Reviews for "Another Day Seven"
Great animation, iffy music
Where has wobbliness gone these days... I swear you're the only one that does it. I don't think it's very hard, but you're still the only one to do it!
The concepts were great, art was a good mark, and you continue to amaze me (even though the only other "another day" submission I viewed was a game, something about a nightmare). However, the music sounded a bit mute, laconic, and somewhat like an amatuer composition. I might have been biased because of my piano playing, but the words themselves weren't so great anyways.
A 10 in style! Congrats!!

I'm glad you liked it. The wobbling IS very hard. I means I have to draw everything four times, instead of one. That means four times as much work. Four!

Only in dreams...
Dim, I must applaud you for AD7. It was very beautiful and quite different from the rest of the series.
The graphics have once again taken a huge leap from AD6 while retaining the series' trademark frame by frame squiggling movements in the animation. It is very clear just how far you've come since the original but yet have kept with the spirit that the series began with. This alone is an accomplishment because there are too many animators/artists who lose perspective on their own series while trying to be innovative or constantly stick with the same style over and over again. But you actually took the time to make sure you guaranteed the best of both worlds.
Now, I'm sure there are a lot of fans disappointed that none of Blue Rabbit's friends made an appearence. However, it was refeshing to see Blue Rabbit within his own surroundings once more and get more perspective/insight into the character.
I loved how you took normal events and expressed them in a surreal reality within the dream. I'm sure we've all felt like we were being held back and trying to find our own way to what we consider our own little utopias. Yet when we try to get there, there are a lot of obstacles in the way and when we find innovative ways to get around it, more pop up. Eventually you feel like something is hunting you down, trying to keep you back. This is what I got out of the dream anyhow. In fact, it kind of reminds me of my own Flash animation I'm working on a script for.
Granted, that's my own applied perception to AD7 but there are definitely some universal themes that will tie into other's interpretations while leaving it broad as well.
The only thing I can truly criticize is the quality of the song. It's not a bad song by any means but the "studio demo" sound it has to it kind of brings down the impact of this installment slightly.
Besides that, I loved it. It was a huge improvement over what was Decline 3.
Good work Dim!
Keep it up!! :)
good
really good and creepy just couldnt hear the whole song.
The blurs killed it
It would have been a lot better if you had not included the blur effects. It really slowed down the framerate for me, even on low quality. Plus it kind of defeated the simple graphics style that I love this series for.
Also it didn't seem to follow the sad song, happy movie theme either. This time it was more sad/sad.
It was still a good movie, with interesting dream sequence, it's just flawed a little this time around.
