Archon Defender follows the path of a young woman, Colette, as she seeks her way through adversity to redemption, as the world she once knew is torn apart by war and tyranny.

This is the full version of my feature length animated film. Aside from the help of my voice actors, I created this film entirely by myself over 3 years.

Question directed to dave4096; Did this film turn out like you seen it in your imagination? Do you believe that with higher end equipment and programs that you could have made it better with more detail, more realistic looking? Are you working on anything now that might be released anytime in the future?

@leadpelletinass It turned out, let's say 90% the way I envisioned it, now that's getting closer to 95% these days with my latest work; I've improved my animation and timing considerably since I began working on Archon back in 2006, as well I've refined my visual style towards a more expressionist, 'concept art' look while still keeping with the toon shading style of Archon. In terms of detail, I've kept the characters simple as in Archon (with certain adjustments to the...

@dave4096 ...physique, catering to certain nit pick complainers...) I've streamlined my process, with a talented cast of professional voice actors who I recorded *before* animating, which means I can animate to their performance, resulting in a much better final result. I'm currently in production of "Origin - A Call to Minds" which is the 2nd film set in the "shard" mythos; I've been working on "Origin" since Jan 2011 and it's about 90% done..at 70 mins done... and it's in 3D ;)

"No." ... Extent of emotions there

I like the story line a lot. If you were to remake this (or sell it to MGM) so that some real voice actors could take a crack at it I think it would be totally watchable. As it is now I'm very distracted by the lack of emotion in the voice actors performances and the low-budget animation. As a self-made project I think you've created something really spectacular. I just think it needs a few more creative minds and a million or so backing it. Best of luck and thanks so much for sharing!

I gather you did all the movie and the animation and all the visual things, did you also do the score and the noises of doors and footsteps and all the audio side also?
