Topic: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

This is sort of an extended fighting test, but I lengthed it to make a film.  I tried using  a shaky camera style effect, and I think it turned out pretty well.  Critiques are extremely welcomed mini/smile

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Very cool! I could see that your animation kept getting better throughout the film.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Oh man, that was incredible. The animation was good, I liked camera movements you did. It's just the lighting I think you need to fix, it was a bit dark throughout the film. Awesome work though, you've improved! mini/bigsmile

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Incredible!

DAMN you're better than me mini/tongue But a lot are better then me.

Anywho,

That was great! Your animation has improved a lot! As filmyguy said, the lighting could use some work.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Yeah, does anyone have any tips on lighting a night scene?  I just can't seem to achieve the right lighting.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Man that would have gone straight in my favorites if it weren't for the lighting. If you want to light a night scene then you need to light your foreground elements as if you were lighting a day scene, then place less light on your background elements. You cant just film the whole thing as normal then bring down the brightness in post. Shame, cause it was a good lego fight scene, and they're hard to come by.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

That was really cool! The lighting was ok, but could improve. Other than that, you're really good! mini/bigsmile

As a friend of mine once said,

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Cool fight, unfiting Matrix music, some light flickering and ackward punching sound effects.

Overall it's ok.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

The animation was just hilarious! Really great job! The camera movements were really awesome.
What a pity that the lighting and quality are not the best...

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

The fight scene was great and camera movements were good. Some of the camera movements were a little bumpy. I noticed that there was a little light flicker and the background turned reddish and then regular white, but that did not take away from the entertainment of the film. The darkness though, as many others said, made my eyes hurt and made it hard to watch all the way through. I really enjoyed it although there were a few flaws.

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Now I'm pissed off because WMG is gonna take all of the audio out of it because it had their song in it mini/rolleyes

Re: Batman Battles the Killer Croc

Sweet! Great movie there were very few things in it that need to be critiqued, a few I could find though were:
The sky background and your dim lights kind of contrasted each other.
&
The voices could of been done better. You should maybe use something to edit your voices so they sound a bit more.... different.

The things I enjoyed the most were how you had so many different camera angles that flowed so smoothly together and I also like how you lit the scene up when the flames came out of the Batmobile.
