[The Break Up Guy]

A little silver lining to the friend zone. Very nice :D.

P.S.
I don't know why, but comparing to other animations this stands out as perfect ballance... Maybe its because there was no voice acting and the viewer solely focused on the picture-story instead of trying to figure out what the characters are saying (don't worry you don't have bad voices, I have bad ears :D)

All in all good animation, made it sure its not bland and left o ut the overly "lets just get over it" moments out (big +, espacially its about break-ups, GOD people do sometimes made this things so awkard)...

I wish I had a break up gal too :D

[Clockwork Gentleman]

Astounding!

This is what a short and yet good story I would tell to aspiring scientists. "Praise your creation, because through it you will achieve greatness. Make no mistakes and do not use it for evil deeds thou, as you shall at worst PERISH, and it will be gone with you." Also pretty amazing that the robot would probably never be created if the man didn't need a body to live in. If taht was to be made a movie, I'd have the professor develop a "son-father" relationship. This piece kind of reminds me of the game Siberia part 2 (you should play it even if you're bad at those, its worth it if you liked this).

Must say that I'm not an animator or artist anywhere near this magnitude of talent, but let me tell that this is brilliant, the robot textures and details in his schematics show that not only the author knows which parts to choose and how to connect them, it also shows his at least more than basic understanding of machinery (much like Miyamoto knew a motorcycle before he decided to draw one). Ligthening effect were pleasing, simple enought and put where it should be. The only drawback I find about this is the resolution of the rendered animation. I do hope there is a copy a that with much sharper view, as much as I hope for future additions in the genre from the artist.

Perfect sound effects too, all synchronised, nothing bland or repeatable to any degree. I'd say the next step in this direction would be to *gasp* get in movie dialogs. But I hope this will not deter the artist from his main object of talent, the animation :).

Also, stampunk. Cherrio! (rises a small wine glass)

Pardon my typos.

[SegwayOfTheDead - Reviews]

If you didn't quess it by the time the movie finish, this is a parody of reviews, much like the popular "Dot dot dot", only here we get to listen to many a people/whimpers/whiners/nerdcracks.

This isn't much of an animation as its a piece of voice act complete with smart subtitle play, so the score goes for the voice act and the idea. The interpretation is quite nice, paroding all those responses must've taken much time (with all that voice modulation and some ideas requiring more voice editing). Since I'm not an expert in commenting voice act I'll just say: very clear, funny and nicely made voice acting. It fets like a kind of freestyle or portfolio flash (just a feeling, Mr DruxtheShredder has already shared his uncanny art in many submissions, such as "Skyrim: Sneaking" or "The Ownians").

The animator also did good, seeing as the subtitles were not only diverse, but also dynamically changing according to the present mood (immitated IQ level) of the parodied reviewers.

All in all, I'm sure most of you people will be glad of the collaboration Evil-Dog and DructheShredder made. Compliments for fine arts and music to SickDeathFiend and Symphony of Specters. I love you guys.

Evil-Dog responds:

Haha thanks for the nice review, it was a little distraction, Druox did great and it took me like a day to put together. Just a distraction from Road of the Dead 2

[BATMAN NOIR - Trailer]

====== ====== ====== ======
I'm not an expert, and this review is only an opinion based on little facts
=== ====== ====== ====== ===

This trailer announces the comeback of one of the most prominent man-made superhero of world. "Batman Noir" keeps to the style of last century noir: grayish world, comic-like reality. One of the nice adds to the genre are objects partially animated to give the idea of "moving pieces of the puzzle".

The characters themselves look like reshaped shadows of themselves from a reflective dimension, which not only give them new looks but probably hint at new character traits, different live experiences that most probably already have their own dossier in Gotham Arkham Assylum or Gotham Police Department. Most of all the idea of Batman itself, the one object that already been used to show every human aspect from crime fighting, through human addiction (Batman Venom), lately the force that not only fights but also attracts violence (two latest Batman films and games). Setting the black knight in a new place might gives the room to create a different man, or possibly explain some yet hidden problems with the man we already though we have cracked.
The villains seem oddly normal judging from the looks of the feline part of the cast, which could mean there has been more work put into their history and character than the overall "pump-in-power" some productions do to make their bad guys look "dangerous".

Light bloom effects, smooth blurry changes in the animatic (animation as in "slide by slide") sequences mixed with simple object animation (motion animation) are what makes me want to wait for the real thing.

I tell you, those thing will keep human imagination running wild.

Thanx for the feedback, man!

[Creepist]

Funny and short

Graphics were as in minecraft they should be, he female creeper looked real sweet, very nice voice acts.

Just the way people like. I have one problem with my English thou, does "creepist" stand for "most creepy", some creeper or someone who pisses of creepers ?

[Around the Sun]

A trip to freshness

While fishing for any new ideas on scripts and films, you might get interested in this light piece of work.

During the screening, the viewer can deduct the film presents here the flaws of the matrix organisation structure, that is, how the work and organisation in NASA is being divided (between several project teams). Although highly unprobable due to the security maintance, one can surely imagine the cumbersome and sometimes mistake prone protocols that can bring utter destruction to the whole project. In this particular film, we have a vision of one of those "giant leaps for mankind" gone awry.

The graphics of the movie aren't anything advanced, but that doesn't keep one from taking pleasure in sunking into the plot of the film. Although characters are giant, solid coloured birds, they are given accessories and elements that makes them stand out more in the whole film. The backgrounds and surroundings were made quite crude, for instance the last explosion in the film, (probably drawn mainly in flash oriented programm) but the artist does have a good of using certain animation knick-knacks (for instance the last scenes in space). Theoverall for graphics would be 6/10

The audio consisted of several clear, good voice acts as well as ambient music in the background that upped the mood. Some of the effects though were outbursted though (giving the "cracking sound" effect, like in the intro), but they were only a few. The artist shows resourcefullness in combining that many voice acts and composing them nicely. Substracting the credit's song (which were made by Oney - nice one man) the audio deserves 7.5/10 (0.5 substracted for the riddicule of some of the voices, ie.: "It's going to explooOOoode" byt the astronomer)

Overally though, the flash presents itself, and the author, as a growing talent on the script writing scene. Given enough time, we might be able to see something good, as long as he also developes/employs graphic skills. Now that this is said, please enjoy the film.

Pahgawk responds:

That was an incredibly detailed review, man. Thanks!

[Mindchamber </3]

I've never seen a flash about innocent homosexuality go to front-page: great work!
