Yamil, very cool: this shows tremendous potential. You are clearly thinking like a video maker and translating that into animated content. Your time composition skills are very advanced. You have constructed a suitable, interesting narrative and delivered the plot...
Problems I see: simple sense of time, velocity of layers. It is not really pacing: your scenes flow well, it is just that animated events timing if off. I understand that there is supposed to be an element of nerdy humor in the pretended slowness and immobility of characters.. However in order to make that work you have to clarify your intention. It seems like sometimes some objects move normal speed while others travel in zero gravity. Consider using graph editor of speed acceleration. The visual design is already very interesting. If you decide to continue this style, decide how the characters move, speak, interact. Give them some psychological depth. This has to do with simple design decision (eyes, mouth, hands. Add more detail to your figures and backgrounds to visually ground your viewers..
Would you like to continue developing this or start a brand new animation for your final project?
Hey Yamil. I really appreciate the hand drawn aspects of the clip. For the most part, the motion, particularly the ball, was well done IMO. I do think a bit of animation in the face could help as well as putting some joints in the knees and elbows of the players to get some real good motion going. Also, some of the clips need to be trimmed by a second or two because you can see the layers. Overall, it was cool to see, and I feel that it's a cool piece.
Hey Yamil, this hand drawn animation was cool and well done. I like the motion of these characters and the ball. At the same time, you should add something for the last ten seconds of video to make things a little more interesting.
