Hey everyone, if you're reading this and enjoyed the video, could you please share it? I hate to ask like this, but I was honestly disappointed by how little attention it received. I'm not saying give it a high rating, rate it honestly. But it just hurts to see something I worked on for years to be passed up by something someone made in like half an hour (no hate to other animators on here, but ya'll know the types of animations I'm referring to lol). Maybe it was just posted at a bad time, but I figured with such a popular IP it would pick up traction fairly quickly. I don't make any money off of these, I just do it to entertain people, but like if no one's watching, what's the point? If you watched and/or left a review, thank you so much, it means a lot to me, even if you didn't like it.
Welp, it's been 3 years in the making, but it's finally done. I try to do something new in each iteration of my animations, and this time the intent was to go for some more traditional 2d animation procedures (drawing in 2's, using animatics, etc.). Only problem is, it takes forever doing it the traditional way. On top of that, a busy college life, and there go 3 years. Anyways, it's done now, and I hope the pain was worth it lol. I did the voices in like 2 days, so hopefully they sound close enough to the characters. Hope you enjoy! See ya in 5 years... if I come back lol. Oh and watch my other stuff. K dats it bye.
PS for after you have watched the video:
I'm sorry Shrek...
...but it's all ogre now.

This is great
Thank you! Sorry for replying a whole year later, I didn't realize it's been that long since I was last on this site haha
The animation in this is really good man! I love how over the top it is, just like the actual stranger fight from the game. The dynamic camera movements added a lot, but at the cost of animating all of those backgrounds. I can understand why this ended up taking three years haha.
Haha yeah I wanted it to feel as close to the moment in the game as I could make it, camera movements and all. I don't think any of the other god of war parodies out there focused on the action part of the game at all, so I wanted it to be more catered towards the violence rather than just making the characters act all dumb. Having shrek and donkey be comedic relief basically balanced it out. Yea the perspective shifts got pretty tricky and I had to get this done asap so the backgrounds took a bit of a hit lol I'm glad you enjoyed it tho, thank you for your review!
Not a dissapointment for 3 years of making, I love it. The plot is not a masterpiece but I really liked the animation and art style.
Glad to hear it! Yep, the plot was literally me realizing there are ogres in the game and something can be made with our favorite god of war and ogre haha. Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
