Hey Brendan,
More great work as always. BTW, if you are in any of the stories and you click
on “Acts of the Apostles” at the top, you go to the
original version, not your new
ReActs. I
was kind of happy, as I wish you’d include a page on your site with links to
these earlier versions as I like to compare, but you probably want to fix that.
Judas - Masterful intestines. I tried that before and it just didn’t look right
for me. The comment in the last scene is funny. Btw, there’s a guy in the last
pic with red printed hair and then a brown hairpiece that just looks kinda off.
Maybe it’s a bad toupee? Comparing with the
original,
I miss the last scene, with Judas’ skeleton still lying there and all the
animals looking on.
Lottery - Not a lot to say here. Is that frowning head real or customized (or
photoshopped)?
Instant fluency - That flame effect is really cool. Btw, the apostles sitting
in a circle has a very Jedi Council feel to it. The bubbles with different
scripts is a funny effect, particularly the Mayan(?). I like the crowd of
people from all nations (even the Exo-force mountain, it seems). The head of
the old guy with the dumbledore hair seems paler than most fleshies. Is that
real or just a lighting effect? I’ve rarely done this, I think, but I must cry
foul at your editorial choice. I think to cut off the story at Acts 15 (I just
looked it up, you miss-cited the verse) is to do a disservice to the source
material and just make it look silly. You could at least, IMO, include one more
scene where Peter quotes Joel about being filled with the Spirit and then say
something about him going on to preach about Jesus. The story of Pentecost is
not that they were filled with the Spirit and then people thought they were
drunk, but that they were filled with the Spirit and then went out and spread
the gospel, and 3000 were converted.
Communism - Just a note, I’m not a big fan of the mixing of fleshies in with the
yellow figs here. It seems kind of random. I like the use of the Jack Stone
pillars as walls. It gives an interesting texture. That guy getting money in
4:35 sure doesn’t seem too happy about it. Where is Sapphira’s head from? Ooh,
I like the Squidward torso in the last scene - it works well to go with the sand
green sleeves.
Holy Prison Break, Batman - Funny take on the signs and wonders. Here I always
thought it was more the heal-the-sick kind of thing. Exo-force dude is perfect
for demon possession. I like the photoshoppery on the demon leaving.
Theudas - Wow, I’m really digging the blue and white color scheme in the
sanhedrin’s hall, also the star of David withthe flex tubing. What’s the blue
piece in the wall with a curved groove? I like your cat of nine tails solution.
In the last pic, what are those steps they are coming down? Is that LEGO?
Stephen - What’s with the man-boobs on the guy in the second pic? Also the guy
with the Aunt May torso seems odd. Hey, you finally got that scroll tile. More
good views of that great sanhedrin hall and those not-very-LEGO-looking steps.
The mid-flight stones look great. Hmm, I miss the old bald Paul a bit. Why’d
you make him into a fleshy?
Bruce
