Fluid motion.

What I liked about this movie was the use of motion. The paddles went back and forth and the ball's motion smearing was pretty good. The different ways the paddles confronted each other kept the movie away from monotony. The rain and background were nice touches to the movie, and I think it helped set the tone of the movie.

The choice of audio was good. It wasn't intrusive, but it could still be noticed. It had an eerie feel to it, and without it, the movie would have felt empty.

Unfortunately, it may have been too fast to enjoy comfortably. I would say the paddles should have started off slow, as if it were a more regular game, but quickly escalates to the level of "violence" you show in the movie. The paddles "wiggle" around a lot and stretch and contract frequently, and you could work on making straighter paddles that look and behave as rigid objects, not abstract lines.

Using ping-pong is a good change from generic stickman movies, and I think you should start trying out frame-by-frame animation that goes "beyond" stickmen. Well done.

thanks for the review :D

That could motivate a planet.

I liked what you did with how the man changed as he moved through periods of time, but it gets a bit boring when you realize that the movie follows the same general format. It would help if there was more camera movement around the man.

Hope you win that contest, whatever the hell it is.

vezanmatics responds:

i will let you know in december of 2011 how the contest pans out! :D

what kinds of camera movements would you suggest?

Shut up, Speakonia!

Six is for the content, just a little work on the audio would work. I'm sick and tired of listening to the same computerized voice used with Clocks.

0/5, Real audio helps.

Dimanti-San responds:

Srry, but I only use it because I don't have any means of recording ATM.

Good enough

It was sort of boring near the start, and ome voice acting would help. Animation is good though.

OxSox responds:

Aw, come on. You mean to say you have the ability to get bored within 30 seconds? I thought the build up was quite necessary. Thanks for the review though.
