Reviews for "Hybrid Heaven Episode 1"

Bwhahahahah!

Oh my god! This was a COMPLETE waste of my time. That had to be the worst voice acting I've ever heard. I cracked up when I heard the girl say NEEEEEEEEEEEOOOO!!!! BWHAAHAHAHAAH! I can see your trying something new with the whole 3D thing but it is just so boring it could put insomniacs to sleep. All your basically looking at is static pictures with cheezy voice acting in the background and the occasional "movement". I'm sorry but this movie is just a pure 100% grade-A pile of horse shit.

I Gave Sound a 10 cuz I was in it ;)

Anyway, yeah. (Awkward silence)

I agree..

I agree almost completely with DocMaster (the previous reviewer). I think he's summed up almost everything I've wanted to say.

The exceptions are: I don't see as much potential in it as he does, but I won't rate your style and violence at zero.

Nevertheless, I hope your work will improve.

Some Pointers

STORY - You should never have to explain your story in the Author's Comments. Your toon should speak for itself. If the story isn't clear, then there's a flaw in the script and you should go back and rewrite it. In the case of a series, you should reveal a little bit more in each installment. This helps to keep people interested and they'll come back for more.
SOUND - If you feel the need to have background music throughout the entire toon, try using various pieces. The single loop becomes distracting after a while. If you're still going to use voice actors, make sure your background music does not overpower their volume. As it is now, I could not hear anything they were saying because the music was louder than they were. It's great you put in subtitles, but the voices should still be audible.
PACING - The storytelling is too slow. It dragged too much and became boring. Try cutting your scenes shorter and closer together.
ANGLES - Static "camera" angles also make for boring storytelling. You had a sweep here and there, which were used well, but for the most part, we're left looking at a scene where two characters are just standing there. Try a few close-ups that show facial expressions as characters converse and switch angles every once in a while.
ANIMATION & ACTION - The characters are too static. When they move, their movements are limited. Learn a little bit more about dynamic animation to make the piece more interesting. The fight scene was poorly executed and choreographed. Check out a few action movies and study the dynamic angles used to make fight scenes seem more dramatic.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, I don't mean it to be. I see that you have the potential for great improvement and I'd like to see you get there. Keep practicing. I look forward to your next installment.

Woah, I'm confused.

There's some big problems surrounding this movie. First of all, the surpreme lack in animation and movement while diolouge is going in is detrimental to the flow, and I mean big time. I couldn't tell if people were thinking or talking at first. Then when I found out they were talking, I thought the movie might have frozen or something. The audio choice was bland as well, with the lack in movement, the audio addition just made it feel more desolate unmotivated. Another thing was that since things seemed to jump from event to event, the concept of the world your trying to create is kind lost because there's no real visual of it. I don't want to make it sound like you did everything wrong, the part towards the end with neo looked pretty cool and some of the scenery that's there does look pretty good. Making this into a comic/movie does seem like a daunting task, and I hope you can figure out what you want to do with it. Good luck in the future.
