Excellent
The graphics and stick movement was very realistic. I liked the way you covered the screen with dirt and blood, it added to the effect of feeling like you're right there. This reminds me a lot of Oscar's animations, from the way you did the shading around the sticks and the creatures you made. I like the bit with Corey Taylor's voice as well, hope you continue the series. Welldone
Huuge thanks, Love it when people compare me with oscar.. since oscar (imo) is a waay better animator than I.
Well, heh, it is something.
In fact, I haven't seen a thing like that in a while. No plot, brilliant animation, and weird music with support from DQ result in 9 for you.
thanks, that's what I was going for
The style might not be the most original... but it's still something you havn't seen before.
Damn!
That was really cool. It does leave wanting to learn more about the situation and what happened before, but I enjoyed the disorientation. I'm looking forward to part 2 and am happy I could review this while it was under judgment.
Glad you enjoyed it.
and happy to hear you want more. ^^
Too deep
First off, the obvious. The animation values in this movie are downright incredible. The art is solid, the coloration effects are good, and the transitions and special effects are sharp and varied.
But this movie suffers from excessive depth. There is a lot of story and action behind this movie, the events portrayed, but none of it actually has any explanation or history provided. We can only assume that the main character is Craig...but then, who are the others? Who are the zombie/monster things?
The problem with stick animations, which this is at its core, is that the characters aren't easy to distinguish. Even when given the helmets, it's still tough to know if it is "Craig" under there, or someone else. And then at the end, when the one is saved by the other...who are they? Which is which?
You definitely deserve props for your skill with flash (or whatever programs you used). I don't deny that at all. This movie has great artistic talent behind it, and very strong cinematic value. But as a movie, even as part of a series, it isn't comfortable to watch because you can't connect with any of the characters...mostly because they can't be distinguished.
Keep up the good work. Truly.
Damn, Thank you for the time spent on writing this review.
Love to se how much you've thought about it..
and you're 100% right, there is alot of back story to this.. and maybe there's a point to make
everyone look the same... maybe it's just the way "craig" remembers it?
is it all a memory? or a dream? a mix?
Episode 2...
I like it!
It was very well made, tho' a bit random. But that's often how I like it, good work!
lol, Thanks "joniz" ;PPP <3
