wilpa The film wasn't that bad, but could have easily been made into a longer film without missing out. It just felt like Finding Nemo without the middle bits.My main grievance, however, was the fact that it could have easily been a great mini film to show my kids. The fact that she killed the dragon would have had my daughter in floods of tears. And the baby dragon following her at the end was supposed to be the hope of a good ending? Didn't feel that way to me.Sorry. Great artistry and lovely action, but a waste of a good idea.My 2 cents.
Ciminero85-929-666492 Sintel is an impressive animated film for being built on an open source engine with a crew of less than 100 people. You won't find the same graphical detail seen in mainstream animated movies but you will experience emotion for these characters. Emotion for characters is a hard thing to achieve when dealing in animation. It takes perfect execution of story and animated facial expressions, something which I give the team at Blender Foundation a standing ovation. The story on the other hand seems to be condensed, leaving some questions unanswered.The following section below is a spoiler and is meant for people who have seen the film.**Spoiler Warning** As I said above, the story left some questions unanswered which could of been solved with character development in additional scenes. In the beginning, Sentil is attacked by some random guy. Who is this antagonist and why is he motivated to kill her? Perhaps he was a dragon hunter who wounded Scales in the beginning and spends the rest of the story trying to reclaim the baby dragon as a prize? Or how about Sentil's background, why is she alone and rely on the emotional support of a dragon? These questions could be answered through some story expansion. Other than that, the movie's 15 minute runtime is worth sitting through, although I hope you like bittersweet endings.
mjlpress To imagine that all of this was created from scratch is remarkable.The score was very well done as was the foley.Halina really came through and I was so impressed, I had to find out who she was. Amazing to shine as an actor through a 3D animation. She did it!For the filmmakers and artist to take this on and to get it done for future artist is admirable. It gives hope to other artist and filmmakers.I would not recommend the film to children but maybe the filmmakers will do another film just for them. I hope they do.The director's attention to detail was also noted.Great job!
artaddicted04 I have to admit this short animation is really great, i do enjoy from the first second till last, everything is perfect, great plot & great music ( well there is of course imperfection with some movement of character if you compare it to a high budge 3d animation movie, but i will still call this perfect ) especially the last song of their soundtrack "I move on", i would like to see the movie version of this because 15 minutes is to short i want to see some more!!! Moving on, bravery and friendship is the main morality message in the movie, they try to give you a lesson with an usual way to help you to let go your past, i found this movie is very motivating also,if you need quick boosting to be inspired or when you feel down then this could be a great remedies. Also this short movie is great for every age, children to adult i guarantee you will enjoy it.
