Hi all, I just want to share a motion comic style animated piece called The Dream Detective. I would like to know what everyone thinks of it.

Here’s the link: http://vimeo.com/20751152

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful style. Thanks for changing up the tilts and word slices. There was a lot of character introduction and the slices started to detract from the story after a while.

But I'm about to play sick at work and go try out that character style.

Good job!

Great stuff. Wanna see more.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Very nice style and a good premise (I especially like that you didn't give some silly explanation ilke he was hit by lightning or something). I gotta be honest though, 30 seconds in, at the 10th curse word I bowed out. I'm not a prude, I just kind of like storytelling versus vulgarity.

I'm readily admitting that this is all on me and I'm sure it's really excellent.

I think you have something great! I agree on the vulgarity, you could make up a new word and sub that in and maybe become a trend, like Battlestar Gallatica did with their swear word. *Frak* Honestly, the only time I use it is when I drop a hammer on my toe. Too much of it feels like your trying to get a reaction from it and pull you away from the story.

I would have rather see the eyebrow animated with a layer, and point binding than bone influence of photo. But that is what motion comic is with marvel's new line of motion comic.

Otherwise this feels like a professional produce series that has great potential.

I dig it. Nicely executed, good blend of polished visuals and solid editing, and it looks like you've got your casting all planned out when Hollywood comes calling.

Awesome work.
