Thanks!
Took me about 3+ months maybe? The workload got increasingly streamlined as the deadline loomed.

WOW, Dude! Kudos to you! The styling and the way its directed ttl reminds me of the timing for the cartoons on Cartoon Netwrok like Dexter's Lab or Powerpuff Girls. Excellent job!

Glad you can see those in it.
I must have done something right if you can see Genndy's older stuff in there as well as other people seeing the Samurai Jack influence.
Thanks for you comment

I can tell there is alot of influance from Samurai Jack in this, from the design, colour and animation style. Still a little too too much motion tweens for my liking but still very smooth.

I can't really argue about the sound effects since they are free source sounds and as for the lack of music... it works well without any music.

It's a really well polished animation, hope to see more

Glad you noticed, yeah, too many motion tweens for my liking either, my next animation will be 100% frame by frame.

Glad you didn't find the lack of music too distracting.

Thanks for you comment, more will come in the future

XD awesome. No prob.

I've always wanted to make an animated short, but could never think of classic enough material...

Lovely long animation. Could use a scene selection but still awesome.

midnightheist In reply to 0rava [2009-11-20 23:19:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I might edit it later with a scene selection.
I'm guessing it just involves buttons and naming some keyframes?

0rava In reply to midnightheist [2009-11-21 05:45:41 +0000 UTC]

Naming the frame or using gotoAndPlay(frame number); should both work.

Dang it was long, lol, but it was funny.
I thought the caveman was going to wip out a gun or something.

That was amazing. The detail put into it was fantastic. I loved the mountains in the background and the crystal-dagger design.

My FAVORITE part was when the Caveman tried to slash at the Alien with the horn-sword and you did the black with white spark/slash lines. I loved it. It reminded me of Samurai Jack.

It was really great. The effects, animation, everything. Keep it up. You did amazing.

midnightheist In reply to BatmanFreak [2009-11-13 23:21:03 +0000 UTC]

I had a lot of fun designing backgrounds. Strangely enough expirmenting with those cliff faces was one of my favourite parts in making it.

Yeah, the sword slashes are totally inspired my Samurai Jack. Too awesome not to emulate.

Thanks for the kind words.
