Redbull: Magical Urine

This was a short I did for the Redbull Canimation competition, although I never got around to uploading it for the competition because I enjoy forgetting when the deadline is. So here it is, a small Redbull animation in which is tastefully called; "Redbull: Magical Urine"

Not bad. I didn't care for the color palette but the feel of the video was consistant throughout - so I find that helps. The idea was funny and the sounds were pretty good.

Now then, my turn! First up, hater's gonna hate with the colours, there's a pretty big variety in our class as far as that goes, but in this it did its job. Only thing I noticed after watching it for review is that the white light at the end (which was a nice touch) made the last shot a lot lighter than the rest of the animation. One thing I notice in your backgrounds is that you manage to pull off depth a lot better than I do, I've said to you a fair number of times that your blur effects really add a certain charm to the backgrounds somehow. As for the length, I know this was done for a contest rather than a paid gig, so there's a difference, and the winning one was pretty long if I remember. Although the opening shot could have been trimmed down a bit, it seems like we panned through a fair bit of forest before we got anywhere. I agree with the rabbit hopping, that it should be more FBF, or at least add some bounce to his ears, but again, I know what our time limit was like.
Pretty cool concept too compared to the standard ideas people were coming up with, my favourite bit would be the wiggling rabbit flying off into the sky at the very end.
Anyways, that's all I've got at the moment, I wasn't setting to counter or go with anyone else's reviews, I was just saying my side of it since I was in the same class :P
Good to see your stuff on Newgrounds man!

Allright, so my Kreid buddy requested me to review this, and I'll try to make this a detailed meaningful review so I'm gonna sound like a total dick. here we go.

First off, I noticed how bad your colors were. Gradients? YUCK. Gradients pretty much scream "OH LOOK AT ME IM A LAZY ASS WHO DOESN"T WANNA SHADE"

Colors take up about ALL of the screen, besides the outlines of the characters, so I think color choices is one of the most important parts of cartoons. SO, study color theory some, and stick with color schemes, when you make a cartoon, create a pallette of colors all next to eachother to see if they look good, and only use those colors and for jeebus christmas DON"T use gradients. Only exception to that is the sky since in real life it really IS a gradient.

Secondly, your use of sound effects was mediocre, not terrible, but could've been better.
Just overall though it's wayyy too long and drawn out.
Since it's a commercial you do realize commercials pay according to the amount of seconds their commercial is right? Why do you think they're always so short? U:
Commercials....the shorter the better. I could honestly imagine this all being done in less than 10 seconds, and it would've been better that way.

Lastly, I noticed when the bunny hopped you only moved that still picture of it. All I can say is do frame by frame whenever possible and DONT HALF-ASS ANYTHING. If you can do something better do it better.

Better if it had Chuck Noris drinking his pee to wear he gain the power of his UNSTOPABLE round house kick and imortality

wow i really loved the backgrounds! very visually pleasing ^^ well made short
