[Animator vs. Animation]

Short but sweet. I can definitely vouch for the creativity in this one - particularly, the gun that shot frames and firing an eraser as a projectile to cut it in half. Simple, clever, and well-animated. I noticed at a few points certain animations (the blade that was scribbled out, the animation shaking hands with his copy) seemed to be ways to 'fill in gaps to allow one part of the animation to progress while the other did not. This is really a minor issue though, and for 2006 this is absolutely jaw-dropping.

[Animator vs. Animation IV]

Whoa, I certainly was not expecting this. You did a really great job here. Your physics and fullbody animation are incredibly impressive and set a new landmark. Sounds/graphics/etc are mostly the same as they've always been, though I like how you made a new twist incorporating the smartphone. Did you animate that on its own and have to pantomime your fingers over it?

There were a few shortcomings I noticed in this animation, or at least things I didn't like, but none of them really takes away from it enough for me to say that this isn't better than the last installment. First of all, your particle effects are not nearly as prevalent in this as they were in AvA3. Second, I felt the story was a little more Disney-esque with the "we're friends now" ending, which seemed a little cheesy to me, given the way the rest of the series has gone. That said, you did a really amazing job here and you really stepped up your game.

[Five Nights At Freddy's (]

Normally I wouldn't give a something like this a 4/5 but I have to admit that the punchline really got me, moreso than the other parodies on this site, regardless of whether or not they were better drawn or better animated. Nice animation bro, I got a laugh out of this.

Chauder responds:

Lol thank you :)

[Short: Madman]

Kind of average/samey honestly. The animation is quite basic, especially because there isn't really much fighting going on - half of the animation is a guy shooting people that are already dead. The blood animation is basic - at one point some blood pools where it should be dripping off the ledge but it continues expanding at the same rate. I can tell that this was made for a collab, since it lacks music as well.

[Rap Song]

I think you overdid it a little. Aesthetically there's really nothing wrong with this but in the end the excessive over-the-top cartoony animation, lyrics, and even the instrumental made me feel like I would be embarrassed if anyone walked in on me watching this. Putting aside that the technical aspect of this was mediocre, this is what really bothered me as it really took away from what could have been a solid animation. The innuendos weren't really clever either and ended up being played out. If you had wanted to be funny you could have incorporated some more wordplay or legitimately impressive elements of rap.

[MCI FINAL - RJA III vs EQ]

Richard's flow is a tiny bit off and it harms him a lot considering who he's up against. I looked through Richard's bars twice wondering if he made any fuckups and honestly I feel like his bars couldn't have been much better, but Eq still took it. Dude came with crazy punches and didn't let up for as much as a couplet.
