Reviews for "Adventures of Depression"
Fantastic first submission! I like the concept. Like crackerjack30, I like the sudden contrast of the light intro to the animation. It inspires me to break the ice and submit something as well -- that I can submit something relatively short and simple to create something thoughtful and entertaining.
If I had to offer criticism, I would suggest that maybe a breath or two or a hand twitch or so to add a bit more life into the character? The character's body is in the center of the screen, and I kept waiting for it to move a tiny bit more. The blinks were good, but they were confined to his head. Great job with the turn, but I think it would have helped the viewer get sucked more into the character's feelings if you could feel the effort that it must take for him to breathe, or the absolute heaviness of his arms on his bosom. But maybe you kept it still on purpose to create more tension for the viewers.
But other than that, it all felt very crisp -- the timing, the sync of the animation, and the art style all came together very well. I can still feel the apathy of the buzzing unanswered phone. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Simple but straightforward to the point.
Almost painful to watch since it is so true. Mean (but good) idea to start the animation with a happy tune before you drop the sad reality on the viewer in all its slowness.
A thought-out and mature submission.
So true. You honestley just don't have the will to do anything when you have depression. It just sucks because you're constantly drowning in your mind.
