they probaly say its too long because they want the next episode to come sooner.i think u shud make it at least 14 minutes.actually,just make it as long as u want.its all up to u on how long it is.

The things people complain about these days..... I agree, It's ridiculous
10 minutes is more then enough time for one part in my opinion. I guess Some people just want to see more in one episode because they like the series so much.
On the other hand, you also get the whiney people who can't sit still long enough to watch something more then 10 minutes long.

What you really have to look into is how many are for long episodes against how many are for shorter episodes.
There may be a time length that both groups enjoy, but usually that's not the case.

For the time being, I think you should just make episodes as long or as short as you want them to be. After all, it's your series...

Anyways....
Good luck with the rest of your series! :D

Dude, screw what anyone says to you, and work on story. I would honestly rather spend my time watching a minute long video, so long as it had a good story, than a fifteen minute video thats story SUCKS! It is style over substance in a heart-beat. Think of it this way-would you rather have a metric ton of pillow feathers, over a pound of solid gold?

LOL, no one knows what they want! But, in all seriousness, I'd say twelve mintues is ideal. Enough to do what you want, and keep people happy.

Also, if your having a good time writing your script, KEEP GOING! Don't let something so stupidl as how long the thing is keep your inspiration down. This coming from a writer, let the story take you where it wants to go. You don't think os the story, the story just uses your own creative talent and mind to work itself into existance. Once, I had planned to write a ten page story, and it ended up being around thirty because the story practically took over me and forced me to continue!

So, in conclusion my fellow artist, you should definatley stick to style over substance, but if the story needs to add an extra minute or two, give in to it. Planned storys that you painstakingly work to keep short SUCK in comparison to a story that takes YOU, the writer, on the journey. I hope I've answered your question and you reflect on what I've taught you on this day.

Sonictherocker 2008-07-02 20:25:22

Ya this kind of complaints must be a real pain in the ass like the other thing u said before, the "release dates", for me it's kinda difficult to say how long is enough cuz I liked all the episodes lenght, but I'd say the lenght of Ep. 4 would be good but it's up to u man keep up the good work

shanik 2008-07-03 13:46:44

Seriously,I think 10 minutes is good.

Strikester64 2008-07-03 22:03:31

As a fan of your work, I can say that nothing is too short or too long, I think it's about right, actually. Because yeah, before it was short when you started LoZ FSM, but it became a fantastic series to like, no matter how long or short it is. I enjoyed it a lot, and waiting for the next eps is what I like doing lol. because out of all my fav flash artists, your one who would continue what you made, and it really is admirable :)! So in closure, nothing is too long or too short, it's always just right. And as far as the length of the eps go, do what you feel is right with the eps, make it as long or short as you want! From one of your fans, Strikester64

wierdman51 2008-07-03 22:18:58

inbeetween 10 and 13 minuites long; a lot of peope on newgrounds have short attention spans

spm010 2008-07-04 03:04:24

i think it should be long i think 12 to 15 min

rosenhacker 2008-07-04 16:18:09

As long as its over 6 minutes, I'll be happy
However, the problem is how long they take to come out
How are you coming with episode 6?
What percent have you finished?

rizaadon007 2008-07-04 22:02:22

personally i like the fact that they're getting longer. that means more funny stuff for me to enjoy!

i can't wait to see what happens w/ Red link... :D

R5-Reject 2008-07-05 05:03:10

15 Min. is perfect and thats how it should stay ^^

nikken6 2008-07-05 10:43:24

well, i think its just foolish if people say they want longer, but when they get it longer, they want it shorter. my thought is that they should be 14 mins long.
what you really should focus on is Funny jokes. like: "they work for the KFC!!" part.
that is parts you never get tired. you should make it like every episodes is something special. not 3 long episodes have the same jokes. that is why i love episode 2.1 where they get stuck in the japanese version. it's classic, its funny.
to get it simple: story longer and more funny. More jokes. more variation.
i love your series and your flashes. keep it up.

dteice 2008-07-05 19:06:34

um an average short episode for TV shows are 15 minutes counting commercials...my opinion you should make episodes that are like an hour but of course that would be a ton of animationa dn crap so about 15-20 is good enough

SwordGuy107 2008-07-05 20:52:52

I don't really care about length, but for something like what you have going, I would try to aim for a 9-12 minute frame

Leedove 2008-07-06 13:56:00

I think there fine the way they are. I love the series.

wierdman51 2008-07-07 11:21:40

guys think aabout what u are saing to long and it might take him a whole lot longer tan i should take him too short and we ont laugh our buts off of

e-vil 2008-07-07 14:26:13

i think the longer the better, and i liked the length of ep. 5, dont make them shorter

evilmelia666 2008-07-09 22:02:18

I would say 12 - 14 minutes

rosiea184 2008-07-10 03:24:31

I thought episode five was fine. I didn't think it was too long.
Same with episode four, I didn't think it was too short, just the right length to keep me laugh.
You shouldn't worry about making it 'long enough'. If you got enough of a story for a good episode full of laughs, then great.
10 minutes at least could probably satisfied a lot of people though, at least I think so..
Some people, like me, just want your episodes full of the funny entertainment they have, no matter how long. ^^
