This is a great idea

You are all onto the right idea here, it seems that all you have is a froendly competition to see who is the best and I respect that. In that light I would like to post my reviews, and also tell why these people won in my book.

First: Walking Cycle: Winer-Vincoid Why? Well even though his animation was a bit on the odd looking side he showed a natural gate in the legs, the only part missing was counter balance by arm swing but thats a minor detail.

Second: Jumping Cycle: Winner- Chillyphilly This is one of the best works on here, simply because he/she studied studied their physics. The jump and hang were done excellently. Also having sound does help even in a minor way.

Third: Explosion Cycle: Winner- Chillyphilly This one was a toss up between Chilly and Darkredemption, both captured the essence of an explosion, but Chilly hit it on the head a little better.

All those who participated in this did an excellent job and should be proud that they can animate like that. I hope that those who didn't win do not become depressed about not winning, the fact is this sort of thing makes you better. As long as it it conducted in an honorable way and there aren't sore losers everybody wins. Good luck to all contestants in next weeks release.

Interesting

Quite liked the whole idea here, so let's see.

Walking Cycle: Vincoid. I liked the incorporation of extra fat on the character, it looked fairly natural and showed that the animator could work with some more difficult concepts.

Jumping Cycle: Masterswordsman. By far the hardest to judge, I liked this one because the bending of the legs was very well done, and the movement was fairly natural (although the spinning was far-fetched, it was a nice touch). I thought McJesus's was quite good, but was disappointed at the lack of an upper body, it had potential. ChillyPhilly's looked as if it could be part of a story, which was interesting, but unnecessary for the project. It actually inhibited him because the camera did not put the focus on the jump, rather the suspense of whether the character would make it or not.

Explosion Cycle: ChillyPhilly. Can't argue with the masses here, the details on this one were damn good. I also quite liked Decade's explosion, had a soft feel to it, could be very effectively used in animations where that type of feel is wanted.

What he said xD

I vote just as Xecusion (below) voted. If by chance he's knocked off the screen after so many reviews....
Week 1 - Burning Bunnies
Weeks 2 and 3 - both Chilly Philly

hahhhhh awesum

Week 1---Burning Bunnies
Week 2---ChillyPhilly
Week 3---ChillyPhilly

woooooooooooooooo.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!

HERE ARE THE AUTHORS I THINK HAVE THEIR PRIZE WORTH IT:

Week 1---Burning Bunnies
Week 2---ChillyPhilly
Week 3---ChillyPhilly!!

And Hereby I demand that ChillyPhilly become the NG Demolition Specialist for having such a incredible Explosion Cycle!! :D

Good Job to all the authors!!
