worst collab ever. Well, not really.
I only found that I liked a couple of the entries in this collab... Usually I find that half the collab is very good. Was there a lack of talent this time? I dunno. Let me go over the entries:
DNR's entry was very well done, but I got the feeling that maybe it was done for something else, and then re-colored blue and water added to make it fit the theme of this collab. I may be wrong, but I guess it's just that it would have worked just as well had it not been blue, and had there not been water. Animation and art was superb tho.
Mynamewontfitin... I dunno. It's just strangeness, it lacks cohesiveness, there's not a lot of plot going on.
Greedom - Not badly done at all. The animation was good, there was a plot, a definite beginning, middle and end. Reasonably well done.
ZeekySpaceyLizard - I dunno. It was well done, but just kind of strange. I liked your simple, but effective "waves." The story was kind of blah, kind of obvious what was going to happen as soon as he threw the paintings in. Also, I'd like to say that the animation of him falling from the boat was a real cop-out. Or was he SUPPOSED to be a two-dimensional character?
Space Chicken - well made, I laughed once or twice... Unfortunatley I saw the ending coming a mile away.
Xionic_Demon - your version of the simplified "madness" style characters are decent looking, and you did a good job with the facial expressions. The violence was kind of unrealistic somehow, though - the movements were slightly wrong. I dunno. It wasn't bad, just a bit sub-par.
Djamin - ...Not a whole lot of plot going on there, is there? Just sort of a snippet of music video with a very simple character. The lack of plot was disappointing, I would have liked to have seen more going on. The lip-sync was perfect, well done... But at the end, I found myself thinking "That's IT???"
So you see my problem with this collab - I felt that most of the entries were, in some way or other, mediocre. It's not bad, and I certainly wouldn't have blammed any of them had they been submitted on their own... But It's not up to the quality I've come to expect. Ah well.
