Tea Time:The Kopitiam Way

Share Collapse

Author Comments

I did this short animation for my previous company. I wanted to create something that's unique and original; because I really don't want to be another copycat animator. This story is mostly based on my childhood memory, about drinking tea or coffee in a "kopitiam" (coffee shop). I'm still a Flash newbie, so don't expect a full-blown, out-of-this-world toon! :)

nice one

that was a very nice animation. the storyline to this one was very nice. i think it cold've been extended a bit, but overall, this one was very impressive. you were saying not to expect a "full-blown, out-of-this-world toon", but as far as i'm concerned, it was pretty pretty close to being that.

hose that watch

++ Lovely text. All kinda looks like it was written with a vertically held brush.

+++ jpg textures make it look more interesting.

+ Cool little 'play button'.

+ Cute stule of figures, with the simplified shapes and shading.

--- Terrible lip synching.

- At the end, the white edges of the objects kinda irritated my eye.

- Surely you could have used a nicer looking texture? Better than a blank screen

++ Lovely details in background - prices of fishballs etc, spinning fans...

++ pixellated backgrounds kinda help direct the eye.

+++ Great shimmering and pouring effects on the tea.

I loved this. Watched 4 times, no joke.

Simple but heartwarming.

I assume this was for television. I'm sure those that watched it would have been smiling - just as I was - by the end.

Some excellant art!

The car, look of the kopitiam from the outside, the look of the tea with the light on it, the pouring. Yes, Excellant- up with the best.

Roof tiles were good but could be better. Faces plain and not up to the same standard.

Animation good- some good angles. Excellant dog panting!

The little story was nothing special, but it was a pleasant change. I note its all your own sound and music too, well done!

Submit more- I want to see more of your work!

Nice, but can improve on sound.

As said on the title. The style is great, the background music is nice. Reminded me of my own childhood memory, too. However, the voiceovers can get a little fixing. The volume was quite low and inbalanced with the background music.

Keep posting! I like your style.

Woah

U got skill :) Keep going and u will be at front page soon. im more than sure about that!
