You don't get the film or you don't get why it has not received harsher criticism ? Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Useful resource. Neat movie for the art and technique.

No real plot, that would have been a bonus.

When I read "The Knife" I thought "what Genesis"?

Ha, I'm just really, really old. :o)

It's a cute sketch, sort of a rough draft of the mood for a scene. As a finished film, though, it leaves much to be desired.

- Why do the trees float?
- When we are approaching the first light source, some tension develops. We then whiz past it, seeing an unexplained cone of light from an invisible light source. Why?
- This keeps happening, though never as blatantly as the first. Is it an accident? What are these lights supposed to be?
- Why are there lights in the woods at all? Why does the character pay them no regard whatsoever?
- The character never waivers from his simple walk cycle, does he? If he's scared, shouldn't there be some sort of reaction?

It's a great start. Now write a story and use the animation to tell it.

Give him a goal, some motivation for being there. Have some things happen and animate his reaction to them. Make sure we know why he reacts the way he does. Build on the tension, create a climactic event, release the tension and let the end credits roll. *Then* you'll have a short film.

The credits (start + end) make for about 40% of the movie ;) but otherwise it's… interesting.

Sincerely,

Carl Complaint.

Thanks for sharing the project files but, you might want to clean them up a bit. There are a ton of things that could be removed to greatly reduce the size of the download. Thanks again!
