Hi, all

I am nervous and excited in sharing my very 1st episode of fimo friends 'Zey The Mouse'

It's taken a lot of hard work, overall 10 months to make, using (Stop motion Pro 7)

This is a massive achievement for me to have reached this far, as i thought i wasn't going to be able to do it.

My dream has come true!, I hope you enjoy it, with a nice storyline, music and sound effects.

Hi

I love your video.

I know how much work it takes to do this kind of thing.

I did stop animation for TV commercials way back in the 1970s when I worked for a large advertising agency.

This was an amazing job.

I only have one criticism, as an old time kite flyer, I know that the string doesn't attach to the back end of the kite. LOL

Great Job!!!

Mike

If you shoot a mime, do you need a silencer?

Hey, Mike, Wow, that's great to hear from another animator!, did you use a proper film camera and have to get it developed??, Yes the Kite isn't supposed to to have the string attached at the bottom, i think i just wanted it like that he, glad you like Zey and friends, i'm knackered now after making the animation!! :)

Very nicely done, I was pleasantly surprised with how well done it was, the sets all looked fantastic.

The flashing on the house roof jumped out as "tin/alluminum foil!!!" If you get a chance maybe revist that with a heavier gauge foil that can be applied smoother so it looses the wrinkled/obvious foil look. Or back your regular foil with some paper, spray adhesive a sheet of foil to a sheet of a paper, then cut it up as needed, that should apply nice and smooth as well.

I thought there might have been a couple places the animation could be polish just a touch [the swings felt a little "off" to me], but over all it was really clean, well paced, and well done.

The only weakness for me was the audio, and that's because the rest was so well done. You levels were all over the place, there were a couple loud sound effects a few really quiet ones. The volume of the dialogue was pretty consistent, but a bit on the quiet side as well I thought. If i had to wager a guess [cause I've been there a few times myself] I'd guess you hit the point after all that animation of "ugh, I just want to finish" and maybe rushed the final audio tweaks/pass a bit.

Really nice work. Congrats on completing it, that's no feat. Hope to see some more from you in the future.

Most excellent, and humours. The stage and props looked good. And of course so did the actors.
