finally got around to watching this. I love the blending of art mediums! I also like the effort put into making the character move while talking, that's something I need to work on. I do think that most characters move in the first half of dialogue and then tend to stand still in the second half. Very cool editing effects and stop motion is always cool to see
Near the beginning I think some of the camera work was a bit raggedy.

Thank you so much for honest criticism ^^ I'll take all of it into consideration for Episode 2, i agree theres sometimes lack of movement in dialogue other than the faces in the episode aswell as the first scene being abit choppy, those issues will be fixed in future episodes aswell as work on more unique camera angles and smooth transitions :DD
Wow nice
the 3/D element is really good here aswell as the stop motion love the different view shots in this one You have a good Concept here And Quite Frankly it has tons of Potential I found this to be mindly interesting actually it was pretty good and Yet also kind of weird but then thats what I came to also enjoy about it, and also what makes this work. I am pretty sure you will have many endeavors and bring enjoyment to lots who view your work here, but for the mostpart I like what was set here today You have a Grand idea on this flick.
~~SUGGESTED IDEAS~~
The voice work was great seemed scratchy at times but nothing too bad also adding subtitles would be a plus on these flicks
~X~
VictoransXD responds:
Thank you so much for the great feedback, i'm really glad you see potential in my work, it is important for me to always consider criticism and feedback in order to improve, so i agree on the voice quality part, i'm getting it fixed for Episode 2 aswell as other technical things to make watching the series the best experience i can. And thank you so much for the kind words, i really enjoyed reading it, hope you have an amazing day :DD
i fucking hate this series and video.
VictoransXD responds:
Best review so far, i love you
You can really see how much work went into the small details of world building and staying true to what the blurb says in terms of displaying a dystopian setting. Just from the concept of the protectorate bots alone, I was utterly immersed.
The animation is fitting and very smooth, and the costumes are interesting. Music augments the ambience very well.
VictoransXD responds:
Aww thank you so much, i am really glad you looked into little details, descriptions and bits i added into the scenes for more depths, really happy to see all the support the series is getting! :D I really appreciate the respect you have for the character designs, each character went through ALOT of redesigning to get them right, the series was originally planned to be 2D before switched to stopmotion. I planned the series for around 2 years so the writing and everything else is consistant before fully starting it :D
i love it vic!!!!
