[Tsunami Pt 1]

Woah

That was fucking great! How the hell did you get that thing into 300k?!?!?!? Whatever you're on, I want some. Great piece, can't wait for the next one. Peaches . . .

[Target Man]

Ok . . . explanation

I'm sorry, kid, I had to blam this one. Let me explain why:

Flash Elements: Parts of it look like you did it all in one layer, which doesn't EVER look good. The audio of the narration was really quiet while the audio of the screaming and such was REALLY LOUD! I know its kind of hard to control that with the audio controls in MX, but you're going to have to fix that sooner or later. The graphics were lacking . . . at best . . . Sometimes you used the circles/rectangles tools and sometimes you hand drew the stuff. I realized, while doing my second flash, that you can't have a combination of computer generated and hand drawn things. You should pick one style or the other is going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Film elements:
I don't care about these charecters when they are children! I want to know about what they did when they grew up! I want some real story! What happened to Target Man after the other kid stuck him with the dart!?! Did he bleed? Did his mom come out and slap the other kid? WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?! In the beginning, it never really explained how he got these powers. Was there some space radiation? Did that meteor thing have weird extraterrestrial chemical compounds in it that affected the Earth's pull of gravity on him? Or did he have these powers from birth? (What's a baby doing on a space ship anyway?)

In general, I think that you could rework this and resubmit when you get a lot more practice with this flash stuff.

Hank-F responds:

That's one thing I forgot to mention in my movie. The meteor had "extraterrestrial chemical compounds" that did it. Some of the other stuff is supposed to remain unanswered, though and will be answer in the cartoons following. I'll take your advice on the drawing thing and I'll stick with one style. I think I'll do freestyle. Works better for me.

[Dangerous Space]

Yes . . .

I did really enjoy this. I've never seen a scientist who breathed with his hump before though. :) Nice, smooth animation, good music, the voice quality wasn't too good, but it wasn't enough to distract me from the 5 rating. Nice flash.

[The Monkey Square]

Tweak this

The thing was fucking great . . . well, after that AMAZINGLY LONG credits sequence. I downloaded this for the animation, not to see who created it. The text you guys used for the credit sequence did NOTHING for the overall mood of the piece and was, in general, distracting. I gave this piece a four. It would have gotten a five, but those credits in the beginning really affected my judgement.

DemonPenguin responds:

i did tweak it i made the monkey square 2 and the credits r the same cause i believe i need them in there ...i guess i like them too much ...but any way check it out..

[MadStix]

well . . .

I think someone needs some counciling.

I saw your movie, and it blows

[G.I. Joe - The Other Half]

smooooooth

It was so smooth! One thing I particularily noticed was the mechanics of Mr. Joe's hand. They looked so natural, so real, well, if it wasn't a cartoon.

[Tour Of My Head]

I give this the nine.

It was really cool . . . but somebody's been doing a little too much acid. Great vision.

[TK- "Strike Anywhere"]

Truth in action

I love it! It's made my favorite animations list. You should all listen to the dark-haired one. He speaks the truth.
