The animation is terrible and the story isn't that great either. I guess if i was a zelda fan i could appreciate this more.
Reviews for "Night of the Redead"
Promising
This work shows that you, as an animator, have real ability. You can set out to create something creepy and the finished product certainly feels that way. Your drawing of the monster really worked. Something about it being a vaguely drawn, almost messy in a way, made it feel un-real and not natural. The occupants of the village, and the village itself, were also somewhat crudely drawn (some of the characters were built out of gradient fills) and the feeling of creepiness from the monster was lost somewhat as it appeared it was un-intentionally drawn in that style. If the occupants of the village were drawn crisply and less slap-dash the entire animation would feel a lot creepier. It would make the monster appear even more 'not of this world' and add to the general eeriness of the animation.
So far as I could see, the character which had most attention to detail was the one-man band. He was only in it for a split second and if that level of detail was given to the main characters, it would improve the animation greatly.
Furthermore, the audio sounds you used didn't really add to the animation. They were of low-quality and jarred somewhat for me.
With better audio and more attention to the drawing and animation fronts, this could be a very good animation. Full credit to you for getting onto the front page with only your second animation, it is testament to the promise you show as an animator.

I really appreciate that you took the time to give it a constructive review. In retrospect, having done this a few months ago and I've improved a bit since, I would have used less gradiants and made the characters crisper, but in a way, I do like them as they are, just because they fit a medium of artism I was going for. As for the sounds, I found them to be tiny jewels of the game they came from. Thanks for the review, your thoughts are kindly noted :)
meh.
not really my style i guess.
Not my cup of tea
I don't enjoy the drawing style and the animation wasn't really that great, it didn't really hold me. Sorry Bud.
4 for hard work and being good enough for front page material.
The story was perfect ,but...
the animation looks as if a seven year old child had drawn it. I am sorry if that was offending; there was no other way to put into words how I felt about it. The story was great, but I am not a Zelda fan so it was confusing. In conclusion: I would give 9 for the story, 1 for animation. Sorry, but it's how I feel about it.
