All of the animation an the detain in this just makes me feel like my films are lacking.
This is really great, and I love it.

So many random fun characters, all doing ridiculous stuff which just doesn't make any sense.
It's just like how it is in my head.

"My name is K-0-P-3-R.  I am skilled in over six million forms of torture."

Anyway, great film.  Lots of very detailed sets, and the animation was superb, with great moments like the smashing window, and the most creative use of those Batman batarang bricks (not that I've really seen any other uses of that brick, but that's beside the point).  The only thing that I disliked was that the "Police Show! Police Show!" song got somewhat annoying after a while, but I enjoyed everything else. 

I was slightly disappointed that this was only about two minutes long, but I definitely think that detailed sets and background animation give this film a massive improvement, really makes it stand out, and adds a lot of  "re-watch quality".  It certainly makes up for the short length.

Am I right in guessing Rob-O-Phelia and K0P3R will be teaming up at some point in the future?

Oh yes, and how did you animate the window smash?  Were there any special techniques you used, or was it just a matter of using a lot of rigs?

Random coincidence: When I watched this film, the youtube banner advertisement on the bottom of the video screen (the one that always pops up ten seconds after you've started the clip) had an ad that said "avoid paying green taxes!" and was something about renewable energy.  It occurred to me that this might actually secretly be an ad from Orange in order to dissuade viewers from donating money to the Green cause while the Orange-Green war rages on...   Only joking, of course, but I thought it was a funny coincidence.

Well worth the wait, Dave! I must agree with everyone here, I liked how detailed everything was. Even though the film itself was about 1 minute and 45 seconds long (excluding the credits and the part after the video). Really great work!

I am definitely a beginner when it comes to motion graphics. I'd love to pay some one to do this for me, but NNN isn't making enough money for that, yet...

Gosh, animation at its finest

I wasn't consciously thinking of her, but I think I was subconsciously influenced I haven't seen a lot of Fringe, but I've seen enough to know that Astrid is awesome

In my mind i justify that by imagining that the building themselves are alive   But yes, that was a particularly bad set bump. If I was doing this in any sort of professional manner I would have gone back and redone the offending frames. But my motto is to keep moving forward and learn from my mistakes for the next time.

A lot of the set bumps and light flicker happened in the tan office where I was animating with a roof above the characters. That was a mistake. I will need to plan a lot better the next time I have a set with a roof
