So this is my first flash I made, I hope this passes judgement. The audio used in this submission is the song called stay, that I made myself, check it out, it has been submitted to the AP.

Could people please leave a review if they don't like it (you can also review if you like it), because I really would like to improve in my flashing skills, thanks and enjoy!

A first Flash movie from Jurian, and honestly one that is better than a lot of people's first flash. You have a decent sense of animation, and the style of this was pretty unique as well. I like the water effect in this, that was creative.

The length of this was really short. Only about 15 seconds long, so maybe you could make something longer next time.

Not bad, but very short

It wasn't bad in my opinion. The drawings were decent and the sand made a pretty good background. The music was nice too.

The main bad thing about this movie is that it was very short and random. It was like only 15 seconds long and it didn't seem to have some sort of plot or anything. Just some random stuff. It doesn't really need to have good plot, but at least try to make it a bit longer. Also, the graphics were decent, but you can still improve there. Especially the wave could've looked a bit better.

Overall 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. It was alright, looked pretty original. I would probably give it at least 2 points higher if you had made it longer.

I didn't like this. The visuals were nice and I like the idea of trying for an alternate animation style, but unltimately, it was lacking in humour or narrative and the visuals just weren't good enough for it to be good enough without those things.

Also, it was short and unfulfilling.

It looks like you're experimenting with Flash's line styles here. Has a nice effect, though maybe if the dog print wasn't in the bg the effect would be stronger.

The wave just looked like the image was at a bad quality - like you really enlarged it or something.

The buttons are horrible to click - in the 'hit' frame, whatever you draw is the area we need to touch to click the button. Generally a rectangle works well.

graphics aren't bad and I liked the end frame, but you need a narrative or joke here to make it a bit more fulfilling as an animation.

I suggest you carry on and make a longer attempt.

I think the idea of this quite original. The wave washing away the drawn scenes seems familiar, but I really can't say where I've seen something like this before (probably in the movies...), so I give you points for originality ;) .

Even though the drawings seemed to be pretty much basic I really think that you have a great talent and can easily improve on drawing things as on animating things. For a first flash the drawings and animations are fine, anyways.

A small downside of this flash was the length. It's just too short, so one can't really catch everything when watching it the first time.
I just saw the flash and I am not entirely sure anymore what happendend in those short scenes.

However, the real downside of this flash is the static that can clearly be heard on every beat here. Try to get rid of that and you'll get higher scores for this flash.

Alright

I liked it, simple yet affective.

The animation wasn't that great andthe syncing to the music was quite dire but I really like the quirkiness of it, it has lots of charm.

I would've liked to seen better animation, but other than that I can't advise you anymore. Good job
