One of the best Pico submissions I've seen so far.
Both of you, Toonimated and Swain, have always been quite talented at laying out a story, even in your randomness.
The animation and art, oh how I loved them. You both did well. Pacing was a little iffy. Character art wasn't as consistent as usual for you, but overall very polished.
Loved it.
Happy Pico Day.
The slowest moment in the 'toon, aside from the intro and conclusion, is probably when Pico first arrives at the pirate ship. He's not fighting them off tooth and nail as he falls from the sky, but 3 minutes and 40 seconds of animating straight action is so taxing on our need to be "storytellers" that we had to slip a modicum of character development in there :) Naturally, this is out of place in an action cartoon, but hey, what can ya do?
And I'm sure you'll forgive us on the changing nature of Pico's artwork. We didn't animate the whole thing in chronological order, and as this is the first time either of us has animated this character, improvements and mistakes were to be expected over time.
Also, large investments in software come after we make the money to buy it, not before :)
Thanks for another review, ST :D I must now go and review today's other Pico submissions too.
AWESOME!!!
It was cool!
Meh. That was cool.
This is cool, but the gunshots were crap. And the pirates were crap either. But this is cool. Pico even kissed Nene! (I farted at that part) That's all.
Bad News: Mike Swain is gonna be away for two weeks. So he can't work on Blockhead 9 for a while.
Almost
