[y my 3rd movie]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Not too bad of a movie. It had a decent storyline and a decent joke at the end. The art wasn't too bad. Even though it's seven years old, still probably better than I can do.

The voices of the aliens...I thought the raspy, almost mechanical sound to them was kind of cool, but the quality was just terrible. Without the subtitles I wouldn't have had much idea what they were saying, and they were just a bit annoying overall.

Thanks

Wow, brilliant. I can't imagine a day when this movie would win only third place. The detail in the graphics was amazing. You clearly have a lot of talent in drawing and animating. I will definitely check out some of your other stuff. I really liked the music. It set an appropriate mood for the animations, which were really quite moving. A very powerful submission. Awesome work.

Nothing to really improve, but what was with the 3D image at the end? Was that from something and you just made a prologue to it?

Andrew-Buckley responds:

Third is still pretty good =D, as for my drawing skills I have to work on them a still which I am. The 3D image was my attempt at a bit of drawing in Photoshop so it wasnt done using a 3D program, I drew it on purpose for that shot. It was supposed to symbolise a memory, one she wouldnt forget =), like a snap shot. Thanks for the comments.

[Mr. Peanut]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Funny, but still kind of sad at the same time, even though I guess I was kind of expecting something bad to happen since he worked in a peanutbutter factory. Excellent graphics. Very colorful drawings and nice animations. Really liked how you had the "ad" parts of this too, they were pretty funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
Could have used a bit more humor. There were some puns and just some funny parts, but most of it I just found pleasant to watch because of the graphics, and not so much the humor.

[I Love Kids]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Hehe, pretty funny to see stick figures doing this, but I guess not so funny in real life. Anyway, the graphics were really good. You had that slight movement in every object, which made everything look nicer, and the animations were really well done. Funny ending as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
A little less than I was expecting. I thought there could maybe be some color in this, and maybe make it a bit longer as well.

[Scrotum 5]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
I was quite pleasantly surprised when I saw that episode 5 was out. It's been many years since the first four, right? I think this was a great way of continuing the series. Scrotum has really taken on human traits that make him like a badass of some sort. Really good job on effects in this, and overall cool movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
The only thing that really bugged me was the incredibly long and boring intro. It wasn't bad, per say, but just way too long in my opinion.

Awesome movie you have made here. The graphics were very professional, especially the animations, which were smooth and realistic. I really liked the characters. The acting was good, and made the characters quite believable and comical. Lots of good jokes throughout this movie, and overall a very enjoyable experience.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, the ending I didn't really like all that much. It basically ended with two characters who played a very minimal role in the entire movie.

[Sprite tutorial: Basic]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A tutorial with some decent information in it. From what I read, you seem to have a knowledge of what you are doing with sprites, and how to animate them, as you showed quite nicely. Good idea to put screenshots from Flash on here too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Just a sprite tutorial. Nothing in here that really can't be found in any other sprite tutorial. Graphics weren't amazing, and there were some parts that were just walls of text, which I'm not a fan of.

Why thank you!

Touché...

^^Good Points^^
Well, this was a pretty interesting submission. The graphics were nice. Good use of the vcam and lighting effects. The animal characters were pretty unique, but I think you did a good job animating them and making a fair storyline out of this.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought the voice overs were a little odd, which made them kind of hard to hear sometimes. Other than that pretty snazzy.

[Obstacle Course 2]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was a pretty neat little obstacle course you created for your sticks. The animations were really well done, especially the walking and such. I liked how there were a lot of unexpected thing, like traps and such throughout the course. Also, nice zoom effects were used in this.

^^Needs Improving^^
A bit generic if you ask me. There are a lot of submissions like this, and nothing really set it apart in my eyes.

[The Most Horrible Story]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Hehe, as sad as it would be in real life, it was pretty funny when transferred into Flash. The kid voice went very nicely with the child-like drawings. It was really an unexpected story, and I had a good time watching it and seeing what happened next. Best part was the ending, when not getting juice was the worst day of his life.

^^Needs Improving^^
Really can't think of much to say down here :(

BodiesOfStanley responds:

You get it! Cool. Now all I need to do is... oh my god TANKS!

But seriously thanks.
