Reviews for "WHOOKOS Beta: Epis 1"

Sigh

I don't know what this is trying to be. I kinda feel like your target audience is either 1. just your friends, or 2. people who are already pretty familiar with this series and the concept. I'm neither of these people so I just felt alienated, not understanding who any of these characters are (they really aren't distinguished well except for Rat seeing as he's the focus). Pretty much none of the jokes worked for me either; this whole cartoon seems like a way to publicise the injokes you have with your friends or something, and it doesn't work. In fact, a high school comedy setting where the author inserts himself into the cartoon with his friends just seems like the most unoriginal thing ever, man.

But it could've been saved if it had good character designs, drawings or animation. The only differences between the characters are their hair and clothes, they're otherwise all the exact same template. Size, head shape, facial features (especially since you've emitted most of them). I mean god damn, even the shots outside the school where you just copy and paste the same grey character walking past the scene 3 times. It's just lazy.

But the biggest problem throughout all of this was the sound design. The voices were all bad quality and quiet as hell, or would suddenly turn really loud. And it's pretty frustrating that I had to mute this computer to stop the music on the menu screen while I write this review. I guess that's not something I should mark you down for, but you should consider stuff like this in future.

The ending made me kinda almost smirk, I'll give you that. But you need to either make this a lot funnier or a lot better animated and drawn (preferably both, though).

hilariousness

this video is awesome. it reminds meh of me and mah friends a little bit. out of them all i would be a combination of a couple of thuh people. i have thuh smarts of BB yet thuh personality of Rat( right down to thuh anime and dont like fighting)

-Pantylad

sweet vid

I'll admit that was really cool i even notice that you replay one part form your older video with the kendo sticks i think i got that right were rat was suppose to hold it but hits you scoots in the head heh i laugh seeing how you all did this and i will say that the animation was really smooth and seen you didn't change your art style much though i seen it was a bit different but great job as any of your vids and i support all of you guys work so keep up and hope to see what you can cook up this time ^_^

Where's Zelda UO?

Look, Scoot, I love your work. And I think that WHOOKOS will be a great series. But there is one thing that I think that needs to come to mind. WHAT HAPPENED TO ZELDA: UNKNOWN ORIGINS??!!? I loved that series, and I cannot believe that you would end it, and why would you leave us on a cliffhanger like that? Please reconsider and resume Zelda UO. I'm sure I and many other fans of Unknown Origins would reatly appreciate it.

Sorry Scoot, I love WHOOKOS, but I miss Zelda UO

Giving my 2 cents.

Hmmmm where to begin. I've always enjoyed Scoots work, what with his art on DA and the Zelda UO series. The animation, while it seemed smooth with me, it gave me the feeling that some bits were rushed. The voice acting, was decent, though there were a lot of different sounds, like when Swiffer came out of the class room and said "Argh!" And "I know" While later on when he told Rat to grip it, it was a clear change in sound. In my view, I loved Rat the most, his character was silly, so he did his lines in a silly tone.
The story. Not much to say about that. Rat was challenged by an over-reactive jock to a fight and his friends try to train him to at least put up a good fight. Basically anything that happens in school these days :3
The tweening was decent, not perfect but hey, nothing is rarely perfect.
While the voice acting was well done and the actors put feeling into it, the lip syncing could have been better. And when J.T. was hit with a shoe, he said "This wuss actually came" Was that a screw up there? Or did you want him to at least say something. Kind of urked me there. In my opinion there, should have just had him walking then get hit. but hey, your story, do what you want.
The humor in this...decent. I grinned a few times and maybe laughed out a little, but nothing to make me burst out laughing.
The music. Hey, I love Less Than Jake, and in my opinion fit the story and settings perfectly, props to that man.
I also want to say this, when they were playing Whoosh...that hill looks fatally steep to be jumping off of x.x; but thats just in my view. The hot tub scene....eh, some might be a little discomforted by it, but I wasent, I've been in hot tubs with others before. We were just chilling, just no crotch grabbing ^^
There were a few mistakes, while they really have no impact on the whole flash, should be looked at to avoid some trollers. But at the scene where BBD said "We need the film that soon." And Rat jumped in and said that they should play Whoosh, you forgot to change the color of the text. :P
Basically a blind man could tell the animation is completly different from A.E. while in my opinion, shows your best potential there. A.E. looks amazing and I cant wait to see what you do with that.
Whookos, yeah I'm gona watch it, I'm a fan of Scoots work, so I'll watch what he puts out there.

So overall
Story: 6/10
Animation: 7/10
Music :10/10
Voices: 8/10
Humor: 6/10
Overall: 7.5/10 (Yes 7.5 I dont care if its not on the site.)
A decent start, a few mistakes and off puts, but overall decent. Looking forward to the next episodes of both WHOOKOS and A.E.
