"Strongly Underrated"

submission: yoghurt pants

date: 4 hours ago

I found this piece to be refreshingly eccentric. The atmosphere was lively and playful, the visuals fresh and alluring, and the audio suave and whimsical. It was a pure, enjoyable flash movie. My only qualm is that it felt too short. Keep it up.

Score: 8

"Not bad."

submission: Sweet Summer Break

date: July 9, 2008

It was pretty good, as is most of your stuff. It was amusing and the visuals were pleasant enough.

In at least one recording, there was some noticeable static. Maybe forgot to noise removal there or something.

I'm still waiting on your switch to masking for those blinks, btw. I remember giving that suggestion a LOOONG time ago. It'll look better and be easier to animate, so I dunno what's holding you back. Heh. If you need help or something, I could show ya, but I figure by now you probably know how to do it.
If you do finally switch to masking, I recommend making the masked part the eye pupils and white parts and actually having the eyelid behind it without the mask. That way, you could open the eyes with a single shape, and close the eyes by shrinking the shape.

Good luck to ya.

"Generally Uninteresting"

submission: Super Mario Hyadain

date: July 9, 2008

Most of the animation was either one of two things:
1. Reused multiple times in the movie
2. A still frame (somtimes in a single tween)
The lip syncing was horrible, and the character designs were so incredibly cliche that I thought I was watching a satire on anime itself until I'd actually watched most of it. Just because you're using Japanese language and influence doesn't mean you can't branch out with your style.
Overall, I found it repetitive and uninspired. I hope you try something new with your future projects. Good luck to you.

Score: 2

"Please Stop"

submission: Awesome Gaiden

date: June 24, 2008

It's a dead horse. A really dead one. These awesome movies aren't funny anymore.
Metal Gear Awesome was fresh and amusing, but now it's just stale.
Do something other than a spammy video game flash next time.

Score: 1

"Unoriginal, Unfunny, Uninspired, and Uninteresting"

submission: Grand Theft Awesome

date: June 24, 2008

It wasn't funny, the visuals were crappy, and the style is a complete ripoff (and an overused and old one at that). It saddens me that these kinds of submissions are given so much positive reinforcement.
Next time, rely less on physical humor and vulgarity, put more effort into the visuals, and please, please, please, use an original style (or at least not something not as dead as the Awesome movies).
Better luck next time.

Score: 2

"Very Overrated"

submission: More Brawl Taunts

date: June 5, 2008

The animation is sporadic and sloppy, the characters unoriginal, the visuals completely typical, the lip syncing off or downright looped, and the jokes comprised of childish gags and internet memes. This movie truly epitomizes the worst aspects of NG culture. Probably the ONLY way I could see this being worse is that if it were a sprite movie. For at least drawing your own characters (well, most of them weren't really YOUR characters... I should say "at least drawing other peoples' characters"), I suppose I can give ya a point. Beyond that, though, this movie really doesn't deserve anything close to the props its getting. The jokes are the kinds of things I wrote when I was 11; the animation was sloppy (like Metal Gear Awesome 1, but after it stopped being an original gag); the originally is completely inexistent.

I'ma enjoy the onslaught of "uselessness" this review will get, though. I love seeing people too immature to respect a differing opinion. ;D

Please do something original next time. I hope your next project goes better than this one. Good luck to ya.

"Fantastic."

submission: art in the playground

date: June 3, 2008

I loved it, Pillow, as I do with nearly all your work.

The characters felt very alive and expressive. The use of video in the background really gave it an immersing feel. Animation was great. It was simply fun to watch.

Well done, my friend. I wish I had that kind of motivation. :0

"I'd vote ten..."

But I need to punish you for no cameo. >8(

Where are you these days?

Score: 8

"It was funny up until the last parts."

submission: Badly Drawn Dawg Series 3

date: March 9, 2008

The style has really developed, and the visual/audible humor is quite funny.

You could probably add shading and shadowing to your badly drawn creatures while still maintaining the style. It'd probably make them look more purposefully bad than accidentally.

The biggest flaw for me was the end. Portal's old news by now, and it felt cheesy.

Anyhoo, keep up the style. It's pretty funny.

Score: 5

"Seemed like a pretty average movie to me."

submission: Brawl is here!

date: March 9, 2008

The animation was very minimal (even for tweens, which don't have to be simple), and the concept gets boring pretty fast. It's established that he is excited about the game. And... that's the movie. Narratively and visually, it's just dull and gives off an "elementary" feel. I don't get why this movie is so highly-rated.

To clarify; there's nothing inherently wrong with making a movie with low detail or purpose. I just don't think such should be so positively reinforced. If you want a high score, you should earn it.

Suggestions: make more actually happen in your movie, use easing on your tweens, add detail, polish your lip syncing, start with a more interesting premise (and/or finish).
