[Tom and Wade's Adventure]

lmao!!

that was seriously hilarious. I loved it. the walk cycles were so funny to watch as the two adventurers explored their own site. Great job, I liked that alot. it was really slowly paced though, which made it seem a little boring in times, and the whole thing was basically just the movieclip of wade and tom walking, but still, it seemed to support itself fairly well. Why were they carrying a wagon of swfs though? I didnt get that part.

good job! I liked it.

M4KBOT responds:

Thanks.

I don't really know why i included the cart of swf's, i guess I thought it would be cute. I got the inspiration for this from that bit on the Simpsons when they're watching the OC and the characters are at Knotts berry farm.

[Pico Speed Sketch]

speedy AND sketchy!

nice piece you've got here, be grateful that you can not only DRAW with pencils, but also shade with them. Sadly, I can do neither, which is why I use a pen. :)

overall it was pretty good, when I went into it I was expecting a lesson on how to draw pico quickly, which would have been pretty awesome, but this was pretty cool too, as milinko said, the lighting was a little off at times, but that didnt really take away from it at all I dont think, and the music went really well with it. congrats on the collection!

lol, btw, Im sure your wondering why 10 for violence, but really, who's more violent than pico?

["IF"]

beautiful

you are my all time favorite animator. congratulations. This was just...sooo.... amazing... little details like the rain drops were perfected and the movement of the characters was just stunning. awesome, great job! congrats on the award and the collection!

[Army Life]

I'm 13 too!

honestly, I really didnt like it that much, so I voted 2 and THEN read the authors comments that you clearly stated to please read.
Yeah, um. for your age, its not bad... but... I'm 13 too. I dont use my age as a way to get higher votes. If you present yourself with confidence, (but not too much!) and work hard to think up new things that no one's done before, then you'll do way better than if you just justify your *pretty average* work and make stick films. I too was self taught, so I know what it's like to struggle with the challenges of flash. If you need any help or tips or anything, just PM me, Im usually around :)

OMG just read your name. I know someone named chris collins. You dont HAPPEN to be called fishy against your will in our class, do you? If your not that same Chris, then disregard that.

Hope I've helped a bit! Good luck!

[It Ain't Benign Viewer]

lol

I liked this alot, the doctors note totally made the whole thing tho, without it, the presentation would have seemed boring and less awesome. I dont think that doctors note idea has been done before either, so extra points for that! The buttons in the bottom corners were a little distracting because of how much they moved, next time you might want to change that so the grey stuff only rolls behind the text while the mouse is hovering over the button.
Sound would have been nice, but I'm sure it would be hard to get something that worked with the piece, since this is really just a presentation of comics.
The comics themselves were quite funny, the childish style was perfect for the random content, so you should be quite pleased with yourself about that. This will probably get a green score. I 5'd it.

thanks,
morrow

Thank you, good sir.

[Minushi - Chapter 5]

AWESOME!!!!

best thing ever, except that it gets a little confusing of when in the story this takes place now that I've seen up to number 9 :) Im amazed this doesnt have a perfect 5/5. everyone should also have AT LEAST reviewed 10/10.
As usual, amazing job, I cant wait for another segment!

[Notters Film Reel]

personally

...I wouldnt hire you from looking at this, not because the animation is bad (which it's not, the actual motions and everything are really amazing) but because pretty much everything you've shown has been done before, and (I think) that with your crazy skill at flash, you have the potential to do something no one else has done before. Then again, Im a 13 year old, so I'd not be able to hire you anyways :)

All the little shorts were fantastic, 10/10 for style and graphics, but only a nine overall because of the little texts that happened during the shorts. They averted my attention and when I had read the titles in the bottom left, by the time I'd looked back, the animation had changed to something different. It was really entertaining tho, and the fact that you did it in a week [wow!] blew my mind. great job! wouldnt be surprised if this was today's daily feature.

[Fleep]

You clearly have a scanner.

This was really fun for me to watch because I personally really love experimental animations, so this was really pleasing to my eye. Eyes.

The whole thing seemed pretty well thought out, from the textures of the paper used for the background (I've done some stuff like this, check out "treekeepers") I think they were graph paper and lined paper turned on its side, to the distortion of the voices. The music mixed really well with it, and the characters were well drawn and for the most part well animated. My only suggestions would be to maybe quiet down the distorted voices, because for the time being they're really loud, and make the buildings in the scene with the spinning sun bigger. It was kinda hard to tell they were buildings.
Menus and text weren't bad, actually, the opening menu wasnt my favorite because of how the 666 seemed really detatched from the "beyond insanity" and with both of them kinda sprawled across the top corner of the page, I honestly did not know that was your screen name. Also, all of the text, including the text in the conversation about horses coming for tea (maybe a bit too weird) (but either way, lol. ) seemed really bitmappy and pixelated. The best example of this is when the meatballesque guy says "I was waiting for the rain" and the title, fleep, on the menu.

All in all, I really did like this, but if you do happen to want to redo it, think about these suggestions. I 5'd it, so dont worry about the not-ten review score. :)

Thanks,
Morrowdays

Oh, and what was up with the dead guy at the end? That confused me.

Beyond-Insanity-666 responds:

I have gotten comments of the voices from other people, I'll go tone them down now.
I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I really enjoyed reading your observations of this, not many people can type up an essay for a review, but it's nice when someone does.
Thanks for the review =D

[SSAM #5]

what?

sorry, didnt like it much.

firstly, everything was done in a very south-park-ish style, which is only okay when you include tons of swearing, which you didnt, considering there were only about five words spoken in the entire movie.

OKAY. flaws. The people didnt move, the text was way to small, I think it would have been more interesting if you had an unrelated voice say everything that was at the bottom of the screen, um. yeah. When the guy went to the girls house, the mouth movements werent amazing, the audio wasnt great, and how would he even know where she lived?! (stalker)

Afterwards, when he was sitting on the bench, having a red haired girl come over with a note was kinda weird, like, seriously, when your standing next to the person, you dont give them a note. kinda pointless? yes. Also about that scene, the position his hand was in wouldn't really have lent itself to holding a cigarette, it looked as though it was just kinda propped above his hand on some random layer in flash. The whole plot twist with him having chased chased the wrong girl was really confusing, especially since she never would have still recognized him. The whole having his friends come along with him to england seemed pretty... forced... because they didnt appear again after that. Also, why was the red headed chick in england anyways?? Very strange. After I was suitably confused by all that, some random stranger came along and shot the guy's head. WTF? Why?

The advice I give you is this: develop your characters more! without any personality, the whole plot goes to waste, and its not very interesting at all for your audience. Other people may have enjoyed it enough to get it the daily feature, but in my opinion, this wasnt worth it.

Thanks,
Morrowdays
