[Bound on Earth]

great animation

i don't get it since i've never played earthbound but the animation was top notch. how did you do the backgrounds? did you do them in photoshop? nice work.

[Life Jackets]

ok...............

not really a fan of mindless violence (not anymore, anyway) but it was alright. when the message to wear life jackets showed up, i thought you were going to show all the scenes again with the guys wearing the jackets and they somehow survive their ordeal in a ridiculous way.

if you're still looking for an audio editing program, google Audacity. it's free and pretty solid.

LifeJackets responds:

Thanks

[A Gift to the Face]

great short

that was a good one even though i knew what was coming. i thought "hmmm, that gift maker looks a lot like a cannon. i wonder if he's gonna -- yep. there it is."

StickDinosaur responds:

Haha it's funnier when you say it

[Left 4 Bed]

lol

rape is only funny when it's over the top.

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

"Over the top"?

[School Project]

good

you had some nice animation going on in a few places. most notably the mouse and red scarf.

foolishcharacter responds:

Thanks, I like what I did there too, but even then the mouse just kinda 'disappears' of the screen. I barely made the deadline with this, and I didn't have a lot of time to begin with. Now that I can do this on my freetime, I hope to create some more intricate presonal driven projects.

[The white box short]

you had something goin

shame you didn't keep goin. it looked like you were going to get into a "animator vs. animation" type deal which is always interesting because you can get really creative with how your figures interact with the environment. not too bad for a first submission. at least i could tell this had some thought and effort put into it unlike some others i've seen.

tips:

-instead of using a song, sound effects would've been much better since you animated explosions.

-text color should've been darker. blue and green are close in value so it was a little hard to read

-use easing for your tweens. it would help create a sense of gravity when objects drop like when your character was dropping his weapons.

christolilov responds:

Thanks for your review, I appreciate it.
Truth is I didnt make it longer and with sound effects because I got lazy...
Just wanted to know if someone likes the idea and my animation style.
Since its obviously still here and even got a relatively good score for a 50 second crappy flash Ill make a second version of it.Longer and with effects...

[Half Beard]

pretty funny

kept me entertained. and you know that reverse goatee ain't such a bad idea.

Bobert-Rob responds:

It really isn't too bad of one, but it's much more normal than half beard. With Reverse goatee, you could say it's just a neck beard or something, but half beard... well, there's no escaping the oddness of that style, heh. I love it. Glad you like it!

[Spaced Out! (Pilot)]

ahah. i am now a robo bob fan.

lol awesome work. i think robo bob was great. please work on the next episode.

grim-studios responds:

Already am. :)
