Hm ... I'm not happy with the design. It is hard to make out the fish in its glass. Maybe you should put a lot more contrast in there, reduce the bowl's opacity, darken the fish.

Also I would change the whole room's geometry, and the bowl. For me it doesn't "read", there's no real depth into it and too much wrong perspective for my taste. Since it is a talking head movie, I'd put a bit more texture and overall composition into the background.

Something's wrong with your sound, I barely could understand it. Try to adjust the levels, normalise your recordings before you edit.

But your company name 'last minute movies' is a great one, wish I had thought of that myself!

The room looks great, almost 3D. Is that an .obj background? If so what programme did you use to make it? I tried Blender but couldn't bake an image map on (or it didn't export properly, I can't remember!). Character animation is great too, lots of details.

Re: the fish sketches. I agree with slowtiger about the design, I could hardly see him. Not enough happens too, you could maybe have had a second shy fish behind the rock pop up every now and again for some background shenanigans to add another element.

Good Stuff!

Not sure about Steve, but Blazeaway looks solid, how long till we see these two in action?

A lot of work building the sets and getting the actors into shape, but we'll start filming soon. You'll know about it all here first untill the website is built. Our youtube channel will host clips during production and also short skits involving big john and cheese and they will start soon. As for Steve, he's a fish.
