Nice
You sir, have taught me that clay does not suck. Thank you. It was pretty cool even though I didn't get it. Good job, and I hope you make more.
Reviews for "Become 2: The Anniversary"
compared
+++ Great special fx (the red things).
++++ I do REALLY like the little curvy things on the chair.
++ Some varied expressions.
-- I think you could have gone further with them. Exaggerate his fear and other facial shapes. Maybe try to reflect his attitude with his stance.
+++ The song is definitely growing on me. It's Magic!
-- I don't like the way that we're not sure of his situation in the world. #1 was pretty clear - the wire was gaining sentience and 'becoming' a model. In this, we're never sure what his control over the environment amounts to. Neither in a crazy bizarre world like Mr Coo, nor strutting around shooting out flowers, I feel that the stage feels like it's never really established.
++ Charming ending.

Cool movie. I enjoyed it. Though it seems slightly lacking compared to #1, it's a fairly worthy successor.

Thanks, I love that you look deeper than "did i enjoy it?" Although I don't mind those types of reviews too much, you give a true review, and I respect that.
The special effects pieces were just me editing each frame with photoshop, and I'm happy you feel it worked well.
The curvy things on the chair are meant to just be cool to look at at first, then they Become the reason of color change for the table. Thanks!
Yes the expressions only went so far. In fact I feel all his movements only went so far, and this is because I did a poor job building him. The armature was with too stiff wire, so that every movement I did, the wire would break out of the clay and I would have to re-shape it.
Ah yes, I still love that song after hearing it a couple hundred times. I'm happy it's growing on you, some people are getting a little sick of it. As you saw in Become: Festival Edition, it was a test to try a different song, and I think it worked alright, but wasn't a success. Magic is the song for Become and that shouldn't change a whole lot.
Yes his situation in his world is unclear. I just felt that he lived on the table basically, and that was all there was too it, but I should have worked on that aspect more.
Thanks!
Best
