WF Animania XII | Match 3

Came down to Dustin, ZMW, and KKD for me

Dustin: One of your best, string wasn't noticeable, it was smooth, so great animation
ZMW: Great animation, really smooth, but running looked kinda wierd
KKD: Great animation, might just be me but didn't look as smooth as most of your other animations but still pretty good

VOTE: DUSTIN

ZMW: The animation was smooth but I just felt it was overall too fast, the taunt and first steps were at a pretty good speed then it went way too fast during the spear, it rushed way too much, joint movement was pretty good, I liked that Miz moved through-out the build up and pushed his arms up during the spear but I didn't like that you had him on the floor the whole time, Cody was stiff, during the running his arms moved but his lower arms didn't, impact was there but if you had've slowed down the animation it would've looked a lot better, reaction didn't make the most sense, I think a more realistic one would've been for him to land on his neck, roll over and hold his neck/chest instead of kicking his feet, lighting was good as was the string editing but I did see a few shadows.


Colter of Personality: The animation was pretty choppy which made it look fast, I really didn't like the amount of frames especially during Brock's running, he used such a small amount of frames to move, it was un-realistic, same with the way Brock rolled over after the landing, it just needed more frames, it wouldn't have looked so fast, joint movement wasn't good, Brock was quite stiff during the whole move as was Bourne, their limbs moved a bit but besides that it was lacking, impact was lacking because there was none, he seemed to just roll right off after going through the table not land onto the turnbuckles, reaction was the same as ZMW's, I think if he had've rolled around a bit more and showed more pain in his back, neck it would've been more realistic, lighting was good but I saw a shadow.


NAWowner: The animation was choppy, more than Colter's, really could've used more smoothening pics through-out, some parts you had an alright amount of pictures then in other parts you skipped lots, need a better consistency, joint movement was also a major problem, neither seemed to move the joints at all during the animation, even their limbs stayed in similar positions for several frames at a time, I did like how you had Bourne crunch up during the spear though, impact was severely lacking, no rope bounce no proper landing into the corner, reaction by Bourne was fairly realistic but it lacked a lot, he didn't move into the position he just got there, once in the position instead of just stopping he could've at least moved around a bit to feel the pain, lighting was odd how it was white in the middle and dark on the sides, I didn't see string but I saw a shadow.


wweleslie1: Wow..what a cluster. I honestly had no clue what was happening up until the spear so I won't comment on whatever it was, there wasn't a real lack of frames it was just so incredibly fidgety in both camera and figures, if you had've kept a good flow it would've been a lot better but it was out of whack, joint movement was completely non-existent during the actual spear, Ryback moved forward but didn't move his joints, Truth just stood there and waited, however I did like that you had Paul Heyman moving though, impact was non-existent, I had no clue what the end was about how Truth suddenly changed places with Ryback, same with reaction, there was none of it, lighting wasn't great and as said before the camera was shaky, there is lots of room for improvement.


Dustin: The animation was smooth, it had a pretty nice amount of frames during it, the speed was quite slow during it, the trajectory was off for the move which was a major problem, he jumped up and moved forward then when he realised he wasn't in a good place to get speared he defied gravity by then going backwards into the spear, you should've timed the move better, joint movement wasn't great, Christian moved a bit at the start of his time in mid air and a bit at the end, didn't have a continual flow, Reigns too lacked movement, his arms stayed in one position and just jumped into it, not trying to hold onto Christian anymore, after the move the impact was severely lacking, Cage should've landed in the table and then moved, not just hit the table then roll over, reaction was lacking as Christian was out of frame (laziness.) Lighting was good bt I saw quite a bit of string.


Steely200: The animation was pretty smooth but fidgety at the end of it during the mid air parts of the spear, instead of what they should've done in going straight through the table they fidgeted around in mid air before landing, joint movement was lcing, during the running by Bryan it lacked in joint movement, and during the mid air parts where they stayed in the same position during the fall into the table, Dolph should've crunched up before landing into the table, he stayed stiff as a board, same with Bryan, he lacked movement during that part, impact and reaction were lacking as a frame or two after they landed it faded to black, that kind of laziness really disappoints me, it's not hard to even add a reaction, lighting was pretty good but I saw some string and a few shadows, could've used a lot more effort to it.


