[It's A Beautiful Morning!]

K

^^Good Points^^
Some of this was funny. That scary red zombie looking thing was pretty scary looking, but I like how you animated it. Also, the dancing that you animated in the beginning was pretty funny.

This movie wasn't really that good. You used a lot of bitmap images, which all looked pretty bad when zoomed in on. You should have definitely at least traced some of the bitmaps to make them a little more Flash friendly for this. For the most part pretty lame animations, which was just annoying, plus this was hard to understand.

[Green Hills]

The music was simply amazing. I should have known it was by Nobou before I looked at your credits. It was a very soothing and calming song, which I enjoyed listening to for a while.

Yes...the hills are green, but I really don't need to see that for more than a couple of seconds before I get bored. You didn't really do much in this other than put some music to a background with pretty plain graphics and pretty plain animations. Both of these could use improving, with shading and stuff. And to reduce size you could have used some MC's instead of (what it seems like) putting everything and tweening everything on the timeline.

[Starship Blazdur III -ep2]

K

^^Good Points^^
A pretty funny movie. The voice overs were the best part of this, they were very intrestingly done and very unique. The drawings were good too, simplistic, yet good-looking. The storyline was very funny from beginning to end. A pretty enjoyable movie.

I thought this started a little bit too slow. I was bored in the beginning of this until the movie actually started. Also, the graphics could definitely improve a bit, with some more shading.

[Control: A Research Paper]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was pretty interesting to read. You made up for a lot of the boring stuff by adding in some great drawings, like the city in the economy section, and still had some very interesting information in here. The graphics were set up very well, nice layout and very functional.

^^Needs Improving^^
Seeing that huge block of text really turned me off. You should split this into multiple frames just to get people to be more interested and less intimidated by such an amount of text.

[Slalom]

A very good show of graphics. The shirt and hair of this guy blow in the wind, which shows you put some detail into your animations. The drawings were very good. I liked the character, and some of the further out scenes, like the views of the mountains, were expertly drawn. I like how you presented this in a cartoony way, and the music was very cool.

^^Needs Improving^^
No real storyline developed that was too interesting to me, so after the same stuff happening over and over, I got kind of bored with this. Some scenes, like when you get a view from this guy's eyes, things seem to be animated not as well as in other scenes (rocks/trees).

[Destroyer Clocks]

^^Good Points^^
Not bad drawings. You had tasteful use of gradients and the shaping was good with good drawings. I liked the speakonia, and once I understood the storyline, this was a pretty good movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
This movie was way too confusing the way you made it. I originally thought the black guy was killing the clocks, but for some reason you made it so that the stick figure with a clock face was the enemy of the clocks? That made no sense at all. It only started making sense once the last clock came out, and even now I'm not sure about this.

[Blob Wars]

K

^^Good Points^^
A pretty average random death match type movie. I liked the colors, they were pretty vibrant. The sound effects were well used and placed and appropriate. The graphics were decent, I liked the part where the grenade exploded in the air and shattered towards the screen, that was a cool effect.

^^Needs Improving^^
Some deaths were pretty lame, like when the guy just got a gun thrown at his head. Also, I can't say the deaths were really that creative. There wasn't anything in this movie that really stood out to me to make this better than anything else in the same genre.

A strange movie. The graphics were pretty good in the pre-movie. You had some good drawings in there, and the animations were pretty smooth. The music throughout this was all good choices.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really find this too entertaining. It was just too random for me, and there wasn't any storyline developed in this. Then I was very disappointed at the actual movie, which was just a single frame.

numbers responds:

There IS a storyline here. Undeveloped? You don't need a 4 minute Flash to tell a simple plot :)

I wonder if you're just saying there's no plot because I didn't type it out like in ATTACK Of The Stereo..hm

thanks for the points, and critic to work on storylines (well that's a given but hgjdhf)
