Reviews for Crestfallen (Concept)

[VikingWalker]

Wow. Just... wow. This is so great that I don't even know where to begin! I enjoyed every second of this immensly! The fluidity of this animation is superb! The voices are convincing and they fit the overall theme well.

The guns are really well made, both the AK-47 and the Dragunov SVD in *particular*! It's almost photo-realistic! :) The music is also good. Calm, steady, and not overly dramatic.

It's cool that the beginning is similar to how Joseph Stalin had "threats" gradually removed from pictures as they were killed! I recognized Katyusha and Elena of course, but who are the others?

Also, what do the end slide's coordinates depict? The mountains you used for the backgrounds? I tried plotting them into Google Earth but that infernal thing didn't obey me.

However, I'm a little confused. Because in "I Am the Caucasus" the woman is named Ekatarina, while in this flash, I'm pretty certain her name is Katyusha. Have you switched or replaced the name? Is Katyusha and Ekatarina the same person? Am I missing something? I dunno, man... it's a little hard to keep track with all the backstories and people your art has introduced.

Anyway, it's great to see this esteemed project of yours is finally online! It's taken you so damn long, and I know the road up to this point have tedious, to say the least. Great job, amigo! I hope to see a continuation of this someday!

Regards,

Ok, so I rectified the problem with the coordinates. Should work fine now!
And the others are the enemies from the "Overseer". Recognize the mustache? XD
The order in which they disappear is the order their characters bit the dust... except I have a plan for mustache guy. Now you know their faces! Also, that girl isn't Elena. It's a different character who would be introduced in the main story. Her name is Nelli. And as for Ekatarina and Katyusha, its the same name. However one could be considered more informal than the other. Like Fredrick vs. Freddy.

Thanks for the kind words. You've been a real positive person to converse with, and I'm glad you liked the finished result!

Awesome! Definitely if you was to create a actual series it would be something I watch. Take your time though your a busy man.

aggimajera responds:

Oh yes, I have a story pretty much good to go (although I'd LOVE some co-writers to help shape it). I have the character arc, history, action sequences, and ending all planned out. It's just that getting it all done alone is impossible. Maybe sometime I can get people of board to make a pilot. It starts with a bang.

Glad you enjoyed!

Hm, I'm going to like this.

aggimajera responds:

Most definitely mate. Maybe sometime I can assemble a team to make a pilot. The closest I can compare the beginning to would be the Convoy Shootout in "Black Hawk Down" meets the Leopard fight in "Tarzan".

a deep plausible story set during the height of the cold war involving a covert conflict & friends turned adversaries ( a la kill bill ) i cant wait too see this :)

aggimajera responds:

That particular era is mesmerizing. It polarized the world and made us all distrust one another and racked up nationalism to an extreme level. And the main character is not out for revenge. She's out to stop someone from following the same path she once took that led her to ruin: the path of revenge.
I have the story... but unfortunately I cannot produce it on my own. Hopefully I can assemble a team to help make a pilot sometime in the near future.

This is just... beautiful! the animation looks great, especially the way you play around with the camera. the plot seems interesting. the sfx and voice acting is good, too. i'm really looking forward to tthe next video after this. Take your time though. We don't want to see a crappy video after you've hyped us this much. For now, i think i'll go watch "The Overseer" hehe good luck!

aggimajera responds:

Well, I might do more projects soon unrelated to this one. We'll see. Animation is a long process so I have to pick and choose what I do carefully.

Hope you enjoy! It's a bit simple, but hopefully it's worth your time!
