Well I've been trying my hand at something new recently by attempting to make a "cartoon".
I use the word loosely as the animation is very simplistic, however my aim was to use a system that allows me to quickly generate scenery and characters.

I wanted to make an episode with the possibility of becoming a series, so my cartoon features a fellow trying his hand at various career paths with disastrous consequences.

The video does have blood in it, but that is down to the theme of this particular episode.

I would like your general opinion on the video, namely, would you watch another episode if one existed, did you find it funny at all or did you find it total rubbish ?

The link is below, Cheers!

he was too... stupid. You can already tell whats going to happen, though. Youi could try to make some unexpected turn of events, something not as predictable. anyway, other than that, it was alright.

It's a good platform. There are thousands of possibilities for comedy scenarios when he's looking for new jobs. The 'animation' is good enough if the thing is funny, but this one wasn't really. I will be honest and say I didn't crack a smile.

I would say, the script is by far the most important thing, so put more time and effort into that (coming up with a few key jokes, even if you have to thieve them from elsewhere), and then it'll make all the other work worth while. Otherwise you spend hours making something that never had a chance.

It was okay. I enjoyed it, somewhat. I think you should get multiple voices instead of just your own. And if you had more than one person doing voices, then you all sound very much alike.

But yeah, nice work anyways. You just gotta get a good grip on the jokes and it'll be awesomeness.

Sometimes reading posts from Zeus or I will bring gut-wrenching laughter, drenched pants, and a full load of underwear.

I thought it was good, but you need to make it a bit more unexpected I could guess from the title alone the entire plot!

Some "Airplane" type jokes would make it alot funnier, and could be easily done in this sort of thing. (Ever seen the film?)
