Very funny. Great song. Fun characters. I really liked your direction, but I would like to see the character animation boosted another notch or two.

Make more soon,

Alan

Thanks Alan...for taking the time to leave a message...Glad you had a few laughs...And yes I agree the Animation needs some boosting...Still struggling with the MOHO BONES stuff....but I'm learning from looking at some of the Great Animation that members show in this Forum....Thanks for the review and All the Best..............JOHN HOY.

ARRGH! I hate Windows Media Player with a passion!! It kept "buffering" ever 2 seconds and I couldn't watch the whole way through.

Any way you could make a Quicktime version or upload it to YouTube?

Hi JAMES...sorry you had a problem with watching the video...all the different formats are a real pain....the big problem I have is with QUICK TIME...I use WINDOWS MILLENIUM edition and QUICK TIME won't work with it....between different FORMATS and different COMPRESSION systems can make Animating Cartoon Videos a real problem....What I would really like to do is format everything to FLASH...but all the CONVERSION FLASH programs CRASH on me. If anyone has any suggestions I would REALLY APPRECIATE it....Thanks for your comments JAMES....and Keep up YOUR GOOD WORK.................JOHN HOY.

Good job Hoyboys!

I know it's a lot of work, but I agree with the other poster who says that he'd like to see more character animation in the piece. I mean a few extra change of facial expressions here and there would take this piece from "really good" to "hey, you gotta see this."

Loved the art work, the textures, and the explosion. The song was great, and the jokes just kept coming! I also liked the shadow matte across the top and bottom of the screen.

Good job - I laughed... and God, I needed it today.

Thats great!

Very funny, lots of jokes and the song's good too!

We use quick time pro to compress our material. The h264 compressor is truley stunning. You can achieve perfect results at very low file sizes.

Keep up the good work.
