Thank you.
I really thought the plot would end badly with
people coming out of the cave and (spoiler alert)
eating him...
Reviews for "Mercias and the Moon Man"
Joemadethis responds:
What a dramatic tone shift that would be! Thanks for the feedback!
That was great! I had one slight problem with it though - there was a clicking noise throughout the animation. Not sure whether this was intentional, or whether something messed up during encode, but it was quite distracting in places.
Part of me wonders whether this might benefit from subtitles too (though if you're going to do that, PLEASE have someone proofread it all for you).
Anyway, really looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Joemadethis responds:
Hey man, thanks for the feedback!
The clicking was not intentional, I acutally had quite a few problems with the audio while producing this, I think its mainly from the encode. I thought about exporting the audio by itself and putting the two back together on some editing software. But couldn't figure out how to do it.
Next time, I'm gonna plan a little more carefully and have one of my friends edit the audio and make sure it's all squeaky clean! Thanks again!
The animation is pretty basic but seemed to fit the story and music really well. I enjoyed this and hope to see more from you.
Joemadethis responds:
That's what I was going for! Many thanks! I look forward to making more!
Awwh..I wanted to see the other people. I like the story, very fluid, good job.
Joemadethis responds:
Thanks! Originally I planned on showing the people as well as their living situation underground, but I decided to cut it because I figured it would be too long, also I wanted the story to be told from the Moon Man's point of view, it begins with him arriving on earth and ends with him leaving.
That was real nice. Definitely an outlet to let the imagination run wild. Just a few things I should mention:
*That didn't look like Earth. The continents n' stuff were all wrong. They wouldn't have shifted that much in just 2000 years.
*Had a hard time understanding the Moon Man at times. Subtitles would have helped.
In the future, you should shoot for more odd and quirky scenarios. Try to get some comedy up in here, if you know what I'm saying. Other than that, stellar work!
Joemadethis responds:
Cheers!
*The idea was that continents had shifted partly from time but I also wanted it to look like it had been changed by war. Also I wasn't really that bothered about it not looking accurate, it's sci-fi, it's a cartoon, y'know? whatever
*I did try my best to make the moon man as easy to undertand as possible, but I will admit it didn't always work. I will defintlely use subtitles for any future projects with weird /modified voices.
I wasn't really going for the comedy angle for this one particularly, I felt the Moon Mans dead pan responses were enough. I do plan on doing some more comedic shorts in future though! Thanks again for the feedback and I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, stellar. interstellar.
