[The Walking Stickman ep.2]

This was much better than the first episode in basically every way possible. You improved on your already smooth and life-like animations. I found these to be superior. The storyline was also much better. A little bit unexpected and pretty funny too. Again, great backgrounds too, they look really cool in this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think you could have become a little more creative with the box opening tries. I was a little bored by all of the basic guns/explosions that every such movie uses.

chinkeeyong responds:

I -was- going to add a rampaging bull sequence and a termite sequence, but because of running time consistency with the first episode and the like, I left them out in favour of the sequences I thought NG users would be more comfortable with.
Looks like I was wrong. *sigh*

Thanks anyway!

[The Walking Stickman ep.1]

Definitely a very colorful movie. I say that because of the backgrounds, which I thought were very cooly done. The animations looked very good, you obviously know what you are doing, and you got a little creative with this in the storyline.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think perhaps you were a little too obvious in displaying your animating skills. For example, in the beginning, the guy walks very slowly, which gives me the impression that you are just trying to show us your good walking animation rather than a movie.

chinkeeyong responds:

Eh... that was because in the beginning he walked too fast for you to catch up on what was going on, and I lengthened it. Unfortunately , it looks like I lengthened in a little TOO much, eh? :-)

This was a funny, short little film. It's cool how you use people from NG as characters. The drawings looked humorous, and I liked the ending with a LOL, Internet scene. Great music too.

I had to watch this movie twice. First time I watched it, I couldn't hear the audio at all. I thought there was none, so I had to replay just to make sure, but after turning up the volume I found that there was sound. Just watch that next time.

Review Request Club.

MetalDart responds:

MetalDart: I told people to turn up the volume. -_-

Hemlok: Thanks for the good review.

A very refreshing movie! It was nice and short, yet had a high quality of graphics in it. The animations were very smooth and very life-like. Even the hair moves realistically. Great use of effects like blurring, and great shading. I liked the voice overs, they fit the characters and facial animations well. The ending was pretty funny. I have to say I was entertained throughout this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
Unfortunately, not a really original idea, as you admit. I'm not really a fan of stuff that isn't completely original, but no doubt this was well made.

A unique piece here. Looks like you put some effort into it, and you had a few good ideas for the bloopers. The music quality was good too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't see much animating actually done by you here. Looks more like you took some clips and edited a little bit...like making it go backwards, overanimating, etc. I really wasn't entertained by much other than the first blooper, which was the only one I thought that was good.

I think this was a pretty well done stick movie. What set it apart as being good is that you constantly changed the camera angle to make things more interesting. The animations along with that were very good, smooth and realistic animations. The sound effects were well placed for the most part, and the ending was funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
I noticed in one part where the guy is firing a gun, the sound seems to cut off a few seconds too early. Something that could be changed.

A neat little movie you have here. I like how you made this movie, the animations are very smooth and the illusion, if you will, is very well animated and believable. The way you had it loop forever along with the music was a good idea too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I hate long introductions, and yours was pretty long. It was way too long for the length of this loop.

Popesture responds:

At the time the intro seemed cool though i do agree it is too long I shall work on this.

Ok for a short random little movie. I say that the graphics were well done. Lots of shading was used in this movie, and all shading was consistent with a light source at one spot. Not bad animations and some cool effects in the radio and dance animations.

^^Needs Improving^^
People today want storyline and meaning in a movie, not just random dancing animation, which is why this has such a low score. Random stuff usually doesn't do too good.

[Sick Kid - I Like......]

^^Good Points^^
I liked how this movie went. It was kind of cool how the movie started off kind of sad, trying to make the viewer feel sad for this guy, and then very suddenly we find this guy is a real sick and strange. I liked that, and the drawings and weren't too bad.

^^Needs Improving^^
Maybe you tried to imitate Salad Fingers a little, but regardless, the voice overs were pretty hard to hear. On my normal volume level, which I can hear movies very well with, I had a hard time hearing this.

[Space Dragon 2007]

^^Good Points^^
It's pretty neat how you got this in to be the first movie of 2007, which is a cool accomplishment. Anyway, the movie itself was pretty funny since it followed roughly the story of the first episode of Futurama, except for the ending, which was pretty funny. I also liked the cameos of about ten extra character from your other movies.

^^Needs Improving^^
I definitely liked your movies better when you used Speakonia, it's just a great program :D

But I'd like to move away from Speakonia, except for if Clocks are used. I think I am going to a better direction with my flashes now. Maybe with humour like this will get me somewhere. :)
