"pretty good. but"

submission: SAW Fear

date: April 8, 2008

pretty good but, it seemed...well.. not so much 'incomplete' more like, we were seeing but a scene of a larger movie, much was unexplained and there was no context to the scene.

That is not a bad thing in and of itself, though..it would make a nice opening scene for a movie, where the rest of the movie perhaps could flashback and tell us something about the character and how he got to that fatal point...

good job...

Score: 4

"Very good artwork, but lame layout and progress"

submission: Fear II - SAW

date: April 8, 2008

the artwork was good, but the execution and presentation was, Word Of The Day Boys and Girls!, VAPID

There were a bunch of artistic incongruities in the video as well...
the boy with the crayon (yet seemed to be like.. 14, 15?? what was he, some kinda retard?)

The lame retelling of the Saw plotline.... HOW ABOUT NARROWING the story a little bit... maybe focus on the "Life that flashes before your eyes as you are about to die" bit...

...or maybe try some different camera angles?
zoom in on his face, his ear perhaps then cut away to the inside of his inner ear/skull

how about some CONFLICT?

SInce the SAW protagonist delights in putting people in situations and watching them struggle for their lives with difficult choices (do I gnaw off my own hand to free myself from the bomb - do I choose between losing a leg or an arm..)

how about the victim have their whole life flash before their eyes then saying "F*U**CK YOU - I wont play your game - I will not perform for your amusement" and perhaps winning as a result?

I just think that laying out some frames sequenced with some barely legible text is just not gonna cut it..

"artwork has a nice visual style..."

submission: Toxic Man

date: April 5, 2008

artwork has a nice visual style...unfortunately, there was only one frame. really. no plot, no sense in the initial scene either.

All in all, you spent too much time on this, however its not so much the flash you created, but the skills you gained that are important. Although this particular flash is shit, you are not, and will go on to produce brilliant work in the future.

Score: 10

"wow+"

submission: No More Stick Fights

date: April 3, 2008

existentialist Stickmen vs the Matrix mythology and more!

totally transcends the 'stickman' genre and is definately the best ever, operating on an intellectual and cerebral level, as well as pure excellence in stick fighting animation!

while I am disappointed that the author, as he says, wont make any more, I eagerly await his next artistic endeavors.

very minor disappointments: a couple spelling mistakes.
otherwise 10, 10, 10!

good job-added to favorites :)

Score: 2
