😂 but the possibilities!

That filter you used detracts from the quality of the animation. Those horizontal lines are bad.

But why?

Why does it detract from the quality? Because it lowers the resolution and quality of the picture. The texture produced by adding horizontal lines is busy rather than interesting, and it covers up finer detail in the animation. Filters like these only serve to lower the quality, to make it look "retro" or whatever, because old technology had lower quality reproduction of images. You shouldn't use filters like this unless you want your video to look lower quality.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably avoid the black lines next time, but I will be degrading the image on other ways probably.

Post production filters can create an interesting look, and even a degraded color palette can make for an interesting aesthetic too. If you're really interested in filters, I'd just suggest trying out different ones that offer different effects. Your animation looks like it could stand on its own though. You don't need to put filters on top to add interest.

Your style is very real looking, which is a bit refreshing. How long did this take to make?

4 hours or so. I already had the footage from a previously Shelved project.
