Terrible rip off
The author says he didn't know Mask existed. Which is why, I'm sure, some scenes have the exact same timing and angles as those in Mask, right? Yes, that makes sense.
It's a rip off, everybody gets it, don't even try to deny it stupid. Just makes you look like a moron. It's like you saying that World of Warcraft path 1.9 is a different game then 1.10 because of a few minor differences. Also, your art style is copying Mask to a much more inferior degree.
You can believe what you want call me or whoever what you want. Its funny. Thats what reviews are. Im not denying anything. Just cause your acusing doest mean its true. Its fine. Its only a practice anyways. So you can runt and grunt all you want
Hmmm... Something seems familiar....
Alright. I haven't been on NG for a loooong time and I wouldn't even know about this movie if someone hadn't told me.
I would first like to say that even though this animation was blatantly copied off of actually two of my own, I am not really bothered. I am in fact honored to think that someone would like my shitty work enough to copy it.
That being said, it is important for us to realize that copying in the world of art and animation is basically the dumbest thing that can be possibly done. It is unfair to the original artist (though personally, I don't care that much....yet here I am typing this review...) and it permeates the stench of unoriginality. I assumed that you were a younger artist so copying would have been more forgivable. However, after just checking your account, it turns out that you are 18, and a year older than I am.
Now let's go into the examples to back up my claim that even though you have "not seen Mask before", you have managed to copy it.
First is a minor offense. The first shot featuring a silhouetted character and a leaf or something blowing in the wind. There is a similar shot right at the beginning of Mask.
Next, we go to an animated segment after the text says "to be king." The long haired dood swings the sword horizontally, a shot taken directly from Mask.
Then there's a bit where one of the guys' sword gets knocked from his hand and lands in the ground, similar to what happens in Mask.
Then there's a segment with some hand to hand fighting. One of the guys kicks vertically into the other guy, a shot which is taken not from mask but from my other crappy animation Green Brown.
The guy then falls to the ground just like the guy in Mask. He then rolls over backwards, another bit taken from Mask.
There are several shots of the two guys' faces as well as a shot of a grin, similar to Mask.
Finally, one of the guys runs by the sword sticking up in the ground, and grabs it, another shot taken directly from Mask.
Don't believe me? Just click on my user name and find the links to Mask and Green Brown from my profile thing.
So yeah. I'm not particularly upset but it's good for people to know something that has been copied when they see it. Good luck with your animation. I hope you do well in your future.
Rip Off
Animation was nice but you fucking stole all ideas from Jeff.
horrid
As stated, your horrid, NG search "mask" as others have said, and play them at the same time, almost identicle. Learn2create.
