[illwillpenis <3 Clock Day]

That was great.

That was very Epic. And Awesome. One simple flash, nice job.

[Final Fight:the Nerd Saga]

That was basically

a (gayish) parody of everything, from pokemon to MGS, to how nerdy we are... And you did a good job. I enjoyed it.

[Awesome Crossing Redux]

FUCK YOU STEVE!

Too short, but otherwise, just as good as the rest. Pretty humourus. Good job again, Egoraptor.

[Big Sword]

hmm.

Not bad at all for a firstie. But I definately think you should take a look at the NG tut page because the animation needs a bit of an update.

[|~Enemy In The Snow~|]

OMG THAT WAS SOO GOOD!!!!!!

AMAZING!!! VALENTINE DOES IT FUCKING AGAIN!!!

ok, ok. So I'm a fan. Sue me, I love your work. Wow. Simply wow! I am speechless. She's a double agent! DAMN FUCKER! YOU ARE GOOD! The simple heartbreak put in, "do it" in merely a second, and it worked, dammit, it worked, that was sad, but you conjured that feeling in a second, held it, let us feel the pain, and then squashed it. You wonder what her devotion was for, for country, for him? and if for him, why would he crush her life like an ant like that? Utterly fantastic. I, I, -- do you have an official fanclub T__T I feel like such a loser, but dammit.

Well, anywho. Liked the animation! you mixed up the backgrounds, a lot more gradients in the bg. I thought that really worked this time, it went well with the flash, and definately helped to axcentuate (sp?) the foreground (usually the girl). I also thought that it brought a more drab, more bleak bg to the movie and helped it become more warlike. Definately, man, you brought out some serious fucking pain and i should hate you for it, but instead i love you.

Vallentine...

[Tank Trailer]

Well...

You made a decent movie. You had a good idea, though the lypsyncing was off on some parts... But the one thing that bothered me was the whole words on the screen thing. You'd see a sequence of the live action with the words pasted over it, and then you'd go back to animation. That distracted from the live action, and i didn't like it. It would have been better if you took more scenes from whatever movie you used and put the words on the side with your lyrics of "this summer," and stuff.

's all, though you did a good job.

Graeme responds:

Lypsynching is REALLY hard to do, when you have no control over the audio or video.
I tired to match it up as best I can. But that's about all I can do.

I had the words come in seperately, because I wanted it to feel like a realy tailer.
Where people actually see it on TV. It shows a few clips, then it shows some vauge half sentence revealing bits of plot.
I feel if it played over scenes instead, then it loses that effect, and is even more distracting. Because than people have to go out of their way to read, listen, and watch all at once. Makes it easier on them.

But, I respect everyones opinons. And thanks for the review!

[It's Over Nine-Thousand!]

Hahaha!

Great Job!!! >9,000/10!

This flash combines everything that is good about NG. Stupid jokes about animes, References to past works of NG'ers, and a kick'n song and funny video.

Great animation by the way. Splendid job.

[So I Says]

Hahahaha!

OMFG, I love your style of animation sooo much. Korubinki, and now this??? WHO CAN SPELL FAVORITES???

ok, that aside, i completely agree with mr. way too nerdy mainstream manga/anime kid who's probably 9 under me. (Naruto, Bah!) The idea, blew me away. I was expecting something much more different... You know... Like go to jail for 20 years different... But that's what made it funny. That and the heroic music...

fin.

TheDaringBread responds:

Wow, your enthusiasm is ... inspiring. Thanks for the positive vote mate! :D

[Pico For President]

Oh god...

That preloader was the best... Preloader... I have ever seen.

Simply hilarious and I congradulate you on having teh genious to make it : D

On the other hand, the preloader may be awesome-sauce (hey for my submission, I was too scared to even mess with the preloader at all, not that i ever even submitted my submission lazy, lol) but the video needs a shitload of work. I agree with Archis in everything he said. Every little thing. even the hypocrite part, cause i've never even got a submission in, lol, I've been blammed the one time i had the nerve to put in a submission... I may be glad for that... But nowadays I'm more careful about what i submit.

Enough about me, I don't matter.

The animation needs to be cleaner, I hope your using flash 8 or CS3 at the least (I'm not, I'm still stuck in the dark ages with MX, lol) because otherwise your life mayt be somewhat more complicated in the learning curve. I spent days in the tut section learning everythin i could about everything. There are some really great tutorials out there, and most of the best are under the radar. look up (or just find it in my favs, but you'll have to wade through a lot of submissions, lol) background tutorial, because there is a great one that really taught me a lot about how I draw. also, Ultimate tutorial is godly. That tutorial is absolutely positively amazing, and I recommend reading every last thing in the flash section before you even think about anything, be it game, or movie.

Those are what helped me improve my art.

The sound is also lacking and that is slightly more difficult to fix. I assume you use Audacity or some other, better program... If you don't, audacity is free, just google it. It may be your mic, and the only solution for that is just straight up buying a new one... Lol, sorry, but that's what I had to do...

I hope what I said helped. Good luck, bro. You have some good ideas in your head, and i hope you can expand them.

[N.G. Showdown]

I AM IN LOOOOVE!
