"Good tribute"

by: Shanus

date: May 4, 2008

Nice flash tribute to a great programmer

Graphics were quite simple, but nicely done. Liked to see the two varying styles and comparing them. The loops were quite funnily animated too :D

The sound was good, nice use to songs to show the mood. Nice choices.

Overall quite an average movie, but with little quirks pushed it in it's favour. Great work :D

"Ross deserves some tributes..."

by: Bezman

date: May 4, 2008

Nicely drawn logo and cool voice at the start.

My first gripe is with the buttons in the menu - you didn't change the graphics for the 'rollover' frame so it isn't as obvious as it could be what's a button and what's being selected.

iShirm's part was nicely drawn (although the animation was fairly minimalistic).

Doesn't seem very pleasant a 'tribute' though and as a tongue-in-cheek joke, it didn't actually make me laugh.

In your part, things could have generally been drawn better - specially the crumpled up paper.

I guess the end frame is meant to be charming in ist's simplicity/primitiveness? I think the two sides could have been clearer - are they meant to be cliffs?Mountains? and some of the lines you have could have maybe been omitted for a cleaner look.

I liked the jolly tune and colours though and the font reminds me of a holiday postcard.

It's a cool tribute and would certainly make me smile if it were dedicated to me.

I felt a bit underwhelmed by this though - might be the length or the lack of real humour or other substance (to my mind).

"Aww"

by: Shadow-1409

This was a nice little tribute to Ross, we'll all miss him! Anyway, this was a pretty cool 2 section flash and both parts were about equally good.

Graphically they were alright, Little-Rena's was probaly the weaker graphically but it had more in it, both parties need to work on thier character design and proportion a bit, as well as scenery.
Animation was alright, not much of it in there but what was there was pretty ok.

The sound was alright, good sound effetcs and music even though there wasnt very much of it throughout the flash.
Overall it wasnt half bad, but you guys could of done better.

Graphics - 5
Animation - 6
Sound - 7

"You're better than this!"

by: Coop83

Why do you guys persist with making decent animations with no effort in plotlines and a shitty bit of animation at the end? It beggars belief, because if I had that kind of talent, I'd be making some of the most slick animations out there, even rivaling Stamper on the scale of "I can offend you with my classy animations!"

Both of the animations in this piece have got decent enough animation for the movement of the characters and your drawing styles. Now take it further. Perhaps introduce a sub plot of how Ross is actually going in there to bring Yahoo to it's knees, just days after Microsoft has taken over the corporation, for example.

That's a plotline that I might have to explore myself...

"\m/"

Though both contributions are very short I enjoyed them very much! You both managed to get your message through in this short time, so I guess you've done everything right on "story" aspects here.

I enjoyed Little-Rena's part a bit more, because it focused a bit more on Ross I think. The letter he left was nice to read (even though it could have been displayed a tad bit longer. I couldn't hardly finish reading it) and the fact that he wishes that his replacement is a little worse than him put a smile on my face.

"more topical than amusing"

by: MacGuges

date: April 19, 2008

The depictions of NG staff were amusing, though I doubt this Flash will have much lasting value. I feel this short is more about fondness for the NG community (and its luminaries) than comedy. But that's ok. Goodbye Ross!

I noticed that music began to play for a moment when the menu screen appeared, but then cut off. And the menu screen animation lagged, while there was no sound. Is that a bug? Actually I noticed a bit of lag in both movies as well.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the writing of Little-Rena's short just a bit funnier than iShirm's. After Ross shed a tear while handing in his resignation, we discover that for his ego he wishes that his replacement not overshadow his own reputation. Not as much happened in iShirm's short.
