I mean really every review I've seen you post you say it's corny or stupid you know what their are better animators out their than you you just don't want to admit it and it's not just because you have me a bad review on my video too the His video was great!
Hehe, I get comments like this all the time. I'm sure if you keep following gppproductions he will make a positive review. And just because he may enjoy nitpicking or have different tastes (I'm guilty of both crimes myself) doesn't mean he's jealous. And please dont Pearl Harbour his animation, that's a cowardly and rather pathetic thing to do just because he didn't like your movie. I know because I did this myself - and grew out of it. I suggest you do the same. I also suggest you improve your punctuation....
Now I've got that out of the way, the movie:
I did really like it. The concept was great, and the CG was (as usual) really good. I also liked the building sequences, and the animation was nice and smooth. However, I'm comparing this to Smeagol's REALLY high standards, so I have a few really cruel nitpicks:
The CG was composited brilliantly, but it didn't seem as polished or as well blended as Smeagol's past stuff. The CG stuck out against the real bricks much more than before, though this could just be due to Smeagol working with a brighter colour palette than before. I dunno, it was just something that I had a problem with....blame my weirdness.....
The music wasn't anything of note. Thats all I have to say. The sound effects were fine though - apart from the bit when we had a close up of the troll and Knight fighting, with Sword sound effects, and then we cut to just a few feet away....and the sound is gone? Where did it go? They are only fighting a few feet away, surely you would still be able to hear it, just a bit more quieter? I've seen re-enactments, and swords are actually quite loud in real life - although the sound is more dull than in the movies.
Finally, the live action part was a little cheesy. The actors were good though (did you shoot that part?)
That is all. These are only really small nitpicks, and they dont detract from the enjoyment much.
