===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Great concept. The quality of the animation was good based on the style of animation. It could have used more realism. You should have had the character crawling up to the door to make it more dramatic. ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: JV: There is a small black square that is visible when the building first appears, but then vanishes after a small number of frames. Is this an MPEG artifact or a leftover? The rock wall is simulated with the crackle pigment pattern and a different normal pattern; this doesn't produce convincing results. At the start of the final wipe there is a sudden change in the overall intensity of the image, and it blurs a bit, too. The lighting is good, however. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: lol :) Good animation and a really funny punch-line. The character looks very cool (no pun intended) because he's made out of such nice shapes without trying to look real. The only criticism I would have is it's too short, we should see more of his struggle to reach the peak rather than just that lengthy establishing shot. But obviously there's never time to do everything you want. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: A simple human, but still clearly human, with obvious emotions. The story line is short, but shows at least some part of a journey for meaning. Also the fade in the beginning was nicely done. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Clever. Very expressive body language. The mountain in the beginning could use better detail. Good minimalist story.
