===== From agage@mines.edu: The terrain, lighting, and camera angle are good, though the creatures in general need a few adjustments. First, the motion just after leaving the first castle and before entering the second surges a bit, which betrays the dynamics of flight. Also, the creatures seem to be totally solid in texture, as opposed to having different areas textured differently. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Just improving the castle texture (instead of monochromatic grey) would take this animation a long way. The speed of the bat-things should be smoother. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Very good camera work. Eerie settings. Nice tie-in with the theme: one of the few to actually show something being transported! Heavy pixellation of the heightfield -- how about using one heightfield for the distant landscape, and a second one for the closeup area? Good animation of the creature's movement and wings. ===== From nazrat@athabascau.ca: Time to dust off those physics books. Acceleration was uneven, jerky. Flight path was not connected to flap strength or rhythm. Camera movement could have been smoother. Nice setting. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The wing motion was excellent, more detail for the castle, a longer movie with more of a story would have helped this animation. ===== From hcousineau@usa.net: I like the castle, and the concept. Probably because I love castles, buy hey, that is not the point. ===== From r@dmsst59.d.resnet.pitt.edu: Nice wing deformation but rather drab. ===== From r@cust150.webbernet.net: Nice as far as it goes but, as you say, sketchy. The sky is very dramatic. The wing animation is well done. Not much story, but at least a nod in that direction. Should sky castles really be so blocky? ===== From r@w3inet-phx.sps.mot.com: Nice scene! One small problem -- the wing motion is too slow for such small wings -- it isn't clear what the motion is accomplishing. Still, it's not a bad little clip. Notable for originality, composition
