[NG Audio Portal]

Great concept

This is a pretty awesome advert for the NG Audio Portal. The graphics encorporate the latest NG imagery. The music was a decent piece, well sourced from the Audio Portal, no doubt.

I like this piece and think that you've certainly got good skills and that you should take them further - do you have any projects in the pipeline?

Thanks for the review...
I currently have many projects that im working on at the moment. A game, a few animtions, a website, projects for school and for work.
So I am incredibly busy, hopefully i will finish them in the near future.

A little fast

This is a well done flash, though I think there are certainly areas where you can improve.

Yes, you could add subtitles - a small balck bar across the bottom of the screen and a regular white font doesn't take much, trust me.

Other than that, maybe you could slow the pace of the speech down, so that we can comprehend what is actually being said.

Still, you've done a great job on the graphics, so please take my comments on board and make the next installment in the series better for it.

- Subtitles... hmm...
- The speech is to fast?
- Thanks again :)

A good start here

This is a neat animation, although I'd prefer to see some animation on the mouths a little more.

The first close up of the kid is a little freaky, but thankfully doesn't set the tone for the animation. He needs to change the shape of his mouth more, as when we make sound effects, we don't leave our mouths completely still like his was.

You've got the basic drawing off to a great start and in the future, you can certainly learn more advanced techniques.

I'll look forward to reviewing your later improved submissions...

[WTF short]

Could be so much more

This was working its way to being a great animation, then you cut it off in its prime!

Still, let's look at some positives here - the animation is good. I quite like the walking animation for the guy, it makes him look like he's skipping. I also like the drawing style of the thing sitting on the doorstep.

The sound is good quality and suits the piece well.

What you really need is to take this further, give it more of a plot and not bail out and call the animation finished too soon.

I look forward to seeing the results

[Mohinder]

Interesting short

Due to the fact that this is only about 20 second long, it's not as good as your Blockhead flash. However, this is the sort of off the wall sort of thing I've come to expect from you over the past few months of viewing your work.

As always, the artwork is top knotch, the sound quality was good and the style / concept was quite amazing.

Where do you get your ideas from?

The-Swain responds:

I certainly don't try to sell it as a Blockhead cartoon, that's for certain. In fact, this is my first non-Blockhead submission to NG. But it's been so long since I submitted anything due to the aforementioned reasons that I had try to offer at least -something-.

As for the idea, it came from the same place as most of my ideas: talking to myself. I was driving home from an arduous day of study and research, when I began speaking to myself as a Tarbash'esque Mohinder whilst sitting in traffic. It kind of went from there.

The sad thing is that if this cartoon had been longer than thirty seconds, I might not have ever bothered making it.

Also, thanks for the review! I was really uncertain of the response a toon like this would recieve :D Blockhead isn't all I know, but it's clearly all I've submitted.
