"Needs some work"

You show some genuine talent in this. The figures themselves look decent and move well, and the action is pretty good. Your biggest problem is a low frame rate which makes the entire thing a bit choppy and really takes away from the animation itself. Heightening your frame rate could do a lot for this short, particularly making it more fluid, something that truly helps in action scenes. It could also stand to be a bit longer, but that's a minor complaint.

You've got a good start here! The graphics work really well with the song and the lip synching is very good, just finish it up!

"Ugh"

submission: Hey There Sexy Boy

This was just a lazy entry. There is little here in the way of entertainment. For some reason people seem to think that a person who is offended will laugh simply because they're offended. Unfortunately, this is untrue unless if there is a joke somewhere in there. This short has a joke (not a particularly well executed one, but one nonetheless) that should have ended with its punchline (awkward was the punchline in case you didn't realize).

The short is mildly entertaining until the end, which is really just some strange fantasy. I don't know what you find funny about group sex, but there was no joke in there. It was more of an attempt to offend than a joke.

Also, animation requires time and effort. Little looks like it was put in here. Things barely move. Try some inbetweening, it makes things look better.

This short need focus. If you focused on your joke and deliver on it, things would be fine. However, the childish animation and lousy humor doom this piece. Next time, put some more effort into the animation and try to come up with a joke, like an actual joke.
