like without music, Or try with another music which won't get people into trance and then make them see the comments and go: "uh well.. most voted 5 so.. here, I'll vote 5 too".
You know?

I know you were self taught, but truth is, when you animate, you don't just draw frame by frame. You have to Accept Every Frame you draw and not just go like "Uh yeah this is fine.." when you know it can be done way better.

Hell I loved the effects you made, that was pretty cool and all. If I could Ever animate like this I could die peacefully, that's for sure. but I ain't no animator, If I was, I'd point Way more up than this, And I know you can notice what I'm saying here.

I noticed you wanted the whole animation make the viewer to feel this was a very awesome animation, you can tell by the music and the effects put into it, the fast paced and the slow down at the end.
I have to admit I don't like this style either, so my score might come more from that point of view. The storyline (which I haven't been following) was going pretty much with the animation, but you really kicked the good stuff out of it at some points... this is because (I Think) of the music. But whatever, You animate the way you like, I'm no genius to tell you how to, I'm just saying what I felt and saw here.

I hope to see a Master piece from your skills some time soon.
And I also hope this helped a little. sorry if I offended you in anyway, Just trying to help. I know how exhausting it is to work on an animation, and get it if this really isn't helping you at all with the mood.

Fate responds:

I agree with you on the feeling part. This animation doesn't have the emotions that the previous chapters had, but they all served a purpose, including this one.
I understand your opinion on the music, but I strongly disagree. It's ALL about the music. Music can create the right mood instantly, and I feel no one is ever seems to be able to use it correctly. This song was chosen because of its major contrast to the previous chapters. We find, quite suddenly, that p37 (the robot) is in way over his head, and everything is happening way too quickly.
That may not have come across just yet, however.

As for.. accepting frames..
I know I'm not the best animator yet. My character designs leave something to be desired, and I don't have the perfect flow in frame by frame yet, but I'm learning. This was all an experience. And I'm happy with how it turned out.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'me trying to make the viewer think it's awesome just because of the music choice'. If that had been the case, I don't think I would have spent as long animating it.
And I never kicked any good parts out of the story. It took me a long time to choose a song that I would be able to tell the story with. I actually had a completely different song until the day this song was released by F-777, and I felt it was perfect.

Animations don't need to be like every other animation. Just because this one doesn't have sound effects, doesn't mean there's no story.

I appreciate your opinion and detailed review.
This is my opinion and detailed response.
Thanks :)
