The Fortunate Sons (2023) User Reviews

Suspense yet action-oriented animation

[abeehazah · 9/10 · 20 October 2023]

An animation yet suspense-based production named The Fortunate Sons is an exquisite piece. Nolan, Johnson and Gary set on a mission but get themselves trapped with a restaurant owner Quang. The most important feature of the film includes animated scenes particularly focusing on major actions such as gun firing. The voiceover behind the action is entirely matching the pace of the animation. The selection of dialogues stands with the motion performed by the actors. No doubt, Calamari and Techshadowzz produced an interesting animation but certain elements of animation are yet to be worked on. Although music, action and timing can be seen. The movements of characters or subjects have to be balanced in the course of action. Overall the script is occupying. Waiting to see the climax of this animation.

Turning game assets into cinematic joy, with a unique twist.

A great utilization of game assets, crafting an immersive and captivating experience that felt like I was watching a cinematic from a top-tier epic game.

I was impressed with the lip-syncing, especially since my own attempts to create such convincing dialogue to speech visuals has always fallen flat, and I enjoyed the twist. I don't want to say what it is, but it was a refreshing take that I didn't otherwise suspect.

I believe that this was made using Source Film Maker which was originally used for making the promo videos for Team Fortress 2 which gave me a lot of respect for the video and how it was made.

I am looking forward to part 2.
