Iron Giant Vibes
Wow that pretty BadA.
Who getting iron giant vibes
Cute as a button, and we ALL know how cute THOSE are! Well done and congratz!
Hilariously cute from start to finish - I can tell you put a lot of heart into this.
A charming, little animation you've got there. Definitely worth a passing grade, and then some. ^^
I did sort of expect the rabbit to run away at first, as wild rabbits tend to do when faced with unfamiliar things (or humans, which a robot like this looks a bit like)..... but nope. Immediately trusting, to the point where it would even risk its own life.... twice.
The humanized facial expressions on the rabbit are great too;
First picked up: "Why is this thing looking at me like this?"
After being 'rescued' from the pit: "Not amused.... gonna chomp your wiring as soon as an opportunity presents itself"
All in all though, not the robot's fault it fell down there. The hand was steady, and the rabbit simply fell backwards in astonishment.
Reaching down after it, the red flash on the fingertips first had me wondering; "Is the programming preventing it from going for the save?"
After the laser-fingers, I expected the black stuff coming out on the second attempt to be something even more malicious....
I know animation is hard work, but the framerate could probably afford a boost here and there. It seems inconsistent at times, especially when the dust cloud billows in after the save, making the scene look very choppy.
(Nitpicking: A single dot of the rabbit's outline lingers for a while after everything else gets obscured.)
Nice freezeframe on the end there. Probably intended to show that the rabbit is gonna fall off the ledge, and the robot potentially also falling. But the trajectory does leave it up for alternative interpretation; either the rabbit landing on the ledge and the robot falling, or either both or neither falling.
In the event that both would fall, I'd expect the haphazard "rescues" to continue through different scenarios.
All in all, well done.
Thanks so much! I actually went back in and refined a bit!!
