"the struggle"
date: February 13, 2005
nice little film,,, sound fine. i loved your quick cuts,,, especially as they involved no swords... lots of movement i was only just holding on.. and the slow intro followed by manic chase,,, watched it twice to get a better grip... hadn't realised the two roof top shadow characters were our main players till second time round... infact the whole roof top drama became more clear second time round... but it was nice enough to watch twice and i like over laying your simple narative with wider implications of the 'struggling' artist,, think that makes it a good storey for me. i direct critique toward that roof top scene and toward your backgrounds throughout,,, i don't think your characters were evident in those roof top 'phantoms', and your city scapes were a bit simple spindly... maybe i just don't like the thin stroke size in these drawings or it was the dead plalette... my taste... but i think they need nore attension at least in the later scenes...(i understand you may have wanted to contrast the characters with their surrounds but....)
any way, thanks good little film.
