Agreed - but I think this would've worked as well if he'd used cyrillic or sanskrit lettering. Just the look of a newspaper or "wanted"-poster layout would've been enough.he uses on-screen text in the Wanted posters. That communicates a LOT.

A few exceptions don't mean the vast majority of Flash animations still suffer from that typical look. No-one here said this student film is the first time someone managed to get rid of the Flash look. It just is an example that happened to come along.The400th wrote:There hasn't been a "typical Flash look" for years. Check out Adam Phillips or Bernard Derriman if you want proof of that.
Goodness me. Are you that desperate to dismiss this students achievements? 90% of this film is communicated non-verbally at a very high standard. The expressive animations of the monster, the beautiful elegant poses, the sense of weight and a keen sense of design, that's what we're talking about here.The400th wrote:But he uses on-screen text in the Wanted posters.

If I was running an animation studio and he knocked on my door, I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

Don't put words in my mouth. I liked the film, I think it's good. I just disagree with your assertion that modern Flash animation is "typically" inferior, and that everything in the film is communicated with mime.
Don't make it sound like I am criticizing the film when I am not. That's a cheap trick.
