Reviews for The Ghost Pianist

[Kurk44]

It was a very nice animation, well-done effects, solid character design, fitting music. I know how long 3-D animation takes and to take it to such a nice level takes a lot of tweaking and adjusting and considering how long you've worked on it, I won't suggest you make it longer, even though I would want ot see a longer animation maybe with a similar concept.

The one criticism I would offer you is that since the story is based around the two characters playing the piano, the fingers (and really the whole rig in general) could've been a bit more flexible, I'm not sure if it was the animator that didn't flex the fingers enough or the rig wouldn't allow for proper bending, but the fingers seemed very stiff to me. I would've liked to see more shots that focus the fingers and you really get to see an exaggerated reaction to hitting each key.

Well the entire project is done by me. From pre-production, modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, rendering and Post-production. The rig of the characters are old rigs. But next time I might take it to ta whole new level! =)

Audio and video-wise, this movie was great. Excellent, really. You did a fantastic job. But, well...there wasn't much story to it. I would have liked there to have been more conflict. Maybe a bit more back-and-forth between the two pianists, in a struggle for dominance. At least a short one. There was something like that in this vid, but not quite what I was expecting. I mean, it didn't have to necessarily be along those lines for me to enjoy it, it's just that there was little plot to begin with. This was supposed to be an "original comedy" and I didn't see anything funny. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this movie a lot, it's entertaining, but not funny.

Artfully crafted, well timed and syncronized. The music was pleasant and I enjoyed the characters. However, the battle itself was a little disappointing, as a viewer I expected the conflict to drag out at least a little longer than it did. I hope that in the future your duals are drawn out a little more.

Very vice animation. But I was expect second (black) ghost will be strike back.
I was wait for "swordplay" where enemies do several counterattack, without it I find this movie not full.
