[Pico Epilogue]

Didn't see that coming...

And here I was thinking it was going to be a cockless animation... how wrong I was.

Anyway, for what it's worth the visuals were great as per usual. The animation was fluent but short, mixed with a... humerous, ending makes this a fun animation.

Good job guys.

[Uberkid's Revenge]

Amazing!

This is why I love Pico Day. An unholy amount of talent and pressure going into an animation.

Your style of art is amazing, its like a portrait sketch which would be something so difficult to pull off when it comes to animating. Throughout the whole animation your consistancy to have amazing visuals peeked, I loved it.

You took your own style of animating and mixed it with Pico which will push this animation further than most of the other random kill em all styles people are doing.

Amazing visuals, brilliant sound and even though its very early into Pico Day, a very high contender to be taking out a top 5 place.

[PicoDay: PathwayThroughNG]

I loved it

C&U, There She Is, Bad Guys! Christ you guys did alot.

First and foremost I need to add that whoever did the badguy voices pulled them off well!

Anyway, the animation was great. Usually this style of animation gets dragged on to long and just gets boring, but you guys pulled it off with flare. It was brilliant.

From visuals to sound to the fun length of the animation, it showed all the hard work you put in. Great job!

calcoA responds:

All voices other than X-Men and Weebl and Bob were done by their original voice actors.

It's in the credits also, if you were wondering.

[Clayland - Pico 2]

Great laugh

This will go down as one of the funny animations. Anyway, great clay work here.

The animation was quite fluent which is something most claymations lack, along with this there was some decent detail put into your models which paid off.

Overall, good work... I also enjoyed the voice acting, very monotone.

TechFlash responds:

heh, thanks dude! Wow, it surprises me to see tons of people online at midnight!

[pico's fan]

Decent

Ok this animation was a bit mixed in my mind. You exceeded in some things and didn't do so well in others.

First, your animation was great. You set out your visuals well, went for some daring shots and it paid off. The animation was fluent at times and you had a nice mix of movement and still shots.

Though what really pissed me off was the music, it was great at the start, then it cut out. I'm sure you're going to hear this 1,000 times throughout all the reviews... but if you kept it going im sure you would of gotten a higher score.

The storyline was good, for once it wasn't Pico grabbing a gun and going nuts on the unsuspecting public, it was a new twist to the movie, along with some laughs.

Anyway, great plot... great visuals, great animation. You just need to fix that sound.

Sharples responds:

how, how, how do i fix that sound? any suggestions? and by the way, is the pre-loader working for you?

[Pico's Time Tank]

Nice ending

Wow, what a team. You two really pulled this off well. The whole time I was watching the animation I was thinking... how the hell do they pull this shit off?

Your frame by frame work was amazing, some of the best I've seen. You really put the effort and time into this and it paid off big time.

The music was placed brilliantly aswell it all just went well with each time scene.

Together this was a fine mix of violence and... violence. Great animation, this is literally the first Pico Day submission I've seen and my expectations have already been exceded.

Keep it up guys, I'd love to see more teamwork by the both of you in the future!

[Bunnykill 3 Vol.2]

Now that's madness!

Hands down the best kill em' all animation I've seen. I can see you put a hell of alot of effort into this and I swear it paid off.

It was brilliantly constructed, well thought out and fluently animated. From the amazing visuals to the enjoyable length of the work, this animation proved to be an instant great.

I don't care if you take the same amount of time to make another episode like this, cause it sure as hell pays off.

Great work.

[VA Tech Tribute]

Woah, crap.

If you're going to make a tribute about an animation. ANIMATE it, don't just have a slideshow with the same fade in fade out effect and some text.

This was boring, visually plain and just pointed out the obvious of the day.

Splax responds:

[The One Hour FBF Collab 3]

Good idea

Alright, the idea for the collab is quite nice. I like the fact that ALL peices were done in the same time limit.

The only problem I saw was the fact that you were taking something that is quite hard to do successfully in FxF (explosions) and make it look decent in an hour.

Now I'm not saying that they wern't good. Most of the scenes visually looked quite nice and peices had some decent animation, but the fluency of the explosions and the way they were visually expressed could of been better and the score really reflects this due to the fact that it was only made in an hour for each peice.

I'm sure if you had a little more time this peice would of been far more successful. But don't get me wrong, I really liked this peice and the one hour deadline was quite unique.

So good luck with future work and I'll look forward to watching further themes.

[LL - Save Tonight]

Finally, an 'EEC' Collab!

This was quite a mixed reaction on my behalf. Throughout the collab the visuals were great, they always maintained a nice visual perspective whether they were simple or more complex.

The animation on all halfs were VERY fluent and smooth. Something I enjoy immensely in any animation and each of you pulled it off very well.

The only thing I didn't like was the scene choice and direction of it. While most of you had great scenes and enjoyable characters, now and again there were scenes that were completely unrelated in textual repesentation or in conjunction with other animations... so basically they were jsut voided in comparison to other work.

Bar that, the collab looked great and in my eyes was a great success!!!
