So I went to check out the animations and the site may be the slowest thing I have ever seen.

[Fallon]

Jesus. What a pain in the balls.

[Chigworthy]

Unendurable lag as of yet.

edit: At least it has a link for people who want to destroy their marriage and betray their children.

[tele7]

The Wesley Snipes one is my fav so far.

[mikeyboy]

Yeah, it's getting hammered. It's not Jeff's fault.

[jauble]

I understand that...I kind of hoped it would have crashed pest style.

[jauble]

It does encourage late night post whoring as I wait though. What kind of hours do you keep mikey?

[Slumbag]

It's moving much faster now. I couldn't get shit earlier, and now, they are all running pretty smoothy. Funny stuff.

[HBox]

They have two animations for the Chickens are stupid bit. One is a genuinely impressive animation by any standard, let alone for this contest. It's fucking 10 light years ahead of the next best animation in the contest.

The other one looked like it was made by a blind man with Parkinson's using MS Paint. How it made it into the competition at all I have no idea.

[jauble]

I did like the kids eating one because when ant responds to opie they show him cleaning a revolver but just for a second.

[jauble]

ok the intro one is pretty cool too

[Slumbag]

I'd have to say the Steve C one has the best animation of any of em'.

Just absoutely incredible.

[JDE]

I still have a few more to see, but the funniest ones so far have been the Wesley Snipes, and the Trinidadian Jimmy, the best animation is harder, I thought the intro, the slaughterhouse and Bear Happy are all excellent.

[jauble]

Does anyone know who won?

[Slumbag]

The Ecstasy of Gold entry.

[MobCounty]

The Wesley one is my fave sofar. Eat with kids was pretty good too.

[NorfCal]

It's running faster now because everyone is asleep.

I thought Conflict Resolution was the most clever one.

[NorfCal]

The Dear Penis one was pretty fucking stupid. A song they played as break filler before they had any ads 4 years ago. The jackass that spent time making that piece of shit needs to DIAF.

[NewYorkDragons80]

Steve the Bear was the best animation. The slaughterhouse-pixar one was great animation, but cokelogic already did that bit. Conflict resolution was also really well done. Anybody else think it looked like Clerks the Animated Series?

[sailor]

Yeah, it's getting hammered. It's not Jeff's fault.

i blame the chinese

[MadMatt]

There are probably hundreds of junior high school marching band web pages that have more bandwidth than the Animationfest site.

What, they didn't expect it to get hammered? :annoyed:

When everyone tries to download every single video at the same time, the site is gonna be f'ed.

Yeah, but it was a major, sponsored event. Cash for bandwidth should have been figured into the equation.

F-it. I'm downloading them from another site now anyway.

[DukeFett]

I'm pretty sure this is how they placed, if I remember right.

1st -- Ecstacy of Gold
2nd -- 3D chicken one
3rd -- Steve the Bear
4th -- Wesley Snipes
5th -- Cokelogic

There's some clips on the site that weren't shown at the show, unless they're old and I missed them before. It was a great show, tons of fun, but yeah some of the "animations" were pretty bad in terms of the effort put into them. They took the cokelogic method of static image w/ moving mouth a bit too far when the image looks like shit to begin with.

[ralphbxny]

It still stinks now!! but better than last night!

It constantly buffering...and not in the good way!

[underdog]

I've only been able to watch one so far, but god damn, those Raaaaamone calls fucking kill me. And I love Cokelogic's animations.

the one that won was really great.

fuck twat the clown was great just cause it is dave

[MightyWill]

Thanks NorfCal! I tried and tried to watch em last night till about 1am and then this morning at 10am and 11:30am and I have yet to get past the middle of the wesley snipes one. I snagged them from the megaupload link and really appreciate it.

I liked them alot, I can't wait to see what the bigwigs they brought to the show thought of it.

[MobCounty]

I finally got to watch them without lag.. Damn, they are great. I loved the variety of the styles too. Each time I watch I find a new favorite.. It would be impossible to choose, I say next time split the winnings over the top 10, instead of picking a first place.

[OGC]

Would it be possible for somebody who has managed to download all of them to make them available as a torrent ?

[Doctor Manhattan]

Did they reject videos or are all 23 on the site the only 23 entries they recieved?

