Reviews for The American Jerk

[Royallyboned]

Good, but could be great.

You have a good idea going here, but what you really need to do is fix your audio synchronization. The story was good, and the dialogue was well written, but the lip synching was so far off, it really detracted from the overall piece. Also, it would help if the dialogue moved faster, as well. Even though I liked the animation, I was almost ready to just stop watching it because the pace was so slow I was getting bored.

My advice would be to go back and re-record the dialogue at a faster pace, then synchronize it better with the animation, then resubmit.

Royaledis responds:

I really like your comments on the pacing of the dialogue. I always notice that my movies are a bit slow and can't really tell why. It's the dialogue!

In the recording booth it always seems I'm talking too fast, but I guess I have to remember that animation audio needs to be greatly exaggerated.

Thanks for the comments and I'm def. gonna be thinking about that next time.

AHH! Great but one major issue.

Great movie - Great graphics, cool idea, nice style, BUT ONE HUGE ISSUE!

The lip syncing was so off it wasn't even funny! If it had been on track, this surely would have made the front page! Fix that, and all will be well though.

No synch

Well I don't know why but it was a pain to watch this, I'm talking about the Lip's synch: there was none. And I think I have a good computer (Athlon 64 3500+, 1Gb Ram). I turned down quality without changes. The little girl with the cats was funny.

Funny, but needs some more work

The lip-sync is absolutely shocking. It was like watching a badly dubbed Japanese monster movie. The graphics were good, and the animation was fine.

The American Jerk had some funny bits. The annoying lip-sync issue slowed things down considerably, though. I would be staring at a mouth moving for 10 seconds after the voice had stopped. See if you can fix this.

2/5
