Reviews for "Free Fall"

I'll try and have it properly polished within 24 hours. I'll just not sleep.
**edit**
I lied.
This is a nice animation. Lots of really cool sequences. Most of the motion was impressively natural. The movement of the main character was very emotive, and the light on the character's head always had a very natural flow to it.
To make the cartoon even better, I suggest working on the shadow and getting a little more visual depth to the figures in certain places. The main character was a little distracting in that its design came off as very 2-dimensional, while the backdrops of space or a cloudscape had more depth of field. Also the light on the body didn't often change in response to the body's movement, increasing that 2D feeling.
Nevertheless cool sequence, with a nice message!
Is the music in the audio portal? I'd love to get my hands on it. It was a great choice to use here.
Fate responds:
I actually have put a lot of time into the shading of the main character. However there is still one sequence that's incomplete, and I have a feeling that's when you're talking about. I'm glad you liked it though. And no, the music is not on the portal yet. You might be able to send vegetarianmeat a message, coercing him. He posted it as a WIP ages back, and that's when I got ahold of it. Hopefully he still has the original file.
It was interesting. The art was good, and the music really set the tone. However, it didn't really keep my attention, and I found myself wondering when it would be over. So, I give this movie 2.5 stars.
Fate responds:
I think the main appeal in this animation lies in my other uploads, and the references this makes to those. I knew it'd affect the scores, in the short term.
Finish it, then I'll like it.
Fate responds:
Shame you can't change your review scores when that happens.
