Excellent. I ain't one to frown on stupid shit, but I definitely appreciate the cerebral nature of this animation. It conveys everything appropriately, and proves that you don't need top-grade animation and smooth execution in order to achieve this. Everything you need to know is present in this animation, whether it's obvious or subtle. And it's a nice, little redemption tale.
Reviews for "Dogs of Life"
I like your surreal style, it worked very well with the sound design. Good stuff dude.
A great presentation of a short narrative.
The voices and sample/text voices were well vocalised.
The various lines/poetry that was applied to buildings were a great subtle touch.
Although the line work/animation was purposefully choppy and thus hard to critque due to the fact that is the "style" of the animation. The presentation could have been refined in terms of transitions between some scenes to help the audience follow the narrative better.
An example being 7:07 to 7:08, from dogman in the sub to fish in the sky. It perhaps could have actually transitioned between these scenes via a camera shift that pans with dogmans gaze to the fish. Once again all these crazy cuts could be exactly what you were looking for (or didn't care) and this might be boiling down to "personal taste" or something.
Anyway great experimental animation and narrative that has different "flavour" than the usual.
Very interesting piece of work.
Considered stopping midway (wasn't particularly engaging for me) but decided to stick it through to the end to try and piece together what it was all about.
Some of the art and visual concepts were quite fascinating to interpret, but overall I felt that the style could have been a bit cleaner among other things, and often presented barriers to my understanding the work and being engaged with the story.
Points of redemption earned for use of action and change of pace towards the end, along with a poignant ending to the story. Keep trying!
What have... what have I watched? It was good but animation was choppy (Looks intended) and some audio was violent.... Just... er... take my rating?
