boring
I found it boring
Reviews for "Flight of the Dragonfly"
mmmmm
I could see what you were trying to get at with the emotions, and what not, but there was nothing.
Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find myself caring for any of the characters, as I didn't even really know them.
So, throughout the animation, I just found it to be a total drag.
Girl randomly jumps off random cliff, boy is sad, spirit lives on.
Kinda like Mufasa.
To be honest
I was kind of annoyed by the stereotypical anime-esque styled drawings, but however I decided to stick through it and let it slide.
It could've used a little more effort, and to make it more dramatic, maybe a smooth, flowing effect, kind of the effect you see when people draw wind going through a field, and it likes everything was repeatedly re-drawn. I like that, because I'm not fond of the idea of looking like something has little to no effort attempted in it etc. like Mouth movements when speaking in Japanese cartoons. Open huge, tiny close. repeat. But I just didn't click with this.
I'd also like to say grey is a bit bland. I'd like to see maybe some faded colors added in, almost as if they're washed down, and greyed themselved.... to the point where it almost looks as if there isn't even color. It gets it across, by showing that it is what is, and the color reinforces it, BUT the grey, faded quality of it, keeps that melancholy feel.
Good job on what you've done, but I don't really know exactly how much I mean that...Not to be rude. I know I couldn't put forth the same amount of effort, surely.
Kinda get it
But not fully. I appreciate the effort to do an artistic animation with emotional message. But there's just lot of questions not answered, like Why did she leave? What kind of realtionship they had? And the hair-pin, why did it disapear?
The other things are visual. It's not bad, but I think gray is not a colour that expreses this right (I would add contrast, or colour). And the style, sorry but I really thought the second girl is a boy.
But keep it up! you can only get better
Very touching
I liked it, it was sad and was made pretty well, I almost had a tear in my eye X)
