"Funny, but a little long"

submission: Cat Vader

date: December 19, 2009

It was amusing, I found the the Cat Vader purr especially funny. The animation and art were good enough to carry the humor.
What really drags down the movie is the length. When you have so many short clips, they just tend to blur together. It would have been better to go with a few less clips. Another way around it would have been to divide the clips into smaller sets, preferably with a common theme.

Score: 10

"Bitey has backstory!!"

submission: the Last of the Dashkin

date: December 10, 2009

Poor Bitey. I've been following Bitey for some time now, it is great to see the character take a new direction. As always, great music and artwork. The narration is a new element and is beautifully done.

Score: 2

"Good concept, poor execution"

submission: Christmas Advent Calendar

date: December 8, 2009

The concept of a flash advent calendar is interesting, too bad the flash animations weren't. Half of them looked like bits of some other unfinished flash project. The other half were poorly drawn and only a few had anything to do with Christmas at all. It is sad to see a good concept ruined by poor execution.

Score: 6

"Ok, but not great"

submission: The Animators

date: November 21, 2009

The two characters looked like they were from two different animations. One was fairly well drawn with arms, eyebrows, etc. while the other was basically a bunch of circles. The second character didn't even have arms, just circles.
The sound was fine, except at a few point I had trouble understanding the friend's speech.
The story was fine, not super interesting, but not overly tedious either.

Score: 10

"Very impressive"

submission: Gretel and Hansel

date: October 22, 2009

The watercolor style makes for a nice experience. Good puzzles as well, I'm looking forward to the next chapter. One glitch I did find is that when the cart race starts, I tried killing Gretel immediately, but the game just kept running without her. A small glitch in an otherwise impressive game.

Score: 7

"Very pleasant"

submission: Colour My World

date: October 19, 2009

Gameplay is simple and not terribly original in itself. What makes up for it is the artistic style. The music, b&w drawing with splashes of color, and the storyline that all work together to make a beautiful experience. I'm glad you didn't try to make the game longer, because it might have become monotonous.
I liked the splashes of color, but was dissapointed that they were not integral to the game, it didn't seem to matter either way. Perhaps vines might have grown which could then be climbed to reach a ledge. I have some other ideas that I'd be happy to share with you if you perhaps intend to create a sequel.
Overall, a nice game that is peaceful and enjoyable.

Score: 5

"Some humor"

submission: The Disney Collab

date: October 4, 2009

Some were a little funny. The only one I liked was the Fantasia clip. I think it would have been a little better to show how much greater it is on DVD, now that there is a chapter skip button. Otherwise, the graphics varied from good to mediocre, depending on artist.

Score: 7

"Nicely done"

submission: The Bible

date: September 4, 2009

I like the concept and I think most of it worked pretty well. It was almost like a movie trailer for the entire Bible. Some of the scenes didn't work as well. In particular I think the whipping scene looked almost like it was in fast forward, perhaps a single strike of the whip in slow motion might have fit the rest of the animation a little better? Keep working on your drawing and animation skills, I'd like to see more.
By the way, the nails would have gone through the wrists, not the hands themselves (the wrists were considered part of the hands in that culture).

Score: 9

"Nice remake"

submission: DARE

date: August 15, 2009

I like your work. You did a good job of reinterpreting the basic story that squeakytoad created in the original. Rather than copying the exact story, you made changes and used a very different style of animation. Good work.
On the constructive side, one thing I did notice is that the characters were off-model a few times. If you could be more consistent with facial features and design, that would make it a pretty nearly perfect.

Score: 0

"I really don't find this entertaining"

submission: Tribute 2 Michael Jackson

date: June 27, 2009

All the YouTube arguments aside, it really isn't entertaining to watch. I couldn't find the will to sit through the whole thing. It doesn't look like you even had much of a plan when you started the video. You just did whatever came to mind and grabbed props along the way. If you have any hope of overcoming the whole "this doesn't belong here" sentiment (let's be honest, there are a lot of people who feel that way), you need to come up with something a lot better than a low-energy, mediocre dance routine, the internet is full of those.
