Cool!
Wow that was actually pretty cool. Also it was something pretty inventive! I don't think anyone else has done anything like that before. The whole thing was actually well directed, and even though it was only stick figures, how you achieved everything was brilliant!
Keep up the good work, and I'll be interested to see if you put out anything else done in black sand style =)
auesome I'll try and make somthing eles soon.
THANKS
Ahahahaaa!!!!
That was great!!! You have some real artistic talent!
When you said you were new to flash I thought that this was going to be some kind of crappy stick thing like so many new to flash people make. Suffice to say I was very happily WRONG in my assumptions. Anyways this was great! The art was supurb, the joke well paced and the punchline well delivered. The sound was good quality, but the sound level was a little low.
Ok, tweening, you don't need to worry about tweening. With your skill you should definantly stick to frame by frame. I think that FBF is a much better way to animate. Tweened animations tend to have a really flat and 2d appearance. Frame by frame is much more labour intensive, but the results are all the more better......... But I suppose it depends on what you're animating though. But for this flash FBF was the right choice.
Please release more flashes, this was brilliant and inspired me to put more effort into my flashes. Thank you!! =)
Whoa O.O .. i was never expecting a comment like this from someone on Newgrounds XD lol (no offense) ...and well.. im somewhat new to flash lol ^^; .. i had a few others that i did but they were practice and are really horrible X_X bleh..so yeah.. im still kindof new to it..haven't figured out everything XD
and most of the awesome flash animations are done using tweening X_X ... mine cant compare if i stick with frame by frame XD lol ..and thankyou so very much for the comment *hugs* ... and your welcome.. i think o.o X3 lol
Not to bad.
I liked this flash. Though I was a bit disappointed at first, because from the title I was expecting this to be a Slayer music video, as in a music video to a Slayer song. =P I personally don't like linkin park as well. So expecting Slayer, getting Linkin Park, I felt gipped from the get go.
BUT I kept with it and watch it all the way through. I liked it, it was well done. Although I would of rathered real characters fighting instead of sticks, you pulled off the stick fighting sequences good.
All in all I really enjoyed this and am wondering if you're going to be making more flash movies to expand upon this storyline or whether this was simply a one off thing?
Anyways, keep at it, and I look forward to your future releases.
Cool cool.
Ahahahaa. That was pretty good. Some of the FBF animation needs a little work, like sometimes parts of characters weren't coloured in some frames. Also I think you could of delivered the punchline abit better. Like he says about the glue then rambles on a bit more. He should of said about the glue at the very end.
But still, I laughed my ass off, this was really cool, great work!!
Hey, Thanks for your support man, This was only a short however and we plan to make a full episode with the drawing style used in the end of the flash. Expect more great things.

Cool!
Damn I was just getting really into that when it ended!! =P So please please make sure you finish this project!!
Ok, my review:
I thought the art was very very good. On the animation side of things you're also doing very well. But in a few places it could of done with some extra frames as sometimes things went by to fast for you to really take in. The concept of your idea is cool. Its kind of an age old plot, but your take on it is looking really good. We all have demons inside that we have to wrestle with. Also I liked the music. Who was it by the way? I thought it might be Nightwish, but not 100% sure on that.
Anyways great job so far, can't wait to see the whole thing.
Awesomenesss!!
Wow this was, just like the first one, brilliant!!
You art, director skills and animation techniques are bloody impressive. Please keep making more of these, they rock! Oh, and I also liked how the characters didn't actually talk but made animal sounds, that was a cool touch.
There was only one thing I didn't like about this, and that was the gorilla/big foot's sword. It had this massive scabbard, and I kept thinking "man I can't wait to see him whip the sucker out, damn thing's HUGE!". But when he did whip it out it was pretty wimpy. Well it was still a big sword, but compared to the scabbard it came out of it looked a little less than impressive.
Keep producing excellent flash my friend! =)
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.
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.
whoa, that rocked!!!
to the author: damn, this was the best! The artwork in this was top notch and the animation of the characters was just great! Your direction was perfect as well, the camera angles you showed conveyed the drama of the situation. You tied the suspense with the music and the general atmosphere of the movie showed the melancoly of the knights and the fury of the black knight. All in all, this was masterful! Keep it up, this was just perfect.
to darkadvenger: what are you. a freaking idiot?! This is a cartoon man, not a fucking historical re-enactment. How can you watch and enjoy anything if you bitch about it not being factual? THESE ARE FUCKING CARTOONS! They are expressions of imagination, not bloody realism.
cool
hey I liked that. At first I thought the art wasn't going to be all that good, but that opinion certainly changed quickly! =)
I liked this, the camera direction was great! Good angles on guys firing guns, very realistic as well. Like the guys reloading and what-not. The sounds of the bullets whizzing buy people also was very well done.
my only problems with this movie were that it was waaay to short and the the sound had a big of a crackle to it. The sound wasn't so bad, but the crackle was really noticable through out the plane scene.
anyways great work! I can't wait to see more parts to this.
I have no message.
