5 Movie Reviews w/ Response

Great work with a few bugs

Awesome job! The art and animation were placed well. The Sound and effects were top notch and well placed with the scenes. The humor was definitely well put. I really enjoyed the parts with random cameos.
The only room I seen for improvement was some of the effects you used were slightly lacluster and used a few too many gradients. The fonts were used badly with the color and didn't seem to fit right with your style of drawing. The buttons were slightly off and looked like you just threw them and the fonts in last minute. Also perhaps have a quality button or have the movie start off at medium/low quality because even on my higher end machine it lagged a bit.
However, keep up the good work, I'm eager to see other work by you!

Thanks for your review... really is a good review

Sorry, but that lacked substance

I understand that it was only a trailer, but you failed to even attempt at an effective one. It looked like you took your 3d animation, taking bits and pieces of whatever. And if you really rendered everything, why is there such an inconsistency between two of the renderings (namely the clock and the head) and everything else in the animation that looks like it was thrown together? Did you just really blow the rest of this off or something? Then the flash for your movie was atrocious. There was a small line animation and buttons that had no hit boxes and there was an included scene selection that did not even work. So why did you even include it? To be honest, anyone first picking up flash could animate text like you did. The music at least seemed fitting so I'll give you a good job on that. You say your an animator, but all I see is badly rendered 3D and a shabby flash work. Try again.

Im not a professional animator. I do this for fun in my spare time. Im sure i cant meet your high standards so maybe this wasnt intended for such an audience like yourself.

Really Not Bad For a First Try

For a first movie that was pretty good. Suggestions I have is perhaps some sound effects (try flashkit.com), at the end of the movie, offer an option to play from the choose who wins screen, and try using shadows or shading in your drawings, it will give the art a more refined feeling to it. Try playing with the colors more too, if you use darker colors, more shading, it gives the movie a more moody feel to it, more similar to diablo. Lastly, the music from the endings compared to the body of the movie didn't sit quite right, perhaps use more of a similar tune or continue the music through the selection screen. Hopefully this helps.

ok thanks for tips,about the shades-i really really suck at the shades,i'm working on it though, and it's darn hard to find the right music so i put in the ones i had found and did fit the most(i searched for like 3 hours, so don't say i didn't even try)

Rocked

First of all that was some funny shit. The perfect mix of randomness and nostalgia. Some of the graphics could have used a little boosting. Perhaps some prettier buttons and a couple of the added things could be changed. As far as the sprites go, if you save them as gifs and change the settings in flash and photoshop you'll come out with some cleaner edges. Other than that, the movie was great. Also nice way to use Evergreen Terrace at the end!

The buttons were whipped up in the last minute, i was in such a hurry to get done, they didn't come off looking very pretty admittingly. The sprites are saved as gifs but were not modified after that, if you could email me at rootedfallacies@aol.com with some info on how to clean up sprites in PhotoShop it's be really, really appreciative. Thanks for the great review!

Not too bad!

It was pretty good, I just say a little more movement instead of everything so floaty back and forth. Perhaps some light sound could be added. perhaps better start button, fix the border, the white shows through. Also, credit The Rabbit Joint for the song, they're the ones who made it, not SOAD.
