A punk and an artist walk into a squat...

Post by CyberFilth »

This scene is the longest one that I've ever animated, all 4 minutes and 30 seconds of it.

Like most of the things that I do, it's dialogue-heavy, but I've tried a few things here that I've never done before. Including frame-by-frame animation.
The humour isn't for everyone (and be warned that there is swearing), but I would appreciate some feedback. Both good and bad.

It's a little too adult/dirty humor for me, but it is extremely well paced and hits the punch line for it's jokes. Overall nice editing. I agree that the lip syncing is a bit off but my lip syncing would be way more off. Everything else was smooth.

Thanks for the feedback.

What do you think needs improving with the lip sync?
Is it the mouth shapes used, or are they not hitting the dialogue beats correctly?

I am not sure how to improve. As I said my lip sync would be way off. I am just opting for the anime dub style on my works, which is a nice way of saying that I don't know how to do any better than having the mouth open and close randomly.

Overall I think the humorous pacing you created out ways any small negative. It's one small drop of black paint in an entire five gallon bucket of white.

In that case, thanks.
I can live with that.

I smile when I realized yesterday night that you used one of the same actors I did in your other piece. I was curious to what type of other content you have made. Furthermore yours was actually the audio clip on fivver, that made me think that yes this actor would do great for my concept trailer. She is great at reading very difficult lines, flawlessly and adding emotional undertones. I was looking for someone who could deliver a very feminine voice without the annoying high pitch. She is a good actor.

No way! Katherine?
Small world.

Yes she was really easy to work with, and I almost wish that I had a bigger part for her so that I could use her voice again.
I usually get voice actors from the r/RecordThisForFree subreddit, that was the first time that I used Fiverr and it really worked out.

Yeap Katherine, she is talented and she went out of her zone to work on my project. Honestly I hope one of my friends will write a complete script for the show in the next year so I can use her for my complete series. I used her voice in my concept trailer and was impressed by her high quality delivery. Her voice was very smooth and my dialog was wordy. That series is in its early stages and some things may change by the time of its official release but I really want to keep her as the main character.

But more shocking still was it was your dialogue example that had me really wanting her to work on my project. It definitely is a small world. :D
