The Earth Guy - Episode 1 // Animated Pilot
Finally it's here!
After months of hard work, I can finally show you the first episode (or pilot episode)of my original cartoon: The Earth Guy!
An introduction into an animated universe and a very extraordinary school.
Inspired by indie animation on youtube and some of my favorite disney cartoons, I started learning animation (for a large part, by myself) to make my dream of having my own cartoon come true. It was definitely not easy, but now that it's finally finished, I am very happy with the result.
Thank you all so much for supporting my animation! It means a lot to me.
I feel I've really grown as an artist and animator through this project.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
And hopefully, I can make this into a full cartoon series in the future!

that change from "i think" to "i am of then opinion that" just to fill words is very relatable
Just stumbled across this, and I must say I'm impressed. I was a bit dubious about how our hero got enrolled in a space school, but the fact that he said the name of the school by accident on a video sent into space is honestly hilarious.

Man, this is so charming and cute. I’m not usually one to be able to tolerate a lot of cringe, but this is one of the exceptions that the cringe seems to add on to the charm of this pilot to the effect it’s amazingly cute to watch. Also the designs of the aliens, they’re also very cute and have their special unique charm to them.

Interesting premise. First we had normal kid transfers to a school of animals, normal kid in a school full of monsters, an anime with a guy going to school with animals and animal girls, and now a normal guy going to school with aliens.
KZread keeps recommending me indie animation pilots and i am LIVING for it!! Theres so many unique and cool story concepts and animation styles!!! I truly love indie animation. They are so creative, charming and filled with passion and love for the art of animation
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. This series has excited me so much that I can't wait for how it will unfold.

I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot, and the characters are wonderfully crafted. I look forward to more episodes and am intrigued by how the diverse cultures and customs of each character will unfold. Imagining Neill struggling to grasp the aliens' customs and making amusing misinterpretations adds an entertaining twist to the storyline.
As a sci-fi/comedy writer (currently working on a massive sci-fi stageplay), I've gotta say - YES! Excellent writing, witty dialogue, loads of references and tropes and trope-subversions, just rolling on like a runnaway .. sci-fi .. thing. Good set-up, and I'm hoping we see more of his Earth buddy and nemesis. Shame to lose them too early. And yes: the overarching trope of usual-team-of-weird-ass-kids-in-highschool is rather tired (especially in Anime!) but I'm hoping you're too trope-aware to fall into the same old wheel-ruts. There are good signs. Stay original!

Tropes and cliches aren't inherently always _bad,_ though, ya know? There's a reason they're called _tropes_ in the first place.
@GedMaybury23
6 ай бұрын
Oh yes, true, true. And every trope is build on the previous one, arcing backwards through the history of humans telling each other stories. Each culture have their own unique variations, of course - but often with remarkable parallels! I can look back through my dozens of books and spot all the places I automatically replicated the tropes I'd absorbed over my early years, and even now I'm "trope-aware" enough to spot myself doing it yet again. And readers/viewers need familiar rails. Trying to avoid them is a pathway to madness, and a likely pathway to failing to engage any audience at all! As I remarked, the creators of this animation do seem VERY trope-aware, and I'm seeing them already lamshading or otherwise subverting the most common. ( I'm an avid reader of TV Tropes: always delighted to learn of more. )

This pilot seems promising, I enjoyed it a lot! Please continue this passion ‼️ it is looking great so far :)
This is a great pilot because, it introduces our main character and his new found environment instead of a bunch of lore being dumped into the audience at once. My favorite part is watching the green aliens play with the earth objects. Also the school program being called “iguess” made me chuckle. The characters are so distinct from one another and have fun designs. I found it interesting that Neil hates going to his high school and only enjoys life being home streaming but he still wants to save earth anyways. Very cute story that seems like a light-hearted adventure, that doesn’t take itself too seriously and just wants to have fun.
I get some Crash Nebula vibe for the setting, which i adore. The characters are compelling and all unique to look at. The start was slowish, but when the school was the main stage, my attention was there and then some.
I stumbled by this on accident and I AM SO GLAD I WATCHED!! It’s hilarious, just my kind of humor, and I love Neil and all the jokes. Really looking forward to seeing more!!!
Looking forward to more stuff from you in the future, keep up the good work!
I really like ED. She's already my favorite character. ❤❤❤

There certainly could be some improvements, but this was still an absolute delight to watch. You did well finding VAs that fit the characters and their personalities, there were plenty of silly moments that felt genuine and made me giggle. It's a story idea that you don't see floating around often, and it makes me interested enough to *want* to see more of this universe and how the it works, not to mention seeing how this new friend group ends up developing together. The orientation video was a nice touch as well. A little detail, for sure, but there was something delightful about seeing basically an extraterrestrial version of the 'cringe orientation' videos you hear about so often. The only critique I really have is on the sound mixing; While it's good, especially for something presumably done on your own, I was listening to this through speakers. So there were times where the dialogue was nearly impossible to hear or understand without the subtitles, or it was simply drowned out by the sound effects. Sound mixing isn't an easy thing to perfect, however, and you can still hear improvements in the later parts of the episode. But aside from that, it was good. I enjoyed it, and you did really well! You should be proud of yourself; With time, you'll only grow more. ^^
