"Halarious"

submission: Fight2 Blue vs Grey

date: June 16, 2006

Ah, your preloader dinosaur thing - I haven't found something so amusing for ages, thanks for that! I don't mean to be mean with that, it's absolutely great!
In the movie, pretty well done really - great stuff, nothing new but I suppose you know that. That you stopped the action to let the camera move was a bit halfassed, see if you can figure out how to not do that in future (run the action in a movie clip within the main clip and move that during action).
Geez that dinosaur is great!

Score: 5

"Well."

submission: Alien Sea

date: June 16, 2006

The effect is somewhat good, but ... in terms of flash animation, it's pretty halfassed. Learn to use movie clips within your main clip, so you could have fish tails swishing, jellyfish moving etc. so it gives it a bit more credibility. I had to score low because this is just a bunch of really halfassed graphics tweened over very long periods, the best thing is the music and you didn't create that so no credit. I was expecting alien sea too, not poorly drawn dolphins, better drawn clownfish, and stingrays that pop out of nowhere. So yes you've got potential I suppose, just put effort into your graphics next time. That's what let you down here.

Score: 6

"Pretty good!"

submission: Jet Pack

date: June 14, 2006

For early animations this is really good! Things to improve on - background graphics are needed. It's boring with nothing. Make something with a point, or a twist, or a moral, or something, and it'll do better. I liked your animation style, I hope you'll continue because that was quite good! Niggly things, I'd keep his mouth in his face. And parts were a bit lazy, like not showing the blasting up with the smoke - I know it would've taken a while but it would've been cool. The way the jetpack folded out was great! All the best.

Score: 4

"You lost me at 'lol'."

submission: Emo

date: June 11, 2006

Don't put 'lol' in your movie, if it's funny it'll get a laugh, if not - no. It's not a very complex peice, but it's kindof well done. Would be more amusing if you went into more detail about the whole emo-ness really, taking the piss out of particular points - but it's alright, well done.

Score: 7

"Not your best"

submission: Primal War 8

date: June 7, 2006

It doesn't look like you're much occupied with being populist, but I quite agree with that Hamster dude about this episode. Nothing happens at all really, I assume it's because my computer sucks as to why the music stopped well before the flash did, so a big slab of this had no sound at all. Just the extent to which the females were 'humans with tails' and the males were 'beasts with faces' was the problem for me. If you want to draw chicks in bikinis, just take time out from the series to draw chicks in bikinis. Your animation and artwork are great as always, just the direction of this one wasn't up to the benchmark expected from your previous work, I suppose. It's not crap by any means, but I'm not keen to watch it again, put it that way. I'm sure the next episode'll get back on track. Your xfactor is the whole beast thing in this series, not hairy women. Its yours to do what you will though, so all the best with the rest of it - though I would suggest not holding off finishing the series too long or it'll get too obvious and tired. You could always make something with bikini girls in it afterwards!

Score: 9

"Very good!"

submission: Engineered

date: June 6, 2006

That was great! I loved the wee details, the dash in the robots eyes, etc. The young were well done too, must be hard to pull of that kind of look in flash well. It's a great wee plot, you can get a bit of meaning out of it, which is excellent work! Big ups all round for this!

Score: 9

"I'm glad frontpage exists"

submission: Watermelon Head 1-5

date: June 5, 2006

So noone misses out on this kind of thing due to the predictable voting of the mass NG voter group. This was halarious! Well done. Must've been a real buzz seeing it on tv! I'm all for more of these.

Score: 9

"Very nice!"

submission: El Despertar

date: June 5, 2006

I really quite enjoyed this peice, it's great to see something that's a bit different on NG. Your style and everything are something special. I haven't given this a perfect score, just because the graphics were a bit 'clunky' and not so fluid, if you get me. Don't get me wrong, they're great, and there's kudos for tackling some angles and detail and things that you did in this - but there's room for improvement there. Possibly amp the framerate up a bit in future episodes. Keep it up, you're definately onto a great idea for establishing a web presense with this series.

Score: 7

"I remember your previous episodes"

submission: Flystrip 4

date: June 4, 2006

And this wasn't really as good in my opinion, and I'm sorry about it. I came into watching meaning to give you a 5 because the other episodes were underloved from memory - but this didn't really warrant it, the added character and cameo of steve were a bit ... reaching. The whole concept relies on the fly humour, and adding other things just makes it like every other short skit on here, which is nothing new. I am sorry about this, but I thought I should suggest why the vote is low.

Score: 6

"Tired"

submission: Kung Fu Pigeon

date: June 4, 2006

Well, there's definately aspects of this that were great - I found the style, no outline edges kinda thing, quite interesting - but the whole thing was quite slow and I found myself bored, wanting to close it. My only suggestions are to up the pace of action, and something with more direction than nothing would be beneficial.
