Reviews for "Edwin Ep01"

It was ok for a first episode...

but it didn't really do much to draw me into the "series".
The voice acting like everyone said blahblah good yea...

Tho the one thing that I couldn't stand was the lip syncing ( try to work on it it more) seems like you did that trick lazy animators use that just repeat the same movements.
You have a good art style but the lack of alot of face expressions make the some characters seem a little bland and doesn't fit the voices but the cartoonish look gave me a comedic impression (this certain animation seemed more serious then your style let on)
Over all the art (background/characterdesign) kept me interested more than the story. sorry It was kinda boring but I understand stories don't start with explosions...unless your Micheal Bay.
*This is all opinion so please don't take any offense to my blunt criticism I'm just trying to help. You probably won't read this anyway becuz it's way to long. ha

Kieran-s responds:

Thanks for your honesty. I deffinatley did get a bit lazy with lypsyncing but oh well.

...but

Nice design concept, I like the color and texture choices. The story actually seems to be going somewhere (too many animations don't). The voice work is too monotone for my tastes, but perhaps you're working towards something stylistically. Good concept work... but...

Your lines have square caps, and would benefit from better use of different thicknesses. There seem to be some line errors too. Example: Edwin's nose. It looks like an extra line is sticking out the end. Add to that a square cap, and it is distracting and looks awful. This sticks out as a problem just about on just about any object that is supposed to look organic, ie hair, face, clothes.

Kieran-s responds:

Yeah, I used a type of line cap the makes the lines pointy insteadt of blunt, but it keeps glitching. But oh well, its only a nose.

Pretty Sweet Flash.

I hope to see how this endeavor turns out.

The only thing that bothered me about the flash was the lack of blinking...It just stuck out to me. Probably because their eyes were fairly stationary for the most part.

Kieran-s responds:

Haha, good tip, I'll keep that in mind.

Hmm

Well it certainly wasn't funny, but the story was definitely interesting and I will totally check out the other two parts in the story.

meh.

Animation is ok except lip syncing. Humor isn't funny. Voice acting is WAAAY too stiff
