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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You don't have much of a singing voice, but hell, I have to give you credit for using your own song, which is something rare on NG. I liked the lyrics, very meaningful and interesting. You stayed with the lyrics in the animations and had some creative drawings.

Just like your last movie, the graphics really hurt this. You don't have very good drawings, especially the people, and the fact that there is very little shading really makes this look unprofessional. Also, try to get a better quality in the audio.

Glad you liked it. Yeh, with the audio, it's the equipment I use. (Let's just say it's not exactly proffessional equipment)Well, thx for the advice, and thx for the review.

I liked the song you chose to make a video for. It had good lyrics and you animated to them pretty well. I liked the overall happy feeling from this movie that I got. Sometimes the animations were pretty clever, like the spinning earth part of this to simulate the days going by. Overall, a good music video.

^^Needs Improving^^
The drawings are the weak part in this. You don't use a lot of shading or gradients, so the drawings and coloring just look a little ameture. The animations could in turn use some improving, as they are all very simple animations.

Timsplosion responds:

Glad that overall you enjoyed it. I'm gonna try to improve over coming flash. Thanks for the advice, and thx for the review. :)
