[Alex Seryoua: Episode I]

A Pretty Good E-surance commercial

Pros: graphical/artistic images, voice acting, story lines

Cons: The confusion, characters (carbon copy of female character from e-surance commerical), animation was not smooth/unnatural movement

Good luck with the next one.

you're not worth it.

[Sonic vs. Shadow: All Out]

A Decent Sprite Flash Movie

This is your first submitted flash, and the quality is decent. I don't have to vote 5 or 3. I will vote as a please. Just a bit of advice, if the movie is good and you put a bit of effort into it then it won't matter what score or what entry number you submit.

You should focus on polishing the flash until you feel they are your best. I enjoyed the movie and found it entertaining. Its a form of art, and very few are born with animating skills (some are though), just keep practicing. Over time your work will improved.

Soniccritic responds:

Yeah. That was dumb of me to ask of a rating, but I was just kidding around. It appears that I'm not funny. At all.

[Dawn Till Dusk *Trailor*]

A little slow on the movment

Before anyone blams my pc for the slowness, I just want to let you know I ment the above statemet for the plot. I found it to be a bit boring and used too many times. Be more origional

captinx responds:

yeh i would do that but cus i done it now all the sound n stuff gose out of sink....but i will make the really flash about 16 FPS

[The Big Fat Tutorial]

I learned something new today!

I found it amazing how beautiful a background could be with a few vectored images tweened together. Graphic appeal and a fraction of the file size.

Graphics: 8

Although the camera panning was about the only thing new to me, I ACTUALLY understood it, ever thought of being a teacher? I thought I'd get bored but I was intertained throughout.

Style: 8

Sound was great although annoying after awhile but you saved yourself by having a nice selection to cycle.

Sound: 7

Except for the plane crash I don't think there was any violence

Violence: 4

Thanks for the actionscript

Interactivity: 10

Love those fairies!

Humor: 6

Helbereth responds:

Yeah the whole fraction of the file size thing ought to be helpful. I', surprised more people don't do so for their movies seeing as how it's so versatile, and yet so simple.

Yes for about a month I entertained the idea of being a teacher. It's something I might pursue later in life, but I'll have to get over my innate distaste for adolescent attitudes before that happens.

Yeah I wanted the music kept to a video game remix theme, so I figured having a fair number of them would save me from getting too many bad sound reviews. Besides, I had already made a number of the loops a while back (the Shadowrun and great faerie themes are the only loops I constructed specifically for this tutorial).

The plane crash was just fun to make. It's a sight gag meant to draw a laugh in the middle of boring exposition. If you look close at the burning wreck, the scene is a bit more gory than you might believe when you first look (it's possible to pause it during the credits to zoom in).

I barely grasp the basic concepts of action script. It'll be slow going for me in that department mostly because I have this tendency toward disorder - a bad trait to have when doing any programming.

Yeah the Faerie Mafia were another sight gag that I added to keep people's attention span in check. Originally I was going to have camera shakes, but after trying it a few times with no real success I just made the text bounce around. BTW the fact that I used red green and blue for the faerie colors is not just because they're the primary colors of light. I may be putting Link to work at some point...

Anyway, thanks for the itemized review!

[Swedish Saveloy]

Should be number 1 not second place.

I liked it more than Zipper Fish's Troy's Top 10 Nip-Slips. This took alot more effort and I found no bugs, just people that get stuck.

It had more than random celeb pictures and a funny animated character... like the last good movie from them.

[Beeku's Big Adventure Ch1]

Alot like Earthworm Jim for Saga Gen Console

I liked it alot and the backgrounds and game play reminded me of one of my fav Saga Gen console games, Earthworm Jim. Ah, memories. Alien Hominid also seems to have the same or similar gameplay although this game currently features a very cute sidekick of a great series. Its nice to see a spinoff.

[Startropics Underworld]

Simply Awful

Such a bad rip off.

"The guy doesn't even know how to directly connect his game console to the computer to avoid background noise."

Most annoying thing since... since... the Clockcrew! LMAO.

[>>METALIZE<<]

Sorry

I didn't care for it because it wasn't very orginal sounding. I liked how heavy it was but it wasn't very catchy and at times I found it just plan loud and annoying. It lacks diversity and orginality.

[In my room]

Intresting

I like it, very calm and collected sort of like my room on a clean day. I can see this being used in a good flash movie.
