[Maggie's Piano Lesson]

JacobLenstar is an animation machine! :P

I know this is a goofy short, but the only thing missing in my mind is a little 'beep boop' or something electronic when the hands come out of Maggie's hat. Otherwise, ya made me smile. :)

[Mewx's Grave]

Victory...but at what cost...?
(Answer= The Solar System)

Very good Mewx, very good indeed! You've made huge strides in animation qualitiy since I first met ya in 2014, and yet you've still got so much more potential to explore.

Don't forget to add blinks to characters standing still to add extra life, and a few additional frames of animation during motion tweens helps to make things not look stiff.

Keep it up dude!

[Barn]

Mario can't decide if he's overjoyed at the sight of Barn, or terrified and shocked that he's watching a dinosaur get down to the beat.

This made me laugh!

[Don't Feed the Pigeons]

"Eh, she's got a point, I don't wanna eat the guy..."
Such honesty made me lose it. :P

[MINE MEME | Magic Girl Edition]

I can see that you're on your way in animation, but I'd suggest that you keep pushing your skills to add more frames of unique animation to avoid the animation from having too many motion tweens that involve an arm moving at a single controlled speed.

For example, I liked near the beginning when the stars started zooming around, but if you added an extra inbetween or two it would be even smoother.

With Mandy, since all of her movements are tweens, her actions look a bit too stiff. However, since I saw that you are able to draw her in different poses and holding different props, I know you'll eventually get to the point where you can animate her with a variety of movement.

As well, I can also suggest you add a few blinks to her if she is calmly standing still. Even with animations when a character isn't moving around that much, adding a blink and even the tiniest amount of head or body movement now and then does wonders in making a character look alive and not like a cardboard cutout.

Best of luck, and I hope you can continue to improve. :)

[Chutney vs TOMMY WISEAU!]

Just in time to watch this before Halloween is all over for the night.

Forgot to say that even though this is mostly an animatic, you still have some bits with some pretty solid animation, even if it isn't fully colored. :)

Although...one has to wonder if Tommy was fully dealt with, or if he still stalks the lands of Chutney Island when the night has fallen?

[Prison Break!]

Great work all around Chut! Animating to music can be really tricky, but you were able to get plenty of charm and fluidity into the motions without resorting to a bunch of reuse.

Also, now that an almost year long fight between Mah'Nah and TheMewx has finally concluded they can go back to being friends. :P

P.S
If I ever have to break out of a prison, I hope that I can pull it off like how the gang did.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Thanks Syrup! Check this out...

[Pike Plays Catch]

You know, it's weird.
I was sick all day, so when I watched this in the morning, the animation looked choppier than you normally animate. Fast forward to now, watching after a full day of rest, and the animation looks 3x better than when I first saw it.

Which means I was REALLLLLY sick! So much so, that I was viewing life at 15 frames per second, freaky.

...Temporary health issues aside, I'll say that this is one of your best episodes in terms of sound design and I enjoyed the dialogue and character acting. Good work getting Frilligan to seamlessly move out of his walk cycle as he walks closer to the camera, same with Cecile. :P

Keep it up dude!

[Chutney Island Adventures Ep6]

We get to see the true depths of SkullLord's evil in this episode.
Holding the Reaper's pet dog hostage so he's forced to turn a horse into glue?! Nefarious!

Jokes aside, great work with the cinematography in this one, I was both enthralled with the growing plot and laughing at the same time. :P

[Chutney Island Adventures Ep5]

I'd say she's a terrible shot, but you don't know true fear until you see a giant crab rushing towards you at top speed. She gets a pass in my books. :P

Wonder where King Crab is taking them?

P.S
Chutney animated this by himself and he's being a goofball crediting me instead.
