Hi, Its been a while,

Check out the first episode of our animated series. The idea is to pick an issue bothering this country and satirize it, hoping you get entertained. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

great effort . however my eyes kept picking up issues with the animation. i feel a lot of the curves were not properly addressed. i noticed quite a significant number of spikey motion in a lot of the head turns and hand movements particularly at about 3:12 when the igbo dude was talking. not enough easing in and out of key poses making some of the movement quite distracting. maybe because u use the step  interpolation when blocking and were too much in a hurry to clean out the curves in the final animation. overall id say its fair and a treat to watch. but then its easy to criticize. Episode 2 please.

Thanks a lot man. Appreciate the comments.

@zPixel,

Nice work enjoyed watching.

Loved it. I understand where xothermic is coming from. But I think it's a format that has legs and staying power. Nice work. My main question would be do you intend to reflect current news or general thematic issues such as power, corruption, etc? Because it'll be hard to react to news within days using 3D but if it's the latter then you can just build up a volume of episodes.

I'm seeing some good animations from Nigerians but they all have the same problem: TERRIBLE voice acting, painful to watch.

We plan to stick with general thematic issues. Has you've mentioned, its going to be hard to react to fresh news using 3D, because of the obvious reasons. Thanks anyway, i always appreciate your comments

Finding great voice talents is a problem in this country. I actually did the voice for one of the characters, i guess that's why it sounded terrible Please if you know of good voice talents, let me know. we don't mind hiring them for subsequent episodes.

I say you should accentuate the positive, eliminate the negatives, what you lack in talented voice actors make up for in proper sound editing.

No disrespect intended.

I understand your points @ Dolomite. As a consumer or viewer you want the best quality. On the flipside animation is an industry that is not supported at all in Nigeria. I also know Zpixel personally and he's someone who has an eye for detail and is one of those in the business that really wants to push things an deliver great content comparable to anything in the world. I'd disagree with him regarding not being able to find good voice talent. My experience is that it's hard to get the funding to pay for some of the best voice actors around. Especially when you are trying to do a project that's experimental or a pilot. You should see the look on bankers faces when you tell them you need funding for an animation series. It's like an alien just landed in the room.

But of course as a consumer this should mean nothing to you and I understand that. I just wanted to shed a bit more light on the situation. Keep supporting us by watching our work and be patient with us. We're getting there!

Well said Mr Adamu.

Ahhh! At last.

Hilarious!Good Job ! Work more on the curves.

@NWFX
Thanks.
