I loved how it was a period piece. I also enjoyed the music and sound effects.

The middle of the story was a little confusing. It had a great ending though.

Marijke

Thank you for the feedback, Tea. Glad you enjoyed the music and sound effects. Thanks for watching!

Haha, yes we did. It was a good suggestion. It was hard getting the story right... But it was very instructive and we learned a lot. Thanks, Kennedi!

This was fun seeing the development of. The use of music and sound effects work well. Though the "third act break up" came a bit quick to me, I like the development of both characters. The art is really nice too. Good job!

Marijke

Thank you, Kayla! Also for the comment about the third act break up. That is very helpful. Even now :-)

Wow! How an amazing work. Your story evolved so much from last time I saw it. It looks like you integrated the feedback in a really good way and you really took care of the setup. Also with the voices and the effects if comes to live and the Sword is now a believable character. Good work!

Marijke

Thanks a lot, Antonio! Yes, we kept on changing the story all the way up to week 9. It was a challenge to get it all drawn. But it was great and we learned so much!

I love the drawings, sound effects, and expressions conveyed in the reel. A suggestion would be to add music when there are long silences. The story is captivating and makes me want to see more of their adventures!

Thank you, Jenny! And great suggestion (thank you for that!). Klaas tried to put in music during other bits (I'm not very good at that) but the pacing was so fast from one mood to the next that it took more time than we had at the time.

It's so cool to see the final version, you did an amazing job. I love that you included dialogue. I love the moment when Felice and Samson meet and how they discover Samson's powers together. I also love that you have a clear low point and have them fight. I also love the message of peace. Congrats again!

Marijke

Thanks a lot, Pietro! Great that you pointed things out.

I enjoyed your sound effects and cute drawings. The sword is also a cool character since it's built for war but it's pacifist and wants peace. The dialogue and story between Felice and Samson is cute and their argument is a good turning point for Samson's character arc. It's sweet that he helps Felice by growing crops and keeping the knights away from her without killing anyone.

Marijke

Thank you for the elaborate reply, Alia!

I love the message of your story! How the sword finds a way to protecto without fighitng!
I think is very undestandable, the story and the narrative. Congratulations!!!

Marijke

Thank you very much, Aranza. It was harder than I thought to come to a decent story. But it was a great ride.
