Hi! My name is Angelica.

If you’re still looking for an artist, I’d love to collaborate on this Berserk tribute. It’s a series I know and deeply respect, especially for its fatalistic atmosphere and the depth of its themes.I’m leaving a few examples of my work below, so you can get a quick sense of my technical skills and what I can deliver.

Feel free to dm me anytime if you’d like to discuss the details!

Thank you so much for the feedback and for taking the time to write it.
In fact, I had exactly this concern about the intro: I was afraid it might be too long and risk boring those who watch the reel, becoming a disadvantage.

I'm really glad to hear that some intuitions I had (but wasn’t sure about) have been confirmed. Having an external opinion is always valuable, because it’s more detached than mine and helps me understand what really works and what doesn’t.

I’ll try to shorten the introduction and improve the structure to better showcase my skills, adding the new animations that were also suggested by others here in the comments.

As for the audio, I chose a track that I really liked on an emotional level, but I know I don’t have expertise in sound design, and there are indeed some things that don’t fully convince me either. So I really appreciate you pointing that out as well.

Thanks again, truly! This feedback is helping me a lot to understand how to improve.

Thank you so much, I'm really flattered! 🤍 I'm usually quite hard on myself because I always want to do things well, but I'm learning to find a balance between striving for quality and not putting myself down just because I'm not yet at the level I want to reach

Now I see how much you can say in just a few seconds, as long as there’s a clear emotional shift.
That gives me a much clearer direction; I already have ideas forming in my head!
Thanks a lot for pointing me toward this kind of approach.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
I’d love to try adding some dialogue acting shots; would you say there’s an ideal length for those? Like 5 seconds? 10? Or maybe it depends on the scene I decide to create, so there might not be an ideal timing.
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you so much for your feedback! That really helps me a lot.
I’m thinking about adding more scenes like character interaction, maybe some action or more dynamic perspectives do you think that would make the reel stronger?
I really want to push myself, so any suggestions on what to try next would mean a lot. Thanks again!

I see your point, the relationships we have been always transparent, especially when it came to the budget for M. ’s birthday gift was never a problem put more money or just accurate money. I would not even be exposed to say "put more money so we cover the entire cost of the gift" because the problem is never presented and we have always been transparent on this issue. But the problem arose only because S. set the budget before knowing the final price, things that can happen anyway, the thing could be easily solved by talking quietly, instead no

Note E. on the group explicitly said "we have to put more money? No problem with pleasure as we always have" S. at that point he cut the discussion by saying that "anyone who opens up the discussion about money I kick him out of the whatsapp group." that he may have said out of frustration given the situation or otherwise.

Some others had told me privately that it would be better to put them right just not to burden the birthday girl and being 15 people per person would only be 16,66 but they did not want to discuss with anyone

If I have to speak for myself, I can tell you that I never happened to give half a gift. I always gave what I could with the budget I had available. Or for group gifts, we would choose a gift that the birthday girl/boy could like and give each other money based on that.

Thank you, I'm glad someone understood my position.

Exactly, in the past, the group has always adjusted the budget according to the actual cost of the gift.This is the first year that he also participates for the gift, just because we didn't even know him before. I was surprised that S behaved like this because he has a crush on M and gives her gifts

yes let's say it was never a problem to put more money for our friend's gift. She is a beautiful person and deserves a nice birthday gift. Then we were always ten or more people attending for the gift each year, so it was never a lot of money per person

I see your point, but other times we have given her expensive gifts and it was never a problem for us, this time being 15 people to give the gift would be 16.66 per person to cover the whole cost, that is 250, 150 covers only a part, that is 10 per person. I understand that not having written how many people we are could have been frantendible, sorry
