Look at mad-popular stuff like Mspaint adventures, it's far more crude and with far less depth, this is fine for the online medium.

Making a film is hard work and i understand why most people never get around to it after leaving school, there's just so many factors. <BR/><BR/>In any case the animatic is solid, the mood and pacing is brilliant. I find myself feeling like I just watched a really kick ass intro to a movie. <BR/><BR/>If you ever decide on tackling this film ever again and need some extra hands i will gladly offer my assistance. I've been itching to animate on paper again since leaving school, the computers are never the same! :)<BR/><BR/>Before i go i want to say that this did not feel like a student film at all, i hope you know that you've taken this thing to a whole new level, epic is the word i was looking for. <BR/><BR/>Great job man! <BR/><BR/>Oh and really great job on the designs, Some of the best i've seen in a while!!TH3DENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877967542946372931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832392356170437821.post-80218045387506000252009-03-24T11:40:00.000-07:002009-03-24T11:40:00.000-07:00oh man, what a long post!!!

If your animatic doesn’t work, then your film doesn't, period. As for keeping the models...HELL YEAH. Don’t know how I’m going to get them back to London though.<BR/><BR/>Tori: Thanks Tori, This influenced by prince of Egypt in many ways. Love that film. As for using flash, I'm not a big fan myself, but used in the right way it can look as appealing as hand drawn (I think)If I ever do have the opportunity to start up again, Your definitely getting a call :)<BR/><BR/>Kristian: I’m flattered that you blitzed your lunch break reading my rambles, LOL. As for colouring that animation, I may do it after we reach the illusionist deadline. I plan to put what I’ve think I’ve learned to good use. I may do it faster if you put some animation up :)<BR/><BR/>Paul: I’m blown away by your confidence in the film. I feel bad now. To be honest, I want to see it made also, but going about it the way I have wasn’t smart. I’ll do it providing its full time and I’m working with help. Tori (above) has offered her services, and she is a stupidly talented layout artist so who knows, maybe, when the time is right, I’ll try again. I’m just going to recharge for a couple months and work on something short and sweet.<BR/><BR/>Maarten: I’m glad you’re inspired and that you like the project, but don’t feel because you haven’t drawn long you can’t comment or crit my work. I think you have great observational skills and I’m sure there must be something you think I can do better. Hope you’re good, I keep checking you blog and no posts, wassup wid dat? :)<BR/><BR/>Rawls: Thanks man. I hope I get somewhere in this crazy industry. You just never know. I know Agent Orange is going to be big that’s for sure.<BR/><BR/>Josh frost: Appreciated Josh. I really hope I get a chance to finish this one day.<BR/><BR/>Oscar: That’s the idea, moving on to bigger things but like I said, I may return to it. <BR/><BR/>Thank you guys for the encouragement and support.libra bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294357805655617352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832392356170437821.post-59732601471969604022009-03-19T08:02:00.000-07:002009-03-19T08:02:00.000-07:00Hey man, this is some killer stuff!

I understand the task may have become a bit all consuming and that you might wanna take a break from it for a while, but the character designs, the story, the animatic, the levels of meaning and how those meanings are portrayed through the characters, the acting, are really superb, to the point where I would say forget about thinking of this as a student film, its a professional film and could win awards easily. I wonder if talking to Nickelodeon (you know the lady who came in to do a talk?) about taking it further, could be an option? If not them, then say A History or Educational programme maker? Gods were really the archetypal super heroes, living awesome lives in parallel to men and interacting with them. There would be so many great stories to tell, and your style really creates the link between ancient history and modern taste in fantasy. If it takes 2 years, then so be it, We'll wait! I'm trying to draw a 3 part comic, and finding the time to do that is just as hard to the standard that I want, but I'm not too hard on myself. Its a hobby at the moment and there need be no time limit. But I could really see this as a stepping stone to you doing something awesome which is uniquely yours.<BR/>I could crit the animatic, it is marginally too long now, but in general benefits from the slower pace, and I think you picked up on where it could be tightened yourself.<BR/>In summation, go work on something else for a bit. I think you'll come back to this with renewed vigour some time. Lets be fair you got the hard part down, its just the drudge of actual production that seems daunting at the moment. Break it up into managable pieces and go for it!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144753639270148185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832392356170437821.post-73275023328808056442009-03-11T08:11:00.000-07:002009-03-11T08:11:00.000-07:00first off.. oh my! that was lengthy.

I love seeing drawings/designs made up as real hands on models. Its like they have really come to life.<BR/>Its a shame you are shelfing your project, but its completely understandable. If you ever start it up again and want some back grounds/ cloud painting, im ya gal!!! :)<BR/>Its great the amount of detail you have gone into with it, like testing the animation with inbetweens on the hair and doing flash tests. Personally, im not a massive lover of flash, but looking at your one rendered frame with the highlights... i thinks it looks really impressive. Im loving your character designs too. I really like your exagerated shapes and sharp angles. I know your a big fan of prince of Egypt (mee too!!) and i think your designs are just as strong as some of the characters in that. <BR/><BR/>Well any who, thanx for sharing all your lovely work with us wez!! Your going to go far, i know it!!! Hopefully we can work together again some day..... (and i'll get to be a little more creative than scan and paint.)<BR/><BR/>Take good acre and see you soon!!<BR/>Chow for now,<BR/>Big hugs,<BR/><BR/>Tori Cat.xxx"TORI CAT"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08419838583771222491noreply@blogger.com
