Reviews for "Jerricco: Episode I"

Great Direction.

This was a great film. The directing was fantastic and I especially enjoyed the attention to details, like the bullet hole through the cowboy hat, and even the way water kicks up when the helicopter blades come up out of the ocean.

Here's some constructive criticism, just me nitpicking. Feel free to ignore. :) Your compositions are a little flat. You're using some generic gradients, but a lot of shapes are simple, one color fills. I think you'd notice a considerable raise in quality if you broke down your fills into subtle two or three color shades.

The plot is a little cliche... it reminds me on a Steven Segal movie. I personally think the "slow motion gun attack" has been done to death. But hey, it's your movie, you can do whatever you like with it. :)

Otherwise, this is a damned good flick. A lot of NG users could learn a thing or two about directing and planning from this film.

I'm a rediculous perfectionist, that's why there's alot of detail. I'm still trying to improve on my skills so thanks for the graphics advice. Yeah the plot's pretty cliche but heck, it's fun and it'll get better. I know the slow-mo is overused but it's still cool so i tried to do something at least a little different with it. Thanks Tons!!!

Needle's review had some great points.

I enjoyed this enough to watch it through. It had very good scene-to-scene directing, enough for it to overcome its somewhat cliche'd concept and artistic flaws. Yes, two tones of shading to the colors would help. drawn shading, not gradient fill.

My favorite part was the ship exploding, you drew that well in angle and perspective. Thumbs up for that.

I have a plot-related question. Why were the bad guys standing around and not trying to evacuate if there was a bomb timed to go off in a minute? That confused me, unless all the bad guys didn't know about the bomb, aside from the leader in the white pimp suit and his pilot.

Perhaps a little text intro or something could have cleared up that part of the plot.

Just some constructive advice. Entertaining little movie.

jerricco-team responds:

I'll keep that shading advice in mind in the future. I wanted to make it sort of a actiony intro with an unsure story line, that's why there's no text intro and so I won't say what the plot really is *taps nose*.
Thanks alot for the review!

Great Work.

I loved the animation, the gore, and the story plot. Nice work.

jerricco-team responds:

Thanks, and the plot will thicken ;)

Awesome

That was great, the aniamtion was some of the best ive ever seen and the whole thing was put together with style.

Only complaint... the main character looks a bit dorky.

jerricco-team responds:

DORKY!?!......yeah you're right, heh. I loosely based his appearence on me...what does that say about me then?.....yeah im a nerd, but proud of it! Thanks alot for the review.

pretty cool

good animation, not enough one man kill 'em alls aywhere

jerricco-team responds:

I like the stealthyness more than the running around, but if more episodes follow they might be more of that ;)
Thanks alot.
