Our Review(s) for the story Soul Searching by @camie.writes
Nessya's Review
Overall:
The characterization of the characters was well done.
A kind of slow-burn romance, I like those, how you are taking time to have Olivia trust Zac but had in dept with both bringing skeletons to the relationship. Good use of zooms, good display of the relationship between Olivia and her father. I liked how you made clear to us that she feels lost but wants to find her way.
Some pointers:
I noticed some characters scaling up leaving the scene, more noticeable on the scene where Olivia is about to leave NY and refuses to talk with her ex. The use of Default outfits and randomized characters usually isn’t noticeable but in the beach scene, there were several redheads while panning across the beach.
I felt like the characters didn’t move much in the first episodes.
In the beach scene, as they are close, they go over each other, like Zac’s finger behind Olivia’s head, or Olivia’s head covering Zac’s face.

Our Review(s) for the story A Christmas in Paris by @secrets.epi
Nessya's Review
Overall:
I like the use of zooms. They gave the impression of the rush to settle everything in two weeks like we were in Ariana’s shoes.
It was a funny twist, the mix of Paris in France with Paris in Texas.
The whole friendly atmosphere and the maturity with which Mason and Ariana handled their first encounter is well done. Even when it was for the sake of winning the competition.
All these, while still keeping the rivalry.
Some things I noticed:
When Leana starts to speak, it may be better to let the zoom finish before she does, as the speechbubble skidded in front of the two characters.
In that same scene, Leana stays at the end of talk_apathetic. And as I am slightly faster reading, my MC was still doing talk_shrug when Leana started talking.
In episode two, at the reception, the documents are in the layer above the MC.
In the over-the-shoulder scene, the MC is bigger than she should since she is standing farther away from the screen.
Loose means not tight is often confused with Lose that means to be defeated.

My Review
Impressions:
I loved the support among friends between Nyomi, Cass and Kay.
I could perceive Cass’ love towards her friends through her actions, great job.
I have a feeling that there is more to tell regarding Scott’s behaviour.
Some pointers:
The prop appears in Cassara’s hand before Mr Smith hands it.
When doing close cuts, move the character that isn’t speaking so that it doesn’t appear.
I noticed that when Cass and Bri were talking, you used a non-looping animation. As a consequence, Cass’ mouth didn’t move in the following two lines
After meeting Michael at the club, when they are talking, Bri should be in the layer below Cass as she is further away from the camera.
I liked the concept, the mystery that you have in your sleeve, I read up to Ep5.
The growth of each character, and how they can grow more, how important the Point System is, I had a scene locked , but as you explained the choices build the character and some of them despite not being the ideal to get points, rung closer to the character.
You did a great job, congratulations
Pointers,
Victoria looks a little big behind the desk, in the first scene
