BRAWL 2015 film. Two men go on a road trip...
Most of my films have been silent, so I experimented with voices and sfx. While it didn't come out as I expected (rather choppy), I learned a lot.
Also... cars are really hard to animate in 
Feedback is extremely appreciated.

Perhaps instead of moving the arms up and down, try making the movement a little more subtle. Perhaps move the right arm, and then move the left. Sometimes go four a double raise, you might also try making the arms go up at different speeds or to different heights. Or, if you don't want to spend as much time animating, lift the arms and hold until they finish speaking.
That being said, something about them raising their arm over and over was actually kinda funny since it was a little weird.
Good jokes. 
@Squid
Thank you! I immediately knew that it looked odd, but at that point I was too far gone I was actually wondering how I could make it look better, thanks a ton for the tip. I'll have to implement it into my future films!
I'm glad you found it funny!
Nice work, Pie, I especially enjoyed the animation of the van going to the music. That guy in the back was waayy too eager to go on a roadtrip
Squid already mentioned the arm movements, which was my one major concern. Keep up the good work!
@rioforce Thanks mate! I was hoping someone would like the van moving Yeah, he really needs to focus his energy somewhere else!
That was funny when that guy tries to make his friend take a selfie.
@brickorbrack Thanks, I thought the Selfie Stick was a nice touch
All that in-car animation must have been a pain; nicely done on that. I liked the idea of the entire film taking place in the driveway. The dancing van was funny and I thought the Focus joke was one of the few intentionally meta theme references that actually worked.
@sillypenta Thanks a ton. It seems we were in a similar boat in regards to car animation Your remark about the ford focus joke is really meaningful coming from a great comedy animator. Thanks a ton!
