P.S.
Mr. Blaaa, Trevor, and Dan. I have not forgotten you! You are still scheduled to animate!

Hey lookin good.
I was anxious to see what the characters would be like after you wet our appetite with a couple of pictures from Death From Above.

I really like it! Good Stuff
Im a real procrastinator and I hate that, but watching your toons makes me inspired.

Could you please tell me how you do your mouths for lip synching?
Are they on a separate layer than the head?, in a switch layer or just animated by hand?

Thanks in advance

They're animated by hand with the sound imported into Moho.

Spooze and crew:

I must say, that you are moving along quite nicely.

I'm anxious to see the creature itself, and the suspense is building. I want to see what those "thumbtack" looking things are that keep killing people. I also saw a short test you did of the creature, so I'm anxious to see it in action too.

As things keep getting better, the number of criticisms I have keep going down. First, I'm really glad that the annoying voice of Bob is gone! Finally!!!! Secondly, I think the pace needs to be picked up a bit - the editing a bit tighter. The animation is getting better and better, i.e. the walk cycle of the 2nd construction worker.

Keep it coming!

Way to go Spooze!! I can see you're improving greatly. Its a big-leap from LBs Time Machine, well done.

Only critiscism is this: Make the credits shorter, in regards time. 30sec should be enough for 3-4min piece.

Keep Up the Good Work 'Fella.

You'll get to see it in part 2

First, I'm really glad that the annoying voice of Bob is gone! Finally!!!!

lol unfortunantly for you I'm gonna make plenty more Lucky Bob cartoons. I'm thinking of even making a sequel to "Time Machine". It's gonna be better than the first though. I'm gonna try and make it funnier.

Secondly, I think the pace needs to be picked up a bit - the editing a bit tighter.

Ya, I'm gonna work on that.

The animation is getting better and better, i.e. the walk cycle of the 2nd construction worker.

That's gonna be the only credits sequence for the whole movie until the last part. All the parts eventually are gonna be combined into 1 file so those credits will be short compared to the animation portion of the movie.