Dear penis should not have been accepted because it has nothing(or at least, so very little) to do with the show, even if they played it during breaks at XM in the early days. Maybe animating the George Carlin bits they used to play all the time would be okay since they talked the fact that they kept playing them during breaks.

[Phild]

Might want to keep this website up for a month so we have time to download...Crap it's going to take all night to watch these. So far they are funny, but man you have to work for it.

[Goatweed]

If someone manages to dl them all, toss em in a zip file and share via rapidshare or some other filehost - screw Apple.

[The Jays]

The worst video I saw was the one where someone just took an episode of Tom Goes To The Mayor and re-dubbed the clown with ESD's Fucktwat audio. Least effort ever. Then then guy had the balls to complain how they left his video out of the competition.

[sailor]

i've been tryin' to stream one of the vids for like 10 minutes. i then downloaded the same vid and it was done in like a minute. seems like it's a problem withthe streaming, not their overall bandwidth. i suggest downloading the vids to view at your leisure.

That's great because at this rate it will take me that much time to watch them. I have been stuck on Fat Bob Kelly for like 30 minutes now, I think the image in burned into my retinas.

Okay this one was great....really like iced tea out my nose funny.

[LordJezo]

It might not be really within whatever contest rules were set up so I won't come in here and post that someone made a torrent with everything in once nice little package of all the animations from the festival and put it out there on the public (arr matey!) tracker sites.

Its blazing fast, or at least thats what my friend told me.

-edit-

But it seems someone else already posted this. So yeah, just get the torrent, there are other ones besides the one linked above that you don't need to log in or sign up for anything, just google opie anthony animation torrent and you'll find it, it's going at at least 250k/s, and thats all this connection can handle.

[Death Metal Moe]

Fuck that website up it's worthless ass.

I got the torrent of all the animations and over on Wackbag they had links to people hosting them on Youtube and the like.

Ecstacy of Gold intro one was the best hands down.

Ahhhh BIG AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! :clap:

[Fallon]

I went with the torrent. Just an easier way to view them.

Some really good work there, I'm impressed at what some people can do with just a little bit.

[underdog]

Trinidadian Jimmy had me fucking dying. God damn, that whole bit is hilarious.

[nukinfuts]

I really like Conflict Resolution that one was my favorite, I think it was genius to turn one of those uncomfortable radio moments into something hilarious visually, now when they get into it on the show I will just think back to lil' Jimmy..flowers and rainbows :wub: I really hope that some of these people actually have jobs in animation because some of these were just amazing.

[docgoblin]

Our seats were off to the right and the sound in that area was terrible. We cut over to the middle section after intermission and the sound was much better. Most everyone did a great job, but Steve From Yellowstone, Ecstasy Of Gold, Eating with Children and Bear Happy were my faves. The Slaughterhouse one was technically amazing but not nearly as funny as Coke Logic's original. The Fucktwat video was funny but seemed a little long. I wasn't into the Dear Penis one at all. I don't even know what bit that was from. All-in-all it was a great night except for the crowd not giving Natterman a chance. I knew as soon as he told that clam joke he was doomed. The other two were very funny. We couldn't hear Roland at all which stunk because I love the tickle bit. Jill seems very cool, and Big A getting a picture with her is awesome... BIG AAAAAAAAA!

[NewYorkDragons80]

A Big AAAAA.... Wheezes with the best of em... A Big AAAAAA

[Chigworthy]

A Big Aaaaaa! Gettin a picture with the Big T's!

[underdog]

I don't know if it's the animation or the actual bit, but I really cannot stop watching TridadianJimmy. It fucking kills me.

"Da mon don't say a word quickly.
Da mon say "ST" words too slowly.
Him go "ST...ST....ST... and nothing come out afta.
Da mon balls smell like Elizabeth, New Jersey."

[NewYorkDragons80]

Having watched them enough, I think Ecstasy of Gold is funny and incredibly creative, but didn't really animate anything from the show and wasn't particularly animated in the first place. Steve the Bear is a great animation, but not as creative as EoG, but much funnier. Conflict management is the best traditional animation in the precedent set by cokelogic. So all 3 of those are worthy and any of them could've won.
