inspired by the semi-recent gas shortage in Phoenix, AZ. this is my take on why there was a shortage and the consiquent astronomical gas prices. this is my first flash and its far from perfect. for instance, i dont know how to sync the BGM to the animation, so it matches up different on just about every computer. any tips?

Golden - great charaters, fantastic use of music (your other submissions are also good in this way) and a great story line that ends with a boom - 10/10.

"I liked it"

the guy before me's a geek, but he does have a point. doing the sound maybe 2 seconds or something after the flash would make it more realistic. but that's a really small thing, the movie itself was good. Particularly liked the music.

are those supposed to be cats?

"This movie was good"

Hey, just a couple of pointers. Firstly, you know that the whole gas shortage was because of a pipeline breaking or something, right? I mean, your theory is pretty funny, ut I think it is a good idea to include in the info the true story so that everyone knows what happened.

And, a small point about the explosion. Next time you do one, have it so that after the screen flashes you do the sound. The way to know how many seconds to wait for the sound, divide the approximate distance the camera is from the explosion, in meters, by the quantity of (331.4+.6*T), whereas T is the temperature of the area in Celsius(it is assumed that there is normal atmospheric pressure). But, a much easier way to do it is just divide an approximate distance by 343, and you got your time.

Anywho, great animation, cya later
