The Odd Berry Squad!

Share Collapse

The Odd Berry Squad (abbreviated "TOBS") is a show created by myself, Cein. I do it along with my friends. It's about a bunch of random jack asses causing mischief wherever they go.

Quick rundown:
We have been doing the show since December 2015. We so far have done 8 episodes and 1 short. This is episode 8. It's the most recent one, I just finished it the other night. All of the episodes are on my youtube channel "kcdawg13" (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5CKyTPI-FB2Qvk4XyfmkYA/videos). I am a beginner animator, and the animation is as good as it can get with my crappy computer. The animation should get better as my operating system is updated in the future. Some of the earlier episodes look really bad, so tread lightly. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

NOTE: I openly accept any criticism I get, so feel free to give the show a low scoring if I did anything you didn't like. Criticism will help my animation get better. Thank you.

I will admit I appreciate the fact you're open to criticism as most folks are not. So with that said, obviously this has problems:

1. Nothing really felt authentic with the art in general. Almost everything seemed like it was nothing more than copying and pasting. Even the character designs look like that due to there being some white line around their limbs. I can't say if you been copying everything or not. If so, learn to draw out your characters, props, etc. And if you are not, then be careful on how you draw.
2. Speaking of drawing, please make at least a few more backgrounds instead of just using the same one in different shots. Especially at the end with everybody outside. It makes you look lazy.
3. There are some parts that went on for too long, especially with that awkward black joke. 13 seconds of dead air is not funny.
4. I recommend you learn how to do animation fps instead of tweening everything. Although I have seen tween animation done good before, this is not how to do it. So please try a different animation style.

Now I do give you a 2/5 rating because there is some good in this. The voice acting is good-ish for the most part, although I think it could be improved with the help of Audacity. And the lip-sync is actually pretty spot on! But that's really about it. Everything else holds you back. Now I understand you are a beginner animator, so please take my advice and try to improve. You do have potential, so I really hope you make good quality in the near future. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your criticism. I currently use Anime Studio, which isn't very good for animating, especially for artists that like drawing their characters and props, etc. I drew everything in Photoshop aside from the Shotgun, I'm attempting re-draw all the characters and such and make them look more crisp. I hope to branch out into Flash or ToonBoom in the very close future. Sadly right now I am currently stuck with this, mainly because my computer sucks and can't handle anything.

Again, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it.
