[Final Cut]

wow, i'm impressed

Your sense of timing is really great. And as for your teachers, I suspect they're not as clueless as you think and actually have a sense of humor about the whole thing and can appreciate where you're coming from. School's no picnic for them either.

The only thing I'd suggest to improve is taking out some of the sound effects. The one that stood out the most was the slapping sequence towards the end during one of the fights. So many other hits didn't register but those did? You should have left them out and let the animation do the talking.

But really excellent. I'm really impressed.

Ukinojoe responds:

Wow glad you liked it! Thanks bob!

[The Creation of High Art]

when i was a freshman...

In college we were all given an English assignment where we were instructed to look at particular pieces in the Philadelphia Art Museum and write our opinions about them. I took two copies of the assignment and on one I labeled "What people want me to say" and on the other "What I really think". I proceeded to fill them out, and it was a lot of fun.

As I went through the museum I was amazed to find out that while I really hated Impressionist paintings and fat ladies lounging around next to blurry lakes, modern art pleases me. (Though not that hack Marcel Duchamp, what a fucking tool.) Sure, some people claim to be able to do it themselves, but I'm absolutely smitten with a lot of it, both famous works and amateur stuff.

Anyway, it's no surprise that since the assignment was really about critical thinking that I got an A (teachers loved me), but it really opened my eyes to art. I found that I could really see why some people *used* to like certain pieces of art, and that it really has progressed through some amazing eras. People should analyze them all and pick some artists with technique they admire as well as product that pleases their eye. And yes, there is a LOT of bullshit out there. Trust me, there was never a time when fat chicks were considered paint-worthy -- that's a goddamn myth right there.

[Mastermind 3]

OMG the voices are shit!

My tech1 voice sounds so hideous to my hears! Oh noes!

One serious critique, however: the audio quality for the techs is the same when they are heard from afar and up close. Probably wouldn't even noticed except for the fact that I'm DISSECTING MY VOICE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

(Also, you totally need a special link in the movie to loop those two techs talking. I see a real need for that.)

The-Swain responds:

Actually I considered it but turned it down, mostly because of the minions at the end and their conversations with the Mastermind via communication devices. There would have been a lot of voice quality switching with every camera change, and that came off as very disorienting. So I kinda went with no differences in any voice no matter the situation, excluding the traditional echoey Mastermind intro. Consistency first! Hurray!

[The Clog]

awesome

Very unexpected twists, cute characters and funny sounds. Really clever.
