Title: Fallen Angel

Part 2 has been released too, part 3 is coming tomorrow

remember like, 4 fucking years ago when the teaser for this came out and nobody thought it would go anywhere? It's amazing. The backgrounds and general scenery are fantastic, the atmosphere is great, the score/sound would have to be my favorite part of this, I think it's what makes this animation. The only problem I have with it is that the little character animation that it has is sloppy compared to the rest of the movie and the anatomy is weird, like what the fuck is that space doing between her legs?? Kind of brings it down. Too bad.

Haha yeah i was looking at that too and was thinking to myself that's quite the gap she has, and when it's just a silhouette of her walking it looks really bad but all in all none of that really matters because HOLY SHIT Fallen Angel actually made it past a teaser finally.

I was very excited to see this on the front page this morning.

I think someone needs to work on her FBF (his?)

Well everything about it was dandy except the people weren't well formed.  A shame because for me thats where the real crunch of animation and talent is.  Not just manipulating special effects, but pure artistic skill in fluid movement.  Maybe the second and third ones will be different.

And I just noticed the Episode 1 tag.  A little over-ambitious?

I just watched the second one, much much better in terms of movement.  Still tween heavy, but used very efficiently.

Ugh, I totally agree about the character animation. I think the trailer was far superior in how it handled character movement... went more with tweens/krinkels technique. i haven't even watched the whole thing yet though

Post by: rtil on October 25, 2008 05:57 PM
it's like a high budget hollywood action movie except in flash

so will episode 2 come out in 2012?
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: notorious on October 25, 2008 06:23 PM
lmfao yeah probably

to be honest i was a little disappointed for something that took 4 years, but part 3 has yet to be released so

fuck it really this shouldn't have taken over 4 years

it is nic though
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: ansel on October 25, 2008 06:51 PM
damn

i must say i am somewhat disappointed

maybe it'll get better. i did very much like some of the scenes though... some parts were extremely well done, and others were somewhat mediocre, but none of them compared to the trailer... I think extreme-flash is not connected with fallen angel anymore, and perhaps they were behind the quality of the teaser, which was really good enough to be on tha silver screen

so it goes

Post by: rtil on October 25, 2008 07:26 PM
i dunno

i think this actual episode is better than the teaser

either way i could see how this could take a very long time

the guy's probably working on it by himself, and he must have a job and a life etc etc
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: notorious on October 25, 2008 08:37 PM
actually he's got a few assistants, as you'll see in the opening credits. I know for sure there was at least one other animator helping out

I visited the forums of the site for that animation today and all pretty much everyone is talking about is how hot the main character is

also several of them have criticisms but they all fail to realize the biggest flaw with the character design in the beginning which is that no one has that fucking gap between their legs

Waterlollies was better than this and that only took half as long I think

is that really such a big deal? and yes some women do have that gap between their legs. it's not as prominent but it is there. either way, who gives a shit? it's a cartoon character
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: notorious on October 25, 2008 09:10 PM
I have not ever seen a woman with such a gap between their legs, and for me if you're going to do the rest of the film right you should have the physique down just as well, especially if you're aiming for realism which is clearly what he's going for

Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: sQueef on October 26, 2008 01:27 AM
yeah the gap exists on a lot of women and its considered sexy by a lot of guys but its not like fucking half a foot wide like this guy drew it so i agree with notorious!!

Post by: Greenkitten on October 26, 2008 01:54 AM
I found the story to be a bit cliché, but it has the spirit. and 4 years holy fuck, I definitely couldn't be bothered spending all that time on this. He probably couldn't be fucked fixing the tiny flaws after spending this much time on it.

It's pretty neat if you ask me.

And there's supposed to be one more part as well but the guy haven't release it yet.

Post by: Michelle on October 26, 2008 09:03 AM
okay her gap shows for like 5 seconds so hu care

i really like the special effects but part 2 was so far the only part that got me interested throughout watching it
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: SnawsBall on October 26, 2008 02:40 PM
Well, I watched all three parts, I thought it was good work. Very well done.

3rd part was the best.  It left a little gap in the plot as to why the fuck she killed the gas mask people, but the nuke scene was fucking awesome.

I concur, I enjoyed everything very much as well. I am sure the next part will be out soon, well hopefully.

It wont.  Which is why the plot hole pisses me off.  The suspense and curiosity is killed when you have to wait several years for a sequel.

I'm all for a complex plot without "Here is what will happen, have a nice day", or "One man kills teh teh teh", but I don't understand what kind of direction this series is moving in.

It was worth watching, but not worth that 4.85 it had for the first 2 days it was out. His character animation needs work, but his backgrounds, vehicles and technology drawings/animations are grade-A.
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: Crabarms on November 1, 2008 10:11 AM
I like it, but sorta dont like how it seems really close to the opening of the horrible resident evil movie well the 2nd one...
but then again probably other things used scenarios like that have been done before, and i could be thinking to much and not enjoying it for the moment.
Animation is swell I like the backgrounds.

It was interesting. Nothing I didn't expect though. I thought he would delve more into the main story instead of the back story. I like his use of vector 3D though, not seen a whole lot these days, and he was smart about it. He should create a team so it won't take 4 years to do 9 minutes.
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: rtil on November 9, 2008 08:28 PM
if you look at the credits, it seems like he already has a team
Title: Fallen Angel
Post by: zomfgbie on November 9, 2008 08:31 PM
it was pretty boring and 3+ years is waaaay too long

the animation was incredibly impressive though. like i even had to say that

A minute team. And he did most of everything, they provided little animation here and there. he also needs help with story. he could of told the end of the world in such a better fashion.

The animation was the worst part. Rotoscoping and poorly rendered cel-chaded CG models are the opposite of impressive.
