Reviews for "The Swell Endeavor"

In one word: Amazing.
the animation is still so awesome and the characters are really nice. i love how they do retarded faces. a job well done. 5/5

jabzinaut responds:

Very much appreciated, really glad you dug it! Making my characters do bizarre expressions is actually my favorite part of animating

Missing some sound effects.... but the whole thing looks epic!

jabzinaut responds:

I really just wanted the music to be the main focus, and thanks!

Superb work man!
One of my favourites of this round, and also one of the most fitting interpretation of Step's track.
I think one of the greatest things here is how you use 'animation smears' between movements, it makes everything really flexible and fluent.
Since it's a review, a little feedback I can think of (pretty small, actually) is that some objects (like the pillars of light, those with a gradient) look a little "bland" (/not too 'deadly') in comparison with the rest of the objects in the animation, maybe they aren't as sharp/contrasted as they could be to look more integrated.
Hope you can keep working on these two guys!

jabzinaut responds:

Really appreciate that, ButzboPrud!
I seriously loved working with Step's tune, it inspired so much and wish I couldve included all of the ideas before the deadline, definitely want to continue the storyline.
I honestly thought my backgrounds suffered a little too, I'll admit that towards the end I really wanted to finish this especially with the deadline creeping closer and didn't do much with those.
Thanks for the feedback, and I for sure will!

Reminds me a bit of Adventure Time. Not bad at all!

jabzinaut responds:

Rad show, thanks!

I really like the Indiana Jones reference... you know when he grabbed his hat from under the closing door. Great animation!

jabzinaut responds:

Really appreciate that, man, thanks! My first idea actually before animating this was I definitely wanted an Indy reference in here somewhere
