Getting to know CatFat

Run time approx: 6:45
Frames approx: 7200
Frame rate: 18

sooooo, i was so laid back with this animation that it spanned months, which is now evident in both the visual AND audio quality....

I've been wanting to make CatFat animated for years now, it all started over 4 years ago with a comic that i distributed (successfully) in school.
I'm not too happy with this first one, but it's technically not an episode, think of it more as episode 0, it's more of an introduction into the series, just introducing the characters in a more personal way. Please please PLEASE watch it all before voting or reviewing, it does get better towards the end ;)
I had loads of syncing problems as usual and RubberNinja was kind enough to lend me a hand aswell as Nathan Viney who helped clarrify everything in the last days, so thanks soooooo much guys!!!
Thanks for watching and i hope you enjoy my efforts! ^.^
Also thanks to Sentinel94 for making that great music, i hope you don't mind me using it ^_^

BTW, blame Simma-T for it taking so long, always talking to me...tut tut

"Good work"

date: June 14, 2008

Loved the animation man. It definitely kept me interested, seeing everything move vibrantly. The backgrounds were wonderful, but that's no surprise because you are always doing good work with coloring and drawing backdrops. The only problem i had was the fact that the beginning was slow ( everyone seems to think that), but near the end it picked up the pace. However I see that the introduction was necessary to tell us about FatCat. Hopefully you continue the series and make it a good one to watch for. Peace

"I'm glad I was able to watch...."

First and foremost, it's terrible that animations such as this get skipped over on NG, but I'm happy I saw your post on the front page and was able to watch it.

Onto the review...the common complaint seems to be that the beginning was slow, and I'd have to agree.

However, the last minute or so was hysterical, and if the entire cartoon had been as such then it would've made a direct trip to the front page. Remember, the average NG viewer has a short attention span, and needs to be brought into an animation immediately and held there with good material.

I look forward to seeing any future episodes you might make, and I know you can improve. :)

Author's Response:

yeah thanks, i've already written the next one as well as a few others and they are much quicker, basically like the ending minutes of this one but without the slow start ;)
I'd like to hear your thoughts on my next one!

"Great up and coming series"

by: r1dd1m

Newgrounds has always been completely over-saturated with series after series of bland characters who begin fighting for ridiculous reasons. This has revitalized my hope for newgrounds. You actually have unique characters! Amazing! I love your art style, but animation could be a little bit smoother. Work on improving expression and you could have a top series in a few episodes! Work hard and it will pay off! i want to see the next one soon!
