Reviews for "JackKnife"

Incredible!

I liked how smooth the animation was! Those bikes are AWESOME!

The graphics where nice & well detailed without being overkill.

Was this supposed to have a plot or was this just an introduction?

This was high quality work! Thank you for an entertaining movie! I appreciate the time & effort that was put into this.

Beautiful, for the most part

Let me start by saying, I loved the style and art direction of this video. Many parts were drawn very well, and the music fit just perfectly. A great job overall.

That being said, there were a few points that took away from the whole thing. That first bit with the bleeding guy made no sense in the whole piece, and even less when you see him alive all of 5 seconds later. Also, watching the rider change positions on the bike looked awkward, perhaps keeping his movements minimal and letting the bike be the centre would have been more effective. Lastly, the act of waving the flag of an enemy base in the air only makes sense if:
1) the base is actually conquered, which it didn't appear to be, and;
2) there's actually someone else to see the flag being waved. The inclusion of someone seeing the man's victory would have been much more meaningful at the end.

Yes! These are some of the things I was worried about, I guess I took some liberties when I told the story since I knew it. Your review is fantastic, I'll keep these things in mind when Im telling my next story.

hails yes!

Very cool movie! Everything in this movie was well done and I loved the flag animation a lot! I think it would have been more awesome if it had sound effects but it was still a good animation! +5!

gorgeous

this was really really well done, just beautiful, with lots of effort put into it, i'm sure.

Very Stylish

You seem to have an eye for cinema. That or you are naturally born with a stylized eye when it comes to animating. Your camera angles work fantastically and the animating made it all believable. You ever worked in film? Or wanted to? You should. Fantastic score to go along with the movie too, and the style was quite nice. I can't say it was to original though as it seemed final-fantasy-esque.
But fantastic skills as an animator as as a cinematographer. Keep it up and I'll be watching.
