[Crack in my system]

Daaaaannnnnnnngg.
Excellent compostiion and storytelling, I couldn't look away.

DeadFlyFromMoon responds:

Thank you very much ;)

[Lip Sync Practice]

If you want to practice lip syncing, try looking at a phoneme chart which shows a diagram of general mouth shapes that occur when making certain sounds that then form words. You can find a ton online with a simple google search.
A good way to then test your use of these shapes(in your own drawing style of course) is to use a phrase emphasizing a lot of each sound.

e.g.
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
"Sibilance"(this word highlights several consonant sounds and is used in mic checks)

DovahFeyn responds:

Thank you for the advice. I'll be sure to try it out.

[WELCOME!]

pure advertisement, no substance.
please blam.

LegacyAnimation responds:

sorry, i just was proud of my first vid won't do this again with a welcome vid.

[Sonic Monocle - E3: 'L U V']

Cute as always, but the motion graphics in this one are far better than in your previous work, nice job!
And the overlays definitely give it a better look.

CosmicMonocle responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :D

[Sonic Monocle - E1: 'I Don't Wanna See You Burn']

What can I say? It was cute, it was definitely a comedy, it has a song and there were ants.
Great work man, I like that the guitar strumming was actually synced to the music(some people just don't do that detail).

CosmicMonocle responds:

Thanks man - glad you noticed ;)

[Meet Soldier: 76 (Overwatch Animation)]

The first part kind of sucked and felt very off character for Soldier and very generic, but I'm glad I stuck around because the Genji bit was legitimately funny.

SilentChimaru responds:

Thank's for the feedback! The thing is that's what I'm going for in this series, the opposite of the characters.

[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!

TermosGapa responds:

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:
