"Not as Impactful, but Still Love the Series"

submission: There She Is!! step3

date: June 6, 2008

The animation and attention to detail are still as good as ever. Storytelling is still strong, as well. The story this time around just didn't have nearly as strong an impact on me as the last one, which is by far my favorite. The first two were also very fresh and exciting, while this one recycled a lot of what we've already seen. And the cliffhanger at the end doesn't quite make up for it. I still love the series, overall, though. I'll be looking forward to Step 4.

Score: 1

"It's a Storyboard"

submission: Beauty of Valentines Day

date: February 13, 2008

Well I probably wouldn't have watched it if I'd known it was just a storyboard, seeing as how that's not what I come here for, but I suppose you succeeded at telling a story. Since it's not news that quality animation cannot be done in thirty minutes, you should have allotted yourself more time.

Score: 0

"He Was Right"

submission: line and line again

date: February 10, 2008

You shouldn't have submitted it.

Score: 0

"Clueless"

submission: [L*]Tsukasa Write

date: February 10, 2008

That intro was deceiving; I expected better. And as I do not read Japanese, I have no clue what was going on.

Score: 5

"Review"

submission: Someday Trailer

date: January 21, 2008

Wow; someone in one of my classes is doing a project with a very similar story. Then again, I don't think this is the most original plot. The look is nice, especially the layouts, but I don't like the tweening so much. Gives it that cheap flash look that you're obviously very capable of transcending. Looks like it will be a nice project when you finally get to it.

Score: 5

"Typical, Indeed"

submission: Typical

date: January 21, 2008

The layouts were awesome, but the animation was static. The video content at the end was also of low quality. Improving upon those aspects would support the entire piece!

Score: 0

"Study life and motion"

submission: Odd Walk Cycle

date: January 15, 2008

Well it's not Flash, but that's not really the issue. Nobody could walk like that without falling over. If someone were leaning back that far their feet would have to stay beneath them to help balance and suppose the weight. Study how the body moves and how weight affects that movement. Since you did this for an animation class, I assume you're at some school where you should have access to life drawing resources. Use them. "Odd" just looks bad if it's physically impossible for no apparent reason.

Score: 4

"More development"

submission: Mindstate

date: January 14, 2008

Not bad, but it needs more secondary and follow through actions. The lack of these principles left the whole thing fairly static. Additionally, a tiny hint of the blood stain can be seen staying in place when you zoom out at the end. Not really my taste, but executed well enough. And the backgrounds were well done.

Score: 8

"Awesome!"

submission: Birdzone Movie Teaser

date: June 9, 2007

Very nice! Definitely looking forward to the completed version!

Score: 5

"Replay?"

submission: colors of the stick

date: June 9, 2007

Xiao-xiao inspired, I assume? No qualms, good stuff. Some of the effects were really bizarre, some bland, but some of them I really liked. And though the viewing area is tiny, the animation seemed pretty decent. I liked the colors. Oh. May I suggest a replay button?
