Thanks for all the comments people, but in the end Milo's Journey is my personal piece of art. I made it for me and no one else. Changing anything to satisfy anybody else but myself would not make it my mine. Take it for what it is. If you dont believe in God well fine, Im not telling you to. No Fuggles is not wearing Mario's clothes, yes its similar i know hahaha. Yes Milo is dead at the end. Milo did want a realistic tour of the solar system, not all kids want a fantasy land. No im not cutting anything out. I worked too hard on this to mess it up :D hahaha that should cover everything people have problems with hehehe sorry about that. Im not trying to be mean or anything. I just want to set the record straight
Yeah i started this project in august of 2009. It didnt take very long to model everything. the thing that took months was rigging the characters. Everyone i hired sucked really bad and produced a horrible rig for the 2 characters. I got lucky and found a great person so animation actually started in December and ended in April. I edited and added music as i finished scenes. Rendering the scenes also took forever. It took 15 hours to render a scene that was 15sec's long. I could only render one scene every day and a half. So yeah this project is very dear to me and im so happy it turned out the way it did, considering its my first ever animation :D
Thanks for your 2 cents hahaha. The only reason why some of the scenes seem really slow is because i didn slow them down but only because i wanted the scenes to fit the music. Now that Nicky Bendix is composing an original score i can go back and make those scenes faster. Oh and i am in no way trying to be religious, i do believe in God but i am not trying to throw it in peoples faces. I just wanted to tell a story about a little kid to lost his parents and then reunites with them in heaven. I pretty much HAD to use the white light and the angel(the little creature) to guide him. I fucking love Evangelion. I just watched Eva 2.22. Great stuff.
I dont really understand what you mean by "creepy christian allegory" I made this movie and yes i did add in some religious elements but only because i love that stuff. Have you ever seen the anime "neon genesis evangelion"??? its full of religious themes. Im just doing the same here. The story is Milo is in recovery but is still dying of a broken heart. he goes on his final journey to heaven to reunite with his paretns. the way you put it "The only way to be happy after personal loss is to die and be with the ones you love? Whoa!" now thats creepy hahaha im in no way attacking you or anything its just funny how people dont "get" what im trying to show :(
Yay thank you for your review. I agree that it could be a little shorter. I will play around with it and see what happens. From the beginning i knew it was going to be more than 10min. Its going to be hard cutting out stuff because i love everything so much. Thanks again for taking the time to write a comment :D
I love that all of you are commenting on my first ever animation. Im happy that people are watching it. Thanks to all who gave me good comments and thanks even to the mean ones. its going to help me grow as an artist. Milo's journey is my first real piece of art. If anyone has any questions or wants to message me directly please email me at Adang86@gmail.com, hope to hear from you guys soon :D
Just to let you guys know, the music in the movie is not my own or nicky bendix's. its a bunch of awesome music i used from different movie soundtracks. this is the most up to date movie (updated credits) thats why it says Nicky Bendix. i will be adding the new Nicky bendix music later on. hes currently working on it. You guys can follow me on the Milo's Journey fan page on facebook
Thanks you guys for thoughts on my movie. I made this movie by myself and took me almost a year. this is my first ever animated movie. that would probably explain anything you guys dont like about it hahaha
