[Blockhead: Episode 4]

LMAO!

It's the random stupidity of Blockhead that makes me enjoy this cartoon so much! It's like seeing my best friend with a smiley face on a flash cartoon. It's hilarious and the "fat old man" really helps drive the narrative forward.
Graphics are pretty good. Not too shabby at all. Your style is pretty much established at this stage, therefore it's needless to say this, but you get a 10 for it. Sound is in sync and it's bright. The only flaw i found in it was the starting theme. It's a little too loud and "meshy" when it comes to the combo of instruments you used to put it together. Otherwise, sound is good. Violence is there without becoming the main aspect of the film so that helps it being funny without being gruesome. Blockhead speaks out to people! It's one of the few submissions with even just a bit of interactivity in it. People can relate to it and/or can relate Blockhead to someone they have known or seen around (even though everyone likes an idiot in a film). Needless to add that the humor gets a 10. It made countless viewers laugh themselves silly (including me). The media's good all rounder. Despite the marks not being entirely full it gets a 10 from me. 5/5 on the voting panel. You deserve it!

Make more Blockhead episodes! Me and my mates love them!

The-Swain responds:

Hey, thanks a bunch! And you're right about the intro theme. All I did was alter my original midi to use organ instruments, and I suppose the close synching of so many similar instruments led to too much volume.

[Skateboarding With Angz]

Kinda stuck in limbo...

Not bad, i'll give you that, but there's room for improvement. THe graphics could use more shading, the tweens are not realistic enough and the movie had no punchline other than the guy skating and falling over at the end. it was kinda sudden, like there was more but there wasn't...

Shame. Make a longer one, take these pointers into consideration and i reckon you got yourself a winner!

Still, good job on your first attempt. Better luck next time!

Angz responds:

i dont tween, that was frame-by-frame

[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

[- "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
