[Grow (Animated Short) - Trailer]

I love how you guys do so much with so little. Gorgeous style!

[A Visit to Boot Hill]

You have a really cool style. I love the shifting textures.

I was a little bothered by the recording quality of the voices. I think the actors did a fine job, but there's a bit of a room echo that I found distracting. I would suggest building a little reflection shield. You can get really fancy if you want, but even a cardboard box with some foam or fabric in it would help quite a bit. Put the microphone in the box when you're recording and it will help kill some of the slapback reverberation and general room sound.

That said, this was really pretty! I'm adding you to my favorites!

You know, if you look at my old animations you'll see i have always had an issue with poor audio quality. I only have my apple laptop and garage band to record so i always get an echo.

That being said, in all the comments I have received over the years concerning my poor audio, NEVER once did someone actually give me constructive feedback to fix the issue without having to pay hundreds in new equipment. I will try your suggestion. Thanks a lot.

[depressing stories]

cool idea!

[Waiting for a Train]

This is absolutely gorgeous.

[Roomies: Holes]

I thought it was pretty good! There were some issues with audio clipping when things got loud. I'd try doing some of the screaming ahead of time to set the levels and record at a lower volume. You can normalize and compress the audio later to bring the volume of the quieter parts up so everything is audible and you avoid distortion.

Well done! The animation was incredibly smooth, camera work helped keep the story moving along during dialogue scenes, and the story was fun. I really have no critiques.

[Arc Infinitum 1]

it looked good. So stylistic. One of the things that bothered me was the lip syncing. the faces didn't move much in general. That said, the voice actors were really good and you have really good story telling abilities. I look forward to seeing subsequent updates to this series!

[Shaun and Terry]

I didn't get it at first until I read the Author Comments. Beautiful idea, but hard to understand the context in such a short animation. I think the idea is great, though. I really want to see more of these. The characters are gorgeously rendered.

ThatGoatface responds:

Thanks man :) and yeah, perfectly understand how it's hard to see the context, originally I thought of doing a much longer animation, joining up their escapades together, I just wasn't too confident how it would turn out. Although now I see people like the idea I might definitely make some more in the future :)

[Nutty love]

I love the style on this!!! I can't wait to see what's next.
