Reviews for OT01: Out There

Very Interesting.

I liked it. Very much in fact. The first thing that caught my attention was when the animation of the "space ship" went from close-up to fading out of the screen. Animation was very smooth on that part. Another great thing about this flash video is the fact that it still maintained its "8-bit" feel with certain animation segments. Like how the characters were moving [along with the fluid movements]. The music was pretty good as well. Although, I thought the beginning of the song sounded kinda cheesy... but turned out to be a great song as it kept going. I also believe that dialogue isn't necessary for this. Definitely keep the series going. I'm looking forward to your future flash movies. :D

Gerkinman responds:

More people need to tell stories without dialogue, its a skill that seems to be going away sadly.

8 bits of awesome!

The story was a little difficult to follow. May be we need to see more of it to understand what's going on, I dunno.

I don't agree with the criticism of some reviewers about the graphics not being true 8/16-bit or whatever. There's no need to slavishly recreate the graphics on your favorite old 8-bit console. That's just a stupid thing to say. Where does the author say that he's trying to perfectly recreate C64 graphics or something? On what basis do you hold him to this arbitrary standard? The pixel animation creates a certain feel that, when combined with the rocking 8-bit track, takes me way back to the 80s. The graphics and animation absolutely rock! Do I care that it's not technically accurate? No. And the author likely knows that it's not technically accurate. So shut your cake hole! Why would you sacrifice the awesome atmosphere the author has created just for technical accuracy? Comments like that just make no sense. Don't impose your own arbitrary standards on someone else's work. Review the animation for what it is.

Simply Perfect

8-Bit Music and art FTW! The music was catchy and the art gave off a 3D impression with the shading. Great work! But I couldn't figure out the plot :3
