Illusion
A short trailer about a soldier who had to come back from war, but can't forget what happened to him and his friends.
Very good job!
The animation was smooth. (Mostly, but more on that later.) The effects were generally well done, and the story was told very well. It had a good balance between telling the story, and having that "Trailer" feel. I had the feeling of seeing his story play out with the highlights, but it felt like there was a lot more to it, and that it was part of a larger, more in-depth story.
There was a little bit of light-flicker, a few camera bumps, and the bomb at 1:48 didn't mesh well with the rest of the shot.
(But that could be another way to show that it's not really a bomb.)
But the animation was inconsistent. In the first shots it was very smooth, and had that "extra frames added in post" look. (That's not necessarily a bad thing.) But then from 1:42 on it looked like normal, unaltered animation, and of a much lower quality. It was kinda jarring when it switched, and took me out of the movie for a sec, but truthfully it would have taken a lot more than that to ruin this brickfilm.
