EDiT: 4th! Not bad! Thanks for voting
Spooce the Spaceboy is a measly janitor aboard his captians ship. But when things go awry, it's up to Spooce to save his crew.
Other things ensue.
This one was a fun one. I started it around the end of November for a competition called Nooni Media Animation Extravaganza, which I later came in 2nd place for. The theme for this round was "long distance" and this is what I came up with somehow. I didn't get to finish in the 25 days I was given to complete it, so I came back to it for the month of March and did it right up. I think I accomplished some cool things with this one. I think it's my most dialogue heavy cartoon so far so the lip syncing was a real challenge for me. Fun!
Animation, voices, and most of the music and sound effects by me.

No, thx U!
one thing that grealty and devastatingly increaed your comedy is that you used music fantasticly in your newest flash. I think this one would have more crank up potential if something like that would have been done, too
Thanks! Yeah thinking back, I probably could've don something cool with the music in this one but I couldn't find a way to merge the "space" feel with the "bizarre comedy" feel.
Stick to this style; it's funny :)
I think it's pretty good
I loved the voice acting and just how woefully inept Spooce was (I lost it at him typing in >hi)
I though it was over after the missile exploded, but him floating around and talking to himself was what made it for me. Cool stuff!
Hehe thanks! Good thing he's dead now.
Refreshingly harmonious randomness, even with that berserk little space critter there was barely any violence at all... even though the plot was bizarrely grim and drudgeful. I'm wondering, do you do lip sync first and then rotate the character as he speaks, drifting through space, or is everything actually drawn upside down? Nice animation, nice plot, nice voicing, keep it going!
-cd-
Thanks! Figuring out how to do the rotating lip sync was kind of a challenge. I had to make it so that the movement of the actual character was in a symbol which I later tweened to rotate. Then I had to do the lip sync so I brought a duplicate of the character animation symbol (which was stationary) onto the stage and animated the mouths that way. Then I just copied and pasted the frames into the symbol so when I went back to the rotating one the mouths were rotating with it. It seems like the obvious route, and there was probably an easier way to do it, but for some reason that took me a while to figure out.
