I thought it was fantastic. Your minimal use of colour to get a distinct graphic style worked extremely well IMO. I think every animator should make a silhouette movie at some point because it really teaches you how to compose your shots and pose your characters well. Loved the texture through the backgrounds too which, with Harry's music and no sound effects, made it feel to me like a moving storybook. A well-written one, I might add. Congrats on the awards, looking forward to your next one :D

"aw poor scarey"

Excellent work Dan. Good design on the characters and backgrounds. The winter design was just great. As we watched his life pass by with the seasons, it would have been good to see a bit more of that deterioration over time (seams opening, colour fading, fabric fraying, spider webs, etc). The changes in weather and lighting made for some very nice atmosphere and moods that worked well with a great choice of music. Keep up the good work man, looking forward to your next piece :D

"Top stuff"

submission: Killed off on Christmas D

Your dialogue writing has always had something special Nathan and it's improving all the time. The audio quality seems to be improving too (get a new mic, did you?)

My favourite bits are the 'pit of fierce cats' and the fat cat struggling to get up and walk XD. Good to see the medium make an appearance at the end.
Looking forward to the next one to see where/if it goes from here :D

"Amazing"

submission: The Stranger Forest

date: May 8, 2008

You are a fantastic colour-stylist. There's so much to like about this movie (the animation, the creatures, the effects and story) but your varied use of colour from sequence to sequence is what really grabbed me. I especially loved the vibrancy of the fire dance sequence, followed by the subdued palette of the moonlit forest. Thanks for citing me as inspiration too.. I can certainly tell that you enjoyed animating the water effects :)

Score: 10

Damn this is so fucking well done. So well written, acted and paced.
Your message at the end was a nice touch and thanks for linking the other movie, those guys did a brilliant job.

"Nicely put together"

submission: "Winter"

date: December 26, 2007

I really really like this. Sure if you try hard enough you'll find a message in it, but I loved the comic brutality of the whole thing.. As if we didn't know how bad things are for him, a tear comes from his good eye, blood comes from his patched eye. Brilliant :D
Well animated, directed and the music is perfect. Favourites, here comes Winter.

Score: 8

"great work"

submission: KASABUTA

date: November 16, 2007

It's obvious you know how to draw.. the colour palette was nice, I really liked your backgrounds and characters. The frame by frame animation could use some timing tweaks here and there, but overall it was great!
