JUDGE COMMENTS

The editing and transition animations were well done, and the SLEA region was clearly represented. However, I found myself confused in the beginning about the relationships between the characters, and the storyline was a little difficult to follow.


very sl-like, i dont like the voice work at all


There are a lot of creative ideas packed into the film, and the ambition behind the storytelling is clear. The result is a memorable entry that feels imaginative and immersive.


I liked the sets alot and the avatar craftsmanship.


I've been following this director's work for awhile, so it was really nice to see the story play out on the SLEA region. Very good use of the region, and the transitions helped a lot.
