My apologies for posting the same topic twice; I realized that I originally posted this in the wrong board. I've deleted the old one.

Hey everybody, I've been uploading shorts every two weeks since January (this playlist is missing one because one of my posts was put in another). I want to improve the quality of my videos, so I just wanted to probe your minds and see if you have some ideas. I'll really appreciate any advice from the experts here, as well as any suggestions on books to read about animation, writing, or audio or voice acting. Thank you all so much!

What specifically are you looking to improve about these? They're great!

Well written, well acted, and genuinely funny. Not-a-one over 2 minutes long, most under 1 minute - perfect! The animation style is fun to watch and you even manage to work in a bit of characterization in each video.

The music in the sweet tooth one was chillingly the same as the infamous Scabies Babies, but we'll let that slide thanks to the excellent singing in the movie theater one. These are really wonderful!

The only thing I found was on the leprechaun physics episode, where the leprechaun makes the guys' net disappear, it's a little slow.

But that is a small nitpick. I agree with Danimal, these are great. You've got a style that translates well across the whole series, and they're all really well done, and got a chuckle, too.

Wow guys, that's incredibly nice of you all! I honestly didn't expect this kind of praise.

I often feel like my characters don't move like they have real weight to them, so I'm looking to improve that some. Also, I feel like the a audio sometimes comes out sounding kind of...hollow, I guess? I record in a closet, and I'm trying to cover that up a little. I'm also running of of voices to use, so I'm looking for resources to help train my voice some.

I don't know what Scabies Babies is.

But seriously, thank you!

Awesome, very good work!

Very nicely done,

I'm still clapping

Watched them all. Very enjoyable with perfect pacing. I agree with you on some of the weightlessness issue here and there, but it's very minor, and with your ability to use the software you should be able to work out the timing of the speed/layer/distance of the moving characters.

Look forward to more.

Congrats on you work.

Not voices, characters. And here's some of the best training there is:

Thanks for the recommendation! I have one of his CDs already, but honestly didn't know he had others. I'll have to get some of those once I've saved up a bit.

Thanks again to everyone for their feedback and encouragement!
