Reviews for "Billy's Behemoth Blast (2017)"
Really interesting art style and structure to the whole piece. The sound work was strong and managed to ground the super manic animation. There's also a really cool sense of scale with those birds eye views. I also like the concept alot! Never heard of that event until now.

Thanks! Realism can be manic sometimes :))))))))
That sure was an extremely weird experience! The animation is great and the style is just the right kind of weird. It's actually really cool that you managed to make things as weird as you did while still managing to have the explosion feel extraordinary and strong. The sound is pretty great. The shifting perspective is positively INSANE!!! That one shot you did at 3:37 is amazing!!! There are some great transitions as well, particularly when it comes to eyes and the shear force of the explosion literally vaporizing people was portrayed really well. I don't really get what that thing that went flying through the town was though. Could you explain that? Also, I think you may have had a bit of a racist depiction of black people, but the times were different, so maybe that is what a lot of black people did in Nova Scotia, and EVERYONE was portrayed not-so-flatteringly so I guess it makes sense. Man, your grandfather seems like he was a great guy.

Yo thanks for the flattering words- that's a tooth flying through halifax based on a Newfoundland tall tale about the explosion (a tooth flying into the dingle tower pictured in the movie) as for the racist stuff (in your words) I based that scene off of a picture of two men in North Preston with a Ox Cart (dated 1917). i didn't want to make up bullshit so I just showed everyone minding their own business. Thanks for watching and im glad you enjoyed it
