[Oddball: Barrels]

You really need to work on giving more spacial clues to the audience. Basically I have little idea where the characters and barrels are in relation to each other, except when they're on the screen at the same time. An establishing or wide shot early on showing all of the characters and major props are would fix this issue.

You also jumped the 180-rule/line of action which caused some confusion. Early on the barrels are shown on the left side of the scenes and the characters are looking at them (so I assume they are on the right side). But in the last shot the characters appear to be on the left side of the road.

Other than that the effects, voices, animation, and art are all top notch! Just need to work on spacial continuity.

Kreid responds:

Oh god I know, this video has been on the side for a long time, and I only learned about the 180 rule part way through it, and didn't think to look back over it with the rule in mind. Thanks for the helpful pointers!

[Oddball Omnibus (Ch 1-3)]

Well done, but I felt like it was missing something. Art, audio, acting, animation are all well done, but I can't quite put my finger on what wasn't working. Usually for me the 'cinematography' needs to pull me in, and I'm not feeling it here. Another reviewer mentioned too many close ups, and I'm inclined to agree. Some wider shots would give us space and environment clues, and can be used for better visual metaphors in certain scenes.

That said, the color palettes separating the mechanical from the living world was a nice choice. Looking forward to the next.

Kreid responds:

Thanks, I'm definitely going to keep the cinematic works in mind, thanks for pointing those out :)
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the positives on the colours

[EVo3: Finally Some Action]

Causality! It's been awhile since I watched the last episode but from what I can tell there's been an improvement in animation; the movements are less jerky. Good writing, good pacing, good art. Keep it up, I enjoy this series!

vezanmatics responds:

Thanks! I always like a fan!

[Peter Peel: can can can't]

Egad! Is that Felix?

It's nice to see something from you again. A charming little animation; I hope there's more to come.

FelixMassie responds:

Thanks - yep, more to come! Glad to see you still making things too. Was sad when I saw it wasn't your name down to direct that new Tron film coming out!

[OT01: Out There]
