[Professor Layton pt. 4]

Puddin' Man!

I love how they're just going on and on at the end about the toaster and then suddenly they both just shut up at the same time. Great comedic timing. This is the animation I keep coming back to in the series, and the most quotable for sure. I crack up every time the Doc says "You're gonna kill your toaster!" and his voice cracks. Great stuff!

Skaijo responds:

This one is a personal fav of mine as it was just so much fun making. I think we were all just high on oxygen at the time and heavily sleep deprived when this was put together. It was so much fun.

[Professor Layton pt. 5]

Awesome

I have to ask, was all that stuff Luke was saying (like "I'm 42 years old!" and "I live on the moon!") just random gibberish made up on the spot, or was the voice actor actually reading stuff from someone's facebook updates? I can't tell if it's random or satire. Either way Luke is the best, he's such a hyped up annoying little shit. Don't kill him off! He's the best part!

Skaijo responds:

I wanted TW to say I'm 42 as the crux of the animation. We have a firm belief that anything Luke says often enough can be ffunny. Then I recorded him saying a bunch of other random lines and I would feed in from time to time like "I like cement! I take college notes on foil paper!" From there TW will get really into it and start ripping out brilliance rantifications like the whole I'll open up your mouth a rape your brains bit which had me rolling on my carpet. I can't really remember everything else, but it's just a really fun recording session is all. Then some eager mixing to get the timing right. The animation.

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

Pleasing and finally a decent length.

After most previous Blockhead episodes fell in at a short length, it was pleasing to see that you took your time to make a reasonably long episode without sacrificing the quality or humour. I love the blockhead series and enjoyed the game. It's clear you've learned a lot about flash animation since Blockhead 8.

I would be very pleased if you continued the series. Your sense of humour is still great to watch. Keep experimenting and keep Blockhead as random and stupidly funny as ever. I'll keep watching.

On a side note. I was pleased to see you put some of the music from the game in the episode as background music. Those tracks were good and made the animation seem somewhat more professional and enjoyable.

The-Swain responds:

I tweaked the background music to fit with the cartoon a bit more. Mostly this involved changing instruments and lightening some of the more obnoxious themes, but they were essentially game songs. Thanks for noticing :D
