[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

I love the subtlety

When making flash movies, there's a tendency to blow the animation wad on over-the-top action sequences- if an amateur animator actually animated something, he usually makes damn sure that everybody watching notices that he did. And besides that, the jokes, such as they are, usually fly a mile a minute, the artist seemingly seeking to stick whatever he can manage to the wall.

Here, though, there are many subtle actions, from a character standing up, to the attention payed to the lip-syncing, to very slight twists of the hands, that are by no measure the focus of the shot. It gives the overall presentation a very refined, enlightened feeling- thoroughly hip. And it's long. I don't want to say protracted... just, about as long as it should be. You've a wonderful sense of pacing.

You draw well, too. That gets said a lot, but, like, you actually do. You know what you're doing. A lot of the jokers on this site, myself included, kind of just fake it. Even with the somewhat cartoony style, though, that's not evident here. The characters have sculptural integrity. It looks like their clothes are ON them. That sounds ridiculous, but in a lot of flash movies, the clothes look like a part of the character.

There're no pies being thrown, no over-the-top reactions, or violence. No maudlin melodrama, played straight or otherwise. It feels real, for lack of a better word. Almost slice-of-life.

Just a nifty, entertaining, intricately constructed flash movie. One of those times I wish I didn't throw 10's and 5's out all willy-nilly, so that they'd actually mean something when I enjoy something this much.

Looking forward to more from you.

[part 2: synj vs horrid]

Golly

I can't believe it's been more than 4 years since this first came out.

With thorough knowledge of Flash and awareness of weight and the physics of movement, I have a hard time watching most flash animations without a critical eye anymore.

But watching this, the magic is still there- I don't mentally critique any of the motions, I don't think about how one effect of another was pulled off. All of that just fades into the background, and I'm left with the simple, wonderful experience of watching a cartoon.

Absolutely, positively 10/10. I wish I were one fifth the animator Dan Paladin is.

[The Slurpee Show ep. 1]

I liked the part with me in it, I'm a fan of him.

I feel like I owe you a movie now.

Hmm, hmm...
