Share Collapse

Author Comments

The Last Hour is an award winning series that is an alternative interpretation of the Last Hours on earth before the coming of Christ. In this version of Revelations, the Anti-Christ allies himself with an alien race from the planet of Jaiba.


The Last Hour: Chapter 6 (The Mark)
Previously on the last Chapter of The Last Hour series, the pope is shown to be under the influence of the ant-christ. By the order of the anti-christ, the pope gathers the vatican to wage war and destroy the rebellion. Those who do not take the mark of the beast shall be destroy. The adventure continues...


I hope you enjoy the series.

Unintentionally funny.

The whole intro seems unintentionally funny with the overacting when saying 'The Last Hoooooooooooooooowwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaar...', the mess-up when going through the titles... and how is it award winning? Just because the previous episode got a daily 3rd? Do you need to harp on about it so much? And why is it 'legendary'? It just seems like needless hyerbole to me.

The spaceship, asteroids, starfield and planet looked decent.

The 2 frame 'lip synch' smacked of laziness though, as did the way you refuse to change the camera angle when the father speaks.

We've already seen him, so there's no tension.

And if you're showing a frame for so long, like you did with the guy/nun, it might be an idea to spend longer drawing them. The noses specially look kinda awkward - don't have lines around the entire noses - just around one side and around the nostrils. And maybe add in some shading.

It seemed like you were just trying to do the minimum amount of work but all the cut corners show.

Maybe if you cut out the intro, got better voice actors and spent more time doing animation that's not just simple tweens, I might be able to get wrapped up in the story. Currently, it's just ridiculous and made me chuckle. Probably not in the way you want, but there you are.

\m/

Well, the story continues. I have to say, I am really interested in the story, it's just a bit annoying that the chapters are so awfully short. You should try to find other ways to decrease the file size, like compressing the intro melody a bit more, etc. .

The voice acting still is a bit strange and it seems more like I'm watching a B-movie here. There's nothing wrong with B-movies, I like a lot of them, but this seems to be the "unintentionally comical"-type of B-movie.

I'm glad that you decided to let the music stop once the dialog started. That way it's a lot easier to listen to the words.
I also was glad that the voices didn't have so much static sound this time like in some of your previous chapters.

Alittle Boring

I'm saying its bad or anything but you need voice actors.

Is that it?!

Man, the animation has greatly improved over the episodes, but I would say that you certainly need to work on a few other aspects of the piece to improve the overall quality of your production.

What I'll suggest (as always) is that you improve the length of the feature. Try drawing on the works of other users to see what sort of length the you should be aiming for.

I'd also say that I'm very grateful for the Skip option for the introduction - perhaps come back after the series is complete with a special edition , which is like a collector's edition boxed set - you know like certain companies do for their TV series.

Work on the lip sync - get shapes of the lips correct, rather than copping out for an elipse, as it will make that part of the flash look so much better.
