    Okay I really don't want to offend people here but I gotta get my point across. 

    Putting aside these factors for a second:
    - Minecraft
    - "Reality Inspired"
    - OC's

    Basically anything that doesn't have to do with the actual artistic value of the animation. I think there's a number of things you could do to make it better. For starters, USE FOV  I cannot stress this enough when people do cinematography. Zoom is there for a reason, to make things look sexier. Also don't have the camera stay still for every single shot. have it wiggle a bit and explore the fact that what you're animating in is in fact a 3D environment. This isn't film making where you're restricted to how far you can reach or how stable you can hold the camera. Now for cinematic value, use the player rigs to your advantage. they have a face so do your best to portray everything through their face. Convey words without using words. Finally establish the setting and story before jumping straight into the fight. Answer questions like "What is happening now?" before continuing with the story. 

    NOW. 

    I just want to go and say that I can't really control these Reality inspired series. It's honestly up to the animator on what they want to do. The more I see them the more  I realize that I'm responsible for dropping this Nearly-as-bad-as-monster-school series on everyone. Please for the love of god find a different way to convey a story. I don't even want to finish R E A L I T Y at this point (I'm kinda obligated to because I promised my viewers AND Pepper that I would.) Reality was never supposed to be trying to showcase a cool edgy character. It was my way of venting my feelings of a difficult time to the world in a poetic way. You can't pull it off unless you know what it feels like to lose people the way I did (And don't go all "all this horrible stuff happened to me" because I know what it's like to lose friends in many different ways. I've lost so many people that I could go on but here I am not making edgy animations anymore) Soon enough I'm going to be off these forums, out of animation, off of YouTube and into the real world. I'm going to be coming up with MY OWN stories the same way ALL of you should. Nobody wants to watch a movie that's already been made, that's why most people hate remakes of other movies. Why most people say that the books were better. All of this is telling people to "STOP REMAKING" things. I hate seeing people being brought down for animations. But it's kind of your fault if you remake something.

    Now I can't control your choice, but coming from the words of someone who actually wants to make a career out of writing, directing and producing, you should probably take my advice.

    They're just plain, kind of expected more.

    The first one is very plain. yeah. The second one wasn't really posed considering i just was working on the fight and though "i like this shot. lets make a poster" lmao. only reason why the text is plain is because i just wanted to try to keep the text as simple as possible
