Reviews for What Are We Fighting For

Well done.

The animation wasn't the best, but I think that the movie was very well done in spite of that. Using the nondescript soldiers worked well in particular, as well as the use of the shaken "camera" to indicate explosions and such. I did think that it matched the song a little too literally; when it got to the soldier looking at the picture of a daughter and shifting it aside of cue to the next picture, it coincided with the song so exactly that it seemed a little silly. Good job, keep working!

at first the anonymous soldiers were only there because i couldn't manage to model anything more detailed but once i started work on this i began to realize just how well they were working out so i just continued to use them.

also, I'll try not to be so literal with scenes like that one in the future

Good

Some good work is done here, but the few bad things about the movie where that the animation was stiff and the music selection (even though it fit the theme) was bad.
I dont see why people would compare you to pixar, thats pretty unfair.
<_<

raven9892002 responds:

thanks, the whole compared to Pixar thing is just there because i got a comment on a previous animation (I'd be the first to admit that it wasn't very good) anyway, the comment went something along lines of 'this is nothing compared to what pixar does' and then promptly gave me a zero

It's not that bad.

It had a good message and all that, and I love how you did the camera angles and the blurs. But the animation needs a lot of work, and the soldiers didn't look that great. Still, it was nice to watch.

thanks, its good to see it has done its job and managed to get you thinking

Pretty good

...But with the right programs it could have been better. They're were some nice textures and particle effects in there. But the animating wasnt quite top notch. And the flash seemed a little empty being that there were only two buildings and some dismall charecters. I highly advise using a game engine's graphics for projects like these to get best effects. And the Cryengine 2 is perfect for a military one. It comes with the Crysis for a total of $50 and gives the best grpahics, ever. Highly recomended.
But about the flash. Overall good attempt but you could have been a little more adjustable and creative with the right software. Also work on those animations. Im not saying they were bad they just wernt smooth or life-like. But good attempt none the less. Cheers!

raven9892002 responds:

nice to see what you think of it, i currently am using a software mental ray renderer and the results you get from it all just depend on what you put in, and i just haven't been able to put in the details i need to get the stunning results you talk of out, on top of that you have to remember that i did all this on my laptop, so big scenes = big crash :(

well done

very nicly done and in 3d to boot, my biggest problem with that is the death animations which i know arnt easy to do, song i thought worked really well, the background could have been more as well. keep up the good work.

raven9892002 responds:

thanks, and like i said earlier, those are all things i am going to be working on for next time around
