[Another Day Seven]

Great animation, iffy music

Where has wobbliness gone these days... I swear you're the only one that does it. I don't think it's very hard, but you're still the only one to do it!

The concepts were great, art was a good mark, and you continue to amaze me (even though the only other "another day" submission I viewed was a game, something about a nightmare). However, the music sounded a bit mute, laconic, and somewhat like an amatuer composition. I might have been biased because of my piano playing, but the words themselves weren't so great anyways.

A 10 in style! Congrats!!

The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

I'm glad you liked it. The wobbling IS very hard. I means I have to draw everything four times, instead of one. That means four times as much work. Four!

[Bad Guys Go To Hell]

Not as good as the other BadGuys

I guess I'm one of those elitist fks =P

I can sit through a scene of the such animation from the first scene and tolerate it, or when used for greater effect (heck, even Adam Philips does it for his Brackenwood flashes), but throughout the entire flash? Ugh! The fact that the people were entirely grey and boring didn't help it either, along with a complementing grey backdrop. I can see that it was suppose to emphasize the point, but the awfulness outweighted the goodness. Be careful when pulling off such a stunt with content as you have displayed.

Regular people replacing God and Satan is a first for me, and I liked the last line "me damn it!"

On a related note, I'm going to guess that you're a provoker of religion, particularly with pantheism (badguys2:appeasingthegods)

ChrisNosal responds:

Nah, you're not an elitist fuck.

I'm okay with poking fun at religion. I try not to be mean about it or anything. I'm personally not religious.

Thanks.

....!!!!!!!....holy....*runs off to tell friends*

Words are at a loss trying to describe your works; it's like trying to get every single positive detail out of each second you experience in real life! (slight exaggeration) It made me chuckle when the naughty little satyr-thing, or the reoccuring character from the other two front-page features (Bitey of Brackenwood, Prowlies at the River) for the more general-minded, was pwned by the little foot at the end =P

I hate to rain on such a perfect flash, but what I do in these reviews is voice what I think needs work *cries*. There are two things that disrupted the otherwise pristine goodness of this flash movie. The first one was darn painful, and it was the movie controls that show up in different sizes for about 7 seconds or so before the strange flying plant creature scene. It looked nice and it works as far as I've tested it (play and pause, didnt' try the others), but it was probably not beneficial to the overall quality if you planned to have it throughout the movie. The other thing is pretty subtle, and it was the "pinwheel" motion of the night sky coming in. That didn't seem to hold much verisimilitude anyways.

Maybe the movie toolbar mistake will get fixed if you bother resubmitting it, then I'll praise you as my idol of supreme perfection, despite the other "flaw".

A 10 in graphics and style!!! Congratz!!!

chluaid responds:

oh yeah.. the controller is very temperamental and I'm thinking of removing it altogether. It's supposed to be invisible until you press the spacebar, then it disappears when you press the spacebar again. It's pretty much flawless until littleFoot appears, and after that it just goes stupid. If I can't get it working eventually, I'll update the movie with a new controller.

As for the sky, I don't even know what 'verisimilitude' means, so I'll go look it up, then work on the scene if necessary :P

Thanks for the review!

Where did clock prejudice come from?

Anyways, what I noticed was that all the clocks read exactly the time displayed on the computer. You scared the sh!t out of me doing that. Good stuff otherwise, even if a bit corny at a few points.

StrangeClock responds:

Clock prejudice is believed to originate from the 12th century, which was the time of the great Internet Depression when everyone was depressed from all the angst-ridden lashing-out-at-the-world Flash animation that was being published. The Clock Crew produced movies that advocated love and respect, and as a result they were mercilessly persecuted by many who believed the Clocks were the source of all their griefs and problems. To this day that prejudice has not been fully eradicated, as fathers pass it on to their sons genetically. This is also where the belief that all Clocks have big noses stems from.
