A Keaton's Tale

Description

*Since I now have a premium account thanks to MattFlameStar, I am curious about getting critiques for one of my most recent animations! Although I think that I have improved more since, it would be interesting to get some constructive feedback, being it is some of my latest work. All comments/ advice are welcome. Hopefully I'll have more up soon as well! Thanks guys!*



Be sure to WATCH my account for upcoming projects and bits! <3

Ten years before Majora's Mask, which might explain why the characters are younger than in the game : >
There were a lot of starts and stops for this flash, but I am glad it if finally finished. Special thanks to the voice actors for being so patient through this. Also to the folks on the Skype Superlab, Budj, Joey, Tami, Teejay, Gustavos, and Anna for testing and helping me with the animation flow over countless hours. : P
I had this idea about a year ago and sent the script to a different animator. However before she got started, she dropped out of the project because of school, so I ended up animating the entirety of it.
The flash is a double narrative, featuring two different stories, that share a same meaning. Since a lot of people are not familiar with Majora's Mask, or have it fresh in their heads, I knew it might have people that wouldn't understand it or be familiar with the characters, such as the young boy "Kafei." So I equipped it with a moral at the end to make it interesting for non- zelda fans as well, hopefully.
Special thanks to Seraphim for the great looking loading screen art. Hopefully people can contact him if they need commissions done, he was great to work with.
I hope you enjoy the bitter sweet parable of A Keaton's Tale

I thought this was very lovely! It's a creative reasoning to what went on before Link came into this world.

The animation shows potential, though it is still stiff. The details you put into the backgrounds were great however! Shows you really put time and paid attention to your references. I really took a liking to the effects, like the vanishing Keaton.

And the voice actors you picked did great jobs! They didn't sound too flat and have some life to them.

I like the details put into it, having Cremia with Anju and Kafei, as most people wouldn't realize that she was a good friend of Anju, or even that rumor Anju's mom was spreading about Cremia and Kafei.

Good job on this and keep up the good work!
