WHC Match - Rob vs Cam (C) **Match Ends in 2-2 Draw**

lolwut

Cam: Nicely done, the animation had a great flow with good amount of pics but the jumping into the RKO was too slow, the joint movement was okay, Orton needed more movement when landing with the RKO, Punk too needed more movement in his arms during the fall, besides that the movement was good, the reaction was good but didn't really go with the move, lighting was good but I saw a lot of string, overall, not as good as per usual.


Rob: Really nicely done, just like Cam's the animation had a great flow with a good amount of pics, but unlike Cam's, I think the speed was perfect, the movement was really nice through-out, there are a few things that could be improved such as Bourne's movement during the Airbourne, his arms seemed to not move so much, the reaction by Bourne was really weak and lacking, lighting was good and I didn't see string, nicely done.

Alright gentlemen, I've watched both animations closely a few times. Here are my thoughts...


Arrow: I thought your animation was the smoother looking one out of the two. You took the right amount of pictures and it flows really, really well. There is no shakiness and it isn't fidgety at all. I was even looking closely at Punk's feet from the start of the animation and there was no awkward movements. I feel like Orton's jump was a BIT too high, but it balances out when he hooks Punk's head and they both begin to fall. The impact was nice as they both hit the mat realistically. I feel as though Punk's reaction to the initial impact could have been done better, as he just kind of pushes himself over instead of bouncing up a bit. However, the second part of his reaction looked good. I personally wish he reacted more by holding his head/chest, but what was done worked pretty well. Orton looking back, then posing looked good as well. I also think the sound could have been better. I didn't like how it just cut out abruptly. Overall, you did an excellent job. It's a simple animation, and at the end of the day, I think the WHC doesn't need crazy stips with several big moves involved. This way, the animators could focus on the quality of the animation and could pick up on little details they would normally overlook.

Rob: I've always been a big fan of your animations. Your running looks incredible. I seriously wish I was that good. The way Evan ran across the ropes at the beginning was no exception, It looked awesome and flowed really well. I like the way he jumped up and bounced off the ropes before the launch, it was really life-like and a nice touch. You really get the feel of momentum behind it. Another nice little touch I enjoyed was when Randy started sitting up right before Evan took off. The catch was good but for some reason I feel like it should have happened a frame or two earlier. Orton seemed a little fidgety to me while he was laying in wait. The actual SSP was a nice touch and Evan looked really good during the whole course of it. The impact looked brutal. I loved it. Especially the way the ladder kind of bounced along with the impact. Evan's reaction was great as it was very realistic. He was just fidgety at the end there. The rope bounce looks really nice on your ring, it's one thing that I dislike about the Elite Scale Ring. The Ropes just don't have good movement for that stuff. That's not Cam's fault though, so I can't necessarily fault him on that, as it's the same with my animations. I do like the fact that Orton stands up after the move and poses, BUT it looks really fidgety and awkward. I think if you kept him laying on the ground, it would have been more effective. Even if he tried to stand but couldn't and fell back down. One last thing that bothered me the most... The way the camera moves in during the actual animation itself. It annoyed me and was distracting to watch. If you could avoid doing that in future animations, I feel like it would help you ALOT more. Unfortunately, here, it only hinders your animation. However, I feel like your sound was awesome and it matched up to the animation pretty perfectly.

Honestly, you both made awesome animations, and you should both be proud of your work and keep improving and picking up on the little details.

My vote goes to Cam, as his animation was the smoother of the two. Rob, without the camera movements and the fidgety-ness, I feel like this could have been all you, but you came up JUST short in my opinion. Better luck next time. Please, don't let this discourage you. Keep up with the awesome animations.

Arrow: 8/10
Rob:7.5/10
