a wonderful thing

Everything about this little slice of kitty (or Keddi) life is just incredible. So subtle, and yet so precise and stylistic.

To the author: pardon me if I don't review all the Keddi movies. But, rest assured, I've watched them, and they all deserve the most glowing reviews. Magnificent work!

magnificent!

That was across the board, amazing. It wasn't so weird that it was pretentious or deliberate. The visuals were terrific, the sound was clear, perfectly mixed, and added to the atmosphere in such an effective way. This was absolutely wonderful.

There is a sense of lurking dark comedy in this. So while I smiled as I watched, I also detected something sinister.

You've created another world with very in-depth characters.

Currently this is at an inexpicable 2.5 (or something). I honestly expected that, after I voted (a 5, obviously), it would say it was at a 4.5 or higher.

Well, I guess Salad Fingers aren't the only weird things around here. Apparently, the way people vote is even more bizarre.

Yes. As i read all these reviews I see not a bad one, all 8,9 and 10, yet my score is currently at 2.60 ??? Who the fuck keeps giving me bad reviews!! It pisses me off so much to see shit movies constantly getting 3's and 4's. Cheers anyway.

potential

This shows promise. Just some suggestions - take 'em or leave 'em:

1. Smoother zoom ins
2. Too many cutaway tangents/scenes gets way too distracting and way too reminiscent of Family Guy.

I'll be looking forward to seeing a full episode. Looks like you might have something here. Good work.

shawn-lepus responds:

For the zooms I’m just using tweening with a move clip that has all the action inside of it. How can I make that smoother? Would it help to knock down the quality or is there something I can do on my end to make it better? Some people have said to up the frame rate but I’m already at 24 fps. Thanks, feedback from artists is always the best. Oh and the Family Guy thing. Sort of fair, but that’s really just how my humor works. If anything I’m ripping off Penny Arcade and Ren and Stimpy, or the Taco John’s commercial where the monkey is a cowboy.

good effort / poor execution

I give you a lot of credit for the effort you put into the setup. It was really elaborate and well thought out. These types of movies usually piss me off, but this was a good approach.

UNFORTUNATELY, it was not at all effective. The ridiculous amount of audio clipping going on makes the sudden scream pretty much on par with the rest of the audio, so there's little shock.

My advice is that you take the audio and make it much more soothing. Then, it will build more interest and suspense when the viewer is waiting to hear the backwards lyrics.

You got me believing that I was going to hear some backwards masking, but the pity is that even though you tricked me, you wasted it!

I say fix and resubmit. Good luck!

strong showing

I liked this. Very nice illustration, and very nice conception on the whole (of both visuals and story).

Some constructive criticism, if I may:

1. The file size is huge, and there is no pre-loader. Thus, I think it made the animation run really slow and choppy.

2. The music and visuals were a funny juxtaposition, but I don't think it was enough to carry the whole movie. Perhaps some dialogue or subtitles?

Either way, this was enjoyable and it was a strong piece that ultimately tops its own flaws.

source material demands more

Technical issues (balancing audio, SF/X) aside...

The source material "..Ivan..." is wonderful. Your estabishing shot was incredible, and I was expecting the rest of the animation to do right by it. But ultimately it fell a bit short. The characters (animated vastly differently than the background) stood out as awkward. I think the music was too much - it robbed the animation of any sense of subtlty.

Strong effort, though. And, really, excellent job with the backgrounds.

I could make a career of being blue. I could dress in black and read Camus. Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth like I was 17, that would be a scream. But, I don't want to get over you. - Stephin Merrit
