Reviews for "Pick Up: Act 2"

Nice.

You're creating an interesting world.

Your biggest strength is in your action, but there' s a lot you can improve on. Action can't carry the whole weight. Your art could really use some touching up in these animations, and I know you can make it look smoother from what I've seen on your Deviant Art site. I want to see the same aggressive action set to artwork that's just as smooth.

And for God's sake, get some better audio equipment. Also, I liked the dialogue for the most part, but I felt like the voice acting was lacking. You might consider some acting exercises for your voice actors, or maybe even just getting different voice actors.

All in all, not bad, but I bet you can do a lot better.

Good animation but dissapointed.

Hey Skaijo, congrats on the release! The animation itself is a great improvement but overall I can sort of see why this movie is so underrated. Before I start, I can't believe how much you changed the first Pick Up. The thing I loved the most about the original was that it could clearly stand alone, and that the music strung the story together rather than the voice over. I think the voice over made it corny and it was an obvious ploy just to help people understand the story more. I'm not saying that understanding the story is a bad thing, but the original was so much more amazing because it so cleverly and subtly portrayed it.

Ok, so now you probably understand why I didn't like act 2 as much. It didn't hold that same classy feel that you had in the original version of act 1. It was so heavily dialogue-based, that it took away from what was so genuine in the original. And as some other people had mentioned, though layering the audio makes it more realistic, it's also very hard to follow when several characters are speaking at the same time. On the plus side, the characters are so cool. The designs and the animation itself was really top-notch stuff. I thought some of the comedy was funny, and some unnecessary.

Overall it was good. I'm sure that now that you've taken this direction with the animation, I really doubt that you're going to take my advice but that's fine, because I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who loved it. Good luck, keep it up! Oh and btw, one day we shall work on something together since we kind of tossed the idea that we had in mind.

-RAWR!

Not great but, preety good

The art (in most cases) was really good I do have to say. The only MAJOR problem I have is the suck voice acting. Or at least the recording SUCKED, it might have worked if it was proprly recorded.

wowza

Great flash animation here, the animation was really good, its amazing how far flash has come along. Only problem here is the story all of the reveals and pot developments come at you so fast and randomly its crazy, and I know you have to keep it short but thats why its a flash series you can continue it. Also even if it takes you long long hours, put lots of effort in the story. Make outlines of iit have people read over it and give feedback and the finishing product will be totally worht the time you went through..but definantly keep it up you're doing prettty good

okay

good story and special effects but when the talked i really couldn't understand them. if you make another please try to fix it