KKD: The animation wasn't very smooth, it certainly could've used more smoothening pic, it did have a good flow but I wouldn't classify it as crazy smooth, joint movement was the best in the match, Reigns had the best arm movement and Sheamus had good build up movement, during the spear was a problem as there wasn't much of a crunch by Sheamus by the spear as a reaction to being hit by the move, impact was lacking, Roman Reigns could've had a bounce off of Sheamus and that lead into a reaction but it wasn't there and they just landed, that was a major problem for them all, reaction was severely lacking, Sheamus should've landed and then moved around and held onto his neck/back but instead he just landed and moved a tiny bit, that really cost you in this one, lighting was good but I saw some shadows, this one could've been much better with a bit more effort.

ZMW: First off, very smooth animation. You took a nice amount of pictures which caused it to have good flow and fluidity however i think you got the movements all wrong. It's kinda immpossible i'd say to spear someone through a standing up table like that i mean, you cant get enough momentum to break the table from that position it just wouldnt work, in future have it in the corner. There was a frame after the running where it needed more because it gave it a choppy look to the animation and just looked weird. Overall i think you couldve sped up the running too as the pace of the animationchanged from the running into the move. 5/10

Colter of personality: Actually realy impressed with this one man. The running ad a nice speed and was done well, and the whole pace of the animation was very realistic and had great impact. I just think that the only wrong doing in the animation was there was choppyness in the spear and you needed to take more pictures and get the spacing right to fix that. More pics needed to be taken to create a smoother look to the animation and i think maybe a few more in the running too. I think the movements were ok though and looked good just work on keeping a consistent flow throughout but good effort! 4/10

Nawowner: The animation here wasnt that great. it was very fidgety choppy and stiff. In the running by Ryback, he just did the slipped accross the canvas with his feet like he was trying to run on ice. You need to elevate ryback so it looks as though he's getting good height and momentum from the running to really put a lot of impact into the move! Bourne was also really choppy in the animation, make sure you take pics with small movements from the figure so it creates a more fluid look - also a bit more reaction wouldve been nice but good impact. 3/10

wweleslie1: The animation was obviuosly not the best in the match, the camera was extremely shaky and was taken at about 40 different camera angles which made it really hard for me to watch the animation and comment on it as i had trouble actually seeing what was going on. Put the camera on a tripod or something to steady it, even a stack of DVD's with bluetac or a rubber band would be better. From what i could see in the animation when i was looking away past the shaky camera, you needed to take more photos and move the joints more. Watch a video of the move on youtube and watch it frame by frame to see the movements better! 1/10

Dustin: Very smooth from you, took a nice amount of pictures and it flowed well however it was very slow. The idea was nice and i really liked how you added some form of creativity to the rest but you lacked in impact a lot and the speed of the animation. Christians jump was good and had good movements and i liked how roman caught him in the spear but in order to gain a lot of impact through the table and make it looked like christian was broken in half, speed it up so theres a lot of thrust going through the table. Reactions were nice and smooth too you just lacked in impact a lot. 5/10

Steely200: The fire graphic was nice but it wasnt as good as it couldve been. It was only on one half of the table and kept re-lighting and being pt out so it looked weird. The running by bryan was nice - wouldve been better had you lifted him off the ground so it looks more like running but what you didnt have in movements you made up for in speed. Then as both figures came together it became a fidget fest. It shouldve gone in one straight movement however you kinda took too many pciture causing the figures to go out of line int he motion they shouldve gone in and it looked odd. There was then a dead reaction with both men layign in the fire. For realism thy wouldve tried rollng out the way of the fire asap/. Good effort though. 3/10

KKD: glad to see you back on ppv's man, you didnt dissapoint with this animation definitely the best in the match. The running was really nice couldve done with a few more pics but still very good. You had a great amount of spacing in between each image that gave a nice smo0oth look no matter how man pics you took. The impact of both guys going through the barricade was great man. loved how smooth you animated the barricade fall aand the impact was nice. I like how you animated the momentum of both guys going far past the barricade rather than just hit through and stay there. More aftermath of the move being seen in the reaction wouldve looked better but on the whole solid B+ animation 7/10
