You know I love ya Arthur, and because of that fact I won't pull any punches.
First and foremost, this was a huge ass deviation from anything I have come to visually associate with you. That's understandable being as it is a collaboration with a lot of other people, but I still found myself searching for those distinctive bits that I could peg as being done by you.
Story wise, I loved it man. Unique, original, and poignant..... the only flaw I found was that I was a tad bit confused by the introduction, but as the story unfolded it all fell into place.
The sound was well done too, the narrative and music fit perfectly with the imagery.
The overall style of the movie was pretty interesting. Again, nothing I have really come to associate with your style, but I still liked it. It suited the story perfectly.
I gotta agree with Beamish about the character models though, I felt they were lacking. Now if this was an entirely 2D rendered movie, the models would have been bloody genius bud. But it wasn't, and I have to be honest that the blocky design of the characters in a 3D context I did not like at all. I found that it came across to me personally as lazy rigging, taking the quick way out sort of thing. I know that wasn't the case, hell the texture maps on the models prove that you guys put major work in.... but someone who doesn't understand the animation process may see it as poor animation.
Overall though, I did enjoy it. Enough that I watched it again a few times. I enjoyed it more after watching your making of video, after I could tie your work to what was happening on screen I found it even more interesting.
So yeah..... you know it is all said with love and good intent bud. Exactly what I would expect back from you!
So on the Bigfoot scale I give ya a 7/10!
