"Great animation, but poor design"
date: July 6, 2003
It was good, but you expected this to win a Star Wars contest? Come on. It's anime style. Note that I like Anime, but you even bothered using the CLICHE anime style. That's like, zero originality at all.
Also the screen was INSANELY small. You know that size does, make a difference right? Heck, size can make the difference betweena good and bad movie. Even lord of the rigns would be poor if it was the size of your movie. Your movie might even become super good if you make it a bit bigger.
Anyway you had lots of problems but lots of great moments made up for it. But it didnt make them up enough to leave a good imperssion in my head.
For example: Yoda's ear twitching with that happy face. That's cute, yah it really is. But now its going against the whole cool feature.
Your cliche anime style of drawinbg went against your whole "stylized" animation style. Pretty eyes on Chubaka just seem not only awkward, but no Chubaka.
And while the winner of the contest had a theme, yours was more of a fan trailer of good scenes from the movie. Just doesnt work that way.
