That's some pretty nice animation, actually. If this is a first attempt, it's a damned good one.
Reviews for "Nites Episode 1"
I really love this. Solid animation, the fact that there is no voice actors make it interesting. I have good expectations for this series, you can do many things with this. Keep up the good work! You gotta new fan :3
This is the best "first attempt at animatin" i've ever seen. Really, you are a natural talent.
This smokes away those who's had their 2nd or even the sincere attempt at animation.
I'm real curious how much time you've invested into this. For sure I'm keeping my eyes on you.
You could have cut the part where the first knight wakes up, that scene doesn't tells us anything relevant or interesting so far apart from perhaps he uses his helmet even when sleeping (which sounds pretty unconfortable by the way).
These guys end up in jail after interrupting the nap of a couple of guards, but apart from that, they didn't cause much mischief/havoc at all, which could have been funnier than the scene with the "bird alarm clock".
Apart from those details, I think you are doing a good work the animation, audio and phasing/timing.
Keep it up.
I love animations dealing with medieval (or fantasy medieval) themes. Could stem from my love of Monty Python and Benny Hill skits dealing with medieval and renaissance periods. But I digress. Your animation is fluid and the lack of any voice acting really emphasizes your animation style and vice versa. Even though it is your first one and the story was a short and simple one, it was well executed and written.
Like others have said, I really do see a strong potential with this series and would love to see more of them and hope you decide to keep up with it. Consider yourself 'faved' for future releases!
5/5! Huzzah!
