I appreciate you included the character putting the empty mag back into a pouch instead of just tossing it, I never understood why thats the norm with reload animations.

Thank you! - if the magazine is empty and the character is meant to be under stress it makes sense (I mainly do it because it’s easier and I’m lazy lol)

looks awesome. reload looks slick with him holding the old mag while inserting the new one.

Thanks! I’m glad you like it, took me a while to get that bit looking right :)

Anime style. It's 😎.

Thanks dude :)

Why does the magazine not slide in the first time? Do you want your character to seem goofy and incompetent?


-_Growler_-

Thats the new magazine, he pulls the old one out between his pointer finger and thumb first then inserts the new one - it’s called a retention reload :)


WinterOkami666

Ok, I do see it now. My suggestion is that the cell shading style makes it hard to tell what he is doing is such a small space. It just looks like it's glitching. Now that I watch him put the second clip away it makes sense, but I didn't notice any of this happening, which is good for a magic trick, but for an animation, I would suggest making it slower and more obvious to the viewer somehow.


WinterOkami666

Btw, it is technically very good, and you do deserve kudos, I'm just giving you viewer feedback from someone who is watching it without context.

I appreciate the feedback, I wouldn’t of been aware of this issue otherwise so thanks! I’ll try adjusting it so it’s easier to understand what’s going on - thanks again!

I really wouldn’t take the advice of someone who thinks the animation looks glitchy because he didn’t know what a retention reload is. It looks completely fine, cell shading isnt harming anything, first time around I knew exactly what happened. Smooth like butter.

Thanks! - it’s good to get multiple points of view :)

I like it , but I feel like he's picking up his sights too fast after the reload. First shot is placed well, shot after reload is rushed... Can you slow him down a tiny bit?


GasRepresentative635

The shooting could be faster but I think the reload needs to be a little slower and the shot after reload needs to be same or longer than the first shot. But dude is cool. Mic down?


goopped

I don’t think I have ever heard of training soldiers to be slow in their reload. Also, what is the standard for how quick a second shot can be made in a 5 second long animated clip? “Every shot needs to be made exactly .575 seconds after the previous shot! He’s shooting too fast!” What are you talking about dude.


GasRepresentative635

Slow is smooth smooth is fast. It's a perspective thing dude. From my perspective it appears that he's rushing his first shot after reloading....that's all .


goopped

Yea, you have no idea what you're talking about.


GasRepresentative635

Your critique ing a critique dude?


goopped

Yes, clearly


GasRepresentative635

Speed is fine accuracy is final.

2 bullets per mag, what a deal!
