"That Totally Blew Me Away"

submission: Golgotha Trailer

date: November 21, 2005

I'm in awe. Th-that's all I can say. I gave this video a 5/5. I don't give many 5's, mind you - I only reserve them for movies that completely blow me out of my seat (figuratively speaking.)
*****************
>GRAPHICS got a 10 because it was some of the best art and animation skill I've seen in a flash video.
>STYLE got a 10 because it was stylish, and it WASN'T animé. I like animé, but it's becoming too prevalent in American animation.
>SOUND got a 9 because it could have been just a tad better, but it's understandable since it's probably like that to cut down on file-size.
>VIOLENCE got a 0 because there really wasn't any violence in it, which is nice. I don't rate high for violence.
>INTERACTIVITY got a 3 - 1 point for the play button, and 2 for the replay button. Only games and movies with interactive secrets get more than that from me.
>HUMOR got a 0 because it wasn't funny.
>OVERALL, I give it a 10/10 because this movie totally rocks my socks.

Score: 8

"...Woah, Twisted. And Nasty. And... NASTY."

submission: Spoilsbury Toast Boy -2

date: November 20, 2005

Okay - seriously - you could have left out the whole anal thing. Other than that, pretty twisted and a little funny, actually. It was actually kind of enthralling for a moment until it came to the... uh, anal part, and then it fell apart and just went from twisted to down-right nasty. It was extremely well-done, but the content was just... ugh, I'll have nightmares tonight. Honestly, how do people come up with these things!?
Minus one from the Overall score for the anal thing.

Score: 9

"Wow, I'm Glad You're Going to Build Off of This!"

submission: The SRMS Movie Preview

date: November 20, 2005

That was really good! That first part with all the flower-petals flying around actually sent shivers down my spine, for some reason. I really liked this, and I look forward to the actual movie it's previewing!
While the animé style is a tad cliché, it was very well done, and it fit the music almost perfectly. Good work!

Score: 8

"Cute"

submission: Helium Induces Insanity

date: November 20, 2005

Cute. You did the voice-acting really well. I'm an FMA fan, so don't get me wrong when I say... uh, why the heck is Ed there? Psh, Al's way cooler.
Anyway, short, sweet, and funny. Good work!

Score: 7

"Pretty Good, but Horribly Slow"

submission: Noodles The Ninja Dog - 1

date: November 20, 2005

The animation and art style was pretty clean, but the voices didn't seem to have any feeling, and the story progression was extremely slow. Though I really didn't find it all that funny, it was otherwise a fairly good video.
My advice for the next one, should you make another one: Try speeding things up a bit, and making the voices a bit more realistic by applying a little more feeling, as well as making sure the voice actors know what they're talking about (people read better when they understand the context,) and also reducing the time between voice clips. Most conversations don't have two-second-or-longer pauses in them.
I look forward to the next one! You've got talent, I'll give you that!

Score: 9

"Haha, Pretty Good!"

submission: Tribute To My Dad 2

date: November 18, 2005

That was a pretty cool video! I *WAS NOT* expecting the transformer thing. I got a good laugh out of it! Nice, fluid animation, and clean artwork. Good work!

P.S.: By the way, manchild1, don't hurt anybody with that juvenile angst of yours.

Score: 9

"Brought A Tear To My Eye"

That was beautiful, man. The animation and drawing wasn't amazing, but I really enjoyed this video. Good job!

Score: 7

"First Time? Wow!"

submission: Re:Tears for every mement

date: November 16, 2005

This is really not bad for your first video! There seemed to be a lot of things you wanted to do that you didn't quite know how to, but it's great that you have the creative spark to think it up. As you practice and look at examples, you'll get a lot better. I like how you tried to do a 3D perspective shift with the buildings - it didn't look all that hot, but the fact that you were trying to do it means that you've got a bit of creative skill. Like I said, with practice and a little more applied effort, you'll be making great videos in no-time!
There were no problems with your story, by the way - it went through stages of sadness, surrealism, and happiness, which not many videos do nowadays - especially not first attempts. Great work, and keep it up. The more you do it, the better you'll get!

Score: 8

"Not Bad - Seemed Inspired by Bitey of Brackenwood"

submission: Zyn:1

date: November 14, 2005

You did pretty well on this - the frame-by-frame animation is very nice. It seems pretty obvious (at least to me) that this video was inspired by "Bitey of Brackenwood" by Adam Phillips - which is okay, since "Bitey of Brackenwood" was a pretty darn good movie, and this one isn't half bad either! Of course, if you've never seen "Bitey of Brackenwood", then my theory is completely shot to pieces!
Either way, this is a great video, and I look forward to the continuation!

Score: 10

"Oh man, so funny!"

submission: A Midnight Snack

date: November 13, 2005

The runaway toaster was just... classic! I loved it! Great job on all the visuals, by the way - the movie had a very fluid animation style that is pretty rare. Wonderful work!
