[Character test]

I'm giving you a one star because I don't believe this really deserves to be kept on the movie portal for all eternity because it lacks the quality and substance.

But I've got some advice:
This isn't really a character test. A character test would mean you drawing common motions and seeing how these characters may perform them to match their personalities on the screen instead of just in your head.
e.g. One of them is clearly timid so he may take quick small steps or a shaky walk for a basic walk cycle.
Also, although there isn't any color, to due a proper test you should aim for the full motion the character will perform in the final piece. This isn't an animatic, it's a test, you can't really see how they will look in the final if they move every 6th frame(unless that is the look you will be going for).

A great resource to take as an example is Ben Bocquelet's "Gumball 1min animation test" on his personal youtube channel. It doesn't much resemble the final show, but you can see in 1 minute how each character differs in look and personality by how they move and in what time intervals they move(e.g. gumball is irrational, so his movements are snappy and dramatic, while darwin is sensible and moves very steadily).

Hope that helps and good luck!

Thanks for star and advica about "animation test"meaning, You have totally right but...
I work in movie/animation industry (as animator - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DUkS98yw5Y , as screenwriter - http://www.agibagi.com/ , as storyboarder - http://thewitcher.com/en/witcher3 ), and now looking for something specefic, way from modern-cartoons industry, so as cell animation. Back to the roots. I hop my next "test" will be better. Thanks for Your help and time :)

[Broken Melody]

There's a lot of smooth, nice animation, but then there's a bunch of snappy movement like the flashlight clipping onto his belt, the zipper bag opening, and the cobwebs that really took me out of it.
Otherwise good work!

BitterBrushAnimation responds:

yeah alot of technical errors.... but i really needed to complete a project rather then getting wrapped up in the details..... ill work my way up to having that luxury ... i appreciate your feedback .... its good to know that took u out of it... :) i hope you will continue to follow and criticize me in the future... it helps alot!

[New Wave Halloween Collab]

The "You've got a friend" song was probably my favorite. Really catchy, wish the creator would upload it as a standalone.

[Chased - Hellfire]

The clip isn't responding to the main beats and if you're using a slider to determine the active frequency range you should shrink it. A lot of the frequencies aren't being used in this song which is why the bottom half of the middle circle looks so dead.

[Intro 4k]

Epileptic Seizure Warning

Ibanem responds:

Ok Gracias

[Me trying KFC for the first time:]

I got 0 enjoyment out of watching this.
Sometimes using repetition can be funny but not in this case.

StevenToons responds:

well uh OK but thanks for rating.

[Undertales of Amazing]

Don't get me wrong, it's an alright watch, but it's not really anything special or cohesive other than the consistent use of Undertale characters. And though using those characters put a spin on each audio clip, it's not that much of a change.
However thanks so much for putting all of the clips in the descriptions for others to find, good on you!

[Walk Cycle: Mabel]

I don't want to give this a high rating because it's just a walk cycle, but I do want to take the time to compliment you on your cloth movement.
Also the lines in the final version are a bit fuzzy, and it's obviously not the resolution's fault since the sketched lines at the start are very sharp.

[AboveSupervision]

The camera kept taking me out of it. When it's in motion is is constantly moving like very keyframe of its position is interpolated on a bezier curve.
The Mei part was pretty funny albeit some of the voice acting felt way off from what they should be.

[THE HALLOWEEN SONG]

Wonderful fun and music, I will share this every October til the day I die
