My first stab at animation using Anime Studio Pro (or any animation program). A short comedy about layoffs.

Cool. I'm sure most people won't relate to it ... but I do because I am unemployed. Joy!

Love the bit about the health insurance. But one can't talk about *that.* Especially if you live in America. It's against the rules.

I don't know if you had a fun time making the animation but it really shows through that you did. I really enjoy animations that have "soul."

thanks -- it was fun to make, though it certainly took a lot of painstaking work too...especially creating the characters in a way that they'd animate smoothly

Nice work. Writing, voice-acting, and pacing were all good. I really liked the noodle-arms. Character design was good given the simplistic drawing style you used.

Comedic timing could perhaps have been improved a bit, but I know you were deliberately going for a very sedately-paced style reminiscent of a promotional video. Art and surface also could have been better, but it wasn't a deal-breaker at all.

areyouguystwins: You're kidding, right? In this economy? I give us a month before unemployment goes mainstream.

Cool, thanks much.

Yeah, I tried to keep the characters (and, well, everything) pretty simple. I wanted to concentrate on the writing and the comedy and such, rather than go for flashy animation.

Great script sirjer1, the real gold is in that script.

Thanks, Chucky (delayed reaction, I realize). I'm actually making this into web series. Should have the first of the new episodes up online in a couple days.
