i mean the song and the animation made a good message. the irony of the song's music to it's context coupled with the somewhat ridiculos images was funny. my problem was was that this didn't show too much work on your part. this was badly animated, and your drawing were not too good. your perspective was off, but there is worse out there.
if you had made the song this would have been great, but that was honestly the best part of this whole thing.
it was good, but it could have been better if you put more into it.
best of luck

My aim was to make a movie to the song and to spend roughly 50 hours on it. I have spent that much. To draw it with the best art I can produce, it would take probably 100 hours, however time is limited and this isn't the main project.

the work you did with link hand, was decently vexing. i mean there definately wasn't much to see as far as story or or humor or supurb animation, but still the work you did with timing was quite the amzing thing. most people when sincing animation to music (including at times myself) don't pay much attention to perfecting the timing, or the movements. yet you did! zelda's hands followed the movement of the actual playing of the harp, plucking strings in occordance to how they should be. link actually moved his hand in respect to the sound of the orcarina. if it was a high note all of his fingers were raised. if a low sound all his fingers were on (respectivly) elongating the flutes resonating chamber making the sound longer.
the problem comes in that you spent too much time on timing and not enough time on entertainment value. if this was an e-card type of thng, this is great, but as far as an animated movie is concerned, no, this really isn't.
thank you for showing your support of a classic and great game,
best of luck

Hey thank you! ^^
Well, this is an animation of them playing musical instruments, it's not much I can add to that ^^
Plus, performing music for others is also count as entertainment ;)

it wasn't perfect, but that worked for the movie. it was very laid back as far as animation, which made it fit well with the story. the vibrant colors also fit very well with the overall style. the only real issue is that the animations only affected a small part of the character's bodies, and not their whole bodies as it should have. also there should have been more overall animation and the lack of background detail did make the video slightly less as good as it could have been.
although the video was good it was lacking jaw dropping amazing-ness.
still great job
best luck

perhaps i've watched crap all day, i don't know, but finally something i genuinely liked! the animation went smoothly with the music, as though the two were designed for one another (although one was designed to the other). the abiance was set perfect to the mood of what was happening, the lighting was nealy perfect in the areas where it was needed, and although you used simple lines and shapes, you allowed everything to have depth and shape (a step up from the first asylum).
although all this is true, there did arise a problem from you using stickfigures to convey the story. they all looked alike. normally that isn't a proble, but in the complex story you were telling, without the use of voice, and no clothing or facial differences, i found my self unable to recognize the characters i was seeing, both times i watched the movie. you do several changes of veiws, flashbacks, foreshadowings, and other such tools to tell a great story, the problem being, i couldn't recognize any of the protagonists from anyone else, until the end. in the end only on character was being "followed" at that point i was able to recognize "him" amongst the crowd, the character the direction was focused around.
normally i don't like stick movies,
but this i liked
best luck

not a bad short. the concept was displayed clearly and easily, characters displayed their thoughts and actions: yet still there was a need which i feel you were lacking in. you seem to have completely dodged the area of "good" animation. yes you do have your characters move, and it dose show what you where looking for, but they didn't move well. they were just single images moving up and or down. all i mean to say on this subject, is that better movement with perhaps walking cycles, would have made the movie look better. on another note, your bg, was kinda' empty. it was no more than a two dimentional nothing. a bit of green on the bottom, some blue on top, and a couple of grey rectangles. i looked at you other work, and saw that, if you wanted, you could have made a much better movie.
good concept
made me laugh (if only on the inside)
best of luck

yeah, this was basically good. it had humor, decently close voice acting, stiff animation though, yet it still told it's story. the lip synching was okay, the real problem came with the backgrounds. they were all muddy and badly done. with better backgrounds this movie would be much better. as well, so that you can get better movements and make the story more interesting, i would advise you to break the characters into even more pieces, so that they have elbows knees ect, or to draw action sequences in fbf.
good movie, although it could be better
best luck

the movie wasn't bad... it just didn't make much sense. in the begining it was the worst as far as understanding. there it was choppy first off, and secondly, your direction was simply weird... but i believe thats what you were going for so i'll leave that alone. what was upsetting was that it seemed the quaility of the film was somewhat mediocre. it was very hard to see what was happening, and i'm not talking about the staticy tv thing. the entire film was somewhat "gritty", which may have been what you were going for yet it obscured the animation you made. as well the sound quaility at the end was simply not up to par with what you needed in my opinion. you were expressing a climax of a story all in sound, yet the sound wasn't clear enough, nor iconic nough to be understood as easily as it should have been. as well as a veiwer it had me confused as to why there were gun sounds. if you had shown the protagonist with a gun it would have made that scene more accessible and more suspence making. in a final note i beleive pehaps you should increase the frame rate, it was very choppy.
still, best of luck on your work and future submissions

Thanks for the review, you must have put ALOT of thought into it. The quality must have been wrecked by movie-maker compresion. Otherwise, thanks. Another thing was that if i had animated the guns being fired, i would have to loop it alot. I tried to keep it close to the original comic.

if i weren't the type who likes grotesque and useless violence, this movie would be kinda' bad. the animation was there (thumbs up) but the animation was generally choppy. the characters moved with very jittery movements, and as far as stick-figures go, they should have moved much smoother. as well the camera angles are a bit common, linear if you will, creating not much in tearms of dynamic angles. even the god powers, although cool.. ish... seemed to almost be a way for you to cut down on having to animate movements.
i hope you've gotten better since being the innocent 10th grader you were
and it is better than some,
best of luck

there wasn't very much here... not much at all... there was virtually no animated actions, mostly still images and most of the voices were unintelligable. the one good part was the "emo corner". that was funny. that part was unexpected, good in idea, and it was simply laughable.
it wasn't much to my taste, but who am i?
