lol always those group of weirdos at a party doing dumb shit,
they came out great love the backgrounds and colors, you put alot of work into it.

Happy Robot Day!! I really liked the lighting in this one, the way it reflects off of everyone.

Overall, nice short but sweet animation :) Props to you for pulling through with it

Robot New Years is never belated if you don't know when Robots celebrate Robot New Years in the future in the first place. :P

Good stuff!
You definitely tackled some more ambitious shots that a lot of animators would hesitate to put in toons when they want to get it done quickly. Things such as crowds, characters walking in perspective and prop interaction.

With those, the things that stand out during the walk cycle is just a few extra inbetweens, smoothing them out a bit and making sure the character lifts up with their leg before dipping down during a step. Some steps were flawless, and a couple others looked like sliding before getting to the backyard sliding door.

Crowd shots were full of uniquely designed robots (all thanks to your extensive backlog of robot characters. haha) doing different things and talking to one another. Same thing with the walk cycles, if the time crunch didn't impact the process, a few additional inbetweens or motions to make them seem more lively without over-acting would've been a good touch.

Lastly, with the diving board scene, you communicated that most of the robots knew that getting into the pool was a bad idea, and after the shove and electricity, having some characters attempting to book it out of there or almost get shocked as well by the arcs would get you some more score points instead of standing in place. But once again, I know the schedule conflicts and the time crunch involved with this.

End sequence works well with the extra sound effects and having the same voice of the intro's engineer gasping. Implying that the engineer will either revive the short-circuited bots or lambast them for having a party. lol

Only thing confusing is just knowing which robot is which, since we've had conversations with you and others in the gang, so while WE might know the robots names, the audience might not. Same with 4 of the robots having the same model/chassis type. Without a distinction in design, the audience relies on these bot's eyes to differentiate them, so when they're blinking or unconscious, one can't tell aside from context clues.

Otherwise, a Happy Robot New Years was had by all. :P
Your ambition while not being exclusively an animation student is impressive to a lot of us here, so we all look forward to seeing what you make, be it illustrations, comics, animations or robots.

Good work! :D

Score: 7 out of 10
(7.5 out of 10 if there was a few more inbetweens at specific places to make livelier background characters)

Keep it up!
