I know you're probablly demonstrating your animation skills, but it seemed a bit long winded. Cute tho. Voices/ amount of emotiong/volume seem a bit off. But good job!
Reviews for "Monster Next Door"
RocketheadAnimation responds:
thank you! :)
I feel like I can't really judge this properly, because it's obviously just part of a larger animation. The innocent monster who freaks everyone out when he tries to make friends is hardly original, anyone could see it coming and know what kind of jokes to expect. The art and sound are top-notch, and I can't help but be entertained no matter how overdone the jokes are. Also, there was surely a better way to end the preview, it just gets cut off abruptly.

please watch again for full version. we had trouble during upload last time. sorry for any inconvenience.
I was so sure the guy with the glasses was gonna turn out to be the monster.. :P Pretty good animation.
I thought the style and art direction was very sharp. really loved the whole painted look, and the 2 parts were very creative. The weakest part was the actual animation. None of it had any weight, or sense of movement. Everything moved very mechanically without any enertia. Especially that running cycle where the neighbor is running across the room. If the artist was better at 2d it wouldve benefited him to do a 2d animatic and hit all the 3d poses timed to it. Also work on gestures and poses. maybe next time watch or record the voice actors as they said their lines (if thats possible) or act it out yourselves.
keep up the good work.
RocketheadAnimation responds:
thanks mindchamber, we'll try to remember that if we ever to work on another project. cheers. :)
As they say,don't judge a book by its cover.Since I already adore clay animation,the touching story is just icing on the cake.The characters are so amusing you can't help but love them.I hope we get to see more of them.
