Reviews for "SLICE O' DEATH (Pilot Episode)"
StoutProductions responds:
Haha thanks so much! The zombies have been out there for a whole year so at least some clothing's got to be destroyed in that time.
Alrighty, simply put: this is amazing.
Now for my unnecessary essay that no one will read. I really love the concept, honestly compared to most zombie movies, where while yes, there’s a lot of good ones, most of the characters are just emo, which while not entirely inaccurate, I have been needing to see one with characters that, honestly, while realizing that they can obviously die from it, seem to just sorta have fun killing zombies. I love how the characters interact with each other, and kind of just what they are; the emo goth, the “fuck you” friend, the loud but somewhat cool friend, the “they TOTALLY have never murdered someone before” boss, the super intelligent gamer that’s like 11, and finally, last but not least, the “I’m blind, I’m wise, I’m cool, and I’m black” character that I see in quite a few other places, but I honestly love that character trope so fuck it. (Also correct me if I’m wrong about her being blind)
Now, for some faults I have (don’t worry, it’s not much). My biggest gripe here is just that some of the VA’s voices are hushed, best example of this is 4 minutes in when... I’m guessing Arzhul (since they never explicitly state who’s who in the movie and I’m too lazy to look up the VAs by myself right now, apologies)? Says “ready to rock”, the VA tries to make it sound loud but it’s in that “whisper screaming” voice. I understand why, maybe they just didn’t have any of those noise absorbing things, and, well this stuff costs a lot, and I get the feeling that a lot of the VAs at least aren’t very experienced (not that there’s anything wrong with that. Also, again, too lazy to fact check, could just be me being stupid). There are other things I wanna mention, but it’s 1:47 in the morning for me right now and I should be sleeping. For now, I will just say, despite its flaws, everyone who worked on this has done an amazing job.

You pretty much got it down for the most part! And yes, this was made on a $0 budget with the help of some friends of mine over the span of only 11 months, so not very professional, haha. This was more of a concept pilot that we had a lot of fun working on, so I'm very happy that it shows! :D
I loved the intro and some scenes were really funny, I also like the character designs c:
StoutProductions responds:
I'm really glad people are liking the designs! I'm happy they are recognizable
Pretty neat stuff.
This was great! The animation was clean and the character designs are awesome. My only gripe is that the audio and acting weren't consistent. But I don't get bugged by that stuff easily so whatevs. Feels very very 2008 in a good way
