"Not bad..."

submission: Zone of the Awesome

date: January 23, 2009

A few suggestions though: you need a new microphone... this one gets waaaaaay too much noise in the background. One thing about the awesome videos is that the pacing is far faster than this and usually covers a lot more into a story and a lot more profanity. You're relativity new at flash and this is great progress. Your animation skills could use some work but since it was an "Awesome" movie I guess it's acceptable. All I can say is just keep on practicing, get a new mic, maybe find some interested voice actors, just keep going with the creativity.

Keep it up man!

btw, the penis thing on all the frames bug me too...

"You could have used another week..."

submission: With My Mind's Madness

date: January 19, 2009

Or maybe even a month, don't get me wrong this is very praiseworthy it's just that if you had more time you'd get a sleeker looking animation.

Although looking at the animation as a whole; you did an amazing job for making this in a week. Sure the animation looked a bit rough, but it gave it a certain feel that I think added to the intensity of the video. Your idea for the combat in the film and the music was very well organized and ran very smoothly together.

All in all you deserve every ounce of credit the fanboys give you, every bit of laud that the portal gave you, and every award they throw at you for this flash. If you only had that extra week though... ah well.

Keep up the great work.

"A quick critique..."

submission: the way of my madness 1p

date: January 19, 2009

Madness is a weird and crazy thing and you tried to match it and that's a challenge all in its own...

It looks like you have potential but at the same time you didn't use it fully. You have good art skills but I feel during some scenes you just half assed it and wanted to finish the piece. The music choice was decent but the action was getting bigger and bigger and then you just cut us off... ouch.

All in all I think you should spend more time on the detail for the next part and perhaps ask around on ways to compress flash files without killing the quality so much. This can be really good, you just need to work harder on the detail and maybe come up with some new ideas. Hopefully the second part will be even better. :D

"I taste contorversy..."

submission: Raid Gaza!

date: January 7, 2009

Your game idea was well thought out and sort of reminded me of crimson warfare, an old game on here. The art style was decent enough for this game and for some reason this game is addictive....

Oh but the controversy that hits man, you must have braced yourself for all this coming left and right but your message is clear and you obviously put some work into it so it only strengthens your message right?

"I smell potential!"

I recommend you go to the NG tutorial page and read up a bit more... you have great potential now let's see you put it to use! Get some sound, get some color, get some more detail and you will be will on your way :D

"Hell it's not a bad idea..."

submission: h2o panic

date: December 16, 2008

If you learned to make a computer opponent, and maybe throw in some other game elements you'd probably get something amazing out of this. Go to the NG tutorial collection and I think they have something there...

Keep up the great work

"I see potential..."

submission: J's Soda

date: December 16, 2008

No offense but I could tell you cheated... XD. You have some skill though, I recommend you go to the NG tutorial page and look up on how to do some more dynamic movements in flash and a replay button. You have great skill and this video shows that all you need is some more knowledge and you'll be well on your way.

"Writing a critique...."

submission: jesus party

date: December 16, 2008

After watching this I'm going to be honest... I laughed. Not out loud but more like a chuckle which is what i got from all this really. Other than that that's all it was worth really. The animation was above average portal quality (usually front page stuff is around that quality), it wasn't choppy or poorly drawn (your style could have been better but the cartoony feel would be lost). One thing that a lot of people overlook is that you timed this with the music quite well which I think only added to your comedy.

I'm actually surprised you took this risk around this time of the year. The uber Christians like to lurk around this time of year and you're kinda pulling off a big one here. However I found it funny really, it's a parody people come on! If everyone knew to take a joke I think the world would be a better place. But that's another story...

All in all you did a decent job, comedy was good, animation was good, all in all I guess all I could say was that this was a "good" submission and that's around a 7 in my book.
