Halffish! it's been a long time =) (camus here :p )
That teaser is looking really great, I hadnt really been around to see it but I think it looks really good, I guess maybe the reason people isnt commenting is 1 there's not as much traffic here anymore or 2 there is so much after effects, rescaling the pixelart and other dirty tools. I think it works for the video...it seems like you really used every element you had to make the best pixelart video possible, even if not all of it was pixelart.
question, did they specifically request that the sprite was done in Robert Paulson's style? cause it looks like it could fit right into one of his kings of babyfucking bloodbath gore animations :p...that kind of felt like a setup for that kind of animation...and then when that didnt happen it felt like it ended too early.
I like the way those close up pictures of the characters feel like they're from an 80's anime, had I been in the position to decide the style of the sprites I would've tried to continue that trend...but who knows, maybe you just did what the client wanted
I'm looking forward to the final video!
