funny...
It was a bit childish but I liked it's style and how you animated it so I won't complain too much but anyways just keep doing your thing man!=)
Impressive...
I'm always impressed by anyone who has the patience to work with clay animation/stop-motion. By this one, I'm very impressed. Good work.
Pretty good
I've always admired your work. It's alot different than mine, but the fun and passion you put in your pieces really projects back to the viewers.
The reason i think you are a great artist is because you don't have any remarkable animating talent in the traditional sense, but you compensate that completely with the creativite mind you posses. Your work is rotoscoped, claymated, drawn or photographed and all these different techniques make your portfolio very rich. It's awesome how you create your own music and the way you synchronise it with the animation. I always have the feeling that i watched something complete and cool in alot of aspects after seeing one of your animations, instead of the disappointed feeling i have when i see another one of the well drawn but empty content animations. Fuck drawing perfect walk cycles and godly explosions when most animators can't even come up with a solid basic idea or concept to use these in.
I think you can still improve alot on the technical aspects, such as the way you model your clay characters or draw the environments, but all these things will come naturally in time and practise. Keep on making these original pieces! They are really inspirational.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! I agree with you completely, and I've never really considered myself a great animator. I certainly wouldn't win an "animate some kick-ass frame by frame stuff!" contest like Synj or Gel would, so I try to just be creative and come up with interesting things to see and hear. As far as this particular animation goes, keep in mind we literally made this in February, 1997, and gel and I both cringe at the bad quality of the models and animation. I would love to see what kind of claymation we could come up with now!!
