Sweet lord, I just finished a huge project.
 

I've been working on an animation for the past 10 weeks and I just finished tonight. Feels great to be done. It can be viewed here.

To pass, I have to screen my film for the film and animation students and faculty, which happens Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm a pretty nervous; let me know what you guys think.

the ending saved it. otherwise it was just too drawn out with too many pauses.

Re: Sweet lord, I just finished a huge project.
 

Since you just finished ten weeks of work, I'm going to hold back a bit.

Starting with a positive comment should help. The voice acting seemed very good.

The animation had what I think is a flaw. The characters clothing didn't have any contrast with their skin. It was a bad visual.

Of course, the real problem is the story. I'm not sure what motivated you to make film about a dog watching pornography with an OC cast member. But, don't let that be your motivation for future projects. It was a poor choice, especially for something going to be seen by a school faculty.

And, comedy might not be your area of expertise.

I liked it. From the perspective of someone that doesn't know anything about animation, I thought it looked pretty cool.

I also got a couple of chuckles out of the story.

I have a weird sense of humor, but I thought it was really funny. Good writing if it was you.

"I jogged here"
"But isn't it like 50 miles? That doesn't even make sense."
" I dunno."

I know nothing about the animation so no comments there. Someone complained about the pauses, I thought they enhanced the chic-funny-weird vibe.

Good stuff, hope your professor has a sense of humor.

oh I actually really liked the animation, but I thought Mischa Barton should've been hand drawn too

I liked it.

One thing though. The very long pauses and slow moving plot didn't really....add ambiance to it for me...it just made me quite bored.

Still though...I thought a couple parts were pretty funny....just wish there was more action and/or voice acting (b/c that was pretty good actually).

Thanks for the feedback so far. As a film/animation kid I'm used to getting flamed on a regular basis, so don't hold back.

I have a pretty offbeat sense of humor which makes my projects very hit or miss--definitely evident in the comments so far.

And as far as my professors, they all go by their first names without exception, if that says anything about them.

Ya, I figured. After it was quiet for about 8 seconds I just start laughing because its so pointless. Hope it goes well.

I was worried about this. I like accentuating awkward moments and usually end up overdoing it; probably my biggest leak.

I also actually originally recorded alot more voiceover type stuff but took most of it out in the final edit because I felt like things were becoming too dialogue-driven. Perhaps more of a balance...

Glad you liked it, though.
