Bob's Life is a satirical cartoon comedy based on the life of a normal guy named Bob who works as a mid-level manager at a powerful technology company called "Poodle Technologies". As the company introduces new products with the hopes of solving real world problems, the unexpected implications that these new technologies bring with them are quickly revealed. The cartoon deals with a variety of topics related to technology, corporate culture, politics, environment, and more.

Not bad at all, the writing especially carries it, although I might suggest redoing a could of the models, Bob especially looks uncanny. It would also help with the animation, as it currently is quite stiff, but that kinda works for the style.

Thank you sir, we've been working hard on making improvements on our production workflows and artistic style so hopefully you'll be seeing some better stuff from us in the future!!! Thanks again for taking some time to share some feedback with us :)

Very nice

So this was nice and some good creative characters here love the detail you ad onto these characters the voice work is amazing this is the first of your works im seeing but I have to say thi swas pretty good I think some subtitles would do very well on this one anyways nice job.

~~SUGGESTED IDEAS~~
I think some subtitles would do very well on this one

~X~

engageanimation responds:

Thanks for the suggestion. I think this is something that we'll definitely be looking into for future projects. Thanks for watching and rating our episode!

The story is original but not very interesting.
The humor is cheesy and it doesnt hold your attention for more than a moment.

The dialogue and the lipsync animation is matched pretty well but it moves too fast and it doesnt seem that you have enough mouth shapes to cover certain vowels and constanants.

But the animation on everything else looks very stiff.
An example of that would be in the beginning when the characters are talking.
theres no movement at all while their mouth is moving its just fast lipsync pasted on to a still character model.

Usually with good character animation the head would move a bit to the left or right or shrink and expand in order to show expression, to show them breathing.
Or the eyes and mouth would move slightly up, down, left, right, or diagnol on the face in order to show the direction that the characters are looking
In other words, It makes them seem more realistic and relatable and to show their living and breathing characters.
Though,
you seemed to have corrected that a bit in the last two or three scenes when the characters are talking in the board room.

Other than that,
I can tell you put a lot of effort in to this and it definitely shows.
But I strongly recommend that you animate your characters more and work on your story.
This has good potential:)

engageanimation responds:

Thanks for writing, always like to hear feedback from our audiences! I think you're spot on with your observations, we've been working on improving these items in our latest projects so hopefully we will see improvement :) Cheers!

awesome. haha. I like the original characters and the animation.

Office space humor is always funny to me.

engageanimation responds:

Yup, agreed office humor is great, especially when you can relate to it from personal experience!! So much madness in corporate world :)

Not sure how that flashback really related to the eye hmmmmm... I like the animation style, both creative and detailed, but the story itself... seems like it just jumps into something you might need prerequisite knowledge for here. Even though it's the first episode. Maybe it'll all make sense with the sequels though... either way it's an interesting start! Looking forward to seeing more.

-cd-

engageanimation responds:

Thanks for the feedback it's much appreciated!! We were trying to create an ongoing gag that develops in subsequent episodes where Gerry has more flashbacks and more is revealed to the audience including how he lost his eye. We did cut a small clip out when Gerry returns from his flashback in this episode where he makes reference to his eye saying "that was the same night I lost my eye, not quite sure how that happened though..." but maybe we should add that back in based on your feedback. Anyway thanks again!!! :)
