I feel Henry's SMP was very impressive especially considering the limited amount of time he had to produce his show. Usually TV shows similar to Henry's have multiple people working on one single episode simultaneously. Henry did all of the animation himself using the software iMovie. Being a film major, I can relate to Henry's commitment and effort placed on this SMP. To create a show from scratch with over 30 minutes of animation is quite impressive for a college student.
I feel Henry really has a piece of work that he can be proud of. While there are some minor things that Henry needs to flesh out ( some audio and transitions), I believe if he had more time he could have a real chance at creating a finalized piece of work.
I think the strongest aspect of Henry's SMP is his unique drawling style and characters. The show defiantly has a unique look. It reminds me a lot of South Park; focusing more on the narrative and dialogue of the scenes rather than extremely detailed animations. Additionally his characters are what drives the story. All 4 of the friends bring a unique aspect to the show and create a group thats fun to watch. They all have their individual quirks and flaws and gel together vary well. Besides the funny dialogue exchanged between these friends, my favorite aspect of the show was that all his characters are animals. This was really funny and gives a unique spin on the show allowing viewing to enter a new world where animals are the humans. Overall, I really liked Henry's SMP and hope he continues to work on creating a finished product to show any potentinal animators/companies in the future.
