Reviews for StarCraft: Alliance

Wow, don't stop making these, but take your time!

Wow, this is a really great series.
The Good
*Excellent 3D effects, I think you're either really familiar with it now or you've mastered it.
*Great plot, it's as if this animation is another expantion pack of missions, it's like the real game.
*You really use all the units present, arbiters, carriers, SUVs, etc.
*The zealots were fantastically built, same with the hydralisks and zerglings.
The Bad
*The faces of the terran could use some work, it might not be your thing, but if you want a truly flawless animation you can't lack in any division
*The hydralisks were well built but i thought that it was only the skeleton, lots more detail can be added, to the zerglings as well. I find that staring at them head on in that one battle scene almost made me unfamiliar with them, it's not a big part but it could use some work.
*Slow...ranting...every great story line has to have it, it can't just be all action, maybe tone down the talking just a slight bit?
*Also add more gore, keep true to the game :P
Overall great animation, keep up the excellent work of improving your animation every episode you make.

I should've got most of the talking out of the way in this episode :) I'm going to try and stop being a lazy ass and make more things to look at in the talking bits in future episodes too. I'll add some guts to future episodes too - I was trying to keep the gore down, but you're right - SC is gore central really, I just got used to it!

Great work again...

Pros: These episodes keep getting better and better. It's refreshing finding something with an actual plot rather than a pointless animation because in my opinion half of what makes a good flash is a good storyline. The fact that you took something that some many people love and put your own twist on it is awesome. Great job with the animation, the 3-d animation was superb as usual. The 3-D hydralisks and zerglings looked great way better than in episode 2. I dig the music, especially the guitar solo one during the space fight.

Cons: Here's some constructive criticism for you. During the hydralisk/zergling battle, it seemed the amount of gore was lacking. I mean, even in the game they blow up in a bloody mess. Remember, this is a starcraft tribute, the least you could do is create that same gorey likeness. In fact, the only blood I really noticed in the movie cam from the ghosts mouth when he was battling the zealot in the beginning. Another flaw I noticed with the animation was the amount of lip movement. It seems you got a little lazy with that seeing how the viewers don't see lip movement until scene 4. The sound quality was nice but the voices still need a little work... something seemed missing... I'm thinking maybe a variety of different sounding voices and possibly a girl voice (medic, valk, or dropship?). Think of how different the voices sound in the actual game and compare that to your movie.

Over all, awesome series. I put you in my favorites. Thanks for doing this I was waiting for someone to do a starcraft tribute for a long time. Keep it up the good work I can't wait to see the next one!

LogFish responds:

Point taken about the gore - look forward to my sad efforts at blood and guts (which are suprisingly hard to animate!) in future episodes! hehe. Thanks for that great review and handy pointers
