Student Film - Emuna

[primal_r]

The good stuff:
His shading is cool.
His mask is cool. Kind of stiff but still animated.
Character animation is hard and you managed to do it mostly ok - which is good.
You managed to do the fade-over from the doll inside cave to doll outside really, really good. I actually think it's the best of the whole short.
It was really funny when he got the stone in his own head.

The bad stuff:
The scene where the UFO explodes is really ugly. The explosion feels pasted on.
The music is too repetitive.
The lightning is often kind of dull.
When he climbes up on the crashed UFO, the background looks really unfinished.
When the crashed thing explodes due to the radiation leakage... It just feels really wierd - and it doesn't look that good either.


I'm not sure I got the story - is he starting to see himself as his own god in the end?

All in all, I would say it's ok.

hey man,

Thanks for the comments, you hit the spot about the story.. Emuna is translation basically of Faith, so nice going..

the animation and modelling of the piece was only 5 month so maybe some of the stuff there seemed rushed.. I hope in the future ill be able to go back and do something about the little errors.. ;)

Cheers..
