Hi Filipe - I'm going to put a restriction on your work - You are over complicating things and not thinking in filmmaking terms. We spoke about this the other day in relation to character design/modelling. In this case you are designing rooms when all you need is a backdrop. You are making a 'close up' film, particularly when the shrimps are concerned so you don't need to make everything else in the room - nothing else beyond the frame is needed (see link below). You set is also 'design-less' and completely unrelated to your character designs. Its 'a geometric box' not a 'claymation/cake (fondant) decorating' style world.
As I said, think like a filmmaker/designer with a budget - What you have done here is blown loads of precious funds on something you like to do (modelling) not on what your film requires. Does that make sense? - The restriction is 'SIMPLICITY'. Simple shapes, simple eyes, simple sets, and the a world like 'Creature Comforts'. That is the charm of your idea, the moment you over complicate it, that idea 'dies'.
Filipe, I have repeated this same piece repeatedly (Premise - now). Justin has given you the same advice, so did Phil. It's 'Creature Comforts/Muppets' filmmaking - Fixed camera's and a clay world. I can't really help you if you go off that path again.
Your feedback is understandable, this is meant to be focused on SIMPLICITY not on, little details. The clay look will be developed on a frame shot im designing on my Storyboard/ConceptArt for this I plan to go back to the audios after this step to add some effects making this world having the same impact that these movies/scenes you referenced. References for this will be posted.
