That actually looked pretty nice, if you would release an actual series of those vikings, then it'd definitely be down to watch that, it looks pretty neat ^_^
I guess it could have used more elements like fighting scenes or some dialogue, but it was fine like that as well
Thank you!
We had about 4 months on us to make this so I wasn't sure how many more scenes we could've fit in when doing the storyboard, dialogue is definitely something I want to put in the future! ^^
Looks well done and everything seems in synch. I'd watch a series based on this!
Glad to see you finally got something out here
Hey, a fellow Swede! :D Gotta love the theme, and part from that the animation's great, simple but smooth - with gradient backgrounds that sometimes seem an unnaturally detailed contrast. It's all easy to follow and fun to watch, though the music... feels a bit strange. Experimental like the genre. It's uplifting music, but at the same time it really doesn't feel like anything that'd relate to 'Vikings'. I'd picture something a bit more fast-paced and ferocious, or pompous, or Norse... basically just something very different. It doesn't sound like your traditional intro music either, which maybe breaks the impression of this as an intro. It feels more like a teaser, or prelude, until that final traditional trademark splash. :)
Would love to see more Vikings, though! Nice work. And interesting read on the process behind it.

Tackar! Didn't think there were that many Swedes around here. ^^
It stated off as an intro but then as we dragged out some scenes and put in sound effects it sort of turned into a different thing as just as you mentioned. The music got a bit more, um playful? than I first had imagined. I told my friend who was in charge of it (who really hasn't made that much stuff before this) to mimic the opening of an anime called "Slayers", which didn't turn out that great, so after that I just told her to make her own thing. I'd imagine the sound guys did a lot of trial and error just like I did.
Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with next time, and thank you for such a detailed review! It was really hard for me to put into words what was off with the music for example. ^^'
