Wow...
...this just keeps getting better and better, in ALL aspects. Just, WOW man! You´re really getting good!!!
I really have no good feedback for you, timing is good (perhaps could be even sharper, but hey, I didn´t notice anything bad at least) the graphics are getting sharper the sound is decent (I think you should use AP music tho ;).
The storyline is superb, and theres a great driving force throughout the whole series so far that keeps the viewer interested. Great job man, great job!!!
Thanks a lot! :) Hopefully I can keep improving! It's all these reviews that help this much, so thank you so much for writing them!
Emotinal, beautiful, deep...
...but what´s with the low score on this animation????
This is an awsome flash made with soul, seriously u really capture Kingbastards musical style in the animation with bravur!!!
The style feels original, and the slow camera sweeps+ things moving in rythm with the music made this top ace!
I really hope this one gets frontpage, the animation alone deerves it, and seriously, that song is amazing!
Too bad you didnt get hold of a higher quality version, thats the only thing i can come up with that wasnt that good. If you´d made the animation over a wav, you could have compressed to mp3 with a decent bitrate and gotten an OK sound wihtout using too much space.
Anyway, kudos to you man, i really hope to see more things like thisin the future!
Kingbastard have just submited the animation to his account, go search on the AP (since the review system doesnt allow URL). Song name is "Upwnstairs", a mixture between "Up and Down" :) Go get it (Five_Iron, update the flash with proper credits now that the song is in the Audio Portal as well :)
Credits have always been correct... but please go to the Audio portal and search "Upwnstairs" it rox you Kingbastard !!!!
Really...
...good stuff man! I remember your first claymation, and you´ve really gone a long way since then. A couple of cool sliding cameras and stuff, really sweet.
However, I think you should try to make a script for the camera, some cuts just didn´t go very well and felt unnatural.
Waiting for more :)
Well the thing about the camera is that people in my house kept on moving everything so I had to change direction ev everytime they did something like that.
Anyways thanks for the review!
Wtf ruben????
...that was freaky and sick :D
Awsome job man, i thought u werent gonna make any more flash, since it steals so much time, is what you said. And this is your last? come one man, u gotta make more!
I loved the dream-part, the weird musci and that big evil cat made everything really cool. Really funny twist too, i liked this stuff alot!!! Fiffeeeeeen everyone :D
Ruckloooo! THANKS MAN! :D
ha ha ha...
...GLARG!!!1
That was funny mate! I gotta see the prequel!
I made the other one over a year ago. it's pretty embarrasing, who knows what i was thinking back then. But thanks for the review :)
Ay...
...this is really good for a first FBF indeed! Even though fbf line style tends to get boring after a while, thisone kept me interested for longer than the ususall fbf-line animation. It was pretty slick, and a + for having another size, actually. I know it aint difficult to do that, but it aint made that often, so thiseone actually stood out from the masses a lil! Nice job mate, cant wait to see ur next flash! Keep working!
Thanks dude, ill try to add something new, but for now im just keeping lines, its effective and im working on different ways to make it better, after I have perfected that I will do other stuff :)
Coxeh
First NG releas...
...was pretty fuckin good, man!
I like the battletheme, it´s really simple, still you want to know how the mission went after the first failure when the helicopter crashed, and poooooof, you´ve managed to capture the viewer. Easy trick, yet very effective.
About the animation I think you should try getting the human(cyborg?) movements a little smoother, and like some reviewer said, try get the fx AND music more in sync with whats goint on visually. It all depends if how you plan your work. I would prefer to put music and fx first, and draw a small manuscript over what´s going to happen (i never finnished a flash, but i´ve made a couple of amateur videos, so i know what im talking bout :). Perhaps thats what you did.
Anyway, it had non stop ection til the end, and I gotta say that was a pretty amusing end too :D
I´m glad you decided to use my music ;)
Keep it up, awaiting your next flash mate!
/Rucklo
Thanks for your review and great music!
Manuscript is a good idea,I think its also called storyboard or something.Sorry about movements...I'll work on that.
Awaiting for your new song;)
it´s...
...just great. U got a good story going on, u got good "camera job" going on, u got great graphics going on, it´s simply very good.
Of course not the funniest thing i´ve ever seen, but it´s not supposed to be "dumb-dumber" funny neither. Timing is good, not great, but it´s good enough allright! Could it be that it´s a lil more difficult to get good timing when animatng in flash. I really dont know, since i never used flash in such an advanced way, and i dont know what techniques uve used, but man, this still is reaaaally good!
So, thisI can simply judge from my poor film education say, that it´s great! Can´t wait to see more man!
/Rucklo
Thank you for your praise Rucklo. You're right when you talk about the timing. In flash, it can be difficult to get timming juuuust right, especially with each line of dialouge being treated as a seperate scene. To tell you the truth, if someone who was a Flash master looked at my file he'd probably puke; it's an absolute mess. But, I do my best. Thank you for your review!
Man...
... this film was really cool! I really enjoyed it. The best part about the film was the theme, and the fact that U followed your theme very good throughout the whole film.
About the animation I shouldn´t say too much, since I never animated that much (and not clay) myself. But I thought it looked pretty cool, allthough you could have chosen another colour of the clay-dudes than blue (to avoid at least some of the "knox-ripoff" comments).
Audio was pretty ok, good songs (ofcourse, it´s all been found in the AP :P ). but if u´d only e-mailed me, I could have sent you the .wav of the song u used, and then u´d gotten better quality when ripping it down. I liked how u used different songs in different themes. Simple, and efficient!
Anyway, very good stuff here man! Looking forward for more!!!
/Rucklo
yeah im glad you liked it.
Well and it was mostly the only clay I had and I am going to make something else wihtout using the knox's people...
That wasnt me...
...that was your mother HAHAHAHA goddamn this shit´s good. Made me laugh atleast! Nice work, keep it up and lets get down! Yo. Fun shit. :P
Graphic uneven, good at some parts, worse at other. I think U know what parts are good and what were... worse... like airfight... lol... neway keep it up boy!!!!11!
