Meh-worthy. Punch line at the end of good, but abrupt and rushed compared to the rest of the animation.
You have a voice actor, but I didn't hear speaking parts.
Overall, interesting mixture of styles. Some of the time, it worked (like the filter, the guitar music, and simplistic flash drawing). Other times, it contrasted (like the Hallelujah with the more cartoony vending machine).
You have the potential, though. Keep practicing and improving and you'll get there!
Thank you for your comment. I had a friend who wanted to be the shouting voice of the bear when he gets angry. I experimented and tried different things while managing the project but i really appreciate your CC.
Something old, but something I won't tire of. ;D
So, compliments:
1) Each pane is nicely drawn. Great quality.
2) The transitions work well with the song. For example, zooming on the hips when the song referenced it.
3) Great use of colors for contrasting.
Critiques:
1) Low framerate was more clunky than artistic. Try some tutorials to cheat motion blur for smoother transitions. Or bump up the framerate and the amount of blood on your mouse/tablet. Quality will then bleed (-1 to me for the horrible pun).
2) The background is an obvious collection of images that you cycled through. The positioning of each background was not consistent (bounced a bit). Don't know what programs you used to draw, but if it has frames involved, should be a tool to help with alignment or something like Onionskin Layering to guarantee consistency.
3) Raster graphics are obvious. On the zoom ins, the bittage quality dropped greatly, a sign raster graphics were used and/or you compressed using an unforgiving format (PNG comes to mind).
4) Something about the hands and hips zooms seemed offsetting. Not sure if from low framerate, or how awkward a cut, or maybe the zoom distance. Wish I had advice on this one. ~,~
5) (Not a foul, just a personal gripe) Shipping.
Continue at it and you'll do wonders!
I used Final Cut Pro to put the animation together/
Garret's a stickman?
Nice work. Definitely one of the better stick animations. It was smooth and held its own style.
I was surprised you used the voice clips from the Thief games very well.
Cheesy? Probably, but that's what the makers of the games intended for.
I have to admit you built the plot so well that I forgot I was just watching another stick movie, but you pulled off making an atmosphere of its own.
The only concern is that you displayed things that I only wish I could do in the Thief games, like dodging sword strokes.
Planing on a sequel?
Im testing a couple options for a game sequel with "pufje" the programmer behind this.
Stunning
The way it was animated, sure simple but smooth. Shame that last music doesn't loop forever after the movie was done. The choice of music fit so well with mood of the scene.
Also, the word I believe you are looking for is 'lumberjack."
Thanks a lot, I just fixed it. You are right, wasn't sure what word to use :)
Bien!
No hablo espanol, yo soy blanco!
Nice idea, but you threw Linux in. That deserves a ding.
The voices could probably have been done a little better. It definently sounds like you did it yourself.
But the animation was great, and the idea something notable. But dissing Linux is wrong. Just because it's open sourced, only the people who know how to work it can, and it does not support many programs and applications that are useful does not mean it sucks. But I believe the South Park parody covers it well.
Nice try.
I personally I like linux. But my commercial was from Apple's view of the world. They absolutely hate competition. And Linux is obviously one of them.
Quality of story
Granted, there was no preloader or anything to stop the movie once done, it was great.
The storytelling was made funny by the movie, or it was just so great I didn't care. Just like HALF-LIFE: FULL LIFE CONSEQUENCES on Youtube.
I will admit the graphics could have been a little better.
It was for a high school project, I had to throw it together in a week.
If the game could talk...
When I played through the game, it was a sincere quest. But now that I've seen this movie, I'm realizing how ridiculous the storyline actually was. But the puzzles were great, but now I can laugh at that game for once.
I still love it, and I hope the makers are not offended too much. :)
Thanks
Not bad
Animation-wise, it was great. Not bad, not excellent, but great. It was really smooth on the transition of poses, but not great when the characters stood still.
The music fit very nicely.
The quality of the drawings were decent, at best.
Keep it up!
