Reviews for "Lost Rhapsody 2"

Loved it. Did you use live trace from illustrator

Now I do some graphic design with Illustrator. Did you just make some sort of live trace filter for clips from the show? I use live trace (and I turn the threshold for color up so that it is not black and white) and I get a very silimar result. If you did, it looked great. But how did you apply it to a moving image? Did you just frame by fram live trace? Anyway I was very impressed by the whole piece, the most with the oponing seen. Keep it up!

CapnBob responds:

The "live" trace was my hand. The parts that look good are done by hand, the parts that look rough are done by flash's autotrace features. If illustrator does a better job than flash, I may have to buy a copy.

lost for lost

me gustaron las graficas i como estaba empezzando todo, hasta que puso la musica i empezaron a cantar esa cosa rara y extrana.. pero bueno fuera de eso (que es todo) estuvo muy bien xD

¡Mis pantalones se arden! ¿Puedes dirigirme a un tocador? ¡Te doy mucho agradezco por el regalo de este burro fino!

good job in general

Ok, so...

I think that I don't need to say that the opening is the best part. The ending is really good too, and I didn't expect the Monty Python ending at all.

However, you set the standarts too high with the opening, and since there is almost no animation in the rest of piece (almost), it kind of threw me down. It's all just stills of Lost, and the mouths.

I agree with most of the comments here, maybe you should stik to your animation from the begining and do a serious short piece. Your rotoscoping techniques are really good, and that would look amazing.

Good job!

CapnBob responds:

I think you overstate the amount of the video that uses the stills/mouth format, but I see your point. Personally, I think I should have made the animation and character rendering during the song much crappier just to have a more obvious disparity. Part of the joke for most everyone else is the abrupt drop in quality itself, and I should have played that up. But seriously, why would I make an entire video up to the standard of the opening animation if it's not my own original property? For all I know, some lawyer at Disney could send me a cease and desist letter at any moment and I'd have to remove the entire video. If I decide to do something entirely original and serious (though chances of anything 100% serious are close to nothing) then that will be a better place to judge a video for an intentionally consistent art style. I'm waiting for the Wii browser to be released before I get into my next project, as I'd like to build and test everything else I do for that environment.

its ok

the first one eas way better

CapnBob responds:

There's definitely pros and cons to each one. I do take longer to set up visual jokes in this one than I do in the first.

Ok.

Wasn't as good as the last one
