Re: The Emperor's Royal Guard
Your animation is spectacular, Zach. Easily some of the best on this site. You truly incorporate animation elements of weight and anticipation with brilliance and craftsmanship. But... once again I've been underwhelmed with the comedy and storyline of your films. I'd love to see a film out of you that didn't involve somebody being mauled, or contained a painfully long awkward pause.
Also, (and I'm guilty of this to some degree with my live action work,) but I'm beginning to become absolutely disgusted with the current trend in brickfilming of gratuitous swearing for the sake of making lines funnier, in a cheap, unoriginal way. The f-bomb, while bleeped, was completely unnecessary and took away from the final moment of the film, making the punchline a real cop-out.
So, for this film, I must praise the technical aspects, which were masterfully executed, but I have to take points off for the rather unimaginative and unoriginal plot and comedy.
3.5/5
