"Misdirected Talent"
date: March 10, 2007
Your ability to draw and animate is being wasted. To be brutaly honest, and to concur with many reviews, is the voice acting and dialog is not on par with the rest of the flash. The reason the beginning is so entertaining is because we love the art and more subtle attempts at humor like the shampoo. When it gets to the dialog, it is completly lost. Throwback is supposed to be cool, he's not. Is that supposed to be ironic? It's not. It just falls into the annoying catagory. The characters in general are a sort of eccentric generic, and the only way it is entertaining is as some sort of inside joke. The acual voice acting lacks substance and feeling. There is an attempt at it, but it fails.
I don't want to be so discouradging however because this art is among the tops here at newgrounds. If you want to dish out higher quality flash animations and be accually rated at the top, you are going to have to pair up with a voice actor(s) or go back to the workshop with whoever your crew is and work on it.
I truely suggest that before you put all your energy into this Throwback series, that you create a seperate side short and focus on where this lacks, to see if you can wow the crowd in previous failing areas.
Good luck.
