Ah... so that's what happens.
Well, this makes total sense now.
what.
Anyway, the animation was fun. A great silent adventure. The frame by frame work was good, a tad choppy at bits but otherwise good.
Great work though!
Reviews for "Where the Missing Sock Go"
OxSox responds:
Thanks for the review! I basically agree with you on the fbf. It was a big thing I was working on in the animation and I think doing the movie helped me improve my style. Not to pad myself on the back or anything but I thought I really nailed the ogre swinging the club though, I think that may be my best fbf to date.
great work
this was great there was alot of potential here. The sound was very well chosen n really set a mood. Decent animation didnt care 4 the art myself needless to say it was fairly decent. The voices especially the end "wth" was really distant n lacked quality which isnt a big deal honestly thats prolly u just not having a decent mic at ur disposal. The idea was fairly cleaver n well presented. The only other prob i noticed was that the shading n such was awkward or didnt make any sence n well u arnt a profesional likely so who am i to point to much finger anywho great work good to see sumthing of this calibur from sumone new on the portal than the same old famous ppl
OxSox responds:
Yeah, if you donated several hundred dollars to the Ox Sox Foundation (TM) I promise to improve voice acting quality. However until that day you'll have to live with, what I agree, is somewhat poor mic quality. As for the artwork problems, all I can do is practice right? Thanks for the review, hope to hear from you again in my next movie.
Hmm...interesting...
Throughout the whole movie, I was really disturbed by the sock's face. It was really gay looking. But still, it was pretty cool, fun to watch, animation was good, and it was interesting. I'm sure it did take a while. Good job though.
OxSox responds:
I'm not sure I'd say "gay" so much as Thomas the Tank Engine esque. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that his face was perfectly round. Thanks for the review though.
Very good
Lots of good points. Story/funny subject; originality; animation of sock- expression, rolling etc; sound/music pace/timing. Its all good.
OxSox responds:
Yeah! Thanks as always

What a remarkable concept! Such a well devised plot about something so simple, that many people have overlooked it. I like the way that the plot for the sock itself develops like with certain Indiana Jones movies. Perhaps you could have developed that a little more, with some sort of dialogue for the Ogre and the sock, as they clearly have some issues.
When you draw, try zooming in more, to give yourself better control of the cursor, as it will improve the overall finish of your characters and will make the animations look smoother and better finished.
I loved the call back to the laundrette, as lots of people would have missed that out at the end, since it was just a vehicle to start the story. Perhaps we can see this taken a little further, by showing us what exactly goes on in Sockland?
Oh and for the grammar of the title, it should read "Where the missing sock goes", or "Where the missing socks go." Just so you know.

OxSox responds:
Yeah the title in the actual flash is "Where the missing socks go" the title had to be truncated for newgrounds to the character limit on titles. I really should have just thought up a new title ("A Sock's Odyssey, maybe?), but thanks for noticing that.
I'll try to work on the detail of the artwork, as you suggested.
I was sort of halfheartedly batting the idea of sequel around, which would focus more on sockland, but I'm not sure if I could stomach another sock related project.
Thanks for the review!
