BillDing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captain Hampton]

Great!

Really good animation for a really amazing song. Keep up the good work. One of the things that bugged me though, was the lip sync. No offense, but using the "Symbol method" looks kind of ugly. Might I suggest frame by frame lip sync?

Ninjkabat responds:

You definitely could make that suggestion of frame by frame lip synching. I probably would be disinclined to acquiest your request, though, as I think that symbol lip synching is a fine method that saves a lot of time and energy. I personally believe that the number of successful artists that use this method - Johny Utah, Homestar Runner, Harvey Birdman, I could go on - proves that it is not a flawed technique, but one that is usually flawed in execution.

I think that my execution went rather smoothly, though, thanks to the number of phonetic sounds I represented and the number of keyframes I used in my lip synching. I do see what you mean on one part during the chorus, where the MCBC is saying "Captain Hampton" really fast, and the lip synching is not amazing. But that was unfortunately unavoidable, as the framerate was 16, which does not allow for many points of articulation for very fast words.

I'm glad you liked it otherwise. Oh, wait. I just right now realized you were BillDing. I didn't look at the name before I started the response. That's funny. How's it going? Well, Bill, I'm glad you liked it otherwise. It didn't have quite the same level of caffene as your Super Rad one, but it's nice to know that it's still entertaining.

Pretty good.

Meh, pretty nice animation.
Just wondering why you didn't use the full song or the CD version.
