hahaha I like seeing an actual effects/editing program used with 3dmm. It's different.

I liked it. It's a lot better than anything else people are releasing around here

NOTHING

Haha, that was awesome! I really liked how you seem to have taken a little bit from a bunch of other directors, like you can really see the shots that have that Maltby vibe to them then there are a few that have that Satanik panelled look. The use of the after effects were cool in some places but not so much in others. I really liked the glass breaking and the fire at the end of the movie (especially in his eyes that was really cool), but the whole rain scene looked really bad.

I went over a bunch of stuff I liked but obviously there were still a bunch of problems (but thats inevitable, especially for someone still pretty new to 3dmm). The animating was still pretty sloppy, I think you'd be better off by focusing on shorter length and more smooth animating. The sound effects weren't consistent at all. We'd get a few basic sound effects surrounded by complete silence and then a bunch of sounds that sounded like they were recorded on a microphone from across the room and then a crystal clear booming rap song. I don't really have any advice here other than pay more attention to making the sound better because that was a little jarring. Your grasp of english isn't that good, but luckily I don't really have a problem with that and found it more funny than anything else, but if you're still working on your english, well thats just got to get better on its own I suppose.

Plot, well if you really gave that an effort, that was probably the thinnest bit about it. I suggest you put a bit more thought into it and plan it out beforehand. Obviously we have no reason to root on the main character in saving the complete asshole of the story, and what is his motivation to save him? Money? And if Rock's father could so casually spend a bunch of cash to get his way, why wouldn't he do that to save his own son but whine to some kid that he would rather see killed. Yeah, definitely made 0 sense, but that was also obviously not what you were shooting for and the plot just seemed like an excuse to make some action scenes. Action and animation is what you care about, but if you're going to put in a plot, at least give it a little bit more effort.

That's all I got, but good movie man, keep it up and keep practicing! You clearly got enthusiasm, and though its a little rough around the edges, that enthusiasm oozes out, I can almost imagine you saying "Oh man, thats badass!" after each cool action scene. Also those cliche action movie one-liners fit perfectly and were really funny.

Hey thank u mabdog and Compcat.And i totally agree with your comment compcat.

Tuna Hematoma · 10-27-2009, 08:27 PM

On the technical side it wasn't that good, but on a personal level I really liked this movie for some reason. As Compcat touched on, the animation in places were really sloppy, but I felt that you got significantly better towards the end of the movie. I really liked the end fight scene. It wasn't amazing or anything, but compared to the rest of the movie, it was so much better. The one shot with the guy going "holy shit" and then there's Sarat kicking, like, 6 guys in the air at once was really neat looking.

But yeah, pretty much everything Compcat said I agree with. I loved the humour in this. My favourite scene was probably "I don't speak english, sir" ... *SLAP* haha. The ending little narration was also pretty funny. I'm pretty interested in seeing where your "3dmm career" goes from here. Because, as I said, the last couple scenes were a lot more 'polished' than the earlier parts of the movie.

Also agreeing with Compcat. Not the best animated movie I've seen, but it has a certain charm about it. You used some pretty neat video editing tricks, and that gave it some extra personality.

I hope this isn't your last 3DMM movie, because this showed a lot of promise toward the end.

Chad · 10-30-2009, 01:38 AM

At first I was expecting more. Then I find out it is just another brutal comedy attempt with 3DMM. The audio is horrid (sounding), but as you watch you begin to get the feel for things.

The Adobe After Effects are kinda cool, but I think the best effect of all, is how the director presented this movie.

I think I have exploited most of the bad parts about this movie. On the other hand, it is fun to watch. If you are an avid 3DMM collector, then you cannot miss this one. It is defiantly a milestone in the dated technology of 3DMM.

Good work,

~Chad

It has it's charm and definate signs of talent, not bad at all.

Good editing and story. As has been said, the animation and sound could have been better, but all together, this movie was pretty good.
