A predictable plot, but you had a pretty nice aesthetic going on. The animation during most of it was choppy, but some lipsync animations and little things like that are quite nice. The action started out pretty nice, and I liked the papyrus skeletons, they look really cool. Beyond that first skeleton, though, it got so choppy it was just distracting. Three skeleton attack was still pretty nice. The voice acting was pretty good, but it feels kinda cliched. I can't say it doesn't fit the characters though. The character designs are pretty nice as well. Another specific thing I have to add is that the music during the fight kicks in very abruptly and doesn't really fit the situation, since it cuts out when he's choked. And the little girl's lips don't move for her first line.
Overall, not very original and has some general flaws, but it has a neat visual aesthetic and some pretty nice animation bits.
Reviews for "Beyond the Fog: Episode 1 - A Rude Awakening"
I greatly appreciate your take on what should be fixed in this. In the future episodes, I'll do my best to flesh out the animations better and work on improving the pacings and sound design. Thank you very much for the critique!
it was good, but it was short, with like 6 fps at some points. and that was alot of smoke when the father was pushed back
In hindsight, the smoke seems to be a bit overkill. I suppose while making that effect, it was to simulate the severity of the attack.
Great illustrative style.
the art style of the thumbnail and show arent really the same
The style is beautiful and the sounds are great, it comes down to the mixing as the problem. The first time the music cuts in would sound better smoother, especially since it sounds good when it fades back in after the silence cut for big bad entrance.
Obviously smoother animation, but everyone is working towards that. Very watchable though, thank you.
