I tried
I really tried to find something positive to say about this,
It just a couple of GIF images animated in a bad way with a very bad music playing in the background.
Not even the story was worth it.
Gave you 2 for the good art though
Reviews for "FAUX - trailer"
the animation greatly lacks
it's as if instead of going forwards in original indie animation, we are going backwards and even then in the early days (let's say 1999), Zhu was doing his Xiao Xiao animations wich were incredible for its time and for the basic tools that he had. If we go even further in indie animation we'll come across to some early animators doing shorts and these are some of the most classics in animation history. and I read some people's comment defending this as this being just because it's a "motion comic", do you know when this was last used(before the internet, I say)? Maybe 1920 or even earlier with 1 or 2 comics (I only saw clips for Captain America), that was when it was expensive to make animation...(you had to do it on a celuloid before and that thing is small to work with as you can imagine).
Now with a less expensive way to make animation and even free alternatives to make them, you should at least do a better effort to make some KIND of animation, when you're in newgrounds it is an Unwritten DUTY to do so.
I have only seen this kind of animation aborration with ONLY adaptations from existing web-comic series. I'm sure that the creators of said-webcomics are glad that they are getting "some" kind of new audience but i'm only saying that you'd also WANT to be proud of the animated version since you put so much work into the core of your idea( witch is your webcomic).
Wich(sorry I'm not sure how to write that word correctly :P) brings to the defendors of this (if we have to really call it that way) "style" of animation, you really have to put your bar really low for being supportive of this setback to the evolution of animation and indie creation. You are 100% Wrong to support this "animation". I see that you want to support the IDEA, but for this kind of well-made narrative it HAS to have animation that matches or the show will just Die, no matter what it will do for being such an unnwatchable mess of moving still frames.
Finnally the only reason I am giving a it 2 it is because I went and SUFFERED through the original three episodes and the story holded up greatly (as with many "motion comics")...
that is all :P
