That was really good. There is always an awkward leap to get through for magic stuff, but keep trying and I'm sure you can get past it. Your animation was nice, i would love to see more. the voice acting was good and enjoyable too.
to get past that awkward bit where you try to portray actions that real people never take(i.e. grunting or chanting spells) you just have to work at it until you find a way that works with your animation.
it might sound silly, but try watching and paying close attention to shows with real people that do that stuff a lot, the actors and directors have put a lot of thought into how to convey things, it takes a fair amount of effort to get your character's actions to fit their voices, but you are definitely on the right track.
watch shows that do it regularly, even if its live action. just watching cartoons will make you forget how some voices can match up with their bodies, so its good practice to watch both types of shows. something like Heroes or Supernatural.(mostly heroes. really good acting) would be a great place to look for the awkward grunts and screams that accompany this stuff.
RWBY is on netflix now and they do a good job getting past that awkward leap as the show progresses.
Reviews for "The Maiden and The Mother"
Thanks for the critique :) I agree the action was a bit awkward. Heroes I'd a show I haven't watched yet but have been meaning to so I'll definitely take alook at their action scenes to see how to improve mine. I wish I saw Little Witch Acedemia 2 before working on this video, the magic would have looked a lot better xD.
That is pretty good. Nice job!
Excellent story. I hope that in part two she fries all those churchy fags and tortures her bad daddy; if she has not already. Nice job; I think you could have tightened up the animation a little, but hell it was an ass ton better than anything I could have done. Keep up the jobs well done and telling those stories, thank you.
Great animation, music and story.
Thank you :)
the animation was not awesome, it was decent (and the background felt separated from the animation), the voice acting was good but not the best, the story was great though and the music fits the mood.
i dont usually criticize but i think that if u improve you animation style you will be able to do greater things. but above all keep up the good work :D
Thank you. I'm always open to criticism, I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier. You are right the characters don't fit the background x.x I was gonna add shading to fix that but I didn't have time. Though I'm sure shading wouldn't have fixed the entire problem. Any suggestions on the animation itself? I'm self taught and I'm not sure how to further improve my animation skills.
