[I Hate America]

I liked this.

^^Good Points^^
I thought this was going to be really horrible and just bash America, but you got your point out there in a well presented manner. This wasn't belligerant and was quite entertaining and had some humor. The drawings were pretty good and the animations were well done. I liked the music, it sounded very American and went kind of funny with the movie.

This was a little short. I would have liked to see more of your opinions done into flash movies. Also the text was really small and hard to read in some spots.

[Unfin'd Collab Entry.]

Ok.

^^Good Points^^
This wasn't a terrible attempt. The violence was kind of cool, though random, and the death scenes were, for the most part, pretty original. The animations show you have some amount of skill in making movies and I would like to see you make some more interesting things.

^^Needs Improving^^
The whole randomness of this doesn't suite me. A storyline would be nice. The sound effects weren't too original though. Also, the fact that you submitted this unfinished kind of turns me off.

Overall, good animations, but unfinished and random.

[-Jestar's D-DAY SKATE 2-]

Much better

^^Good Points^^
This was a very good improvement over the first episode. I liked the way you used actual people instead of stick figures, and the way you divided this into sections for each person was a nice feature. The animations were improved and the way you did some tricks in slow motion was extra cool.

^^Needs Improving^^
The deleted trick scene was kind of pointless. I don't see why you deleted it in the first place. Once again, the tricks aren't exciting. I also didn't like how if you chose a scene it would then play the rest of the movie instead of returning to the menu.

Much improved, but not without its errors.

K thx.

[- Jestar's D-DAY SKATE -]

Well made, but not very exciting.

^^Good Points^^
The best part about this movie was the graphics. Though you used stick figures, you animated the board well and the body movements of the stick skater were realistic. The sound effects were very clear and were right on cue with the animations in the movie. I liked the text style and coloring you used in the menu and throughout the movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
I was expecting this to be a little more exciting. You didn't really animate any tricks that, atleast to me, were very exciting. Also, the far away camera view doesn't help the situation out. From seeing this, I think you definitely have the talent to change the camera angle and animate some more interesting tricks.

This movie has some good graphics and sounds, but is a tad boring.

Flash is boring.
Thats why I go outside =]

[Mariotrix part 1]

Not very epic...

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were this movie's strongest points. Your animating wasn't half bad and I liked the text you used. It is easy to read and easy to see what character is speaking. The idea of putting Mario into a Matrix type environments is a pretty good one.

^^Needs Improving^^
This movie moved way too fast. You seemed to combine about an hour of the movie into two minutes, which in this case didn't work out very well. Work on each scene longer and either release them separately or as a longer movie. This movie also could use some music and more sound effects, possibly voice overs if you play them right.

A good attempt and a good concept, but poorly executed.

1. Not You Again!!!
2. thankyou for your ideas

[StopMotion Fun!]

Neat!

^^Good Points^^
I've never seen a movie done quite like this and I really like how well this was done. The movements were done so that they looked realistic in most parts, and there were very few parts where the tricks just looked like crap. The music was pretty good, and I found this to be quite humorous. Nice job.

^^Needs Improving^^
I would have made a menu with a scene selection so that to view any one part someone doesn't have to watch the whole movie.

Overall an unique piece on NG with a good amount of entertainment.

Thanks for the good review!

I was going for something new than cartoon animations, so I went with stopmotion. I tried to go as realistic as I could trying to do small movements in each frame, but it got pretty hard keeping still for a few minutes. And you found it humourous? Then my job is done.
Thats a good idea too. I may make a 'Stopmotion Fun 2!', so I will probably add a menu there. Thanks for the idea.

..and the review.
