Reviews for "Voyage Ep1: Departure"

Not bad

The vibe was defiantly one of eeriness ( like a David Firth animation), it had the tripped out music and odd looking characters and a twisted and confusing story line that should slowly unwind through out the series making it entertaining and interesting to watch. (so basically it had all the right elements)
I liked the use of blurring and fading in and out regularly.
It helped with the eeriness and was a good way to swap scenes.
The animation was a tad lacking ( it felt a bit rushed) it was often hard to work out what was going on as the character(s) would blend into the background.
But like most series your animation should improve through out :)
TIPZ:
Make the characters and the background less matching in color ( so not just varying shades of Grey) this will help with distinguish the character from his/her environment.
Another way to improve the clarity and help people distinguish between characters and the backgrounds is;
You could convert the characters to movie clips and go filters: glow: blur 1.5px: strength 1000%: color black,red or white ( which ever you prefer).
Fidel with the smoothing.
Choose the paint brush tool and go to the properties inspector and increase or decrease the smoothing.
Have a go and mess around to find the optimal level. ( 70-80 is usually pretty good)
Also just sit back and take your time with the art as much as possible.
All in all quite good, and I'm looking forward to episode 2.
7.5/10 and 4/5

good but needs work

i liked it but it would be better to... well like the person below me said "know the caracter"

but i think this would be better as a game btw...

I liked it.

Though I completly agree that it does seem very Firth-like. This is no bad thing however, because if this is your creative taste then why not pursuit it?

I look forward to seeing where you take this story, and would be nice to see what creative twists you can add into this dark style.

Time well spent SmilingJoe. :) Please don't spare any effort in your sound and ambient effects in the next episode either because it really adds to your animation.

Didn't like it

But that doesn't mean that it's bad, the animation was slightly bad though. Good work anyway

pretty good

but at least
you should have answered a couple of questions =/
to let us get more involved in the storyline
anyway
its good
