Another short sketch I made with Anime Studio. It didn't come out as funny as I hoped but still good practice.

Actually, I think it came out quite funny. I like the whole concept of the trainer's irresponsibility pushing the guy beyond his reasonable limit, then telling the guy it was his fault for being so irresponsible. I also like the extreme hyperbole and sarcasm at the end and enjoy the fact that it wasn't excessively violent. I was expecting the guy's head to get smashed by the massive weight but was pleased when he simply fell through the floor (and survived the ridiculous punishment). Many animators nowadays enjoy making the bloodiest, most gruesome things they can... and that's certainly okay for them. I prefer the innocent, fun, entertaining ones - like yours. I don't like to get a gross or dark feeling when watching a short film.

I thought it was funny, especially the elephant. Didn't see that coming. I also really liked your 'Hulk greenscreen' bit.

Thanks for the feedback, after working on something for so long it's hard to know if it's funny by the end so thanks for letting me know you liked it.

Yeah I wanted to keep the animation family friendly, there were moments I could have put swear words in too, that would have got more laughs on the internet but I decided against it.
