[NEW Super Mario Bloopers | Level UP]

Pretty nice throwback to the days of early mario sprite parodies I would watch as a wee 9 year old on the internet. Got a few laughs out of me actually, which is impressive considering the insane amount of mario parodies out there on the web haha. This is creative and well-made, appreciate some of the original sprite work too! Hope to see more stuff like this in the future.

Thanks bud :) definitely appreciate the thoughtful response

[SPOOKY DANCE PARTY!]

I really appreciate projects like this. I know it's not perfect- Too long, lots of poorly done animation sequences, really repetitive. HOWEVER, anyone who uses these against this project are missing the point. This is creativity in purest form. Jazza's just gotten a bunch of people all interested in the same thing, with a variety of skill and talent, to just work on one consistent theme. Whether this builds connections, simply helps build and exercise skill, maybe even encourages peeps to animate, it's all positives and I'm glad to see such a collaborative project.
Admittedly I couldn't watch the whole thing, but it was fun just grazing through and seeing all the variety. Hell, maybe I'll even participate next time around.
Hope to see more like this soon!

[Pikachu on Acid 2]

Fucking incredible- even better than the first
Seeing how much your animation skills have gotten is so cool, especially since you're still using those skills to make crazy trippy shit with cute cartoon characters. This whole thing was just so amazing (with the exception of the bellsprout scene tho). I can't wait to see more from you dudes, keep up the good work!!

[Cicatriz - Lika Nova (danielcuervoanimation)]

It was a pretty good music video, wish I spoke the language so I could understand the song haha. However, the music video captured the tone of the song very well just based on what I was able to make of it. I loved the character designs and how well drawn and animated things like the falling apart portions were done, and the 3D stuff with the buildings was amazing. Really creative stuff. Unfortunately, other aspects of the music video seemed unfinished. The lack of a background for a majority of the music video, lack of color, walk cycles that seemed a little float-y, and low amounts of frames used for certain movements. These are all things that could have been fixed had the extra time been spent to do so, and based on how well made the rest of the animation was, I know you could do it.

You're definitely very talented and I love your style. I know that if you just put in the extra effort, you could make something that other music videos would envy. I'd love to see more in the future!!

DanielCuervo responds:

hey thanks for ur comment, i did this music video for a colombian rockband, unfortunately i just had one month for making it, and the lack of background and color design is because the time... adding those things to my workflow could make everything more difficult and well... i had to accomplish my deadline :)

[Trump Loves Doggy Style]

Honestly I was anticipating another unfunny, unoriginal Trump parody but there was no way I could've anticipated that haha. I'm not sure how you made the dog do that, but fucking hell that was funny. Plus you got your Trump impression 100%. Truly a modern masterpiece. God bless you.

[The Crucifixion of Jesus]

Awesome stuff. The characters were well made and animated, especially good on the voice acting and sound design. Pretty funny too. Only thing that could use work is the action sequence, since it didn't seem as intense as it was built up to be since no characters were really reacting at all. They just kinda stood and let it happen. You could've also sped up the responses in the dialogue since it felt a little slow and took away from how well certain jokes were executed. Otherwise, the film was really good. Definitely wanna see more!

Twin-Tales responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Originally we had an other plan for the action scene, Jesus were meant to just pop up and then everything would hold for a few seconds, like a shock/deadpan effect. But we felt that might be even slower. It's tricky to keep the action scenes at a good pace.

[Transsexual Collab]

Everyday my dad hits me over the head repeatedly with a box of Easy Mac. He tells me that it's because his life would be "Easy Cheesy" without a disappointment like me. Now I finally have a beautiful piece of work to impress my old man with. Thank u.

Juke responds:

whos this imposter im telling wade

[Prank Calling]

The animation was a little clunky and the composition wasn't that great, but I love the art. Kinda had this Eddsworld meets Chowder feel to it, that's just my opinion though. And you gotta love creative dark humor~
