Reviews for Across the Universe Ep.2

[JTmovie]

Nice use of 3D/2D animation

I saw both episodes in order and I got to say this is a very interesting series. The voice acting was really good aswell and the cliff hanger left me guessing, more so in this episode than the first one.

Constructive criticism:
The animation could be better. Now dont get me wrong your way more talented than I could ever dream of being but in some places it still needed some tweeks. Me personaly it didnt bother me but I can see how it would bother other people. For instance that scene with the big robot (great design btw) grabbed onto buildings. Other than that everythings well put to together. I would say the quality but I understand the whole file size problem.

Also I have a couple of questions:

What 3D program did you use?

Why did this come out so long after the first?

And when can we expect the next one?

Anyways thats it. Good job cant wait for more!

Thanks for the review. The programs I used were Blender, for modeling characters and sets. Then I used XSI for rigging, animation and rendering. The implementation of 3d upped production time significantly but made animation quality more fluid. Currently working on episode 3 but I need to figure out the issues with file size first. I had many errors with flash, so that's why it ended up being in video format. I wont release the next episode until I can fix my problems. So release of the next episode depends on how long it will take me to learn.

Anime

this is cowboy bebop if it had babys with Ghost in a shell

crystalpencil responds:

Those are definitely two of my favorite animes, so the influence shows, huh.

Yes, as they said, very anime like,,,

Story is excellent and animation is unique. Very well done... Though the cyborg at the end did seem to jump kind of like king kong (you know, from building to building).

Awesome!

I love it I can't wait to see what happens next. Though I loved the graphics in ep.1 because it seemed so anime like you know? This one is different or is it part of the scene where they're in the alter universe?

to be honest....

everything here is unique...but story progress is slow..and ....fast actions are a little TOO detailed...making them seem slow.
