2 - The Story of Khale

"Glad it's finally catching on."

date: May 31, 2008

It may sound strange, but your suffering is my pleasure.

I love watching movies with long, uncut camera shots, knowing it probably took them an entire day of shooting just to get the shot right, because if one person screws up then the entire shot needs to be done again...but then what you see in the film is the fruit of all that labor. Taking that as an example, actually seeing the effort that your characters and settings resonate...it's really an experience. Independent animators are constantly in competition between the benefits of time spent to increase quality versus the risk of dragging a project on too long without adding anything fundamentaly worthwhile via that effort.

But seeing effort pay off. that's where I get the most fun out of someone's work. I really do look forward to more success from you.

Salute!

Tank Epic

"Huazzh"

submission: Tank Epic

This deserves a place in the Tankmen series page, and with it a place in the hall of legendary fan films.

Content-wise I'd complain about it not being a comedy, but I liked how you kinda fill in the blanks on the setting of the series itself, with your take on the combat that has defined the world in which the Tankmen effort to be funny. I'm sure that's an element of the series that many people have been wondering about, and your suggestion makes for great entertainment indeed.

For that sir, I thank you. Good luck!

Tankmen Infinity

"Impressed"

submission: Tankmen Infinity
date: April 30, 2008

The idea of a self-contained fan episode is an awesome idea. Although there was a lot of deviation from JohnnyUtah's style, there were a lot of unique additions to keep this thing interesting...for me, it was namely the pseudo 3d, which lent a lot of uniqueness to the characters. I especially liked the loyalty to the voice styles of the original characters, and the dramatic angles had me pretty jealous some of the time :D

Some of the jokes weren't my flavor, though I liked most of the humor. And your timing was spot-on.

Good luck in the competition! I'll cross my fingers for ya.

Shoulda Brought a Parachute

"Bravo"

date: May 7, 2008

Liked this song from the first time I heard it. Proud to have done the character voices that appeared on top of it for Pico Blast ;)

For some reason the background high notes sound best to me at 0:37. But when the main melody comes in at 0:25, that's the real payoff.

Secret Mission

"Hurray"

submission: Secret Mission
date: October 28, 2007

Kinda reminds me of True Lies, I don't even know why (at least until the guitar).

I was looking for a menacing evil song when I found this...not what I wanted for my project, but I still liked it, so I thought I'd leave a review saying so :)

Something in the Sound

"Like a street song."

date: October 27, 2007

Heavy on the pads, but it was a good listen!

I loved the beat break at 1:26.
