Reviews for "Monster's Dream"

I quite liked it

Clearly your a skilled animator and drawer within flash and so from seeing the movie as a whole, I was a bit disappointed at how 2D the character looked when he was running. Im not saying its something I could do better... because i cant ¬.¬ but I reckon if you fattened him up a bit, he would look a lot better and more realistic

animatorjones responds:

ah! no you are completely right, that run cycle is part of the "i started this a while ago" section of the movie. in the future he'll be nice and plump for the eyes :D

thanks for the constructive review

Pretty good, but could be better

Very imaginative, I appreciate the original approach and concepts. But to me it doesn't feel like a dream at all. Instead it feels more like a random fight scene. It seems like the dream setting is more of a cop-out or a way to justify a little bit of randomness. But dreams, I feel, are even more random. I think you could push the dreaminess. Make dreamlike transitions between shots or scenes, instead of logical ones. The concept of time in dreams is often less realistic or straight-forward. Also, there was little to no character development. If it's to be a dream, I ought to know something about the way this monster thinks from the piece. So far... he's afraid of something attacking him, and would love to sail to the stars. But there should be more in his reactions, some level of emotion. I liked in your extras the shot where the beast looks down at the character and there's some level of interaction and thinking. That is character development. There must be some illusion of thought or motive (even if it's a nonsensical reason). Keep at it,
Kevin

animatorjones responds:

done and done, will do better next time. big fan Kevin, and in fact it was your submission that helped me hop back on the drawing board a little ways back, i've been off and on many times unfortunately... lol anyway...

you are right, there is something to be said about a dream's limitless possibilities, and perhaps i should have pushed for that feel even more. my next piece (probably not a dream) ill try to be true to the setting 100% i trust your judgement strongly even though i may not know you personally haha, your work is just too good :D so i am going to take what you said to heart and apply it.

thanks for taking the time to review and give me some constructive feedback, it won't be wasted.
