Horribly fast paced.

The way this whole thing was storyboarded baffles me. I see how you tried to imitate the actual "Looney Tunes" description from there but you failed very badly. Instead of actually setting the mood with overexaggerated movements on SOME scenes, you abused it and added it to about every single scene there is on there. Now, I've those "Looney Tunes" episodes before, and they do NOT exxgerate all of their movements.

The art from the actual body animation makes the overall work horrible. If you plan to actually try to draw at 0-39 smoothness or less, zoom in to at least 400% percent. Because you haven't even decided to go to that route, the animation is all edgy and rough, with barely any signs of inbetweening everywhere.

Audiowise, the music choice wasn't even fitting. Try experimenting with actual Cartoon-Christmas sounds before choosing your final audio. Doing this manages to set a nice mood for the animation and does not half-ruin the whole thing, like this submission.

1/10, 0/0.

Not as good as you said it was.

First of all, the voice acting = terrible. If you really wanted to represent someone in the news, you really shouldn't try getting someone with a croaked voice to do it. It really ruins that 'news' mood.

The plot was not understandable at all. Not only that it was short, but it was more "Badly Scripted" than "random". If you really wanted him to have a future-meets-present situation, you could have had the lights dimmed or something that shows that he's have a magical moment or some kind of important face to face moment. Then it wouldn't be all "WTF" when that portal just re appears with his future self.

Now, for the part when the future self speaks to the indie developer, you should try making it more clear when he's going to sell out to the market. Adding a random jet pack to the plot of the story and then quickly disappearing can be very confusing to some of the viewers, try to make your point with what he's saying instead of him rushing through it.

Animation was very rusty besides the animation of the U.S. dollar coming out of the indie developer's future self. Try something like easing or making the movement the head more real instead of it being all stiff. The linework was mild, you could try smoothing out those animation jaggys to make it look better.

Script: 0/10
Voice Acting:010
Animation:1/10
Lineart:2/10

Best flash of 2010.

I sincerely loved this animation, even though it had a hint of spam, you've outdone yourself this time lepy. Even though this took 4 months or more, I actually like the finished product.

What I liked the most about it was the frame by frame. You're the only person I know that manages to animate by 2's and still make it look good and eased.

The audio was a tad annoying but I get the theme.

Cons: Ryan Queen's (Mr.Fizzy) voice. He somehow ruined the whole thing for me.

Thanks, man.
