"Didn't really help me"

by: Heil
date: January 27, 2007

You used alot of fancy graphics but no clear step by step way to draw them, i can see the outcome is good but just not very clear on how to do it not only that but the sound was alittle too loud for me and so makes it harder to read the text and follow this tutorial clearly, im sorry but i didn't find it very helpful.

"I liked it"

date: September 23, 2006

It was an excellent tutorial and it seems like you really know what your doing with flash. It helped me learn a little more on how to use it which was excellent. The only downside is that you could use a little easier to read text.

Author's Response:

Thanks a lot, good review, glad it helped.

"A very nice tutorial"

date: September 21, 2006

-The Good-
Where to start, the background music was good and somehow it went well with the tutorial, not sure how though. Also it defientally sounds like what you're doing here, from start to finish the words 'great flash' came to mind very often.

-The Bad-
Nothing bad really to point out, perhaps the graphics could need perking up a bit but not much at all. Nothing more to say really, im pretty impressed.

-Overall-
A very nice flash, very impressive. Tutorials dont come too much better than this from what i can remember. Very nice.

Author's Response:

Thanks, this flash was really made for the sake of having a batting average, but as I got further through I decided to patch up a few things, and believe I came out with an okay tutorial.

Thanks so much for your feedback.
Very nice review

"horrible tutorial"

by: Rammer
date: July 27, 2006

this is absolutely terrible as a tutorial, but not bad as a flash. your graphics were good, and the music was even better (you can't go wrong with devo), but tutorials shouldn't be about one specific aspect, like this one was. you just said to draw this, draw that, blur this, blur that. shouldn't you have said more about perspective, reflections, contrast (so the things you want your audience to focus on stand out more than the background), and all that good stuff? this was no tutorial; it's more of a guide to drawing a specific background. and seeing as most of it is taken up my water and mountains, what could you do with that background anyway?

tutorials are supposed to be open-ended subjects when it deals with art and animation. in other words, this tutorial for animation is what copy-and-paste tutorials for actionscript are.

Author's Response:

An NG user of your status could put me in a dress and call me sally.

I agree with all that you said- and was flattered by some of:# :P. I thank you for taking the time to review my tutorial!
