[Pirates vs. Ninjas?]

(title in work)

I enjoyed this information. I share your sentiment that the whole pirates vs. ninja debate got really out of hand and annoying. I enjoyed your animation, it was simple yet got the point across, and the character drawings did the same. I would have liked a few more sound effects in this, and the ending was a bit of a let down. I don't see how crushing one overused meme is accomplished by using another overused meme.

Well it was better than most people's first flash movie. It was nothing spectacular, and you still need to learn a lot graphically, but it is a good start. The characters looked a bit odd. Looked like they only had one giant eye. Overall though, a nice animation set to good music.

[(junk)TLZ-The Tornado]

(title in work)

A pretty poor submission. You mixed sprites with a gray background and a poorly drawn tornado, and that was the extent of the graphics here. The storyline was mildly humorous, but you drowned that out with references to the movie within the text, saying stuff like, better get on before the lameness makes you stop watching, or something like that. Have confidence in your work, and if you don't, why bother submitting it?

[Back to the Start Mario]

(title in work)

This was quite a unique look at Super Mario Brothers. He has a friend on the inside, who risks his life to save Mario's. Definitely an interesting storyline, and not like most Mario movies where he just mindlessly fights enemies. The music went fairly well with this. The animation wasn't really that impressive in this, pretty average for a sprite film. It's the storyline that really makes the difference.

This was certainly interesting. It was unique how you added your own sounds using just what comes out of your mouth. Sounded pretty good, though some more accurate sound effects would have been nice. There really wasn't much of a storyline, but it certainly was entertaining with the way you did the animations and drew the characters. Nice facial expressions especially.

This needs a lot of work. The thing that annoyed me most was the audio. You tried to make the sound effects from your own mouth, but you could have gotten them from an outside website, such as Flashkit, and it would have sounded much better. The voice overs were also pretty annoying, as you put an effect on them to make them very high pitched at hard to hear. The graphics weren't much better sadly. Lots of tweens and simple images that just didn't cut it.

[Slurpee at Work]

(title in work)

Don't have much experience with the CC forums today, but I can gather that slurpee is some sort of moody and unforgiving overlord, which I think you expressed quite well in this movie. He sat on his thrown with a grim look on his face the whole time and took extreme measures all the time! Sounds like a swell fellow!

BlueKoalaClock responds:

Indeed.

The animation was decent. Relatively smooth, and detailed nicely, especially the facial expressions, which worked quite well. The sound was good, but it seemed to be synced just a little bit late compared with the animations. This could have used some coloring, and perhaps a background to make it more visually pleasing.
