Well done, even if "unfinished"
Excellent work - it reminded me of A-Ha's "Take On Me" video with its storyboard style. Far more satisfying than 95% of the "finished" products posted to Newgrounds these days.
Bravo.
Reviews for "Shave Tonight"
Awsome song, crappy movie
This movie looks extremly lazy,
I mean no color, and sloppy pictures, Style? prehaps, but it also takes 1/100th of the time and effort, very very slow, choppy animation, the actualy people were drawn decently enough, but overall the movie itself was pretty crappy.
The song however is great, sounds very professional, im not sure if you studio'd your voice or not but it was well.
So good work and bad work.
Dustball responds:
Thanks. The video that this is parodying is black and white, so that's why this is. Since you obviously didn't read this yet, I'll repeat it: this is just an animated storyboard ("animatic") that I made for another animator. That's why there isn't any actualy animation (aside from the mouths, which I just added) I would certainly not say it takes 1/100th of the time and effort, I worked very hard on long on this. And I did all of the recording (music and vocals) myself without a studio.
HA
my woman is always wanting me to shave. and i hate shaving. made me laugh, do some more
hair!!!
a flash about shaving? not too bad but i think the guy didnt have any legs at the beginning, but its ok.
Shave me from this boredom!
Hmm, you submitting this is a bit of a waste of time, finish it yourself or find another animator. It simply wasn't enetertaining to view for me. The song was lame too i'm not a fan of poorly done spoofs. If i was you i'd stick to doing the soundtracks for soem quality animators, we all know you're brilliant at that.
ps, i dont think it would have made a particularly good video anyway, theres not enough action and variety, nobody wants to watcha face with the lips moving!
Dustball responds:
It's odd that you said "nobody wants to watcha face with the lips moving" when refering the song not an interesting enough subject for a video, when it's obvious that the stiff faces with animated mouths is a product of this being a storyboard that I later added mouths to. You already said you didn't like it, so that's fine, but I thought all of the scenarios made a perfectly intersting video. The mouths would have nothing to do with that either way. I'm glad you like my other music... and I'm not saying my music is always perfect or something, but honestly what was "poorly done" about the song? Heck, most people do parodies by simply singing over a karoake CD, but I though mine turned out pretty good considering I recorded it all from scratch!
