cool, well animated but suffering some major issues.

1) character design. i’ve said it a billion times and i’ll say it again, Base Figs and their archetypes like Scarf Figs CANNOT capture emotion like a devolved fullbody can. through simply appearance and body language, you can tell exactly what kind of character they are, what they enjoy, whose side they’re on. with a base fig it’s impossible as everyone looks the same. a little detail like an eye or wires will do nothing, you need a fully developed fig. on top of that, to a viewer like my self, it’s hard to stay focused or even root for anyone when no one is unique or even remotely relatable.

2) clear plot) i haven’t a clue what actually happened. it’s flashy and cool but nothing more. it’s like a Fanfiction; it’s got lots of flowery language and fancy words but that’s only to hide it’s cr**py plot and boring characters. you need to focus on establishing whose the good guy, why he’s the good guy, what are his motives, who is the villain, where does this take place, etc. you only (minorly) explained who the protagonist is and what his motive is, THAT’S IT. never expect the viewer to know everything, expect them to know nothing so you may teach them everything.

3) this is more of a nitpick but i’ll say it anyway. the ‘tween’ button is not for decoration, nor is it a beginners tool. the best way to animate is to COMBINE Tween and Non-Tween by activating tween and then for those oh-so specific moments, hit the ‘Do not tween frame button’. this is what i do with my animations and it really helps. my animations aren’t this high quality (visually) so aren’t that good an example but being used by someone like you who is skilled, you could make something truly dazzling. just remember, ACTION IS ONLY 20% OF YOUR ANIMATION, NOT 90%

then why the f**k did he post it
