			<description><![CDATA[I think your films are good, but as with every animator (every animator!!) they can use a little work. Nopony's perfect, and therefore you should strive for perfection. Ooops, I contradicted myself. :3
Well, just listen to what others have to say so that you [i]improve[/i] your work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alfa, I think you need to slow down and read over some posts again. From what you've said, you only think people are pointing out the cons of the film instead of both the pros and cons. However, the reality is that people have stated both. Now, I don't mean to wake a dead horse here, but if you want people to notice the good qualities of your film(s), then you have to start reading the criticism without saying "Why do people always hate my videos..." sort of thing. Please, do not take this as me being rude or not understanding what position you're in, as we've been there ourselves.


Looking at the test again, the animation isn't too bad, but it's still a bit choppy. Everything else seems to need a bit of work, but you should be able to do that in the near future ;) .]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[well, I'm actually over it, because, as a matter of fact the other day, I applied for a course on 3d Animation and Game design. now, you need to have finished yr12 for that, and I only did yr10, yet, I got a message from the teacher saying that I was allowed in cause of how [i]Good[/i] my animations are.

			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Kidden, while I believe what you're saying is true, people really should say something good. It wasn't bad enough for people to be as rude to Alfa as they have been.[quote=Just Kidden]Well if you're asking if your film is good, posting it on a forum, and asking people for their opinion, they're going to give it to you. It doesn't matter if you had fun making them or if you're happy with them, people are going to tell you what they think about your film and they're going to be honest. You aren't entitled to positive feedback, you're going to get it if the film is good (which it isn't).

EDIT: 
[quote=alfa animations]?feedback?[/quote]

There must be something wrong with you. Do you even know what feedback is?[/quote]]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Okay, here's my view. 

[b]The Good:[/b]The animation was decent. I found that for a short test the animation met my standards and was smooth enough. The effects were also decent. I am not experienced in special effects, but as a viewer, I found the effects to look suitable. The lightning scene with the skeleton was pulled of nicely, in my opinion. The music and sound effects were also of good selection. I also found your use of camera angles interesting. 

[b]The Bad:[/b]There was light flicker. Not extreme like in some really bad cases, but a noticeable amount. I myself am not free of it, but it needs to go to make the film quality not look cheap. At times, the effects did look fake. This was mostly with the lightsabers, which at times looked flat and 2D. Although it was just a test, it would have been nice to have seen you mask the parts that needed masking. Although most of your camera angles were good, I found there were times when the camera seemed far from the action when it need not be. Oh, and the camera seemed to have been bumped often. 

[b]Advice:[/b] Even though it is a test, you should try to do your best for it, including masking the scenes you didn't mask, for example. Test are for practising and improving, so give them your best shot. Also try to give you camera a strong stand where a slight nudge will not make it change position, even slightly. Such 'vibrations' in the film aren't nice to see when unintended. I'm afraid I can't give you advice for effects, since I am not experienced in the stuff myself. But I can tell you they need to be improved. Look back at my point on the lightsabers. And try to make your title screen shorter. I found it dragged on a bit longer then I felt it needed to be on screen. 

I'm not going to judge the set since it was a test on effects (I believe). But again, since it was a [i]test[/i], [b]please[/b] put it in the 'WIP and tests' form, [b]not[/b] in the' release' form. 

Last point. Every film has pros and cons. Sometimes the cons will outweigh the pros, and people often are not afraid to point that out. However, understand what they don't like, so you know just what to improve on. I found it a rather decent test, but it can be improved. 

There are greats that have started with stuff much worse than this. ;)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Some of the effects were good (I liked the lightsaber clashes) but at times the lightsabers looked really fake. The area between the blade and the colored outline should be a bit blurrier, and the tips should be rounded. I think that with a bit more practice, you'll be able to create a realistic effect. By the way, the title sequence was way too long. It made up almost half of the video when it only had to be about 3 seconds long.]]></description>
