Author Topic: Indestructible (Dramatic Blockland Short)  (Read 1651 times)

Voice was a little bit weak and off for this situation, you did good with the effects, and layed out quite a deep feeling right there and then.

I'd be sad if I couldn't just end my pain and suffering from my past losses.
Ya, I really wasn't focusing on the voice acting, I was just trying to go for my editing skills.

I didn't like it very much, just seemed like it was trying too hard
How so?

sometimes silence is a better way to express depression.
Which is why I never use Microsoft Sam voices :D

oops- I didn't know there was a forum topic

Seems like a creative idea. But I think some more work could have gone into the making of it. For example- he seemed so depressed throughout the video, wanting to kill himself, and then in the end he decided to remember to keep smiling? That seems out of character. Also it seems kind of funny that he went ahead and tried to kill himself via blowing up the building, and didn't even remember the huge fact that he's indestructible. Plus if he's indestructible there shouldn't have been any blood.
but otherwise, I think you did good. I especially like the idea of making a story about someone who is indestructible, that seems like an idea with a lot of potential

The only bad thing is that the music is a little too loud when he was talking, but its still good.

You're over brown townyzing it too much. The only reason why I did the "keep on smiling thing" is because I say that at the end of all of my videos, so I just thought of that way to throw it in there. The whole "Indestructible" thing will be explained when I make the video of the back story to this.


This was unintentionally hilarious; I like it.

Well I might be over brown townyzing a little, but I also noticed one other thing-
I think the line explaining the bomb in the bell wasn't executed very well. I didn't hear what the line was exactly the first time I watched, but I didn't feel like rewinding. But the 2nd time around I heard the entire line and it sounded kind of silly.
They put a bomb in the bell, nobody knows why, there's just kind of a bomb there. And nobody thought to remove it. I know it might seem necessary, but explaining that "if you pull the string it will explode," also sounds a little odd. I don't know how I could have made it better- so I don't blame you, but it doesn't sound right. That's probably one of the things that made reactor worker think the video was funny, that just seems like a very random thing to say - "They put a bomb in the bell, dunno why, but I think I'll kill myself with it."

But remember I'm trying to give constructive criticism. These are all little things that add up, but overall I still think the video is alright.

I have a pet peeve of actual voice-overs in BL shorts.  It just seems unnatural...they don't mesh well. 

When I imagine the voice of a blockhead, I imagine something synthetic and soul-less.

Wait for the back story video.
