I think your movie was pretty good. It looked like you planned it bubt it's pretty funny. You should have focused more on the pencil and drawing in my opinion!

Great music, good coverage, and not a bad curious-montage when our hero tries checking out the pencil's magic powers...But the pace could be quicker, and the ultimate animation is a bit short. Lot of potential if that were built up a bit (think TAKE ON ME meets country-western...).

How great!! Wouldn't it be wonderful if a magic pencil that could erase anything that we could draw. How imaginative! Nice flow of visuals. Some audio problems.

Nice effects and animation. Good concept. Music could've changed though.

This video is very good. I liked the idea of the pencil and the effects were fantastic but the sound was bad at times.

it was a good movie. it would of been better and more compelling if you didnt show him walking around the house so much. it had nothing to do with the story and was too long.

I like the animation, the beginning bored me, the end was pretty typical. honestly it wasnt Horrible, but you could went 100 ways with it.

the video over all i thought was good, i think you could have probably played around with more of a music selection but you used alot of good transitions and the video flowed nicely.

Enjoyed the animation and some of the shots on the stairways. Ending was not much of a surprise but that's my deal.

Ooh, I liked it! :) The music was very cool--ambient, yet fitting. I also like the fact that you used a fade transition when things disappeared when you could have chosen to go the route of the classic jump-cut disappearance act. The fade is more fitting.

I liked the way you introduced the pencil, almost making it into an object with a personality. It was a little vague how the pencil all of the sudden ended up in someone's house. I liked how things disappeared when he drew them, but realistically, wouldn't someone get the hint after their hat and coke can were gone? Maybe he wanted to disappear. It was creative how he turned into a cartoon at the end. It looks good and its entertaining to watch, but I thought this movie was a little too vague.

Nice job. The pace was a bit slow at the beginning, but it got very cool once the drawing began. The animation was a nice touch.
