SUMMER CATASTROPHE III: Match 1

My vote goes to #Showoff

Jack: Not a bad ani you have there Jack. At the beginning the movements before the initial lift up was pretty decent, but both Bourne and HBK could have had a deeper squat to build momentum before the actual move and add more realism to the move as well. The lift up was somewhat smooth and it didn't seem floaty or stiff at all, but the movements from Evan Bourne were pretty solid although HBK was a little fidgety in mid air imo and the way the camera angle changed right before impact made it look a bit choppy. I didn't like the impact to much and the reaction could have been better. 7.8/10

#Showoff: At the start I really like the set up before going into the initial move, the joint movement from both Evan Bourne and Ted were brilliant, it flowed incredibly well and it was very smooth. The lift up i'm not sure if it had something to do with the speed frame or if it's actually choppy but it looked like Evan was missing a few frames going upwards. The impact was good and I like the reaction from Evan Bourne. 8.3/10

#Showoff: Nicely done, had a good flow through-out but I didn't like the random stall in mid-air, the joint movement was pretty nice through-out but Bourne was stiff in mid-air and Ted could've used some more movement during the mid-air parts, the reaction was pretty nice but I would've liked more of a reaction instead of a skid across the ring, the lighting was good and I didn't see any string, loved the rope bounce too, nicely done, not one of your best but I still liked it.



Jack: Not bad, the animation had a nice flow through-out but like Showoff had a few small stalls through-out, the joint movement wasn't very good and was severely lacking through-out, HBK just put up his legs and stayed there during the mid-air part, I like that Bourne looked over before the move but it was not enough, I liked the reaction more than Showoff's but that's basically all that I preferred, the lighting was ok but the flashes annoyed me, saw a small amount of string too, not one of your good ones Jack.

My vote goes to Showoff

Jacks: Did not look like dream street to me, I know the figures articulation makes it hard to apply the million dollar dream but Jacks was not in at all. Showoff did a much better job of making it look like the actual move.
The majority of the animation was fine but the beginning really lets it down. The jump was good by HBK and the joint movements where realistic throughout the move. Impact was nice, however Evan looked like he sold it more than HBK to me.
Also not a fan of the sloppy bluetac, you need to try and hide it or just apply it neater. You can see some of it stuck to the ring and its hanging over the feet of the figures.
Overall it was a good animation but the beginning not actually being a dream street lets it down.
4/10

Showoff: Really good animation. The lift up was great, joint movements where perfect. I thought Di'biase was stiff, I know its a Basic figure but it is still stiff. The impact was nice with the rope bounce however I thought Bourne should have bounced a little. The reaction was great and overall a solid animation.
If I can be super picky, work on the angle. Its slanted so the ring looks it has collapsed, just looks bad in my opinion.
