The birthday scene was sad :(

It had a nice lonely feel. But at times things felt a little too ditatched from each other and it felt like it was lacking any development. Perhaps it'd be more interesting if more happened within each section? Not sure.

The style was kind'a nice. But some parts didn't work very well with being on paper. Like the bit where the guy is waiting for the phone and it's changing through night and day. It just felt a bit out of place since it'd be impossible to draw like that on paper.

The song was very nice! You really must put it on the audio portal and link it to this movie. I'm sure loads of people would love to download it (me included!)

submission: Bridging the Gap 1

Fun movie. Good dialog and funny idea.

It would be much better if you added some reverb to the voices and a looping background audio of wind or something so it sounds like two people on top of a big hill rather than a person talking into a mic.

The body language was good and made it so the lack of faces didn't matter so much. But I still think it could potentially be better with faces. Though maybe it wouldn't have worked with this angle.

Part 2 wasn't very good. I felt to reminded of the similar scenes in Austin Powers, and it lost the funny parallels to relationships that part 1 had.

Nice :) While the graphics and animation weren't so great, the story telling had some fun ideas and there were some nice cues to the music. Also the setting worked well for the animation style so the quality was less of a big deal.

You had some decent syncs with the music cues. I suggest you work on leaving less blank spaces between the cues for future though, since there were parts where you'd stay on one shot for a while and you could tell it was just waiting for the cue to happen. If you worked on making those parts interesting too then it'd greatly improve your flashes :)

The story didn't really feel finished, but it was fun to watch. Also, nice use of all the Franz music.

I enjoyed it! And congrats on the weekly 13th place! If this is your first proper flash then I'm looking forward to seeing your second and onwards :)

"No pen license?!"

submission: Pen License

date: November 28, 2008

Haha, man, this kind of stuff usually doesn't get me so much, but I've ended up watching this a dozen times over the course of the day.

I think the thing that really does it for me is actually the body language. It adds so much extra effect to everything and it's an area I find a lot of flash movies lack and they either have very minimal or it just looks really stiff. Like the kid's arm when he's explaining he doesn't have a license and the teacher's head tilt on "No license?".

The build up music worked well, but you stopped it too many times. When you stop it, it cuts off the build up then it has to rise again. Doing it can be good for comedic effect or shock or something, but you did it too many times, too quickly and seemingly without much reason. Not a huge point, but something you can very easily improve on in the future.

Also, the little drum thing for the title seemed a bit too random. It sort of seems like it's going to go into a song, but you're not sure what it's really there for. It'd be better if it was a few notes on an instrument instead.

Congrats on front page. And btw, I loved you ignite people on fire series :)

"Great series :D"

submission: Ghost Out Part 3

date: September 12, 2008

Great series :D I love the blend of dark detective story and humour.

It's got a cool art style, though it's a little messy and hard to work out what's going on sometimes. The pixelly style you use for colouring and stuff makes things quite confusing to look at times.
I liked the use of more frame by frame animation in this part.

The best thing about Ghost Out is by far the dialog. Even though you can hear that you're putting on the voice in a few parts, the dialog is so cool it's easy to excuse/forget and continue enjoying the movie.

As good as the dialog is, it's quite hard to understand what he's saying at a lot of points. Partially from the audio quality and partially because the words are slightly slurred. I know it's kind of a character thing, but it really did take away a lot of enjoyment by not being able to make out some lines or having to concentrate on understanding quite a lot.

Btw, the giant skeleton/god at the beginning looked really awesome and creepy.

Congrats on front page and hurry up and make part 4! I really wanna see how this story all turns out :D

Great style. Even though some of your animation and drawing looked a bit amature in places (like the stick man in the walking down the street line), the style of the video made it not very noticable. Very cool.

Note that the MGS Collab isn't just about Snake and cock jokes. It is a collaberation of many great artists of NewGrounds, which counts for something.

'Grats on daily 2nd. Hope to see more.

submission: SHIFT

Great game. Very fun.
The music loop got a bit annoying and I ended up turning it off.
I think it would have been better if you'd left the Portal references out and given it your own style more. Your game is more artistically stylish and a different original style would have made it more interesting.
Really cool concept and executed well. I'm looking forward to seeing a longer sequel :D

Do you ever have a specific aim in mind when you were making the Sock episodes?

The graphics weren't anything special. Many noticeable mistakes, glitchs, lazy-nes.
The story was overly boring. Very predictable and uninteresting.
It was also extremely long. There was absolutely no need for it to be that long. Had it been made better, it could have been half the time and had twice the impact.

It is a good concept, but it seems that lazy-nes got in the way of making this anything special.
