Reviews for The Legacy of Shaolin OP

For a first time, quite impressive

I really like what you've got going here. A enjoyable art style, likable characters, and what looks to me like some genuine originality.

As was said by others, the frame-rate was a little low. A person can really be drawn into an animation if the movements are fluid, And that's something you can definitely do.

The characters, for the short time I could see them, were enjoyable, and they had a certain originality to them. Now admittedly when I watched this, I ended up thinking of Kung Fu Panda, and some of the kids shows on TV that feature martial art practicing animals. So the subject matter isn't really original. But the way in which you've designed your characters is. That's definitely a good thing, because it can save the concept from being to boring due to a overused subject matter. At the same time, if you simply find a less overused subject matter for these characters, or even design some new characters, then you could have something genuinely one of a kind.

If you're looking to animate in the long term, then I'd say you've got a good future ahead of you. Keep up the good work!

Lanmana responds:

Thanks for the review! It was a very thoughtful critique, and I agree with you completely. I used the typical 24fps, but I'll try not to cheap out so much with the lack of frames in some areas next time.

Time constraints got the best of me, unfortunately. XD

awesome animation but...

the animation is awesome but it seems like your just taking an idea from a bunch of movies

my expectations

A SERIES, this is great material to hgave a series on, you got quite the skills and all you need is a storyline

Lanmana responds:

Oh I DO have a storyline in mind, I posted a link to the plot summary in the artist comments if anyone was interested in reading about it.

Also keep in mind that I only created the concept for a school project, and I'm not sure if I'll be doing anything beyond this opening for it.

Could be better animated

This is a nice movie, but the animation has room for improvement. I feel that you used a too low framerate and that it wasn't as smoothly animated as possible.

Lanmana responds:

Yeah, I agree. I kind of ran out of time to finish it, especially in the middle part with the crane and the wolf head. Maybe if I can find the time later I'll come back to it and fix it up. Thanks for the review!
