A pretty good movie, I think. I have never played the game, but it sounds similar to Runescape, so I am familiar. The graphics were fair. You had your own drawings, and some good animations in this, and Steve Erkle making an appearance was funny. The facts part had to be my favorite of this movie though. Great music throughout this movie.

Some sound effects could be used I think. This was mostly just music, which didn't leave much space for sound effects. Try to lower the music and add some sound effects.

[Sorrow and Woe]

^^Good Points^^
I really liked the music. It definitely set a sorrowful mood depicted in the title. I just wish you had included audio credits so I could download the song, it was really nifty. I liked the winter scene pictures, and I thought most of the pictures were well chosen.

^^Needs Improving^^
Sadly, you really did minimal work for this movie. You just took a bunch of pictures from Google and put them into a flash movie. While the music was entrancing, this wasn't really a great movie, considering that you didn't even trace the images to make it at least seem like you made your own images.

This was much better than I expected it would be. The graphics were pretty good. The drawings were very detailed and there was lots of shading. The voice overs were very good, they sounded just like they should have, very funny sounding. The storyline, though maybe a little crude, gave me a good laugh throughout.

Ok, from the intro I thought this was going to be completely crude. The beginning was pretty lame, with the gay sex and all, so not a very good beginning at all. I'm pretty sure people will find this offensive too.

[SoccerWorld]

The sound was pretty good. You had three different songs in this, and it's always good to have some variety in music. The graphics were pretty good as well. You had some good animations in this movie, and good drawings as well. Very smooth.

^^Needs Improving^^
The white backgrounds were pretty odd looking. You should have definitely done some background drawings in this to make it look a little better. Also, I notice that this doesn't really have a lot of soccer in it. It's mostly just a star wars fight.

[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.

^^Needs Improving^^
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]

^^Good Points^^
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.

^^Needs Improving^^
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.

^^Needs Improving^^
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]

K

^^Good Points^^
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).

[Steve-o in Pop culture]

^^Good Points^^
Sometimes the music was pretty good. I liked the car song in the beginning which fit the theme well. Some of the drawings weren't bad either. The best was the greasy kid working at the burger store.

^^Needs Improving^^
This movie made absolutely no sense. It was just a bunch of random, unrelated events. You definitely should have developed a storyline, because this was just all around the place, which turned me off. Your animations consisted completely of tweens, resizing, and rotation, which is very primitive. The sound (besides the music) was just annoying and sounded pretty low quality.
