Hi Gina,
Fiddleton is so adorable and funny!! Your drawings are so dynamic and full of life, when he moves about the world, bending and bouncing—So good!! The soft shading really adds to Fiddleton’s mood and arc as he finds different ways to fit in. The beginning part was so funny!! Your sound design and music was amazing, and I loved that clarinet/violin leit motif you have whenever Fiddleton is disappointed with his plans or down.. And your environmental art and perspective compositions gives such a nice sense of space too..It really shows how big this world is to him. Wonderful job and congratulations! I can’t wait to see where you take Fiddleton!

Thank you so much for the feedback Verna! I really appreciate the compliments on Fiddleton's design and his world. It's so nice to hear the frame compositions worked well. Im glad certain parts made you laugh as well:D. Adding sound was very new for me, so I'm happy everything seemed to be in place . Thank you again and congrats to you as well!!

Aw Fiddleton! What a great little story!

Thanks Levi! :)

Hey Gina! Your story in particular has been on my mind since I came across your progress before, and I'm happy I could finally immense in the full story :D I think the plot and its motives are succinctly told, and glad that Fiddleton has a happy ending, yeayy! Oh I also admire your drawings :D Lastly, congratulations on completing the program and wishing you the best in your future endeavours!

Thank you Aishah! That makes me so happy to hear!! I'm glad you enjoyed it:) congratulations to you as well! Its been a great learning journey

I absolutely loved it!!
The way you portray the violin's emotion through drawing and sound. How Fiddleton went thought his journey of purpose (I'm really glad he had a happy ending). Your animation is especially impressive with consistency since it's hand drawn and from personal experience I know how hard that is.
Your final was amazing and I'm glad to have experienced your work. :)

Thank you Kye for the positive feedback! I appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed Fiddleton's journey!!:)

omg i loved the idea... so creative and the illustrations were extremely cute!!

Thank you Alaa:) i appreciate the feedback

I love how you tell the story through sound and I love the hand drawn textures. Bravo!

Thank you Anna! Glad you like it!

Hi, Gina!

I know this is the final submission for the class, but I still want to provide a bit of feedback in case you decide to continue to work on the project beyond this course. Hopefully the notes are helpful, but as always, feel free to ignore any that don't match your vision. And most importantly, congratulations on finishing your storyreel!

I still absolutely love your art! It's awesome to still see non-digital art. A computer just can't generate the awesome textures you achieve here.

I'm not sure if the image with the woman knocking the dust off the music case is new or just better emphasized with the added sound effects, but either way, it really helps to sell the idea that she hasn't opened it in a very long time.

Instead of the ticking clock, which sounds a bit artificial since it's hard to hear a watch tick without putting your ear up to it, you might consider having a distant honk as if someone is waiting for her in a car outside. That would still give her a reason to hurry up and leave, but might feel a bit more natural. It's certainly not bad as is, but I think it would just be slightly better with this change.

It so much clearer that Fiddleton is trying to play himself around 1:15 now that you've added sound and shown the scraggly music notes! Really nice work!

You've done such a great job leading Fiddleton from one thing to the next when he's trying to figure out his purpose!

Overall, this is a really lovely story filled with great art. You've really done a good job editing it and adding in the sound effects and music as well. You should be super proud of what you've accomplished here, and I'm glad I was around to be able to watch it :-)

Hi Allen!! Thanks for all the help! Good point on the watch sound effect ran out of time finding one that matches haha, but that is a good suggestion.
Yes the dust on the case was new, you or someone else's suggestion:) thank you for the positive feedback!! You have made great suggestions along the way. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi Gina! I’m so glad to see your final submission!

You already know this, but I totally love Fiddleton’s character design, he’s so adorable! I think that you’ve done a brilliant job with your visuals, this is one of the best submissions where the story is perfectly understood without the need of any voice over.
I also really appreciate that you took last week’s feedback so seriously, I completely love the sequence where Fiddleton tries to play music and he fails!

I have really enjoyed watching the evolution of your story over the weeks. Congratulations on finishing the Xperiential program!

Thanks Julieta!! Thank you so much for all the feedback along the way! Yes i took your suggestion on Fiddletontrying to play himself!! it was really helpful tying things together better. Thanks for watching tor a few weeks :)) i appreciate all the comments. Congratulations to you as well!!
