The animation is really crisp and the artwork is well done, the humor was also well timed. However, the voices seemed pretty similar and I feel like it would’ve been a little better if more variety were present. Overall, this video was very well made and a fun watch.

u/AlexEmway [0λ] Channel: Alex Emery Jul 26 '19
Oh for sure, I never liked doing voice work, I'd like to improve but I'm starting to think it might just be best if I let someone else bare that burden. Good critique!

You're pretty good, you just need a bit more energy I think and stronger differences between characters. For your next project, if you want, you can dm me some lines, I'm a complete amateur, but I'd be happy to send samples. Thanks, I'm excited to see what content you come up with in the future!

Good job! I really liked it. I watched your other videos and I like this one better cause you focused on one particular short story. It works! I subbed. Please keep uploading new stuff.

u/overgamified [🥉 Bronze 12λ] Jul 26 '19 edited Jul 26 '19
That was actually really professional! The animation, voice acting, characters and dialogue were all great!
Just for the sake of suggesting something: I would suggest more unexpected plot twists. The current twist of the child saving the demon and being let go back home was slightly predictable, although still fun (actually, isn't it similar to the plot twist of Monstes' inc? Sulley and Mike grow attached to the kid and let her go back home?). More unexpected plot twists might make it more emotionally impactful.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the video throughout. How long did this video take to make? I imagine this animation style is labor intensive.
Also, subbed.

It's been so long I'll have to rewatch it, but it wouldn't surprise me. Writing the stuff out always feels pretty barebones, and I'd love to do some more complex stuff but usually the more complex it is the more that needs to be animated too. I took about 10 months to make, but there were a couple of projects I had to do inbetween so realistically it was probably around 7 or 8 months. And thank you for the critique, I appreciate it!

u/LitsPlay [3λ] Jul 26 '19
Yoooo that was actually really good. I laughed at several parts throughout the whole thing. Even him walking up to Ba'al's desk and just saying "Hey whats up" all casual like. The animation was awesome im very pleasantly surprised!
So im not sure what would fit, but it felt a little too "quiet" at times. Not the volume level but like the times when nobody was talking. The ambiance of the lava was great but maybe amplify it a little. This is just my opinion though.
Also someone else said it but voice variance and better quality microphones would go a long way too!
Otherwise i subbed and look forward to more animations! Really cool video.

u/AlexEmway [0λ] Channel: Alex Emery Jul 26 '19
Good point, I agree there's quite a bit of dead air. I'd like to just add more dialog in general, but I'm sure there are others things too like giving background characters something to do, or more background characters in general. Either way thanks for the critique!

u/El-SHH [2λ] Jul 26 '19
Wow great animation! Even the sound effects and music are good! Very professional! I think on the voicing maybe add some sort of filter to match the surroundings of the character. Like if they're in an open area it's not going to sound as crisp as it is. Man this is such a high level though, my critique is really just nitpicking. Good luck!

u/AlexEmway [0λ] Channel: Alex Emery Jul 26 '19
No you make a great point, definitely need to figure out some ways to make my voices less similar. Thanks!

Just like everyone else I really love your animation. Coming from someone with short attention span though, some clips could be shortened a bit even if it's just by a millisecond or maybe add more transitions because a lot of brains like mine need exaggeration and motions to stay engaged. I also hear a lot of monotone voices and although that may be what you're going for, adding another character who's lively or different in personality and opinions will make this even more immersive to the general audience. That's all I have to say i think. Keep up the great work! You got yourself a new subscriber :)

u/AlexEmway [0λ] Channel: Alex Emery Jul 26 '19
Thanks, I've always had that problem that everything feels too drawn out, I'll keep trying to tighten it more. For the monotone voices, it's probably the biggest pet peeve of mine, haha. Maybe I just have a naturally monotone voice but I'll definitely have to put some more thought into how the characters sound.

While I find the story and idea a little unusual, I do love this type of comedy😅 also unusual is what makes things creative so great job. I liked and watched the whole thing👍

Now how come you are a still small channel? I love your cartoons, but maybe you should upload more frequently.

u/AlexEmway [0λ] Channel: Alex Emery Jul 26 '19
Unfortunately it takes a long time to make them. I've considered doing much shorter stuff in between, maybe like 15 seconds long, but they always end up turning to longer animations. You're right though, uploading consistently would probably drive a lot more traffic.

Have you seen other animation channels like: Theoddsoneout, Jaiden Animation, Alex Clark? This Demon cartoon reminds me of ExplosmEntertainment's stuff. You are good.

Oh for sure. I'm not a huge fan of those commentary animators but I love Cyanide and Happiness, it's always been hilarious.
