emily Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 What's happening, folks? I've got a bit of a new animation to share today. I've been working with the assets from Templar's BIONICLE stuff to make my own animations for a few years now (time really does fly, my gosh), and for this one I aimed for a distinct change of pace to match working in a new setting. I really wanted to bring out the characters here, focusing on what I'd like to think are subtleties in movement and behavior - the stuff where the real fun is at. This all in contrast to the more action-oriented stuff I have done previously. This is really only a part of what I hope will be a longer animation that completes the story set up here, but I had to get this specific part done for a project and it turned out so nice I really wanted to share it. (and if you want to see the other stuff I've done, go here - heads up that the earlier ones are pretty stinky, though) I love feedback so don't hold back, type up a post!

Quisoves Potoo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hmmmm.... I'm not sure what to make of this one. There's nothing overtly wrong with it, aside from the buzzing (which I normally like, but was annoyed by here, especially with the clicking at the loop's end), and it is part of a larger opus, but it lacks, for want of a better word, pizzazz. There is no discernible pace, which isn't always a problem (see 2001: A Space Odyssey,) but made it harder for me to be immersed.The Ko-Koro ones, while a bit slow, had cool camera angles and a nice atmosphere, even when little was going on. This one is just... there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The buzzing is a bit of a nuisance. Is there no other ambient noise you can get? Otherwise, it looks nice.... is this going in the Bohrok Swarms? It does feel a bit slow-paced, but that's because I read fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is just... there. Fair enough! I tried something else here and I know I can't please everyone. I'd like to think that part of it is that this really wasn't written to be a standalone episode - maybe it will hold up better for you once it has been set into its proper context. Re: the buzzing/horns, Quis your ears must be far beyond mine because I cannot for the life of me detect a click in the loop. Will keep that in mind for later stuff, though. @aidenpons I could have done something else, but the horns are kind of emblematic of Onu-Koro and it wouldn't have felt right to me to do anything else.

Alcom Isst Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I like this one. BIONICLE's flash assets get weird with action sequences, but they're great for some fancy BIONICLE character development. emily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
