Score: 6
"Nice attempt, just not good enough"
date: January 3, 2005
Well, kind of looks like video reels...Sort of like the 10second showcase which was an excellent example of how a reel should be done. Lots of people, with lots of talent. Unfortunately, this just did not meet the standards of a "excellent" film, and therefor it deserves a 6. However, not to fear, although many flaws were in your flash, there was much good too!
Flaws
- Disorganization. I could see what you were trying to do. You were trying to make one movie, by many people, however if you want to make a GREAT movie, which will exceed very well in newgrounds, you gotta have more than one week. It was a pretty good movie, for 200 frames and a one week period, but seriously, more time is needed. Good flash movies have a lot of effort and time put into it, and if this is what you're striving for, a deadline like one week will just not cut it.
-Scene skip. I got really jerky from the scene skipping between one user to another. When it from one author to another, it had various time elapsing. This isn't good. It gives the viewer weariness, and makes them feel as if it's uneven, which can tend to make them feel that the movie was crap, when it really wans't. Make sure you have an even time slot between the spacing of the frames.
Goodies!
+ It was a good attempt. I liked the violence and the sound, and the style for each of you is very unique. All I can really say is that you all have a lot of potential, and if given time and effort is put into your next collaboration (if any), I'm sure it will make it's way up to the Daily Feature.
Good luck!
