Reviews for Pixtropolis City

Not bad

Cute. Really fun to see but there were some problems. Before the problems, I'll talk about the good stuff about this collab. Most of the pixel art for the collab were amazing. Really great. The best pixel art was from Jimtopia, Fawx, Morrowdays & FireBlaze. FireBlaze's part was my favorite because there was stuff happening in the background. I liked that there was more stuff happening besides seeing Godzilla. Jimtopia's part was good but it didn't really fit with the collab. The collab was more of comedy collab, not a serious collab. Also, the fact the music didn't fit the part either. The credits were cool though. Now for the cons with this. Few parts had some problems. YoungandWise's Pico tribute was pretty lame. I always find NG cameos in collabs pretty lame themselves. Samiam's part was okay but the characters' legs are weird. He should of drew feet. Overall, pretty good but could of been better.

Well...

It is clear that a lot of effort was put into this but there were aspects that just seemed to clash with the overall style and break the pattern of the overall flash. The basic idea here (from what I can tell) is that the whole city is in pixel form, however there were certain parts where it just seemed more like the flash was drawn and just left at a low resolution, instead of each pixel being placed where it should be.

Basically, it seems like parts of this were rushed.

HOWEVER!: There were some aspects that actually managed to convey a sort of meaning despite their brevity. For example the one where the guy is walking and seems to be depressed. When all of a sudden it turns to night, everyone else becomes depressed and he kills himself. This really seems to get at an interesting point of how depression effects more people than the initial victim. So to whomever made that, job well done! Having said that, this was one of the flashes where it felt like they were looking for a style. Meaning it looked like a hybrid of regular animation techniques and the pixel theme, it didn't really work for me.

It's an above average film, but not by that much.

Great!

First- That preloader was really well-done; I liked it a lot!
Second- The concept alone was genious. I often closed my eyes and visualized what came to mind when I heard Metropolis 8-Bit when it came out. A collaborated animation music video to it could be nothing short of great!
Third- Was that UFA right after the Pico short, or just a straight-up UFO? Lol, NG history ftw.

My only problem was at times it got unnecessarily depressing. The guy jumping off, and right after that the guy who shot himself? Come on...we don't want to see that to this...it's a big city, to a pumping dance tune. Why not show love at the lower, slower parts instead of people offing themselves back-to-back?

That's what kept it from getting a ten for me. Excellent concept, great music, really talented animators working here...but I just didn't dig the suicide message in at least two of the bits. It should've been happier, if not consistently cool. Wanton destruction? Sure. Cool scenery? Hell yeah. Trippy action? By all means.

But nay on the suicide. Think of Livecorpse.

Keep it up!

The fact that you used not one but TWO of Paragon's songs made it even better, seeing as how he's pretty much a music god here.
