"Felt I should..."

submission: Stick Slayer Episode VIII

date: November 4, 2009

Haha, I was one of the old stick animators alongside Rob that inspired Ben to make the Stick Slayer series. I remember him voting down all my stuff in 2001 because they had stick figures. Figured I should pay my final respects here.

I never followed Stick Slayer after the 2nd but I just watched this and it was a fantastic piece of work. A worthy result of a combination of effort and skill from a talented animator. Rest in peace Ben Spurgin.

submission: Thwomps: The Movie

date: August 19, 2007

All I can say is wow, I really enjoyed that. You put so much charm and character into a bunch of sprites, I really liked and gave a damn about the thwomp characters. The jokes were great, the use of music excellent and the animation superb. You have all my ten.

Score: 10

"Holy fucking SHIT Oscar, best stick movie EVER!"

submission: Castle III part B

date: January 9, 2007

Seriously, the time you've spent has paid off. I've never seen such level of detail, such care taken into the script, dialogue, even the camera angles and things like the general doing his little hand signals to give orders. So much thought and research went into this. I watched C and D over at your site as well and jeez- I dunno what to say. Castle 3 is the epitome of the stick figure genre. All those years we spent as stick animators we worked towards something like this, from Project 1 to Joe Zombie 2 or whatever. This is the pinnacle of what the stick death genre has becoome,and I don't think it can be pushed any further at all. I defy anyone to top this, cause I sure as hell couldn't. No more stick movies people, the genre is dead. Oscar's just beat the shit out of every other stick animator out there, and I can't imagine things getting any better.

Score: 5

"Ouch."

submission: Killing Spree VI

date: September 21, 2006

Sorry Samus guy, it looks pretty and all but practically putting the ENTIRE MOVIE IN SLOW MOTION does not make it exciting in the slightest. The last thing you want is for this movie to be boring being an action flick and all, but you had all these fancy spinny effects and slow motion for the guy doing a standard KICK, not to mention all the slow moving montages of faces looking angry. This movie moved at a slug's pace and I yawned. Yeah the Swift 3D looks great and all but as it is, to me this was a snorefest.

Also, the music choice didn't go with the movie at all. Bleeding Mascara didn't exactly go with a multi-camera, slow-motion shot of a guy turning around.

This isn't to be disrespectful, this is my honest opinion on the movie. Just like too many cooks spoil the broth, two many dull slow-motion montages of trivial things spoil the Flash. You get a 5, and a 3 on the voting scale.

I usually hate anime-type fight movies (full of clichés) but this one put the rest to shame, as well as the animation of most anime you find on TV and DVD! The frame by frame motion is so goddamn fluid and realistic. The music was twee but it fit the whole thing well. As a showcase of your animating abilities this is amazing. Well done!
