Incredible Animation Leaves You Wanting MORE!

I recently saw Zoom Suit previewed during the Palm Beach International Film Festival in April 2005. I've had the pleasure of working on several independent films with the extremely talented director, John Taddeo. This project is one of his top film creations, staffed by a team of visionary artists. The animation is unreal, bringing the comic book characters to life. John Taddeo is the creative genius behind the concept and direction of the film. His experience in storyboard creation and independent film-making is visible throughout every shot. Every scene was extremely artistic, paying close attention to the smallest of details. The sound effects were ear popping and set quake-like vibrations throughout the theater. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Taddeo has in store for Zoom 2!

Good Stuff

I thought the traditional style animation was great, its very much in the style of anime.I don't care much for the computer generated style of animation, but the switch to it at the end wasn't all the bad. I like the look of the suit and look forward to seeing its capabilities. Looks likes its gonna be and interesting and enjoyable story. I just got done reading a comic book called, "Armor-X," which has a similar plot, albeit more mature then "Zoom Suit." I'm a fan of superhero comics and movies from way back, so I'm always looking for new content. I think fans of books like "Zoom's Academy," and "Ps 238," will enjoy "Zoom Suit."

Awesome little animated short!

Really dug this anime-style cartoon! Not too bad for a first-time effort from director Taddeo. And, as a long time Iron Man the Marvel Comic character, I enjoyed the additional designs by legendary artist Bob Layton! Taddeo introduces a young guy who is made fun of for being a little poor. Kid can't even afford a Halloween costume, so he's taunted constantly.

Meanwhile, a corrupt agent decides to steal an alien armor, only to discover a small problem. His loss is our young hero's gain as a new super guy is born: ZOOM SUIT! I look forward to further animated adventures!

Zom Suit good fun for all

We saw it at this years San Diego Comicon, and loved it. My daughter was asking for me to get her a zoom suit the rest of the con. The animation style was alright, but seemed a bit choppy in parts. Hopefully some more effective editing will help that. The story wasn't completely original, but the plot twists and humor made up for that. I'm not sure who or how they will be distributing the film, but everyone should at least try and get it on DVD eventually. It would be nice to see some DVD extras such as how they created the characters, and the whole getting the film released process, as they seemed to be having some difficulty finding distributors at the con, and I think that aspect would make some interesting storytelling for future filmmakers.

Entertaining little short...

What first drew me to the Zoom Suit was it's numerous connections to Marvel's Iron Man. Now that I have a feel for the character, there is some of that, but it's woven its own storyline with a main character that is a whole lot less sure of himself, apt to make mistakes & lose confidence. Iron Man was cool and collected, always seemingly in control, Zoom Suit offers someone a little more like the rest of us...

The short is a bit rough around the edges, and the stylized visuals seem a bit irregular, jerky, but it's not bad (the prerendered bit at the end was quite nice though). This is early, and the finished product promises to be something to get excited about, especially if they keep drawing from talents like Gene Colan and Bob Layton.
