[Good Guys Part II]

dude this if fckin EPIC. makes me want to start from the begining and watch each episode! improving as always, i see you touched up UK's body and arms, nice gradients on the backgrounds and the colors work well. love the music and the whole bacon spy bird bit. Characters staying true to their core and your writing is spot on as always!

3rabbitsproductions responds:

Thank you so much, guys. I did work really hard on this scene...my entire sense of time is gone because of all the animating. Above all I want this show to be fun to watch for the audience. I continue to struggle with balancing darkness and comedy in the writing because the show does get a lot more serious toward the end, but there is a lot of foreshadowing in this. I appreciate you guys watching. It makes all the hard work worth while!

[Dirty Shoes]

Not bad, actually great for your first time, but there are a bunch of small things you could do.

1. Key poses are important and you've done an okay job with them. Whenever you are drawing the way a character stands or is acting is paramount. As far as animating it, I would give about 4-5 frames, assuming you are working in 24fps, and do two inbetweens (2 frames each is what I do) that show the character and its parts moving from the first pose to the next. But to some degree, your quick witted humor, works with some jerky movement.

2. The backgrounds are pretty good, but i think just spending a little more time on the detail would be good. Your line work is good too, but as far as the scene goes, I would maybe zoom in closer to the characters, so you can spend time detailing less of the background if that makes sense.? I understand the vertical line backgrounds as i've tried to do them too, but honestly they are more dificult then they look. I suck at them.

3. I would also spend a little more time picking out colors that go well together. Your main characters colors work well, but the green and blue on the other dude doesn't really sit well (that could just be my opinion) also the window landscape blue could've been spruced up easily with a simple gradient.

4. I also noticed your wipes were decent but could use work. I'm not great with them, but what I do is actually use lines and have the exagerated limb or hand or whatever only for about 1 frame, so you can't really see how sloppy I made it. I think your facial expressions were good, but when I go to one extreme facial expression, i usually don't inbetween parts of the face. His face just changes. At least that's the way i've seen Oney and Zach do it. Also I would make you stage size 860 x 485 or some 16:9 ratio. I would also maybe google how to end your flash so it doesn't play (that is pretty easy to do). I

I hope this helped, and if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask :)
even though i'm not the best animator ever!
Keep it up!

CasualCat01 responds:

Thanks, man! Part of the problem may be that I was working with 12fps, so I'll make sure to bump it up for the next animation.

All of that honestly helps a lot, so I really appreciate you taking the time to write me a review.

[Captain-X Tofa: Round 1]

Your perfect

[Boredom Empire Part 5]

great job ben, the animation this time was perhaps the best i've seen it, just the little things, as far as arm movements and quick tweens. Also loved the grav bong in the beginning, my new cartoon opens up with a rip too, but yours was so good i might go have to retouch mine! perhaps my favorite episode yet, humor completely through-out and toby truly shines! keep it up, i'm excited.

3rabbitsproductions responds:

Thanks Chris. I can't tell you how badly I wish I could just pay people to animate this stuff for me...I'm personally really only interested in the writing/recording aspects. I would be so much further on in the show if I had people working for me...but thanks for the comments...Just starting the opening credits for GOODGUYS lol. Not sure if you're a Scorsese fan but it's going to be a parody of some of his best films. EP9 will definitely have the most 'parts' so to speak so this is going to take me a while! Glad you liked the grav...haha. Smart people utilize such things lol. Send me a link to your new episode when you're done! I'd love to check it out. Keep watching bro. Thanks again!

[BOREDOM EMPIRE PART 4]

great opening shot, backgrounds getting better, and the humor back and forth between UK and IL. except it was short and now i'm stoked. god damn!

3rabbitsproductions responds:

Yeah in my elementary school they had this big set of encyclopedias that we always had to use for reports, so that's where the design for the books came from. The scene takes place in HERO SCHOOL library, the only place in the entire school with a fireplace. This scene is important...we see UK's need for vengeance and IL's wisdom (or attempt at wisdom) to try and convince his friend that anger is never the way, but in this case (despite his better judgement) IL actually ends up agreeing with UK. Their personalities kind of 'blend' over the course of the show...very reminiscent of the Anakin/Obi Wan relationship in Star Wars. Obi-Wan became more headstrong as a warrior while Anakin adopted most of Obi-Wans advice...accept about the 'high ground' part...he was sick that day.
