Reviews for Shades of Grey Ep. 1

[HarryHunt]

Pretty good

As usual, there are pros and cons. Here they are:

Pros:
- Interesting idea to do it in 'Shades of Grey'
- Good artwork and animation
- Interesting plot

Cons:
- Bad choice of music (especially the techno tune, doesn't fit the story at all)
- No voices (I read your comment and have to agree that it's difficult to find good ones, but in general, I'd say anything is better than "text only")
- Inconsistent art. Your main character appears to be 3D rendered and then traced somehow. You hide it well, but in some scenes it's quite obvious. The other characters seem like they have been made in Flash, which isn't a bad thing, but the quality of animation isn't conistent.
- Some of the camera angels you use don't work very well because your don't have a backdrop for your action.

Seems like a lot of cons, but I still think your movies is good and worth watching.

SirGaryColeman responds:

I disagree with you on the music and voices, but other than that I can agree. I will try to improve on those in the future.

Uh

At first all i could think was "God that sea looks crap". I have to be honest, the graphics arent that great, you can obviously draw and animate but not quite combine the both. Also i understand u want things in black and white, but why cant u have any shades of grey? It looks like an unfinished concept for a story. But again being honest, i want more. The story is intriging and i trust from your unhoned talent that your animation skills will improve so keep it up and listen to the advice people give you

Two words... Final... Fantasy

I dont know if you meant to have it like Final Fantasy X, but the way the guys standing there talking to him and hands him the sword and everything, it just reminds me of Auron and Tidus opening scenes in FFX.
Cool flash tho :)
