[Spider-Man Animated Short]

solid

kinda expected more
out of this. the animation
was rather short and
simplistic in motion of
scenes, but the vector
like artwork of the
visuals were gorgeous,
especially the shafts
of light emerging in
between the forest. its
only the lack of the action,
especially from spiderman,
that keeps it from being
amazing. otherwise it was
a good homeage to the
classic web slinger. even
liked the old-school
appearence of the goblin!

[MGS 3: Crab Battle]

comic genious!

you are a comic
genious! that was
quite hilarious!!!
you took something
so simple as typical
task of the game, and
made an excellent parody
out of it. the crab battle
had me in tears, plus the
voicework was damn
proffesional. the voice
actor sounded exactly
like David Hayter work
in the actual games. the
quality of presentation of
the flash was proffesional
too with awesome graphics
and the menu screen. which
actually had the 70's-esque
tie-die, camouflaged background
that the game had on its menu.
i know you can import videos
into flash, but i havent seen
it used effectively as this.
overall excellent job veck!

[story of a loser]

solid

i find the animation
style very silky smooth
and highly appealing.
the visuals had a crisp
and refined look that
was worth seeing. the
music was uplifting
and fitting with the
intro. though with
the cartoon trying to
emphasize on serious
subject matter, i cant
help but not to really
take it seriously when
all of the other students
look ridiculous. i do realize
that you were trying to
capture the feeling of
being out of placed and
different, but they dont
really have that bully
physique with the bald
head, glasses, and preppy
appearence. otherwise the
graphics were great, but
not entirely creatively new
material...and...somewhat
humorous too, keeps it
from being otherwise
from being amazing.

[Do Us Part]

dramatic

great animation skills,
especially in the bathroom.
very fluid and life like in
motion. the content material
was very dramatic and does
deliever the feeling that it
is trying to express. plus
the original music and sfx
effects furthers enhances
the experience, which was
awesome. plus it is a perfect
contender for the monthly
vote. look forward to more
works due to how promising
it sounds after viewing this.
my only complaint is that it
wasnt entirely creative or
new, despite the sequencing
of things.

[Bunnykill 3 Vol.1]

subperb!

another great entry in
the series. the animation
was fluid, fast paced, and
smooth in motion without
relent. the violence was
top notch and satistfying.
though the blood splattering
effects seem to be better
as ever and really juicy.
the carnage that ensued
on screen was insane.
with blood on the walls,
ceiling, floor, everywhere.
not only that, but the star
wars-esque theme with
the laser guns and light
sabers was a nice change
of things, but not to different
from the previous episodes.
the sfx effects were fitting
and enhanced the action.
making up for an overall
subperb flash that relies
heavily on the combat
series, but in my opinion,
rivals up to it.
score: *****

[Ooopsie!!]

=P

nicely done, the
visuals were simplisitc,
but had a adorable,
cartoony asthetic to
it. the squeaky sounds
further adds to its charm
and the whole presentation
seems remeniscent to that
of teletubies. though what
i like most is the ending,
which was unexpected,
though not entirely
absurd. in the end, its
actually a decent flash
that was made within
a days effort, which is
more then i could do
without losing interest.

[Valhalla Knights]

classic!

the animation is goregously
beautiful with rich in
detail backgrounds,
visually stimulating
graphics with fluid,
life like in motion fbf
animating. turely one
of the better known
artists on this site. the
storyline is original, creative,
well thought out, and really
intriguing based off first
impressions. very dramatic
and tense in some scenes,
while others have light
hearted humor enlighted
by the typical anime
expressions and sighs
of distress. look forward
to more itterations of this
promising series.
score: *****
kudos,

[Sumo the Bamboo man]

solid

love the very proffesional
a-grade quality of
presentation and in
animation. the style
was very appealing
and the humor light
hearted and charming.
my only real gripe was
its lack of length. though
im shure...or hoping there
will be more to come.

[DucktaleZ 3]

booyah!

there are so many great
things about this cartoon,
variety, qwerkyness, and
animation style. despite
the animation being trace,
it does look very slick and
appealing to the eye regardlessly.
the different styles of characters
added quite a wierd visual
appearence with anime dbz
and the south park asthetic
of ducktales. humor was
delightfully pleasent and
had a very unique and
bizzare sense to it, especially
with all of the parody goodness.
voicework was excellent and
really added to the humorful
experience and sounded true
to the original characters. this
is the making of a great parody
series and i could only hope for
more, especially with bigger
and wackier cameo appearences.
score: ****

[Safety At work.]

solid

the animation was quite
unique and reminded
me of actual safety
pamphlets. just watching
the miniscule workers
laboring away is very
appealing and the
animation was fluid
and smooth. music was
fitting too and the text
fonts, with the enlightened
scenes, plus the color scheme
was very remeniscent to
that of "madness combat".
my only real problem was
that there should of been
more reactions to the cause
and effect scheme here...heck,
the board game "mouse trap"
has more zany concoctions then
this. though there was a lesson
to be learned here, but im not
shure if it was to be taken
seriously with the feel of the
cartoon.
