Reviews for "Somnium"

WOW pretty cool

I liked it simple the best bit was when he woke up the graphics there were soo so real lol
not really my cuppa tea to be honest
but it looked awesome I think you used the linear and radial fill a bit too much though solid colours sometimes work better (y)

Sometimes Amazing

...and sometimes not. The animation was always smooth and well-executed, but the artwork swung between incredible and awful (could definitely have lived without the first section, and your human figures could definitely use some work) and the music was pretty consistently bad... but I can relate to that, it sounds like the same kind of stuff I used to make when I was first learning to use Garageband and thought myself a musician. Definitely look into the Orchestral Pack if you want better strings, as the ones that come with it are hardly worth using; it's about the best fifty bucks you can spend on the program.

There's definite potential here, and with a little more practice and polish, you could make a name for yourself... but you're not there just yet.

Well I was definately trying to make the beginning more sketchy, but I think I know what you mean. Nonetheless. I hope you can see from the rest of the movie that my artistic skills go far beyond the opening. Can u be more specific on what I can work on for teh humans? the face, the hands, general porportions? Cuz even if you think its true "It all suks" doesn't help me much. Thx for advice on orchestral pack, I'll look into that.

i dont get it

what is it supposed to mean or imply

Hmm

In the middle of your flash I thought: "Hmpgh... it's boring..." but I watched it till the end and saw a guy (probably you? :]) waking up and then the sense of this movie and I think that your plot is quite nice. Visual presentation throughout the dream associate to me with Fountain The Movie (great movie btw...) but of course it wasn't so stunning and beautiful as in that film. However your production is quite unique and even if not 100% succesfully, it manages to make me (and probably other watchers) think and this is very good. As some people noted you should work on animation quality and graphics.

I enjoyed watching that

Although it moved a little slowly at times, I was glad that I got the chance to see it. It is indeed very dreamlike; you were very successful in capturing that feeling. I also loved the colours that you used. The weakest part of it was probably the character drawings; they didn't seem quite right most of the time. So I do feel that it's a little underdone and thus give you 7/10, but it's a "good" 7/10, if that makes sense.

And yes, all art is just stealing the best bits from life and other art. :)
