Unfortunately, no. Not even close. I would absolutely have no problem providing stuff remotely, though. Let me know if you plan on doing another and I'll try to send you some samples. I do some damn good impressions.

Wowsa!! Great work to ALL those involved in this project!! This looks very top notch!!! Can VEI upload this as an 'free' option on Comixology??

The only thing I would tweek was the speed of the story. Im guessing it probable needs to be about 20 minutes instead of nearly 24.


I really enjoyed this!! Just amazing!!!!

Hell of a job! Nicely done.

The sound design, voice work and tempo all felt great to me. Congrats on completing one hell of a great project.

If you decide to do another, I bet this one is evidence enough for Valiant to give you layered art files so you can cut the art up into layers and do some object independent animation and motion parallax. If you'd like help, I'm an animator and would be happy to help out on a few scenes. Check out my animation work at Krop.com/mataxis and let me know if you'd like help.

Again, great job!

Oh, wow, Carson, those are some great videos. Serious animation talent. Yeah, I felt somewhat constrained by the flat single layer and by the thought bubbles. I wasn't about to spend a lot of time trying to remove the bubbles or separate the characters from the background (although I did consider it). It would have taken me forever... In the end I focused more on audio since I felt most viewers would have seen the artwork before.

Thank you so much for the offer!!! Really appreciate it and will definitely keep it in mind!

Yeah, cutting it up yourself and trying to color in backgrounds where the holes would be would be extremely time consuming! I'm hoping if Valiant loves this piece and wants to see another one with layered animation, they'll team up with us and give us the layered assets... at least where we could turn off word bubbles and extend colors, etc.

Let me know if/when you wanna work on another one! You did an amazing job with this one and I'd love to help out on the next.

That's a really good review! All they did was say how great your video was: Excellent! :D
(By British standards by the way, you now have the right to be 'chuffed' :lol: )

Really loved your Bloodshot photo-shoot when you first posted that, bribri. I will check out this motion comic when I get a chance (and not from my slow-to-load phone). Sounds awesome. :thumb:
