[The American Dream]

You know what's extraordinary? Idiots docking this narrated short by 1.5 or 2 stars because the character graduated young, or because the main character pursued creative writing as their dream or they didn't realise that the animation's title was slightly tongue-in-cheek.

It's jawdropping the way you evoke emotion through animated pieces. It's one thing to be a good animator - it's another to have a masterful editing touch to evoke the right frame at the right time coupled with the right audio. You have both these skills in spades, cup overflowing. It's a pleasure to view what you've created. Thank you.

[Yugi Vs. Kaiba]

Your animation isn't great, but your voice acting is pretty awesome. GEt a better mic pls :DD

[EPIC Magikarp ADVENTURE!]

omg that was freaky

Olynyte responds:

Agreed.

[Dragonlanza - Teaser]

Very good animation, but perhaps hire better voice actors... there's some really good ones on this site that you can hire for free...

Also, work on the script, in particular creating subtitles with correct grammar, and maybe a new script-writer lol. But good animation, though, I can see potential in this.

Sirrolandproduction responds:

The only voices I do them, and I have a really good mic for recording but I would like a better one :)
anyway, I'll take a look at the actors as you say, because my voice is not good and just wanted to do a little test of my voice.
in the subtitles, it was not me who translated and I asked someone and spend the subtitles :)
the script I did it myself, I just wanted to introduce the characters, but it has many flaws, I hope to improve the script for the next animation.

Thank you very much for your advice

I have added you to my favourites

This is a very well-animated piece of animation. I can imagine that you put an inordinate amount of time into the details, including motion blur. I personally think that the motion blur is a stylistic choice, that is only marred by the desire for people to look at her tight figure :P But anyway, enough of being a pervert.

I know that you don't want to make a full-length movie, but it would be kick-ass if you did. You said "making 8751486792659735 episode of 'Random Action/Carnage Movies'? No, thank you ;)", but I think that's quite a pessimistic view of things. Animation is a craft, and usually the long ones with the sound, and storyline take a fair amount of dedication, blood, sweat and tears to complete. I admire those that make long, sprawling epics, and I admire this form of art as well.

Just remember that you are very talented, and if you made a longer submission, you don't need to go into infintesimal details, because that would take forever, but if you made a 3-minute short with a few sketches, it would still be pretty pwnage. Just make it however you want, it doesn't have to be a clone of whatever submissions have passed. It's just it'd be pwnage if you did decide to do a full-length animation, even if it weren't about fighting purely.

Gekon responds:

I've got nothing against long movies, I could make 5 minutes of as simple and influent as possible story during these 30 hours but it wouldn't look as good as these 3 seconds ;)
