I think its accent.
thanks. And forgot to mention: hundred percent gallery-stuff!
Fabalicious all over again! Hahahahaha! The “isn’t quite there yet” pacing is fine.
Oh really? I didn’t know that. Actually that tutorial would then be itself be a parody of another voice over. Years ago when I installed my first ever Linux (Red Hat 5.2 at the time) the soundcard setup was successful if you could hear “My name is Linus and I pronounce Linux as Linux” 
Awesome materials there!
Would have been quite cool if Ton had swung his sword back at the sea monster though!
haha, that was great fun, that trash man really cracks me up when he crashes his car into the wall, haha, that was awsome!
some of my crits on this work
*when the fat guy holding the dead chicken walks in and says “billys dead, billys dead” i didnt really believe billy was dead, so maybe you need to hire better voice actors?
*the fireworks secne was amazing, i crapped my pants, cleaned them off, watched it again and crapped all over again
*it was all great fun, but i though the message about staying in school was lost when the chickens are spanking each other, do you think this is the right kind of message to send to children?
all in all i give you one star…because i thought it was great and horrible at the same time…
good luck in 2005 it will be Sago’s year!!!
Cool! Please post a blend with skin matireal .)))
that was awsome
Very entertaining!
And the squeaks were perfect 
RobertT

Hilarious!
Thanks for a good laugh

Thanks all for the replies, means a lot to me. The pacing (especially the pauzes in between) was one of the things I thought needed more attention (which didn’t get it because the deadline). A bit surprising that some of you thought it was fine. Though I believe there are still a lot of things that can be improved, it’s also a matter how you look upon this kind of weird humor. I think.
Alex G - you’re right, haha, wasn’t really aiming for a deep story. Good thing you noticed that. 
ChojinDSL - thanks. It’s the internal render. Yafray would be insane for an amimation, no matter how short it is.
Husam - thanks man. Not much to say about the lighting. 2 spotlights with Shadow Buffer hanging in the air, 1 lamp at the bottom for the neglected lower parts of the scene and AO with some gradient worldcolours. Easy as that.
AniCator - I was at the BConf on saturday, so unfortunately I missed its premiere. Indeed, the lipsync-tutorial doesn’t really exist anymore, but there are still some fragments to be found online. And of course, the soundfile was the hardest to find.
Fellow Suzanne Award Winning Rocketman - your comparison seems a bit too much, but thanks. Movement of one hand (+ lower arm) is actually quite easy, because it’s just one string of bones. And there’s also 1 rule I use for myself: even if something doesn’t move, there should always be some movement. Even if it’s just the tiniest bit.
Radscientist - sorry man, no subtitles. Not much to hear anyway. Just the sound of a guy going “TADAAAAH” when Ton comes up, a “Hmmmm” when he’s just about to push the button, Ton’s voice going “Hi my name is Ton Roosendaal and I pronounce Blender as Blender” after pushing, a “WAAAUUW!” while shaking Ton, a squeaking sound everything that green toy gets… uhm… squeezed, a “HAHA” after hitting the green toy and an “OH NOO” after losing Ton’s head and facing (?) the viewer. That’s all.
Eaglebreath - sure Ton has an accent, but there’s something else that makes his voice so weird… I mean funny, uhm… I mean cool. Dunno what it is. It’s like he just uses his jaw for speaking, instead of using his entire mouth. Anyway, it’s pretty funny… I mean cool.
Super Wu-Man - yeah, I just… what?.. ah, that’s so… hmmm… whatever, man.
shirokoff - perhaps I’ll do that some day. But I’ll tell, it won’t make you happy.
RobertT - thanks man, me love you long time.
Bart - thanks man, me love you long time.
Sago, you’ve got that Mr. Bean kind of funny in you! Rock on.
Hahahahahahahahah !! Dude thats awsome really really really really like it, no love it Man You so good! Anything perfect, Also the long break. And I also think you should post a blend with the materials
ah thanks. the animation does looks good and I recognized the hand right away from “the man in man”.
Nice work Sago! Too bad Ton had to lo(o)se.
Keep um coming!
love your sense of humor!
Tim
Flyingscanian - yeah, Mr. Bean… I actually had that in my mind while making it. So that’s why it’s a bit Bean-flavoured…
Lasphere - thanks man. A blend with the materials… yeah… could do that… some day… perhaps… no problem
Radscientist - No problem & thanks
Roger - Yeah, Ton loses… it was a tough decision… I’m sure you can cope with it.
Room335 - Thanks! And I’ll do my best to keep 'em coming
Are you in the next orange team? I think with this quality you can make a commercial attractive animation (short).
Great style.
Some great stuff (join pixar, they need some better writers (and they could use your animation talents)). I’ve been a big fan of your work and I hope that you keep making great stills and animations.
