"by the prehistoric starring character"

by: Bezman

date: August 23, 2006

------- Horrible hit frames for buttons. I'll assume you now understand the effect of frame 4 ('hit')? I think it should always be a filled shape that is at least slightly larger than the visible graphics. For normal buttons, a rectangle works fairly well.

+++ Fuzziness. Nice effect.

? Is it a low alpha mc of a few frames of noise, produced in Photoshop?

+ I generally like the font you use at the pre-loader.

- Though not the 't'. It looks a bit too straight for that font family. Also, I'm not keen on the 'n'. If you can be bothered, maybe edit it?

++ 1st gag (shape it was) made me smile.

- last gag (end) came as a disappointment. I was actually really rooting for the little caveman and interested in seeing what would happen next.

+++ I do love the title's font.

+++ Great music. Sets the mood perfectly and whilst it's repetitive (kinda suiting the theme well), it doesn't get too dull.

-- I think the ending 'dun' should be maybe replaced with an sfx. I think that'd up the comedy value and might have made me actually enjoy the ending.

-- The bowling arm tween is so obviously lazy. When movement looks more like a typical flash tween than what it represents, I think there's a problem.

- Feet are slightly odd-looking.

+ I do like the face.

-- I don't like the trees in the bg much. Maybe a lusher, slightly darker but more saturated green? Or maybe some texture, maybe shadows/some leaf detail?

+ Cool dino at start.

==

Enjoyed it. Short and sweet.

Made me smile and I was charmed by the prehistoric starring character.

"Doh!"

You're play button seriously rubs me the wrong way. >_< But this is a cute flash. I liked the joke and the animation ended on a high comedic point that was all you.

A higher frame rate for a short this short would have been appreciated. The movement seemed slow and awkward (especially while his arm was turning) and needed some sense of easing.

The shape tween you used on the bowling ball caught me off guard and made me smile. I've never seen that technique used that way and that grainy effect turned me on. I also enjoyed both the music and the animation. They really complimented each other.

Overall, I have some issues with your play button and your framerate (which comes off as a bit lazy for such a short animation), but other than that, this is a solid animation.

"Nice!"

by: InumaAsahiDe

The graphics in this submission were very well done but I have to say that you need to do a little work on the movements of your characters. they are, or should I say the caveman is, very simple in his movements. try to make him flow a little more when he's moveing and that will make your moive better. Your style is nice and I like the backgrounds that accompany your production. The music was very fitting of the cartoon and so i liked it. And most of all it made me laugh, even though it was short, it was short in a good way. Somethings need to be short because they are meant to have a quick and thought powered punchline. Seeing this I think you're movie here falls under that catagory. Good work, nice graphics, and a funny ending.

Score: 9

"Once Again"

by: TheBeagle

date: August 1, 2006

Once again a quality submission by my freind, Bad_Atom. Really nice man. The graphics were very really nice and lots of detail was shown in all the models and objects. The scene of prehistoric future was done really nicely.
The style was once again very much original and similair to your other cartoons. You always give off a simple yet effective touch of meaning to your cartoons rather they are funny or sad.
Sound wise it needed a little bit of work. The music was perfect but I think it could a little bit more sound. BUt I guess for hte length it doesn't really matter.

Good work. 9/10

"nice one"

by: KWAS71KCK

date: July 31, 2006

nice idea on how he came up with the bowling ball... but i had to watch this one twice to finally get the ending, especially since it came out of absolutely nowhere: there he is, thinking about a bowling ball, then all of a sudden he gets squashed by an elephant... very random indeed, but also quite amusing.
