I don't need vocal chords either. 😎
To be honest here, I thought this was an improvement from before, but there's still a few problems here and there.
Let's get the cons out first.
First off, the audio quality wasn't really that good, but that can easily be fixed by going to publish setting and changing the audio quality there. Secondly, I think it would've been better if it was all coloured, because it looked more like an unfinished test than an actual video (unless the black and white colours are supposed to be a stylistic choice), and also, both the frame-by-frame animation and motion tweening could've used some more easing, to give more life to the movement. And finally, I'm not a big fan of the quality of the linework. The actual drawings themselves are fine, but the brush quality looks poor. I'd recommend changing the smoothing size to 50, and (if you're using a drawing tablet) also use pressure sensitivity, to add some flow and thickness in the lines. But that's just me. You can choose which style you prefer, as long as it's somewhat appealing, and looks good. Oh, and if I had to nitpick, I'd say that the brush size was fairly different in the first shot compared to all the other shots, which was somewhat annoying to me.
However, on the plus side, your posing's getting a lot better, and you're using a lot more frame-by-frame animation (even though there isn't really any easing in the movement, as stated before), so you're definitely improving over time, so it's not all bad. So yea, overall, it's not the best thing I've seen, but I can definitely see that you're improving in terms of animation, so that's good to see. Keep doing what you enjoy doing, and do the best you can do. Good luck. :)
Thank you, I did use pressure sensitivity, but that didn't seem to effect it to much. I did use differentiated line sizes across scenes, my mistake, i noticed halfway through that my linesize was too small. I'll attempt to make it better in my next one. Maybe add in dashes of color if i get the chance.
tween and dab! XDDDDD
oh look, a retard.
better than the ladybug collab
NOOOO!

I SEE YOU PEE NIBBA
To be honest, I thought the art and animation was meh. The linework was messy (unless if it's a stylistic choice like what Freezepark and Azoko does) and there wasn't that much animation. As for everything else, the story was meh as well, and the police officer's voice was really high-pitched. However, I do think that this is a good job coming from a young kid, so I can't fault you for that. Just keep practising and improving, and eventually, you'll become a great animator! :)
some parts were meant to look shit on purpose but probably should of put more time into this. Thanks for the feedback though, i'll take that into consideration next time (also the police officer's voice was meant to be high pitched, to show he's not a real police officer because he wanted bank details and his social security number.)
Congrats on the front page Darius! :)
Thank ya!! :)))
this animation is the pinnacle of newgrounds and definately fits the roster of all the other NG videos
But seriously, one picture with terrible lipsync talking about stuff that isn't even about Newgrounds will definitely get you to 1 star. Improve.
hopefully i will next time
Look, I don't wanna come off as rude, but I still want to voice my own opinion, so here it is.
To be fair and square, I did not like this animation. The artwork was made by someone else (at least draw the characters and backgrounds by yourself, instead of stealing the models elsewhere), the animation is choppy, the background is again not made by you and even placed badly, and the music quality is mediocre. Nuff said.
Thank you for the review but I'm not able to make puppets
Just to let you know, this review is mainly focused on the WIP preview itself, just so you can fix things that aren't right.
The animation is definately an improvement from your Stick Skits days, but it still feels amatuer to me. First off, when you're doing frame-by-frame animation, I'd recommend turning on onion-skinning to make doing it easier. Also, the lines look really bad, mainly because you're using default brushed. While this works for some (specifically Animation Wheel), it doesn't work here. I'd reccommend going to a bigger brush (and also zooming in to get thinner, but better looking lines. And if you want to also, you can turn on pressure sensitivity to make the lines look even better. One more thing is that I'd recomment working on an animatic for the video first before starting work the complete animation, just so you can get an idea of what the animation would be like. But hey, it's probably your first time animating something legit with Flash, so take your time and practise with the tools before going head first into creating a big series like this. That, and you can also look up Flash tutorials to learn more about how Flash works, and what you can do with it. I know you've created shit before, but I still have hope that you'll become a good animator.
Keep improving, and having fun with what you do! ;)
Thanks dude
