Reviews for What Are We Fighting For

[Ragnarokia]

I will say I loved that.

Was it 3D? It has been a while since I have seen that kind of program used and it was amazing.
I loved the overall way everything was used and i can see the effects you used as well, that was very well animated and it would be great to see if you could use that again for another animation.

Could have spent the time over extra mounths though so that it did not clash with your rest and work, but another would be a great thing to see.
Also yes you did get the message across and I left thinking it was a very good animation rather than it could have been better.

I am not sure how the program still works as I have not used it in a long time, but you could try and add an image over the top of the basic bodies as there was one point where you could see the person bending and his back was in segments.

Over all a great animation.

i like the feeling

I like the feel of the movie, the blur and all the special effects did a lot to it, and i thought it was great

what i didn't like:
1. you allready heard it, but your animations do suck, look at real life material and try to do it in 3D exactly the same
2. the models of the people are allmost the standard bi-peds from max, i'm sure you altered them, but it's still way to obvious
3. i liked your camera poses, but you really messed it up with the plane at the end

still, i think you did a great job, and to answer your question 'what are we fighting for?' probably oil i guess

raven9892002 responds:

thanks for taking the time to watch and give your feedback

1. yes i already heard that my animations suck and this is something that i am going to focus on improving next time round, probably by using, as you said, real life reference material.
2. your right, the characters are pretty much the standard max biped with a helmet stuck on their head and given a black material, but i feel this helps give the feeling that these are just average people stuck into a horrible situation, so i stick by my choice, however my next animation will probably need more detailed characters so the chances are this is the last time you will see them from me
3. and the angles used in the plane part, yea i really did screw up there and it almost ruins the whole thing, but i just wanted to get this done before i move to Austria so i just had to throw something together to throw on the end there and i just didn't give it the attention it deserved.

and your probably right about fighting for oil there

whoa, great choices

You've definitely put a lot of time into that, I can see. Great job. Perfect choice of theme and this is an awesome song. I loved it.

Your backgrounds and effects and blurs were all great. The characters could use some work, but that's ok. It's just their movements need to be a little more realistic such as when they run, only their legs move instead of really having their entire bodies into it - arms, head, shoulders, back. But that was great. Awesome job, keep up the good work

raven9892002 responds:

thanks, I'm just glad to have my work appreciated and more realist animation is going to be a huge focus for me next time around

[saltovergray]

well done.

it was very well, but i would like to ask in your next animation could you make the movements a little more realistic? please? but overall, good job with the music and graphics.

raven9892002 responds:

as i have said before, the animation is something i really want to focus on and make more realistic.

thanks for watching and glad you liked it overall

You've got a point

This did make me think about the war in Iraq, and why we are over there.

good job on the sound, graphics, and animations.

the only thing i could ask you to add to make it even better is blood when people get shot.

but good job ^.^

raven9892002 responds:

my goal here was to get you to think and it looks like i managed to get you to do that.
