[Shiver Factory Remix 64]

Hey that was pretty good

Now i'm not an avid kirby fan so i cant say this level brings up the nostalgia it probably does for others, im more of a sonic guy myself ;)

however, in terms of animation and movement and all that stuff, it was quite decent and i enjoyed it :D Good job dood

[Don't Sleep, Robby!]

So long O.o

I remember when you showed me like the first minute or w/e it was on skype not too long ago, i thought maybe that would be like half of it or something :P And then turns out that was 1/10th of the length haha.

Nice job bud! ^_^

Bobert-Rob responds:

Hah, yeah, this is definitely one of my longest episodes. Hence the long wait for me to actually complete it. It's probably going to remain the longest episode for awhile. 7 will be lucky to hit 5 minutes, I think. Glad you liked it, man, and hope you enjoyed your character's little cameo in it, heh. YOU REMEMBER WHICH ONE, YUS?!

[Flight of the Dragonfly]

Fantasmal!

I've actually seen this like 3 or 4 times now heh, cuz each time i watch it and i'm like "aww..that was nice" and then I do whatever, and then later i see it and am like "hmm..what was the animation like in that one again? i forget...it was short..*rewatch*

and repeat :P

Fluidity needs work

Props man, you deff have a really cool style to your art and you had decent, albeit messy, frame by frame.

My recommendation would be work on fluidity of the motions, and clean up all of the art so that its smoother. Other than that, you're deff on your way to becoming an epic animator! :)

Also, for the entire song i was like "AGH I KNOW THE SONG!!! WHAT IS IT?!" and then when it hit the chorus i realized it was redemption ^^ Props to the piano player :)

[Christmas with Dad and Me]

Hah!

Animation needs work but your storytelling and timing was excellent!

For some odd reason, I definitely loved the whole "chainsaw in umbrella rack" thing haha :P

[The Last Degree]

Your art is improving

Hey buuddddy! I like what you've done here, you've taken your old style and remixed it into your own, something i respect you for ;)

If there's one thing i notice with your animation, its that you're working with two's at 24 fps. I know this is a personal preference with animators, but might i recommend switching to two's with 30 fps?

Working with two's at 24 is like working on one's at 12 fps, and we all know that 12 fps looks choppy. Suffice to say, this video, while the animation was good, did look a bit choppy. Were you to up your framerate to 30, it would be like drawing one's at 15 FPS which looks a lot crisper and smoother.

This is just my personal opinion though, i hope it provided some insight.

Bubbowrap responds:

Thanks! Guess it was worth taking that year break from animating to practice drawing.

And, nah, I'm actually working on four's in most cases (I KNOW, I KNOW). With three weeks and wanting to put out the most realistic animation that I can, I had to sacrifice the smoothness/frame rate. I was planning to go back later if I finished before the deadline, but well.

I'd totally do 30 fps, but the standard is 24 fps and I want to get as comfortable with the norm as I can (if that makes sense). Thanks for the tips, though!
