"Oh gosh!"

submission: Stick Antics

date: May 30, 2006

That was brilliant!
The graphics were overly simple (not bad though), but you are using sticks.

The style was mind-numbing. The way the stick moved, the stick's physics - amazing. Very smooth, very fucking smooth indeed.
Sound: Coral. 'Nough said.

No violence, so the 0 is self-explanatory.

Interactivity. You get full marks here. Not only a snazzy preloader, but a replay button AND links to various sites. Nice.

Humour: 7. This was an enjoyable romp. A simple idea superbly carried out. It made me giggle inwardly and raised a smile to my face.

Overall: 8. If you want a pleasant way to spend half-a-minute, watch this! Graphics whores: shit off. This is purely for those who appreciate fun and good animation.

The simplist ideas are the best, eh :D

Score: 9

"Cool."

submission: "Art-class Project"

date: May 30, 2006

I think that the style of this whole piece was, for the most part, brilliant. Towards the end, you seemed to lose whatever inspiration you had (the goomba-like ninja didn't fit in with the theme at all really).
Graphics-wise, very nice. The use of colours was supervb throughout, nice use of gradiants and other such devices. I gave you an 8 for graphics because I'm sure you could do better, they were overly simplistic in times (but still very good).
The style was great (as mentioned earlier) but lessened towards the end (also mentioned earlier).
I think the song fitted the piece perfectly. Indeed, I'm glad that you had the song stand-alone with the animation - sound effects would have ruined it.
Interactivity: 10. You had a play button and a replay button. What else would I need?
You told us that there wasn't to be any humour found here, and you were right.

Overall, 9. This is a solid animation incorporating a lot of ideas (probably due to it being made over such a long time) but some parts felt rushed. Also, you used the flash 8 fileter s a bit too much - I know they're fun, but try not to use them so much - they made it lag a bit.

Well done, this is going in my favourites.

Score: 10

"11mb of pure awesome."

submission: Anime Collab

date: May 23, 2006

8 Months for this 6 minutes of...mind-blowing animation. The thing I really love about this collab is how there are so many amazingly talented artists passing on their experience to lesser known/less accomplished ones - You guys are helping create the next generation of badass animators!

I can't select a favourite part, it was all brilliant.

'Tis a pleasure to be on the team (because I can sit in everyone elses' glory for the moment ^^).

Could be worse ^^

Yet again, a tremendous well done to all artists who participated. 'Twas excellent.

It seemed I had good reason to be enthusiastic :)

if the graphics were amazing, i would've voted around a 3. good graphics will definately improve your chances in the portal - despite the few glitches.

Nice try, keep at it.

"Good Grief."

submission: In the end - Linkin Park

date: May 21, 2006

If only the man/woman who invented the webcam could see what they've done....well, son, they'd break down and cry.

Lininkin Park aren't cool, nor are you for doing this. Seriously...why would you do that? It's making me cringe just thinking about it.

On the other hand, at least you had the balls to make a complete arse of yourself (that being addressed to whoever "acted" and "danced").

I'm not against videos being on NG, but I am against crap being on NG.

Apologies for the upcoming blam.

Score: 5

"ALERT ALERT"

submission: Destroy All Humans Ep.1

date: May 11, 2006

nice start, but really your just whoring off the idea by putting it into "episodes" which are barely 2 minutes in length. nice art, granted, but there was quite a bad lag problem during part of it. the dialogue was uninspired, no humour whatsoever and basically boring to watch.

try harder with the next episode, please.

Score: 6

"interesting"

submission: The People's Mario

date: April 27, 2006

average graphics and some very nice animation in places with music which suited the theme surprisingly well.

However, other than making mario have a hammer, there were no references to communism at all whatsoever. You state the rumour -that Mario was, in fact, communist propaganda, but this isn't explored in the animation - it's just a decidedly average fight under the guise of "communism", which it has nothing to do with.

Very good for a third flash, but choose your theme a bit more carefully next time :)

Score: 9

"i say..."

submission: -Go Away-

date: April 12, 2006

You're a very good singer dustball!

Anyways, the graphics were very good - nice representations of each of the "stars".
The style was just as good as the graphics, I liked the way you presented the song.
Sound: 10. 'Nough said.
No violence at all really (which isn't a bad thing).
Full marks for interactivity - this is a film and it had a play button, replay button and timeline.
It was funny in the sense that it made me smile, not laugh-out-loud hillarious though.

The only problem for me was how static the characters were - it's clear you can animate movement well (you did so in some parts of the film) but for me, there just wasn't enough.

Of course, that doesn't affect the fact that this is a brilliant film. Very well done! I can't wait for your next musical outing!

5/5 and 9/10

Score: 10

"well done guys ^^"

submission: The Widow Collab

date: April 7, 2006

depite the presentational flaws (which weren't that big-a-deal) i think it was excellent. ok, i am slightly biased, but hey. the colour sceme was consistent throughout, buti think i noticed some green in there somewhere...and the presentation would have been awesome (it would seem) had it not been so rushed - the idea you were going with was clear to me.

anyways, it was a fun project and i hope this isn't the last time we work together.

i think it's a 5 :O

Score: 9

"haha"

submission: SW: SCA:J.E.T -Trailer

date: January 29, 2006

"the charismatic count dooku" that made me chuckle ^o^

very nice! i liked the character designs and the made windu voice actor did well - however, the anakin one was quite poor...he sounded too timid (but he did helluva lot better than that ponce who played anakin in the films!) and quiet. Nice to see someone using exar kun (pronounced Eggs-are-koon) in their flash.

Overall, very good! A nice trailer and i can't wait for the series. Well done.

5/5
