DISCLAIMER: At one point in this short I make a little joke about Machinima, I want to make it clear that, I have no problems with Machinima, I'm a Machinima director. I'm not the greatest animator in the world, but my opinion of SOME of the other Machinima animators is quite low, in fact because of how bad their animations are it INSPIRED me to animate, because if they can do it, anyone can.

Anyway, this is just a little animation about me making more animations. So every cartoon I make is essentially part of a series about me becoming a better animator, and potentially befriending other great animators! This was also a little tribute to every animator mentioned in the video, cause you know, I'm "fighting the best to become the best" sort of deal.

And the song at the end is "The Sunlit Earth," from Shadow of the Colossus.

EDIT: Sometimes when the video loads it might zoom in, just right click and "show all." I have no idea why it's doing this now.

i like everthing, except the beggining, that was tooooooooo slow(i know, the shadow of the colossus game have a lot of this, but... is like take much time). After that, i love it all of the animation(and the voice of god), the menction of other animatiors like the "titans" of the internet. And no, you need to be more hilarious to talk to egoraptor mortal!!! :D

Hmmmmmm well, at first I thought it was pretty impressive-looking, but it got really repetitive and drawn-out after a while... your voice-acting was good, but the character's expressions and motions didn't seem to match it too well, it was very minimal and limited. Overall I sorta liked the animation a but but it was just so slow, I really wanted something to happen. Also that part with the horse at the beginning-ish wasn't animated very well, I dunno, it just seemed so off and choppy. BUT you're better than most animators out there, so it's still okay.

Thanks, yeah, I did get a bit lazy with the main character's expressions, really just focused on his lip movements, and I normally make stuff that's a minute or less, but I did this to replicate the real Shadow of the Colossus intro.

And that horse! I actually animated the whole thing frame by frame at first, but with the guy sitting on it, it seemed, off. He was very smooth and neatly animated while the horse was a little shaky like Ed, Edd, and Eddy, so I made each body part it's own symbol and made it follow the first animation to keep the style consistent. But thank you c:

It was funny. You are funny. But it dragged on too long, mostly because of the massive amount of time it took to wait for the light god thing to get done speaking. It damaged the flow of the flash greatly.

Otherwise good, loved the ending. All the best.

Hey thanks, in my defense I replicated the slow intro of Shadow of the Colossus! :P But I agree.

You really need to cut down on that sun god talk.

I mean, i ended up just surfing through newgrounds just to wait for the damn thing to finish speaking.
