Ooooh hell yeah, the first one was a fucking masterpiece, i'm glad you're making this a series! (i hope)

[Geenie Reenie II]

Hi! I think I prefer the rhythm of the first one but this was interesting too. lovely stuff

[Elementary School - "The Essay"]

Jesus, how did you manage to do this in 72 hours, i would have taken like a month. Did you make the backgrounds too or were those already made?

Mozzaliam responds:

Everything was made in those 72 hours except the character designs (which I made a year prior). The short answer to how I managed to make it was "no sleep." LOL

Edit:
Hey, if you ever see this post again, I'm sorry I said all of that. I don't know what was I thinking when I wrote that monologue, and I don't know why I wrote it to you.
I think I used to be angry with myself (specially about animation) and I somehow thought that I was in the right to give you a wake up call, so to speak. I don't think you deserved it, at all. My apologies

I'm not entirely sure how to take this, or how to respond to it, because I feel like you're assuming a lot of things. I can draw a lot better than any drawing in this cartoon, the only reason the drawings here aren't great is because they were drawn very quickly, or they were drawn over a year ago, that's the same reason why the joke isn't very original, because I wrote this right when Breath of the Wild first came out. I can draw better than this, but I do need to work on better posing, you're right about that. Lighting as well, I'm not too great at, that was another reason I didn't shade the whole cartoon, because the lighting just wouldn't have been accurate. I understand some things about light, and I tried to make the lighting accurate with the backgrounds, but then I realized for some of them that accurate lighting just wouldn't look right, and also I had already shaded the character for some shots before making the backgrounds, so the lighting was just wrong anyways.

Also you're assuming I love animating on 1's. I don't, in fact, most of this is on 2's and there's even a lot of 3's and 4's in there. Most of the fight scene is just on 1's because I decided to make the soundscape before animating and I didn't want to edit the timing of the audio, so a lot of the timing isn't great, and parts of it are too fast so you cant' even see the expressions or that the characters do have weight to them. I really should've slowed that down but it would've been too much of a pain. This was the first time I tried doing that, and clearly it didn't work.

I already understand the fundamentals of drawing, and movement, they just weren't fully implemented into this because some parts were rushed, and some parts were old, or I just didn't care about the quality of the drawing. I do seem to have an issue of making things too fast though, so I'll try to work on that.

The thing that gets me the most here, is you saying I started out focusing on quantity over quality. Sure, I guess in 2009 when I put out over 50 videos when I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, but when I started taking animation more seriously, I started my own web series where the episodes were 10 minutes long, weren't very good, and still took forever, so it was neither quantity or quality. There have been years where I've tried to pump out more cartoons, but I never really actively tried to reduce the quality to get them out fast, they just didn't take that long to make.

The fact that you would say that on THIS cartoon of all things though, a cartoon that I started over a year ago and took about 5 months to make, yeah that's really focusing on quantity. Also I've only put out 3 cartoons this year, I'm guessing you saw the 6 submissions on my profile, 2 of which aren't even by me and I only helped on by giving vague ideas and feedback on, and the other I made in 2016. The actual cartoons I've made this year have a total runtime of just over 3 minutes. That's nothing compared to previous years.

Idk, maybe it's just because I'm still going through a bout of depression, and have an inferiority complex, but this still feels overly negative and like an attack, especially with all the assumptions. Maybe that's because english isn't your first language though, so the wording was just bad, I don't know.

I do appreciate the more critical review, but I already know and understand all this, and because of the circumstances of this cartoon, I'm not entirely sure if that's just because the old parts, the rushed parts, or if I really haven't improved at all. I'll keep all of this in mind, but I guess I won't know until the next time I'm able to release something in a reasonable amount of time.
