A Gift From Above

YouTube

A man alone in a forest on Christmas Eve discovers what it means to get a gift from above.

I wish I could've done a better job on the film, but this whole month has been crazy so I'm lucky I had the time just to make this. mini/cat

Re: A Gift From Above

The lighting was really, really good, I liked it a whole lot. You are very brilliant with that. mini/smile The set is very nice, and the animation smooth.

I liked the film, but I feel that it could use just a bit of improvement in a few areas of the execution.
The bells should have been a whole lot softer, just loud enough to hear it, and also a good bit of echo/reverberation would have greatly improved the mysterious atmosphere. Also, the swish should have been much softer as well.
Though the lighting was really great, I think that there should have been a transition from the regular lighting to the spotlight. Perhaps a very short fade transition to smooth it out slightly.

That was very creative, but I agree about softening the bell noises, as they almost completely masked the joyous cheers of Santa Claus. Also, nice and smooth animation! Good work mini/sunnies
