Reviews for "Chaos - Act 2: Intention"
Accana responds:
Thanks! you might be the first. Hah.
There is always room for improvement. This is obvious since you somehow got better in the time since episode 1, and that was already phenomenal!
Your use of action in dynamic fight sequences that create a spectacle without stagnating kept me at the edge of my seat the whole video.
The vocal work was great as well. Tails sounded young, but not the usual shrill nasally whine people often end up getting. Sonic sounded sure of himself without being a cocky showman and Knuckles was like if his character and behavior from the Sonic 3 and Knuckles were given to his Adventure voice actor. Robotnik was very angry in this, and I felt the actor sold that, but I still want him to have a nice panic or other high energy performance.
Then there's that Master Robot... The effects you put on his voice along with the voice actor's cold and mechanical delivery of the lines made him far more threatening, and the music chosen for this whole episode built the events' scope and severity very well.
At this point, saying your sprite work is good goes without saying, but I still have to say how refreshing it is in the oceans of bland or lackluster sprite animations I find a select few that flow organically and look like they bear physics.
I love your work, I can't wait for the next episode, and when this all done, I want to see what you continue to do.
Accana responds:
made my day with this review. Thank you for the serious feedback I very much appreciate the time you took to tell me all these points you enjoyed. Gives me more motivation to keep going.
And I will.
cheers dude.
Ordinarily I don't like sprite movies but I quite enjoyed this. It's obvious that you put a lot of thought and effort into it. Good job.
Accana responds:
I appreciate you taking the time to give it a chance rather than just skip it just cause its sprites. I started animation with sprites. I did work extremely hard on this, chipping away over a span of 10 years on this. Voices are hard to get right in a drama sprite movie. Most (if not all) sprite movies are comedic which makes any voices easier to portray with that kinda slapstick comedy. Asking people over the internet to "yell in desperation and agony" can come off weird I guess.
I will work to make Act 3 even better since I'm bummed this movie essentially got shut out on NG.
This is probably gonna be over looked by most, but I find it amusing that Knuckles NEEDED a ring to live.
A little nice nod to the game series gameplay.
Story is quite good, but Robotnik voice(s) could use some work (as non native English speaker I struggled to understand what they are talking about). I think that adding subtitles would be a HUGE help.
Accana responds:
voice acting is definitely the biggest challenge in a project like this. subtitles are probably a thing i do need to implement. Thanks for your kind words.
