[Skittles N' Bitz 9]

Rather good conclusion

-Nicely done on this 9th episode in the series, though i probably wouldnt say this is the best one so far, my favourite so far was number 7. This one would be right below #7 i think. Anyways i rather enjoyed this, it did everything the Skittles N Bitz series is known for and more specifically those things are the awesome sprite visuals, creative presentations and you cant forget the humour which just may be the one "big" thing in the series. Anyways here is my review.

-Nice work on the visuals overall, your sprite work as always been solid in each of your movies that i have seen. The sprites themselves are usually well chosen for the situation as well as being fairly unusual and unique ones too. The backgrounds are always appropriate for the situation as well, or at least most of the time. The animation is usually pretty key in sprite animation, and you do it well, especially when you add to the jokes by making funny movements with the sprite characters. The style of this particular installment was better than the average of the series. Of course there wasnt much different in terms of style compared to other ones either, but the skits in this were a little more random in a way, and i found they were generally pretty funny because of the randomness, for example the fisherman one with the walrus. The sound was great too, many different songs, all used nicely. The sound effects were great too, often added a little bit of extra humour, and the voice acting was awesome too.

-Overall this was a funny movie, and a splendid skittles N Bitz episode, fans of the series thus far will surely love it. I hope as this series continues the humour keeps getting better along with the rest of your skills, anyways i dont have doubts for future ones. Just keep up the great work!

Good start

Well. There goes my sanity. Very original. I seem to love this sprite stuff, because, it's like an inside joke I understand. Only...The thing is...Probably millions of you understand what's going on here. A new interesting style. Keep making these, alright? Don't let me down! Don't let me down boy! Or. I'll do something really horrible. Like. Um. Hmm...What is it I can do...Oh! I can make you watch Final Fantasy the Spirits Within! No. No I can't. I'm not a savage.

[Link's Barrel Beat]

Great

As I watched it the first time, I laughed a bit and I even laughed the second time, but what interested me the most was the fact that when Tingle popped into this little jam, a fourth head started to rise. This head was purple, so I thought it was a fourth Link to join in on the wrap, but then the Green Link pushed it back down, so it makes me wonder if this leads to an Easter egg or something of the nature. Again good loop that even changed for several times through. I expect to see it on the first page for awhile.

[Paper Chase]

Excellent

-Excellent short man, I know first hand how hard it is to make a short story. But it had a clear beginning, middle, and end. Also your animation and directing was great.

-The feeling that it's 'too short' can be coming from the feeling that the ride you're taking us on in this story is wrapped over before it's begun. I believe that perhaps if there was a bit more conflict in your act 2 it would leave the viewer wanting more instead.

-Perhaps you could have the paper change hands at a faster pace, and each time have the action escalate to emphasize the journey, or have it change hands only once so you could spend your time in the story building up a dramatic act 2.

[War, Snow and Fire]

I learned something.

-After watching this movie, I've realized the lesson behind it. We must not all become power hungry when we see power that is waiting to be grabbed. All living things have a heart, and we do not have the right to take his\her right to be alive, rights to live their life to the fullest, and the rights we all have...freedom of choice.

-This may sound off topic a bit, but lets say for example, like I've said above, power. Lets look at nuclear missiles. Why use them as weapons when we can devote our scientific research for the greater good of mankind and harness the power of nuclear weapons, and convert them into energy that we can all use in our every day lives

[YGOAbridged Leather Pants]

Too long

This was way too long for what it was. By the end of the song the concept had stopped being funny and I actually didn't make it through the whole thing until LK posted it to youtube and I could just get up to the point where I left off, as making it through this whole thing is definitely a test of endurance. Even there I actually started to skip the main verse because it got repetitive. A parody of Lady Gaga is nowhere near funny or original enough to keep 7 minutes of content interesting. Plus this was really gay. like not "gay" as in bad , I mean literally gay. Gay can be funny if played a certain way but here it was just scantily clad dudes which just ended up being awkward.

[Killer Cirkel!]

Good try

-It's much better than my first video that I submitted here. You at least had some patience involved with making something that was longer than fifteen seconds. You used some interesting enemies in there too.

-The concept isn't very original in that it's just a little fight scene on one background that never changes. If at all possible make a more detailed background in future works that the action moves around and even use many different background areas if you make something larger than the space you use for the picture.

-The main character was thankfully not a poorly drawn stick person but it was a poorly drawn circle thing that could of at least used some floating hands. How exactly does he shoot a gun or hold a sword from his side? The enemies were mostly similar to this except for a few exceptions like the magician and the dragon thing that had a bit more detail. Try making most of the characters used like that.

-Everything wasn't exactly that fluid. It was choppy and slow and items just seemed to float at the same speed without taking into account weight or how it would actually react if done in real life. Again the background was the same with the main character moving around it. Try to have the background change some so it doesn't get bland.

-The sound was a lot higher quality than the rest of the work. It's the main thing that stands out. I'm not sure if you made the sounds or if you took them from somewhere and added them to the animation but good job nonetheless in that department.

-Overall it was a good start to animating for you and I hope you take some time to learn a few things and take even more time before you submit anything else. Effort really shows when you have something that looks really crisp and clean.
