A Practical Joke (Short Cartoon) Page 2

Nowthat's true

But though I dismiss the joke, the animation is very good, I'd love to be able to bring one of my jokes to life like that...maybe if I ask Yacob nicely ;)

Didn't feel it needed to be shortened myself, in fact if anything it all happened a bit too quickly. Might be me showing my age though.

I agree with DB. It's all way, way too quick. I hadn't a chance to consider what might happen before something happened. I'd prefer a pause for the audience (and characters) to consider what might happen before the reveal. As it is it isn't really a reveal because we don't have time to settle in to expectation.

Animation = good.

Voices = don't mind.

Thanks guys. I'll have a go re-editing it (make it longer/shorter/whatever) but ultimately I might bin it as the joke may not be good enough.

Maybe, but I am a little busy. It'd have to be a script I really like.

Thanks Yacob...well I have plenty in stock when the time is right, though I fear I may have to grovel now ;)

Please slate my stuff if you don't like it though.

I wouldn't have commented at all if it had nothing to praise :)

I have to say, it made me giggle. Take a second off, add 4 seconds on, who cares? It's a good joke, although I'd agree the voices were about 50% too wacky...although the first guy has to be a bit of an annoying "office joker" for it to work.
