Pretty Cool
I loved the animation style, but you shou,ld have used real people instead of stick men. The sound was a bit fuzzy in some parts, but overall excellent!
Reviews for "Dark Realm Ep1 Pt1"
Impressive graphics
Excellent graphics for the scenery, probably the best i've seen on this site but the use of stickmen really bugs me. You guys could have used people, your abilities show that.
Please drop the stickmen.
WHY DID YOU USE STICKS...
This movie has incredible visuals, great animation, sound, etc... but it I guarantee it would have gotten around a 4.4-4.5 average had you used regular people instead of damn sticks. I mean, you do an awesome job drawing/animating everything else, you just don't do people well? Well good series, but I would love to see a conversion from sticks to people in later episodes!

I feel your pain, however apart from the tributes to xiao xiao style, this was a sort of attempt to try something different, but mainly with the fights, we had a local Tae kwon do school preform the fight sequences, and we motion captured them. To maintain the level of movement but also have fully drawn characters would take far to long, it took long enough with stickmen. Bottom line, use full drawn characters means loosing ALOT of the smooth movement (which is frame by frame at 18fps)
Out of this world visuals
Gave me that ol' flashback, game feel. sweet visuals made me totally overlook its stick appeal. Maybe I'm just sick but I just felt I needed to see alittle blood. not buckets, but some. but yeah... I'm sick. Great work!
Jaffry responds:
There was gonna be blood but I guess we never got round to it.
best...preloader...ever
do you pride yourself on tripping your viewers out before and a little bit during your movie? cuz that was fucking awsome!!
