Reviews for "Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 2"

K

^^Good Points^^
The loading screen was pretty cool. Better graphics, with the backgrounds added in this episode.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm not saying short is necessarily bad, and I like movies shorter than longer, but there is a point where it really takes away from the movie. In this I really thought you should have added a few more stunts and made this a little bit longer.

Jimtopia responds:

This cartoon was either really funny, or really dumb. I tried my hardest to make this really funny, but to certain people it may just seem dumb. Glad you liked the pre-loader though. Just remember, this is a short because I don't want it to take away to much time from bigger projects I'm working on.

Jackass!

Well, that was an amazingly short episode. A bit of homage to Jackass' "rocket skates" stunt they pulled a few years back.

No time to think about what the punchline could be, this is all about the delivery, which was exectued expertly.

Obviously, as you know I prefer to see longer animations which actually build up to the monumental punchline, but this worked just fine.

How long do we have to wait for the next episode?

Jimtopia responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, yeah, the point of this cartoon was to be short and funny, that's about it. My longer cartoons are the ones with storylines and whatnot. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, I should have some bigger stuff coming out soon.

Well...

It's very short no doubt about that. The preloader was nice and the background effect during the movie at the beginning... with the green and greyish circles fading into the middle.

The music suited perfectly, and it was funny... what needed lots of improving is the graphics:

The roller skates we're very well done. The body wasn't done very well, definitely needed shadows and better colouring. Eyes could've had more detail... the main part that really helps is the shadowing.

A lazy way to do that is to convert each part of the body into a symbol and apply the drop shadow filter, inner shadow, set the alpha down to 18% or something like that, set each blur axis down to 3 and choose the distance and angle.

Made me laugh but next time make one longer please or a whole animation with heaps of funny shorts... and graphics need improving.

Jimtopia responds:

Well, the reason these are so short is so that it doesn't take too much time away from one of my bigger projects, like, one of these episodes I can make in maybe 2 hours. I'll try that shadowing thing next time, thanks for reviewing!

Made me laugh :B

Jimtopia responds:

Thank you. :D

Well, it made me laugh

4/5 for you sir.
