"I really liked it."

submission: Flute

date: November 12, 2009

I'm suprised I forgot to review this, I saw it upon its release and thought it was pretty sweet. Anyway, I love the experimental theme displayed in this flash, it is fun to process the images and try to figure out what is occuring, somewhat like a game. The plot was difficult to follow, but your great animating abilites made up for that. I liked the part when the character was jumping on everything the best.

For your first collaboration, I thought this turned out extremely well. I love the music, plus the ending is cool since the character has to backtrack and go where he previously was. The flute part was also really cool. In case you were wondering, I actually posted this in the treasure hunt thread, I didn't want cool work like this to go unnoticed. Anyway, keep up the excellent work everyone!

Score: 8

"Nicely done."

submission: Rube Goldberg DVD

date: November 12, 2009

I was actually going to rate this lower until I saw the ending, that was pure brilliance. These Rube Goldberg flashes always tend to amuse me, kudos for thinking up these intricate plans and then animating them. The animation was done well, and I thought the song went along great with the animation. The sound effects were somwehat childish though and didn't really mesh too well.

I liked how at the beginning you split the screen to show the two sides of the machine that were working at the same time, it kept me even more focused on the flash. Overall, it was an impressive and well done flash with a hilarious punchline. I hope to see more funny flashes like this from you in the future. Keep up the excellent work!

"I liked the animation."

submission: Save Me

date: November 12, 2009

The animation was very smooth, I liked the sense of characters you created. I found it funny how the main character would occasionally walk on two legs, but suddenly one would turn into a hand and he would hop on his one leg. The characters were very cute, the story basically flew over my head though, I found it extremely difficult to follow. Much of the animation made up for that.

I didn't like the beginning scene where the main character was chasing the teleportation device, the movement was hard to track and left me confused. The sound effects were well used to create nice surroundings. Overall, the piece was experimentally entertaing, but the plot could have been executed better. Anyway, keep up the nice work!

Score: 9

"Nearly perfect."

submission: Ooohhh! Pantalones!

date: November 12, 2009

Everytime you animate I always expect pure gold, and this was nothing short of awesome. It's pretty funny, I only took basic Spanish, yet I realized how flawed your speaking abilities were, haha. Don't worry, I didn't count off for that, if anything it added to the humor. It reminded me of Dora the Explorer, only reversed, or a childrens show that is based on the same prospectus.

The ending was very clever, I liked how the children in the background were laughing at the dog. The only thing I took off for was the dog doing trial and error with the pants became pretty redundant after a while. Besides that, the animation, storyline, and voice acting were all highly entertaining. Always a pleasure, Boogley. Keep up the great work!

"I like your style."

submission: Stress Bunny

date: November 12, 2009

The way you choose to tell a story is very unique, unlike any methods I have seen on this site before. I failed to really recognize a plot, but the obscure style you use to animate you characters is very satisfying. I like the song very much as well. A preloader would have been a nice addition, plus the flash and song repeat which eventually becomes pretty annoying.

My favorite part was when the octopi were growing from each other, it looked really cool in the black and white effect. I also like how some scenes were color and some were not, that is a hard tactic to pull off but you did it very well. Overall, it was a difficult piece to understand, but I feel like I accomplished something by watching it. Keep up the good work!

Score: 9

"Very entertaining."

submission: Adventure Prohor and Puzo

date: November 12, 2009

The animation was spectacular, seeing all of the frame by frame you did is enough to make my head explode. It's funny, I thought both of the guys in the flash looked like James Lipton. The music meshed together very well with the animation to create a surreal environment. The hog and the spaceship plus the monkey bartender were both signs that this flash was going to be awesome.

Unfortunately, the fact that you did not put the whole video up is enough to completely turn a person away. I'll review what I watched here, but it is disappointing that we were not entertained to the full extent. From what I saw, it was an amusing flash with funny characters and a good plotline. Keep up the good work.

Score: 7

"Interesting to watch."

submission: Forest

date: November 12, 2009

The story for this was pretty hard to follow. I did not really feel a connection to any of the characters or get a basic understanding of what they represented or were trying to accomplish. The animation was impressive and I liked the sound effects that were used, they made a realistic environment that helped paint a picture in my head. The imagery is something that I really appreciated, it made the story seem much more fun to listen to than watch.

It was a neat technique you used when you made the background not move but you layed the trees and other forest symbols on top of it. The story's point seemed misconstrued, and I thought the ending did not really set a base for anything, but I found it to be creative how the film started and ended in the same part. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Score: 8

"A nice compilation."

submission: TripleBits

date: November 12, 2009

All three of you guys did a swell job on this collab, it was interesting to see how your parts differed from each other. I was somewhat disappointed that the collab was simply unfinished business, mainly because many of these projects looked interesting. I liked the short clips like the man running into the sign because they were direct and to the point. I was impressed all of your abilities to animate, everyone of the scenes looked like there was a large amount of effort put into it.

Some of the scenes seemed out of place, like the man simply bobbing his head, and it did not really work as a transition in this collab. Can you please tell me the name of the song you used in the paperplane? I know I recognize it from somewhere but I cannot put my finger on it. Overall, it was a nice collab and was fun to see how you three put your minds together to create something cool. Keep up the great work!

Score: 7

"Pretty entertaining."

submission: Just a few buds

date: November 12, 2009

This was an excellent tribute to the celebration of 420. Some of the parts were better than others, but you all did a nice job of mixing good color schemes that looked pretty sweet. I think I liked Dyln's part the best, the obscure sense of humor that it contained was enough to make me smile. Nasty-Nates part was nice too, I mainly liked the song though. All of the music was good for the parts, they all fit the theme of the flash very well.

The style that UnderARock uses is very distinct, I am always impressed by the technique he uses to animate his characters. I like how other people had their own styles of drawing too, the whole collaboration was nice. Some pieces contained less effort which dragged down the collab somewhat, but I still liked the finished product. Keep up the good work everybody!

Score: 9

"A nice story."

submission: A Rhino's Stomach

date: November 12, 2009

This reminds me of something that would be seen in a Pixar movie. I really thought the storyline was adorable, it was funny how every animal was always a step ahead of the rhino. The animation was well done, and I thought the venus flytrap characters with foods on their heads were very creative. All of the frame by frame was extremely well done. I thought this flash was unique and you know how to tell a good story.

The music seemed appropriate in all the scenes, it helped create the mood in the flash. I also thought it was cool how you frequently drew the landscape through the rhino's eyes, especially the scene when he looked under the tree. The story became monotonous at times, by that was the only problem I had. It was a story that had a lot going on that met many of my expectations. Keep up the excellent work.
