[Another Christmas Quickie]

Brutal

I love this. I've watched it twice already and I think I'm going to watch it plenty of more times. (P.S. the artwork is pretty fuckin' rad)

tehslaphappy responds:

Thanks faggot.

[[LL] 9/11 AE]

You're tearing me apart, Sunshine!

Yes, I sat through the whole thing to the end to see what seems to be the plane blowing up above the Twin Towers very anti-climatically, using a very popular .gif explosion. The effort put forth in this submission is minimal at best. There is nothing redeeming, and the only good thing in the submission is the music by Oney which was used in "The Room Tribute" made by Tom Fulp. A more meaningful effort would have been appreciated.

LOL

[YoinK Wins An Award]

lol

Excellent animation, great sound quality, and pretty fucking funny. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

YoinK responds:

thanks, definitely had to make this one quickly.

[Street Fighter Series]

Welcome to the portal

If this really is your first movie, then WOW! You sure are off to a great start. The animation is really good, the graphics are good, and the sound is good as well. However, in terms of regular quality, it isn't too fantastic, but still, when first-time authors impress me, it's hard not to say really good things!

A few pointers for creating better flash: Make it longer, and place more detail. That waterfall sure was cool looking. However, this is 2009, and the bar of quality in flash movies overall is really high now. Another pointer is don't make trailers, but this is an OK exception. Plus, sometimes flash authors really need the publicity, I can understand. As well, try making custom sprites for certain situations. Funny faces and funny looking stances come in handy in comedy sprite movies.

I hardly see any flash authors with first movies that get past the portal's judgment. However, this might be a rare exception.

Maybe you're the chosen one...heh.

WhiteGhost responds:

Hehe thanks man!

[Triangle n' Octagon]

Lower your expectations, Part 2

I'm seeing you are following suit with Stamper's "Circle n' Square", and basically I have the same pointers.

I have seen your previous work, and like Stamper's, it's very good. The voiceovers, along with the audio, are crystal clear and perfect.

However, there is no redeeming qualities in the graphics content or the animation.

Once again, I would be giving this movie a lower score if it wasn't for the voiceovers and the sound, and the laughter that followed.

JohnnyUtah responds:

listen to me,

nevermind.

GOODBYE

[That's Callstate's Stand]

Humorous Parody

I have a hard time finding alot of submissions that I enjoy on NG these days, I'm glad yours fell into the enjoyable category! While it is a bit short (and the file size is perfect for that, kudos by the way), I thought it was pretty damn funny. Whenever I see Dennis Haysbert doing his allstate commercials now, all I will be able to think about is this damn video and the flys coming out of his teeth! VERY EXCELLENT animation by the way. The sound is superb as well.

Nice job.

BillyNapalm responds:

Thanks! I'm glad someone else will see Mr. Haysbert for who he truly is. Every time that commercial comes on the TV, I don't sleep for two days.

[Pink Ball Phone Of Doom]

WAY too short

Nice effort, but it's just WAY too short.

gwokymarla responds:

Mmm. Yeah I'm to impatient to make longer flashes.

[Fancy Dog: 09]

That's it?

So we open up with something that looks fairly well animated. Then the dog blows up, dies, and by then it's already over.

Too short. Make it longer and with a point.

BobtehLog responds:

There is a point. Havn't you bothered to read the story so far?

[An Introduction to PC's 2]

Well

Nice premise, but stuff like this should go a bit farther than ending at being blown up. We should go into the installed operating system where it will even further insult the person using it...I have to say I was insulted through this entire experience and I liked it. But, it's just text. However I'll give you credit for making it very nteractive and tasteless, but at the same time, likable.

alexcanola responds:

Thx for the review, I do like your comments, and ideas, and I am starting on Part 3 of Introduction to PC's. Part 3 will contain the MSVISTA Dos Operating System, and Will feature the complete Version of it. Eventually, You will see a GUI Operating System in Part 5 - 7.

[The Doom Of Scepter, Ep:1]

Needs more work

You can't deliver a flash movie on graphics alone. It needs sound of some sort, a storyline that makes sense, and a bit more attention to detail.

It did in some spots feel like an NES game with the fade ins/outs going choppy, but for some reason that's very cool looking and if you are to work on this more, then keep that. Also the text being shown character by character was also very retro and cool looking. All that needs improving is the graphics. Fill stuff in with color with the paint bucket tool. Don't make layers beneth the characters show. That's an eye-sore.

KLLZDC responds:

thanks
if you know how to put sound in these animations please tell me
i'm using macromedia flash... whatever it's called for making movies and i still don't know it
XD
