I'm not the best animator in the world, I don't know a lot of vocabulary about animation and severals of you will certainly not agree with what I'll say, but I would like to create my own cnc anyways (what I will say is purely subjective) :
I'm starting with Alex303 :
Positive points :
- First of all, you respected the theme of the fight, we understand why Blaze and Shadow are fighting each other.
- The dialogue was correctly animated, characters are moving to express their feelings, I mean it's not just 2 characters who are just standing with an idle pose and talking.
- The fight and combos are very smooth and pretty dynamic.
- The environment was well used, you made us feel that the fight is in a tower because characters was jumping on walls at severals times.
- I like the "conception" of impacts, zoom in when they hit and zoom out when they go away.
- The post prod was pretty good, I like the blur to give a fast effect.
Negative points :
- The text was maybe a bit too simple, insipid, with only one color. It makes the scene just a little bit plat.
- The kick at 0:16 was a bit "cut", the camera soudainly zoom in the impact, maybe you should made like you did before for the others impacts : zoom in but not too much, in adding some speedlines too.
- At 0:20 when shadow gets propelled in the roof, I think there is a little false agreement with the rotation, when Blaze kicked him he should turn clockwise.
- In the sequence at 0:22 the tower seems really high whereas at 0:13 we can se his real height.
Now PsyMatterTH :
Positive points :
- The fight was pretty smooth and some combos was quite well done.
- I quite liked the sequence at 0:15 even if there are some things to fix.
Negative points :
- The very first negative point that I noticed is the fact that you forgot the main reason of the battle, we can't really understand why these characters are fighting each other. (Did someone stole an emerald or something like that and who ? We can assume that it seems to be Blaze because it's Shadow who comes to her but we're not sure about that)
- There was some false agreement and some stuff useless : at 0:11 shadow should turn clockwise and especially at the beginning, Blaze has his hand on fire and when Shadow was come, the fire soudainly disappear.
- There was severals lack of hitlag, during the first kick of Shadow, especially at 0:10 there is not a single hitlag whereas Shadow got propelled on the ground just after this kick, oh and when he fell on the ground.
- At 0:22, the sequence was plat, you really could make it more dynamic, the fall was a little too dry.
- The fight wasn't really finished (we can assume Shadow won but you see what i'm mean)
Each of you made a great part, but my vote is for Alex303 because his part was more dynamic and understable. Psy, you did a great job but you need to focus on what are you doing and why, to not show some false agreement and keep in mind the reasons of a fight, not fighting for the pleasure especially if there is a cause for the fight.
But I repeat, it's only my opinion.
:blushplz:Great job you two !:blushplz:
