[Scars Will Never Heal]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Haha, that was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. The opening scene was pretty hilarious. No idea what that little possum was talking about, but it made me laugh. Excellent characters and acting. Really liked the rabbit as well. His singing, though inaudible was pretty funny, and him trying to do situps was about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

^^Needs Improving^^
Animations could use a bit of work. They seem mostly to be the whole bodies and not seperate parts, which would look more realistic.

[MakeLuv]

^^Good Points^^
Hmm...not sure whether I like this or not. The music was good, and it was kind of humorous to watch this. A bit strange with the facial expressions and such, but it kept me interested.

^^Needs Improving^^
First, preloader doesn't work...or at least I think. After the movie fully loads, then it goes to that loader with your face on it, which is kind of scary looking. After the music starts, I think you could have been a little less repetitive to make it more interesting. Lots of time before the lyrics start...I'm sure a lot of people didn't even watch that long.

FIE responds:

Yeah, I really should have cropped the song. Cut out parts or something. It didn't occur to me at the time.

[Toad's Cookies]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was a decent movie here. I thought parts of it were funny, like the camera work when Toad was thinking about standing on a platform and getting the cookies. Some good sprite usage too, and good sound effects.

^^Needs Improving^^
A bit repetitive to me. I got really tired of seeing "A few minutes later" every few seconds. Not really an interesting idea...getting cookies off of a shelf, but I guess you did a fair job with this.

[Poor old man]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
The ending was pretty funny. Have to say I was bored to tears before the ending. Graphics were pretty clean as well, good animations and detail in the drawings.

^^Needs Improving^^
Eh, bored to tears while he was getting his head munched on. That was really boring. No idea why you made that part so long either. Would have been just fine if it were shorter.

[Chaos Theory trailer]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
I guess it could be a decent series. The graphics were fair, I suppose. Sound effects and music were well placed too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Really nothing here. A guy gets abducted or disintegrated by these three green circles. It's not really interesting since that's all that happens, and the effects didn't make it seem exciting or anything. Needs something more to make people want to see the full movie.

[Three Short Animations]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
This was a pretty impressive set of animations you made. I think some of them would stand fine as standalone movies if you made them longer or just finished them. Pretty entertaining set of animations here.

^^Needs Improving^^
As I said, I think at least the first one could stand alone. You should maybe finish it, add some color and resubmit it as a full movie.

[Hairdos]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Interesting movie. The animations were kind of cool, and it was interesting to watch him go from hairstyle to hairstyle. I thought this being set in a barber shop at the end, was pretty clever.

^^Needs Improving^^
Thought it could use some music or something while the hairdos are going by. Being silent just didn't feel right.

[Italian Assignment]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Interesting. I think the graphics were pretty fair. It's a good thing you put subtitles in too, cause I don't know a word of Italian. This got interesting once Mario and Yoshi showed up, that was kind of neat.

^^Needs Improving^^
The audio could definitely use some tweaking. The young kid's voice was really loud compared to all the others, which seemed to vary throughout the movie. Just annoying having to adjust speakers all the time.

[Sajatus/Curse]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Ok, I thought the graphics were kind of neat. The sketchy style is kind of unique. Music was cool as well. Definitely like how you lead into that.

^^Needs Improving^^
I guess you could use some backgrounds or something besides simply the characters that are focused on. Also, some more animation would be nice. This was mostly just the same picture zoomed in on and tweened.
