Yeah, unfortunately I've lost about a quarter of the original animation, so working with an exported swf was now out of the question. This was the result of bringing a mov into flash and then re-exporting. I tried to keep the settings as high as I could, but sadly it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Ah well, twas' a good learning curve.

I do agree this short tends to fall a little flat on the punch line. That's one thing I'm trying my best to get better at with each short - making sure that it's punchy and well paced. You'd be surprised how often I look back on projects a month after finishing them and spot a bajillion mistakes and holes, thinking "christ, I made that?!" - but it's all good, tis the joy of growing as an artist... making mistakes is super gay, I mean good.

Thanks for taking the time to give a solid review and for the kudos! I really appreciate it mate.

Peace,

hah! thanks for watching more of my crap good sir! These two vids are actually getting on a bit now. Every short I make tends to be a learning curve, mainly with timing, pacing etc. I'm enjoying the ride though :)

hah! I know. It was probably one of the first scripts I wrote with these characters... can only get better I guess.

Thanks for watching man!

Thanks kindly! Glad you enjoyed :)

n0o0o0o0o! I worked so damn hard for that 5th star, you freakin' tease!
Yeah, unfortunately I opened up this old project to export as swf, etc like I did with FAQ and the first quarter of the animation was gone... I mean vanished, caput... and not just in one incriment, in ALL of them. It's the weirdest thing, but yeah that meant I could only work with the MOV. I thought about not uploading but to be honest this is one of my stronger shorts so I felt it's best to give it a go.

I agree that this one may not have as much payoff as it could either. I showed it to a mate and he had a similar reaction - "he just keeps sedating him and stealing clothes... where's the payoff?" - I was forced to kill and eat him for the comment, but I couldn't help but feel he was onto something. But seriously, I do agree for the first ep in this series it's a little one-note.

Thanks for the feedback mate!
