always good to see new stuff from you. looks great, you're getting better, too. looks like you accidentally added an extra underscore at the beginning of your embed tag, but sasha came to the rescue

Wow, talk about smooth. Great job, the lightning is a bit off sometimes, if you fix that, it'll be technically perfect. What was the light source btw?

Basically just a lamp. I always have trouble with lighting because I don't really have a good workspace. Also, it didn't help that I filmed it in front of a window (which I tried covering up)

The animation is really smooth; you can see the dedication to taking enough frames in-between the movements to make it so fluid. I like the way you use his arms and poses to give him extra personality and lively-ness too. Haha I loved the little red money bag, it's so cute! Actually so are the rich dudes, with the way you made the eyes like rolled snakes to indicate closed eyes and the way they waddle a bit as they walk. The joke overall made me giggle too as the robot is revealed to have been malicious and not actually malfunctioning. It's like one of those good story telling moments that drives the curiosity of the audience and gives them the reward of having figured out the prank haha. I also like the designs overall for these "alien" characters...it's simple but layered well, so it has a charming and cute feel. Great work and great animation!

You know CVG I didn't think the robot was pranking the alien.
The first thing that comes to mind when someone asks me that is all those huge *unit of currency* spam emails that I keep getting

In my mind, the robot may've been trying to
1.protect its wearer from a scam or
2.setting him up to see if he would object [think for itself]

I thought it LOL'd because
1. it realized that the alien could've gotten the million dollars and
2. the alien didn't think for itself at all and lost out [by the way the robot LOL'd]

Haha, well, you both got parts of it.
It was supposed to be a mix between a spam email and the robot pranking the guy.

Originally I was going to have the guy be asked if he wanted $5.00, but that wasn't very sketchy, so I changed it to be one meeeeeleeon. Since the guy makes decisions based on whatever the robot tells him, the robot knew he could prank the guy into not taking it. Then when it turned out to be true, the robot laughed because the guy lost out.
