[OH MY GOD - PART II]

Was wondering if it would end so abruptly as the minutes closed in, but looks like... there's more to come? :D Seems like a massive project! And with so much detail too. The journey through hell was the most impeccable part yet, with the roots, the giants, the gore and fire and all... then when they started going up the stairs everything seemed so simple, but you fit in a joke about that too. :)

Love the unexpected turns this is taking, the comedy's gold but the visuals that go along with it: really something else! I'd say eight months of hard work really paid off! Hope and look forward to whatever's yet to come!

OblitusCS responds:

Yes there is more to come! The 2 parts you've seen are actually PART 1, I had to split it in 2 because the file was to big to upload all at ones here on NG. The adventure will continue with God and the Devil going to Olympus and visiting the ancient greek Gods, sadly I haven't started doing it yet, there are a few other animations I want to do before going into that one, but I'll definetly continue their story.
Hell is my personal favorite part, I had a lot of fun doing it, originally there was going to be a lot more going on, I had some cool ideas with God interacting with that world, they were also supposed to run into famous bad people like Hitler but I decided not to take it there, that is why it feels a little rushed.
To conclude, thanks again for sharing your thoughts with me, I know it sounds cliche but it really means a lot, I will keep doing this no matter what, but a pat in the back one's in a while gives me the strengh to keep going.
I'll see you in the next one. Best of luck with everything my friend!

[OH MY GOD - PART I]

Oh man, this was awesome! XD Love their personalities! And that you didn't stress the pace either, nor the details. The way the sun rays play behind the pillars, and the heavenly kingdom is presented, and God sitting in the bathroom... all of it feels polished to the point of perfection! Jesus Christ made an entertaining cameo too, and the story, that there needs to be a balance between the two worlds, it makes for a pretty epic tale to back up the comedy! About to head over to the second part soon and see how it fares there, though considering how much backstory there is it feels strange it'd be possible to end properly with just two parts...

As for the'defects' you mention: I don't think the pacing is bad at all, I feel like it lets you really savor the details, and the journey, though I do agree about the voice acting. If not else it feels like it'd add a lot with some characters voiced by someone else, so you can really differentiate between them, but at least having both God/the Devil voiced by the same guy, just with the same tone, that works perfectly. :)

Awesome work so far; onto the next!

OblitusCS responds:

Hey!!! good to hear from you!!! I can't thank you enough for this, I was hoping for at least one person to appreciate all the work I put into this and here you are.
I had some doubt with the pacing because it doesn't fit the way most people do animations now, which is short, fast and straight to the point. With this one you have to relax, pay attention and get yourself inmerse in the world, I know most people won't do that but I'm glad that you did.
As for the voice acting, although I feel like now I'm getting better with it, I'll definetly use other voice actors in the future, anything to improve the overall watching experience.
Thanks again man, I'm checking your opinion on part 2 now, see you there.

[Purgatory Dreams - Theatre of Shadows]

Now that was pretty creepy! I remember the pixel nightmares of previous years, and this duology (?) seems to follow suit! Love how the atmosphere just builds and builds, with pixel perfect artwork and 9 bit music in back. A masterful, macabre, game-like nightmare (imagine if it was in Flash too, all those interactive elements could really be interactive) that leaves you feeling pretty... hollow! Usually when it gets too visual the nightmare element seems to leave, but somehow these are all an exception to that rule, maybe it's how there's always an element of the unknown remaining, you never truly go through the door and figure everything out, and the hopelessness keeps creeping in. Awesome work!

ClockworkPixel responds:

thank you very much :) I'm very proud of this one and hope the next entry only improves!

[Good Morning Shut Up with Jimmy Pee! 11-13-17]

Pretty good one this time, interesting tid-bits of the know! Wonder if that alien's been a frequent cameo all along btw, and I just happened to start watching this in the one episode he didn't appear, or if it's a new thing with all these recent ones? Appreciated eerie break and entertaining three tings! Good stuff.

-cd-

threebrain responds:

haha thanks! This one had some mistakes cause I made it in my car. Was on a road trip. Yeah I want the alien to get up in there more. Maybe do some alien news :-O

[Animatic Segment, Soldier and Gas mask scene]

It was shorter than I expected, but not bad! Well-animated. Atmospheric. Reminds me of Gone with the Blastwave, and Metro 2033, and all of these franchises that seem to make the gas mask their image. Good stuff.

EvanClifford responds:

thanks :) yeah its just my cut from a 2 minute short , was orginally 20 seconds long for better dramatic effect but my team wanted 7 to 8 seconds so had to make a more jaring and abrubt style of editing unfortunately, but couldnt really argue because of the brief for the project is 2 minutes. will probably upload the full short animatic once it is done, however i will have to re-edit it myself because there will be copyright music used. our animatic is part of a uni coursework project and we are being marked on our contribution to the team

[/v/rage 2017 remake.]

The 4chan and meme references are partially lost on me, but that fight... holy shit man! So awesome. So smooth. So creatively crazy and collectively chaotic. It just gets better and better and better until post-apocalyptic proportions are reached!!! Awesome work!

Adding in the comparison at the end was a cool choice too, though their not being entirely synced makes it a bit hard to compare them side by side, might have been better to just include the old animation, in full format? Since the new is already fresh in memory.

Anyway, amazing work! Can't wait to see what your skills will be like in another ten years. ;)

NCH responds:

its not sync cause the timing of the original does not fit to my new animation technics, after I start to learn how to pace-out my animation and giving some breathing/hang time on my frames, thats why they don't sync up with each other in the comparison video.

[Good Morning Shut Up with Jimmy Pee! 11-10-17]

Feels a bit reminiscent of yesterday, this one. :) Nother good alien cameo and dose of news!

-cd-

threebrain responds:

Yeah I am thinking about having Shing Fla co-host and have more wacky stuff haha. Just gotta' figure out how.

[Hooked]

Up until the end I really liked how the atmosphere kept building, and getting scarier and scarier... but when the monsters appear part of that atmosphere dies down. When the unknown becomes visual... it's just not unknown. I hoped it would end with something not all too revealing and keep that vibe, but though it's a nice twist after that I think the monsters ruined it a bit, overall though very well-made! Sound is top quality too.

Thanks!

[Good Morning Shut Up with Jimmy Pee! 11/09/17]

Another good one! Alien cameo was an entertaining little tidbit, well-animated, though the overall topics didn't seem to have so much with news and knowledge this time as with sports! As for those sound effects, maybe Sound Dogs would be worth checking out? They have a LOT. Keep up the good work!

threebrain responds:

Tanks! I will check them out. Haha yeah slow news day, but tomorrow holy smokes!
