Austin McConnel is a different breed, man. Loved his shit ever since his video-essay explaining exactly *why* the KFC franchise started to suck balls. That shit was YouTube Kino.That being said, I can never, ever read his name without accidentally reading it in my brain as "Autism Control".
>>223201863I am only a few minutes in but so far he has some good voice acting. I hate to say it but good voice acting is probably more important that than the cgi.You could ditch the cgi and with good voices you could do a radio play and still make it work.I am happy for the guy regardless. I hope he learned a great deal.
>>223201938The voice acting is great. It reminds me of those old barbie movies. Its cool that one guy can make stuff like this relatively easy now.
Took a peak, impressive for one dude. Too bad its a generic origin story.
>>223201863i remember stumbling upon his original video about this like 5 years ago. havent got around to watching it yet but i hope it came out well
>heart issue from 2022vax status?
>>223201863looks like ass
>>223201863Hello Austin, I tried to start a thread in /co/, but didn't take off.>for fun Don't lie, you did it for the Patreon bucks>soulfulI couldn't actually sense any level of soulfulness from this. Most amateur animations have something where passion for animation is evident, but here it just seems like there is no deliberate passion for anything.>>223201938Because he hired pretty good Fiverr guys. Too bad the script isn't on par with it.>>223203949The problem is that there is no real style. The character models were not modelled; they were made by this certain software's character creator, and he bought other models, which is why everything shifts from photorealism to cartoonishness.It would have looked a lot better if he had limited himself to low-poly art.
>>223204112It's kinda funny he repeatedly said his standard was "those awful 00s barbie direct-to-vhs movies" when those look notably better because, despite being made with a shoestring budget, they have artistic direction, even if they embrace PS2-tier graphics
>>223204147yeah FAGGOT but you're forgetting those are made by entire teams of dozens if not hundreds of people
>>223201863>eceleb slop kys shill looks terrible
>>223204112Always some jealous faggot posting a brick of text. Did he fuck your mother or something?
>>223204600Listen, I was rooting for him.And I did not expect much, but praising his movie is not healthy.You can give it a thumbs-up for ambition, but it isn't a well-written or well-thought-out movie.And all could be forgiven if it had a sign of passion, but it doesn't.
>>223204112who shit in your pudding?
If he was indian, nobody would have cared
>>223205670Nobody should care as it is.
>>223205610Why can't I critique things sincerely?
>>223201863embarrassing. looks like it was made by a 10 year old.
>>223206728You're just jealous of Austin. You should get over it, faggot.
