[Black Knights Episode 1]

voicebox

Stunning, stunning movie. The graphics were great, from the detail of the soldiers and knifhts to the night sky and silhouetted castle. The only weakness in this flash was the voice acting, it was a little bland and unexpressive and didn't sound quite appropriate for those knights. I guess it's hard to cast great voice actors in a flash cartoon, but it seems like you just receorded yourself. Gotta give high marks though, it was a great flash and was entertaining to watch.

[LoZ - The Final Link]

aye papi

It's so great when you view the movies still under judgement and are completely stunned by what you see instead of the usual crap. It's also great to be one of the first people to view and review something of such outstanding quality. This will be front page for sure and will probably at least win a daily award. The graphics were unbelievable and quite unlike any other flash I've seen. Link and Ganondorf looked photo-realistic and the entire world you drew was dark and beautiful. I'm now going to go view what else you've done because this shit was incredible and you have some serious talent.

thanks, but this is a step up from my other stuff, so dont be disappointed by them :-/

[Marios Mushrooms]

hehhh dude, pass the flower

Ehehe that was pretty funny. I'm sure everyone's thought of Mario taking mushrooms, you're the first person I've seen to actually make an entertaining flash out of the idea. Come to think of it, Super Mario has sooo many drug allusions in it. A little dude in a red hat goes around eating flowers, mushrooms, and stars? hmmm, interesting. The drawing was really good, I liked the whole look you gave him, it was pretty original. The only thing I'd say was a bit of a problem was the smoothness. The animation at times seemed a little jolty. I'm guessing that's maybe because this is frame by frame animation although i have no idea how to make flash so i could be totally off. Gotta love the mario theme music! All in all, good job.

haha man!,

thanks for the great feedback!, yea, the part where he jumped and hit the '?' brick was fbf, and was quite poorly done.
Thanks! :D

oooo, aaaa

Holy fuck. That was freaking awesome. The space-scape was just beautiful and the ship graphics were unbelievably intricate and detailed. But the real gem of this flash is the sound. The sound effects blew my mind. The sound the fighters made when charging up, the minigun on the cruiser, the explosions, they were crisp and clear and were just fucking sweet. The music was perfect as well. When i listen to psy trance that's the kind of scene i think of, in deep space somewhere travelling through a psychedelic vortex or space ships in devastating combat. This flash is like brain candy all wrapped up in gorgeous visuals and sounds that make my ears happy.

Wonderful! :)

Woah that was deep

Where to begin singing praise of this marvelous flash? I don't even know there are so many things i loved about this animation. First off i loved the style it was drawn in. I'm not a huge conaisseure of flash animations but it seemed like this was very original just in terms of the artwork which was absolutely beautiful. The movement was a little awkward at times but i guess it's really difficult not to be when animating in that style. I liked your choice of music as well. The american beauty soundrack always goes well with this kind of touching, deep subject matter albeit a little cliche. Some parts were pretty funny as well like george bush looks like he's yelling 'Poop' over and over again which isn't that far from the truth. The thing that i really loved about this flash though was its meaning. It was so...sublime in its simple beauty. It had happiness and contentment as well as sadness and despair and the two juxtaposed has an astonishing effect. It just amazes me that u take the viewer through this whole range of emotions in a couple of minutes and at the end reveal such a deep and relevant truth that leaves u feeling this emptiness but at the same time strangely satisfied. The last review put it perfectly in far fewer words. I'd like to see what other stuff you've done because i love flashes that transcend that level of excellence to become art.
