[The Art of Fighting NS]

Some of the fights were just backwards.

I think you spent to much time on sasuke's fight with the sound ninja. Seriously, it was the longest fight sequence out of them all, and the sound ninja guy was a piss ant that gets beaten pretty easily. Rock Lee and Gara's fight should of gone much longer than it did, but it was ok. But Naruto's and Orchimaru's fight was waaay to short! There's no way that Naruto could beat Orchimaru, let alone beat him so quickly. His kage no jutsu just isn't that special when dealing with someone like Orchimaru. Plus, Naruto summoning Gamabunto to finish off Orchimaru was pretty lame.
I'll admit that it was pretty well directed, for a sprite movie at any rate. But I just think that the first fight taking the longest and the last fight taking the least time was a bad mistake.

Arkuni responds:

Get a stopwatch.

Sasuke VS Zaku was the shortest of them.

And Rock Lee VS Gaara was nerly 3 minutes >_<

Try next time to be more... accurate with your review.

ChrisNosal responds:

[CS: The Scrim [Preview]]

hrm......hard to review this

this isn't easy to review, as there's not a whole lot there to talk about. I can see potential in it, but there are a few things that you could try that I think may make it better. First and fore most is the characters. I don't actually know what they look like of anything, but I can tell by the fact that they have hands that don't have arms, and simple circles for hands that its going to be somekind of "madness" based character designs. Please, the madness thing has been done to death. While madness was good for what it was, the thousands upon thousands of clones it has spawned usually aren't good. I'm not saying don't use it, but is you are going to use it make sure that you put a good amount of detail into the characters. From the hands, it doesn't look like you have (but as I haven't actually seen the characters themselves I'm basing what I'm saying on what I saw). Your backgrounds looked good, really good, so I'm guessing that you do have artistic capability.

well I guess what I'm saying is try and make sure that you character detail is at the same level that your backgrounds are.

lastly, animations with a strong storyline are way better than those without one. If you develop a great storyline then your animation will be much better for it.

good luck with your movie, I'll be waiting to see the finished product!

Vood00 responds:

The movie has been planned out, the characters will have as much detail if more then the guns do. Im going to try to improve alot visually then from my first movie. I was going for a madness-oriented style of animation simply becuase I dont want to spend the time to draw all of the figures for every counterstrike model in all the positions needed for a movie. Itll be done hopefully before the end of christmas break... Thanks for the feedback.

[Emo Days.]

not to bad

yeah, that wasn't to bad. The artwork wasn't that great and there's a lot of room for improvement. But what I did really like, and was kinda surprised by, was you sense of direction! Some of the camera angles you used were great. Art is something that improves overtime, it just takes practise, but good camera direction is something thats harder to learn. So you're already a step up on a lot of people here.

keep up the good work, practise practise practise is what I always say. You've got potential and I'm hoping to see some great stuff out of you in the future =)

liquorish responds:

Hey this comment is greatly appriciated. Thanks alot, I do hope to make more flash and improve heaps, the holidays are coming up, i shall try then.

[Empire Strikes Back]

that was good.

well yeah, it was a bit short, but I did think the correography of the fighting was pretty well done.
all in all it was well done!
oh and yeah, I love you message about learning to draw before trying to produce a flash cartoon =) I feel the same way. Its like I don't get why people submit the first flash thing they ever create here. I'm not saying don't make stuff, just learn some drawing technique and how to use flash before you go submitting total crap here.

Digit86 responds:

thanks for the comment. i agree, i havnt submitted anything for almost three years because i wanted to learn how to animate. my next piece should be out shortly, take it easy.

[A Winner Is You IV]

that sucked balls

award winning my arse. Who would give that piece of crap cake an award. Seriously, that wasn't funny....

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

fuck off you anime-obsessed dogshit.

[situation 0: shade]

excellent!

wow, this was cool!
you used the perfect song to sum up the sad emotion of your movie. To me it seemed to be about sadness and giving up on life. Not sure if thats what was the theme, but thats what it was to me =)
I'm just going through and watching all the situation 0 movies now.

keep up the good work!

Trippy-Hippie responds:

lol thanks. i would submit #1 for you, but i need to improve it. im glad you liked it and want to see that others. most of my movies get thrown away after a day and are storred where noone finds them.
thanks. and you got the theme almost right on : )

[Delicious Insanity]

ahahahahaaaa!!!

damn that was funny!! I love it!
the art was very nice, strong lines and good colour. Pretty much everything about this kicked arse! A few more sounds maybe, like some screams from other insane inmates or something like that. The humour is this was just so well executed!
great work, 5/5

piccolo32 responds:

Thanks maybe I will release a directors cut with improved soundtrack. Nope to lazy for that but I promise more of a soundscap e on my next work.

[INFERNO.]

wow, that was really good!

I really liked that movie. At first I wasn't sure what it was going to be about, with all the happy people and stuff. But then when the elevator scene started I realised what the social comentary was about with all the happy people. I thought you showed the grim aspects of human existance well. One of the comments before mine said there were better ways to illustrate your point, like paradox, irony or duplicity, not disturbing images, gore and death. Well I think this guy is wrong! You portrayed these events in the way they really are, stark, brutal and disturbing. THIS IS REAL LIFE! To use any of the means they suggested to get your point across would simply be doing what you were commenting on with the start of the movie, and that is pretending everything is all warm and fuzzy, sugar coating the reality of the subject. Life is pain and death, and you've touched upon this with your movie. Great work!!

p.s. I particularly love the seen with the people "working the land". Seeing you portray the earth and tree's as blleding living things we are destroying was great imagery!

AnimusImperium responds:

Thanks!

[Bleed: Vampire Awakening]

that was cool!

your art is really cool, its nice and dark. Your main vampire dude looks great! I like his outfit, if I saw him in the street I'd kill him for it =P haha....or more like I'd die trying to kill him for it.
um, one suggestion I have is, when the music track changes I think it would of worked better to have it fade out instead of just cut straight to the second track. Other than that everything is on the level, keep up the excellent work and I hope to see more of Bleed in the future.

p.s. You only got a 6 for sound cause I don't like slipknot, but unlike the guy before me bitching about it like a bitch, I think it worked ok for this movie. More system of a down would of been nice though =P

Vermillion2 responds:

kewl, I'm happy you liked the main character, I went through a couple of versions before I decided on keeping this one.
The music fade was kinda troubling to figure out, but I'll try to work more on it on the other episodes.
i appreciate your review, thanx !
