I know you think I'm subhuman or whatever but that aside I think that you're a talented dude, and I'd love to see you do more original stuff like this in the future (and less gamegrumpspokemonsonicdeadbeatenhorses). The animation's really smooth and fluid, and the shading added a lot of depth-- it's really apparent that you put a lot of work into the visuals and I can appreciate that. However my issue with the content itself is that it felt kind of...empty? It was really nice visually, but it lacked any real substance to make it memorable beyond just a smooth fight scene. Like, it was nice to observe but I felt no investment in anything that was going on, and the endjoke itself didn't really feel like a good enough payoff to justify all the buildup. Unless this was strictly an animation showcase, in which case ya nailed it. This might be nitpicky as well but from a film perspective the shot of his eyes widening should've had him positioned on the left rather than the right-- the audience typically associates something moving left to right with progression/moving towards something, whereas when the character is framed on the right side moving towards the left we get the impression he's returning back to where he began. Again, maybe that's a bit nitpicky, but personally I found that shot kind of jarring because of the choice in screen direction. But yeah It's good to see you doing some original stuff and I look forward to seeing some more developed work from you in the future!
Reviews for "Treasure Trouble"
I wouldn't say it was strictly an animation showcase but it was definitely experimental, to see how much I could do and convey with minimal sound and zero dialogue.
As for the change in perspective when he first spots the chest, you're absolutely right. I'm not sure what made me do that shot in that way but it definitely threw stuff off.
Thanks for the critique, though!
I said it before and I'll say it again, this looks amazing.
Proper mixing of some sound effects would've been absolutely killer on this beautiful, fluid animation. Great timing and nice over-exaggerations. In fact, I think you could've been even more flashy with the characters because the aesthetics and movement were too cool, like a dance. One part that I didn't like, is the fade-to-black-villain-kill that we see so many times. but that's it. Everything else is very solid. Keep up the good work bro
Enjoyed the colors for the backgrounds and characters, makes it very good to look at. Animation was nice and fluid and it was great how your pacing for the cartoon kept in sync with the music. Awesome work!
Great animation dude, looks awesome.
