i like it
i can tell that you put some real effort into this. i especially loved the walking animations.
although the end was predictable, it was still enjoyable.
high five!
Reviews for "Animation Kills"
Soupcat responds:
HIGH five.
Cool animation style and some nice blood effects.
I think it could have been better with some background music or a bit more sound effects, the footsteps were just bland, but thats very minor.
I love the animation style, I just wish you did a bit more with it.
Also, the blood effects were nice dude, you need some more of that ;P.
For a small quick beginner flash, this is pretty good. I think you'll get a ton better in the future.
Soupcat responds:
Ok.
You are right in every way. The sounds are pretty much a failure.
I was thinking about adding a background tune...I even picked one from the Audio portal and all that jazz.
Then started on the sound effects, and I was all "perhaps this works" etc etc.
and I kept hearing the footsteps and everything over and over I couldn't tell bad from good anymore.
Overall, a nice try but the sounds messed it up. =(
I need like a personal musician or something...Or learn how to play the guitar...That would help tons.
Thx for the confroment thing with the....agh I need to sleep.
mildly entertaining
nice what you done with this. animation was smooth running and the sound affects were good. concept was entertaining and the style you used suited. cant really fault this reason for 8 instead if 10:
> no voice acting to comment on
> not much content part from concept, although nice job
> (niggle) main character is fully drawn while background character is a stick man, miss match thats all
aside from my niggles this is good, maybe do something else with this flash part from the animation kills concept, maybe continue it on before he dies and take it somewhere else. maybe get more creative and show something like the world around him evolving in animation and gradually introduce more stuff into the world from that one line.... just a thought. anyways nice job keep it up ^_^
Soupcat responds:
;)
You hit the nail on the head my friend.
I was honeslty planning on taking the character to a higher level.
Like, pick up where this ends, and add some color in FbF or sum shit, and liek....An entire theatre rising from the background.
Overall, what you said.
Thx fo the review...Wish it ahd a beterere gscoreorej getho....Sleeeep....
Brutal and catchy
I'm not sure why I like this piece so much - the simplicity of the animation in itself is a great thing to look at with how the perception of the line changes in the early going. I think that you could have gone a little slower with the evolution of the sword from a whip. Perhaps have him tie a knot in the whip to make the guard and turn it into a rapier, with the swoosh noises, then stab it into the wall and draw it out as that sword, which leads on nicer.
I think that there's real promise for this piece and it's just a case of making it take that extra step, before you kill everyone off. A good use of the red, but I'd have preferred that you used more colours throughout. Maybe that's the next one - fighting with the paint palette? Still, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your work :)

Soupcat responds:
Wow more great tips! You guys really know your deal!
Ha..Fighting with the palette...That's a good one ^^
No I this was like "practice" in doing something more "pro" and I thought I'd start off simple ^^
Not too much pondering about shading/lighting and get the basic movements under the wraps...If you know what I mean.
I'll be sure to make a note out of it to use all these great tips in whatever comes next! :D
xx <3
Thanks guys, you're the best.
Simple but effective
Graphics are very simple in this one and yet they are very detailed at the same time. You only used very few colours, maybe that's why I thought the graphics look simple, but the guy that walks in looks very detailed, especially the clothes. At first it looks a bit weird how he moves, but maybe that was part of the story as well.
The ending was kinda random, but in a good way. I expected the main character would kill himself with the sword, but you still managed to get something unexpected into the excecution of the punch line.

Soupcat responds:
Well...I don't know if you refer to him weirdly moving as in badly animated, or as a puppet.
Because there are some "bugs" in there. And otherwise....Yeh the intention was to have get to know his body and his movements. So yeh...There you have it.
Thanks for the nice review and all that jazz ^^ You guys rock.
