"(title in work)"

^^Good Points^^
A good start to a series that hopefully will continue. I guess in terms of which one was better...they both had their funny points to them, but I liked the second one better. The joke at the end was pretty random, I liked it.

^^Needs Improving^^
Keep working on the humor a bit. Your shorts have good jokes, but it could definitely be a lot funnier.

"Great"

Pretty damn good man. Well written, well animated. Not a foot wrong.
Well I do have one complaint. Mainly the way the audio sometimes crackles. THat could have been easily fixed with some free audio software, but that's it.
Overall nice and random jokes made and excellent movies :D

The stories are very simple and short (that's why it's called "shorts" I guess ;) ) but they were funny.

The voice acting was done great, but the sound was lacking some quality. Every now and then it cracked and buzzed, so you should try to work on that. Maybe a better mic would help here, or you could try to use a different program to record the voices.

The graphics are okay, even though I did miss the arms of the characters most of the time. I think it would look much better, if they had arms all the time, not just when they need them.

"Alright"

date: February 2, 2008

Well the menu was good although I would suggest putting a "Play Short 1" and "Play Short 2" on the menu in someway, just incase someone wants to come back to it and want to watch one of those. The voice acting was okay in most parts although some of it seemed a little jumpy, decent enought to hear though which is okay.

Animation and graphics where pretty nice too, although I would maybe suggest in the second short the breathing thing, just animate the chest as oppose to the whole top half because taking deep breaths he seemed to be getting fatter and then normal. But otherwise, pretty nice work.

4/5

"It's pretty good"

date: January 31, 2008

Although I find their lack of arms for the most part, disturbing. You should change that when you do the series. The humour wasn't bad, although I think it'll be good in the context of a full script. Overall, the graphics were pretty decent, voice acting was fairly good, it's an enjoyable movie.

Nice work.

"4/5 and 8/10"

date: January 30, 2008

- Good stuff -
The colours very simple yet effective, they were very well chosen and were put in the right places. The VA was very neat and wasn't too loud or too quiet, it was bang-on. The lines were rather large but it made the flash more cartoony.

- Bad stuff and improvments -
The lip-synching was a bit weird and could of had a bit more effort put into it because, it was only on image but streched up and down to make the movement of the mouth, so maybe in the next 'Stan and Joe Shorts' you could get more movement of the mouths. THere are great tutorials on lip-synching in the collections of the Flash Tutorials.

"Haha"

date: January 28, 2008

Hillarious. Simple stylish graphics, smooth movement and an intense plotline. Would be nice with arms though, otherwise everything is perfect. Love it, keep it going!

"fun piece, made me smile"

by: Bezman
date: January 22, 2008

The ideas for both shorts were great, as were the voices.

I liked the selective blurring effect and the simple lines looked cool.

I actually found the lack of arms at times a bit distracting and felt that more than one body pose would have helped convey a bit more emotion. Also, when stan is on the couch, the underside of his body looks a bit odd.

Regardless, this was a fun piece, made me smile, and I liked the letters in the first screen.

"Nice stuff."

by: Coop83

I liked this - two shorts, both with well written plots and well delivered punchlines.

I'm not too sure about the way the lip sync works, as it just looks a little too fast, and as if at some points, the mouth is moving when it really shouldn't be. Takes a little more time, but I;m sure that rounding out a well done animation like this is worth it.

I like your drawing style, the layout is nice and while it looks simple, you get quite big effects for seemingly few lines of colour on your characters. Sort of minimalist, plus the paint fill function. Couldn't be more simple, with a more effective end product.

How long did this take to produce? When will we see the aforementioned episode 2?
