[False Prophet: Teaser]

nice lookin' trailer..

ya' you present a nice background music atmosphere... the drawings remind me fondly of anime animations... which is good stuff! i liked the intro. where a glimpse of what can be described as somewhat a mythological creature, and how it relates to the revelation stuff you mentioned in your comments... thoughtful stuff there, ya' you got an idea happenin' here, very appealing trailer indeed... can't wait until the proper series installments, good job - nice work indeed

Red-Aardvark responds:

Thanks for the comment, man
I tried to be as original as possible with the storyline (different cultures' concept of devils and angels) so a lot of old celtic, greek and english mythos was thrown in.

[Devil's Night (Trailer)]

NICE 'soundage'...

nice dramatisation wid' the music you have happenin' in the sequence of scenes featured in the introduction... provided atmosphere, and a sense of anticipation & provoked deep curiosity... which i guess is what a trailer is supposed to do to the viewing audience - well done heh.. i loved the musical transition with the orchestra instruments to that vividly reapetative 'dark' beat... it's quite remarkable & exceptional... can't wait for the proper final product, i didn't really get to see your animation skills in this but i'm sure they're up to scratch - good work mann

Freetospeak responds:

Wow! Thanks!

[The Assassin Part 1]

great first attempt!

hehe great first attempt.. i agree with the previous reviewer, the blob humanoids are a cool-looking and appealing transition from the regular sticks... stick to that style mann! awesome style... great music atmosphere you presented in the intro and during the whole duration of this flash movie creation.. made it very melo-dramatic, providing the viewing audience with much waited anticipation hehe... the voices were funny haha... but you might want to sync them more with the graphics.. the drawings were kewl lookin'... nice slow motion slicing... although it lacked detail, the slow motion effect added a 'goreness' to it.. sniper scene was great... you got a great storyline happenin' here
Can't wait to see the next series installment, nice nice work mann

SundanceProductions responds:

Hey thanks for the good review...I can see some of the reviews are mixed but you give me more motivation to continue this. I'm starting work on the part II tomorrow, expect some improvement...I'm gonna read up on how to use my flash features and the movie is going to be longer....but n e ways..thanks!

[DragonSpawn Trailer]

pretty good trailer..

nice selective background audio track... brought a sense of anticipation and looked appealing.... looked like some form of vampire ? i liked the brief successions of the text telling the storyline... made it 'fast' paced.. the pre-loader is pretty darn stylish too, good job on that... it was pretty repeatative but i know it's only supposed to be a preview...maybe if the animation of him running with his arms was faster ? it would suit the upbeat movie pace.. and the shadow work is nice, characters are drawn okay... but the last scene with his wings... might wanna add like a cool looking background behind it, preferably darker.. well that's what i think, but good overall! nice work

dslmodem responds:

I originally had a dark looking castle in the background at the end, but then you couldn't see his wings, so I made it light, and it looked crappy, so I just cleared it and made it straight white. I'll work in it later. thanks for taking the time to review though, you input is much appreciated.

[Ryan VS Sticks 2]

fresh, different concept & style - nice

nice sync-ing with the hits on the sticks and the sound effects were critically well timed too! i fine it hard to believe that you didn't even get hit once by the stick ;-p hehe... cool series you got going, fresh concept and flamboiant style! looking forward to the 3rd installment... good job man

Ryan-Wolven responds:

oh you didnt see the outtakes. i was hit adleast eight times in the face, and i have a bruise on my knee.

[Sega Speedway]

great sfx !

hehe i enjoyed the twist at the end.. sonic wins way too much! but the glowing visuals on sonic looked pretty cool mann - just like DBZ haha ? the sprites were animated heaps good! good job on that... the graphics were pretty smooth for sprite work also... NICE sound effects, and the background music played through the duration of the race was electrifying and brought a sense of anticipation of what was going to happen next, and was pretty entertaining! great free-flowing animation also, no glitches which is nice to see. Well done, good job

Nick-Gates responds:

Best Review Yet! Thx!

[Spider Is A Pervert]

funny stuff haha - good length too!

heh... get grasshopper his own show !!!1 he's awesome lol'z.. great visuals with the picture of the television audience, and that cat when he had tears.. that looked nicely done! i like the storyline... haha grashopper is funny - how he was tellin' spidey about his kids getting eaten by mommy grasshopper.. nice movement editing with spidey and grasshopper.. the voices were pretty cool too heh, nice length on the flash. The animation was smooth overall too, good stuff on that and the commedy material you presented was funny as.. haha the part where that guy called him a pervert and stuff, the last caller seemed like a bit of a psycho.. i got a question though, what was the significance of that gorilla portrait frame ? haha it was just peculiar... neway nice flash, great job

Mek1985 responds:

Actually dude Tom is a Praying Mantis :-) But thats alright, he kinda looks like a Grasshopper too! The Gorilla picture was just a random picture! Check out "JUST ANOTHER AVANT DAY 1" by me to see why. Spider LOVES monkies!! Fanks pal, bye bye

[Kick of the Century 2]

AWESOME, got to admire the sound transitions..

this was a fun and humorous animation :-) ! i love the background musical transitions you implemented in.. and the edited camera shots and angles, and the use of slow motion - the graphical visuals of the gun shots, the vein throbbing in the kickers head, and the soccer ball propelling forward was great! haha mann the storyline and material is funny... i think you just added the right amount of violence, and it would of been still funny without it too heh... and the comical twist at the end; the realisation that the kicker killed the goalie ahaha that was genious ! and then followed by the night scene, was just icing on the cake... great job, nice work

Skeptical-Mind responds:

The last version had less violence...but it was not as funny

and for the robot...
It is a robot that I took from an animation I am making...
