interesting, There were those pauses but interesting.
I do agree with a lot of people here when I say the animation was a litle slow but none the less, was way to funny. So funny I had to call my wife in the room to watch it. Good job.
I can still barely think of the start (baby laugh) and the end (lalalalalalalalala) without gigling. That is a seriously good short.
yup, another damn fine comedy-short!
Hi Sago,
I saw this anim on the conference video and found it really great, very different from the man in man but personnaly I found this one even better from the rendering point of vue, as mentioned by other, it is a bit slow but great anyway.

I’ve just watched the short and I found it hilarious! Animation is perfect!
The only thing that kind of “annoyed” me is the poor quality of the voice recording (all the TADAAAH and OH NO things). It sounds really muffled, and it’s sad compared to the quality of animation.
So if you like, I propose to re-make it, provided I get the other sounds FX.
Be well
EDIT : better idea, I can record the voice only, and if you find it suitable, you can reedit the sound track 
why everyone blame those pauses!?! I think that animation is better if it is more realistic and in real life things are slower, than in animations, you know what I mean.
Thanks all.
Jogai - the next orange team? If only… I prefer pink a bit more though.
Reywillow - yeah, the voice recording is kinda bad. My computer records a terrible static, no idea where it’s coming from. So there’s a lot of filtering I need to do, which isn’t really great for the quality either.
Anyway, I won’t be working on this anymore, so no need to do any voice recording yourself… besides, what if you sound like Sean Connery, I would never use it then, that’s for sure… I mean, this animation with a Sean Connery voice, that would be just plain silly. But for future projects I’ll try to put more effort into the sounds and voices.
LOL! Nice one. Great use of those old models too.

Geez, what kept ya, BgDM? We’re already on page 3. I mean, a thread of mine means nothing if there’s no post of you in it. But you here, finally, well done. You’re like the whipcream on a chocolate cake.
Your buddy,
Sago
Btw. will you be going to Amsterdam next year?.. no, never mind… silly question…
Too bad, I am Sean Connery. How did you know?
Be well
Well done and congratulations! What about another project with a longer, more serious plot?
Good lighting, modeling, but totally empty, timing is really bad.
Though, it’s a good try Sago, keep it up, i like the idea.
Well, what will follow is not against you Sago. 
Damn, why all blendies here are exaggerating about quality or compare it with other non-related works? This is to convince yourself you’ve made a good choice by using Blender or WHAT??!
It’s not by making false congratulations that things here will evolve.
look:
Why the hell are you telling that? where’s the story? What the hell these clichés??!! Did you even see a Pixar movie?
reminder - not against you Sago
Really? where is the exceptionnal stuff here?
Except all the respect i have for the Sago’s work…
…
lol, you are not serious?
No, you wrong. Timing is totally bad. Cartoonish effect is mainly exaggeration.
well, except the first page of this thread, all critics are falses.
This overload of “good Blender feeling” begins to silly me. The “gimmick” of this community!
Oh yeah, gotcha’, you’re behaving like that to be sure he will make a tutorial . pitiful, even not motivated to do their own tries.
Rather than to make tutorials which you don’t even follow; :p, i prefer he spends his time by making cool and better short.
Anyway, i hope, maybe in the future, we’ll put blender in the background and put focus on stories and arts.
cheer
okay, now you may burn me
wow, that last post was kinda scary
“wow, that last post was kinda scary”
scary, but with a point. Sago, i love Most of your work, but some of those comments were a little…over-zealous(wacked). A little suck-up-ish. As usual, i think you do a great job(loved man in man) but this isnt your best work.
Peace All
Drew
PS this post is in no way meant to be offensive, or anything, dont want to get attacked.
Yo Meltdown,
I do agree with you on some points, but no, not all.
Like I said in the first post, this was something I made very quickly (hence the questionable pacing), but you also have to keep in mind I made it specially to be shown at BConf '06. Everyone who doesn’t know Blender and Ton, will most likely don’t like this short, or at least don’t understand it. But I’m convinced many Blenderheads will like this, in some way… cause hell, I know my public.
I think your biggest mistake was some of your remarks on other people’s comments. There were many subjective comments, based on people’s own personal opinion and sense of humor.
BgDM for example, if you fart, he’ll laugh, no doubt about that. Many other people would be just disgusted by your fart. But that’s just BgDM’s sense of humor, you CANNOT touch that, you CANNOT say that’s wrong.
But that’s what you did. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you on some points, but you seem to have missed the small line between objective and subjective statements. Some people like English humor, some don’t. Nothing you can do about that. It’s their own personal opinion. Which makes your personal opinion about the short just as valid.
Anyway, i hope, maybe in the future, we’ll put blender in the background and put focus on stories and arts.
Arts? Naah, not with Blender anyway. Just bloody brilliant entertainment… perhaps also some controversial stuff… that’s all… yeah, you know what I mean…
Thumbs up (++).
Always fascinated what (some) people can create. This file will be stored in my blender/arts/coolstuff folder 
Great work Sago! I saw it at bconf also, and anyone else who was there will verify that this animation had the audience laughing the most of any shown. I personally thought the pauses were perfect, but I think the atmosphere of watching it from the back row of a full auditorium had a lot to do with that.
So, I’d say you succeeded.
Words fail me.
EDIT: Just read a few of the later posts and had to add a couple of comments:
Knowledge of Blender history may give an added bonus but it’s not essential to get something from it. My wife doesn’t give two hoots about Blender but she got a giggle out of this. I’ll show the kids tomorrow.
I thought it was slow before the head kick - but then the long pause made absolute sense.
It might not be perfection on a stick but it’s pure Sago and as he said, made with a purpose and within a timeframe. It is what it is - and it’s excellent. More!
“squeak squeak!”
