[SMRPG Waltz of the Forest]

Excellent

I was quite surprized by the quality of animations and the general music, I am not fond of the rap parts but that's just personal taste. I used to play this game and you bringed me some good memories, keep up the good work.

P.s. Sorry for my english.

[Cirque des Enfants]

Good animation.

The style is pretty interresting and unique. The audio fits perfectly with the image. Just one thing: The banner that is written "Les cirque des enfant" is wrong. As french is my main language, I can tell that it should have been "Le cirque des enfants" otherwise it would have been if there were more than one circus and if you really wanted it to talk about more than one circus there was still a error it would have been "Les cirques des enfants". Anyway I don't want to sound as a ass I just want to help if you want it to be 100% correct. keep up the good work.

Spune responds:

Yeah a lot of people have mentioned that. Unfortunately I can't really be bothered to change that, because it'd be harder then one might think to go back into this cartoon. It's only a minor thing really, but myeah. Thanks anyway. :)

[Sweatshop Diaries]

Interresting style.

I liked it but I think that you used too much "stock" stuff. Like pictures of bricks as texture , picture of sky, of wood , etc. I liked the feel of the video but as I said I think it would have been better that you actualy make the textures yourself by drawing them instead of taking them on google or in the stock textures of photoshop.But still nice work , continue!

[The Last Fight: Final Ep]

Good animation.

I think it's a good video, however most of the animations are pretty statics or has repetitive and not so accurate cycles. The palette of color is interesting but sometimes the red is way too saturated , even pure red probably such as the blood which look a bit amateur. Also , I haven't seen the other episodes but this seems like a typical action packed manga animation with no real emotion , it's all about action and only action, but perhaps I'm wrong. Don't get me wrong I think it's a good starting but also has a lot of improvement to be made.

Sorry for my english.

Best regards , Mathieu.

[The mouse and the lion]

Good work.

Great animations, the desaturated colors give a nice touch and that kind of palette is not used that much which give you your proper style. It was a bit short but keep up the good work.
