[Kevalots Tutorial]

you got skills, but you shared 'em fo` shit...

this tutorial had crappy interactivity. the buttons were a battle and a half to click (and for them to actually work), the tutorials weren't something that a lot of newbies and veterans didn't already know (actionscript is easy to pick up and animating is the first thing that anyone attempts with flash).

the music drags on and it's annoying. put the volume down or choose a less annoying tune... This sounds more like it's just been chucked in for "fill-in".

i should be trying to blam this... but sin'ce i'm lenient towards tutorials (and because i saw it on an apple with a blue & white G3) i'll give it one more point...

Kevalot-Darkstorm responds:

yea i kinda tryied.. well i still hope it dosent get blammed.. i made it for the beginners

[Red tape]

Ain't gettin' kicked out anytime soon...

this animation ROCKED! i haven't yet seen someone making such use of shape tweening as of yet... and you came first.

Great graphic styles, i have to hand it to you... Quite surreal and they never lost their feel...

Keep up the good work. I wanna see more of you on this portal!

[Opie & Anthony Trailer]

Interesting in its own way!

And it was about time that someone stepped outside of the comfort zone. This trailer wasp piss hilarious. I hope your upcoming shows live up to be as good as what you showed us in this submission (if not better). I had a yarn and a half like i didn't for god knows how long.

graphics are a little bit flat (needs a little more shading), but they give character to the film, which is what matters the most. Sound is clear, dialogue is probably too explicit (not that i give a shit, it's just for the stingier audiences...), music is well picked and the ideas you pitched for this cartoon look promising.

Hurry up and send the first episode in! I wanna see it ASAP!

[Tech SUpport II]

Well done. Well drawn. I laughed. I liked. I vote.

Even though it doesn't compare to the rest of the cartoons made for your series, i still think this one looked good. I got the gag and i laughed a little bit. Keep it up.

[Das Beans: Ep.3]

ROFLMMFAO!

Piss hilarious! And it is because it's exactly what happens on Messenger in real life! You type properly and someone who doesn't gets cut!

Cut short. Graphics are basic but well treated and neat, Your style is very characterised (rather than a plain flash where the viewer thinks "it's a flat picture". The Concept is obviously funny as hell and the sounds taken from the actual Messenger really set it all up nicely. One of the best shorts i've ever seen. Congratulations! This piece gets an 8 in the reviews but it gets a 5 in the voting polls! Make more!

[- "Spokesman" -]

Excellent treatment, short time.

That would be the only flaw in your clip: it's too good to be this short! Make it full length and send it in, because to make frame by frame animations at 25 fps gains a hell of a lot more recognition than a simple shape tweening across the screen.

Nice job. I'll give you a 5 to help your submission survive.

I <3 you :D

[S.M.B.2 Bloopers]

Two words: Piss Hilarious!

That's some seriously funny shit. The way it was done helped too. The sound, the graphics, the animation. This Is a piece i have not much to write about. It's simply one of the best sprite animations i've ever seen! Try to believe.

Full marks from me!

[Foamy: Hurricane Special]

10 for honesty

It's good to see someone using NG for more than just entertaining the next retarded unvoting uneducated prick that comes our way. To all who haven't voted on submissions you watched or voted crappy marks just because you felt like demeaning that author and NO OTHER good reason, F*** YOU ALL!

Take that away. I live in Melbourne and i'm donating as i'm voting. I'm givin my parents half of my last part-time job paycheck (48 bucks. ain't much but it's something). Thanks to the author for making Foamy speak out to these morons who care more about clicking on a thousand flash submissions just to give in crappy votes and get experience for their account (which is not gonna help anyone). I'm giving a ten to this submission. The longer it stays on the front page, the better.

[Become]

One small flaw and the movie's no longer perfect.

It's a shame that you had to add a useless transition smack in the middle of the film... It was fun to watch and having the screen just trans from one scene to another destroyed the continuity of the film where you show every little step of the way without skipping anything... Oh, well... Leaving flaws aside, it was a really good film. Claymation is no longer that popular and having a young talent like you throw it back into the popularity pool like that is a very bold gesture. The track fits right into the film you made and the editing wraps around the soundtrack just like a slice of prosciutto on a grissino. Make us another film and remember: don't add transitions where you don't need them!

[YAAFM 11: Scientology]

Funny because it's true. Always good.

For a media presentation it's very funny. for a cartoon, it needs the characters doing more than just talking, blinking and putting stupid signs on the screen for a cheap laugh. Relax, i'm just pointing the bad out because it's there.

Onto the good: It's hilarious, it looks great, it's your own idea (pictures can be ripped all we want as long as we employ them in our own way) and it kept me glued tothe screen. If i can't feel that happening then it's a crap submission already. Excellent effort to the guys down at Zipperfish for once again delivering a bit of rethorical content which never hurts a mature audience. Keep up the good work.
