[Since You Been Gone]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
I was hoping this was the Weird Al song when I clicked on it. Great choice! I have to say that the artwork was pretty impressive. You did a good job of animating facial expressions during this, and had a good sense of making realistic animations.

^^Needs Improving^^
I think you could have done a little more in the animation, however. You basically just animated lip syncing and exactly what happened in the lyrics. Needed something more to it to make it more interesting.

real-faker responds:

Hahaha! I know what you mean. I titled it "Since you been gone", and hoped that people woudln't think "Oh hell no, I don't want to hear Kelly Clarkson." and avoid it. XD

Yeah... I personally think I could've done alot more with the animation in terms of actual movement. I focused mostly on the lip syncing (though it is off at times still), and I wanted to make the character more moveable as a whole... but I somehow failed to do so. Seriously, there's only about 2 or 3 key poses that he has throughout the whole animation. Which is a bit upsetting to me, because I kinda wanted to make something with alot of good movement going on in it... as opposed to alot of the animation you see nowadays where there is very little movement...
Know what I'm getting at? Or am I not making sense...?
Anyway, thank you SOOOO much for the review. You made some very good suggestions and I'll take them into consideration, for sure!

[-This is Halloween-]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
First off, congrats on being front-paged on this. I'm really surprised it doesn't have a score over 4.00. The animation was tip-top. You definitely know your stuff when it comes to animating people. I was pleasantly surprised to see Marilyn Manson's remake of this song in here, as it is a great one, and I was hoping to see it this Halloween. The animations all went with the music, and I like the option to turn off the subtitles as well. Great job on this one.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm not sure what it was, but the sound quality in the music didn't sound too hot. Maybe it was just my computer :s

VintageBro responds:

haha wow thank you very much, ya the sound the voices I did for myself is cuzz I have a reallly bad mic, so its not you.

[Clayland - Music Box]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
For a clay movie it was pretty good. The graphics were very nice. Realistic shaping of the people and realistic animations. A good series that is not a complete ripoff of Knox, which is something NG seldom sees. Not a bad storyline and overall an above average clay movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
I felt the voice acting could be a little better. Didn't really grab my attention with that aspect of this movie.

[Take On Me ; Clock Crew]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A good music video for clock day. The animations and graphics were quite simple, but they were still did a good job of showing your message to the people of NG. Definitely a good effort.

^^Needs Improving^^
I would still like to see it have some more relevance to the actual song and the original music video. That is what I thought when I first saw this.

[The ultimate turn off]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
I like your style of humor and animation. You go and create a very evident mood of a movie, then suddenly change it to something completely different. Very interesting style and quite entertaining for a short movie. Really good job on the alien graphic.

^^Needs Improving^^
That chick's arm looked really odd. That is about all. Everything else looked really nice. Perhaps you could have done a background or something.

MarkArandjus responds:

You know I agree with pretty much everythign you said ^^
Thanks for reviewing!

[Field of honor]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A funny little short. It started out with a very serious tone to it, as if it were a real samurai fight. The graphics were very good, smooth animations. You added a good sense of humor to this, I liked it.

^^Needs Improving^^
The ending didn't really satisfy. Definitely needs a little bit more to it and some kind of ending that will wrap it up better.

MarkArandjus responds:

Sorry about the ending, I understand it didn't satisfy, but it's what the flash is all about.

Thank you very much for your review!

[SpongeClock watersa plant]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A very good movie you have here. The preloader was amazing, and had quite a bit of entertainment right there. I was wondering why Sponge was watering a shoe, the ending was pretty funny to this.

^^Needs Improving^^
We need more sponge clock, this was pure genius!

[Tetris Unleashed 3]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
A very good addition to this series. The graphical effects were very nicely done, and it's obvious that you have improved a lot in your Flash skills. It was a very creative movie with an interesting storyline.

^^Needs Improving^^
Kind of repetitive if you ask me. Just a little boring at some points.

Jimtopia responds:

I'll keep that in mind, thx.

[Kill Bahamut! 03]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Another pretty good episode in this series. Again, I liked the old style of it, definitely more fun to watch than your new style. I thought Bahamut's death was pretty funny...death by Wade's camera. Interesting.

^^Needs Improving^^
Wade's voice was kind of low, it seems. You should continue this series for some new movies.

kinggila responds:

I have been thinking about reviving this series. As I said, maybe I'll make another flash with this sort of style sometime and perhaps I could make the whole series using the old messy style of mine. :)

[Kill Bahamut! 02]

(title in work)

^^Good Points^^
Ahh, the old style of Bahamut movies, definitely a style that I think is better than your new ones. The Speakonia sounded pretty funny, and having Bahamut fight Hitler is just a great combination. Loved the death scene too...looks like he got poked in the eye or something.

^^Needs Improving^^
Needs to be more movies like this. It's just got that old charm to it.

kinggila responds:

This old style of mine was good, but unfortunately, we all have to move on with things and I had to improve my flash skills for better animation and better character models. Still, my old style was cool. Maybe I'll make another flash with this sort of style sometime. :)
