Please leave reviews!
What can i say? This is the first in a triolgy of random, stupid humor. so if your a fan of the random, enjoy! Also, this movie is a minute and 10 seconds long, making it my longest (and best) movie.
Yes it will be a series.

If the sound lags I apologize.

"Not bad"

by: Auz
date: January 29, 2009

It´s a fairly good flash in my opinion. It´s not the best sprite cartoon out there, but it is deffinatly not bad. I think the music is the main good part of this actually. It was very cheerful, which turned this into a funny little cartoon. And personally I kinda like absurdish, random, "stupid" jokes, so I also kinda liked this cartoon. It´s good that you made everything fast paced, because I think that really added to the humor.

A few things though. The menuscreen could use some more work. It looked VERY basic, with just some squares as buttons and a white background. It´s not the most important part of the movie, but it still is the first thing you see you know. So work a bit on that, give it a nicer lay-out. It was good that it had scene selection by the way.

I think you also need to work a bit on animating sprites still. This was quite a fast paced movie like I said, but sometimes everything did not look so smooth. Like some stuff not exactly moving, but teleporting along the screen. So work a bit on your animating skills and try to take a little bit more time on certain scenes.

And one last thing: I couldn´t read the black text at the end. Probably wasn´t that important, but if it was some joke I suggest you change the color to make it more readible.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It´s not the best thing out there, but it´s quite enjoyable still. Some parts seemed a little rushed, but to me it seems like you did your best here. Anyway, I do hope you´re gonna continue making flashes because I thought this was quite promising. Just keep practicing and you might win a few awards sooner or later.

"Not bad"

I think that you could do with panning the camera out a little, to give more emphasis on the scene surrounding the sprites. It also would help with the lack of focus that occurs with magnified sprites.

It doesn't really have much of a plot to speak of, but when you consider that it is supposed to be a Wild Day, we are delving into the territory of randomness, just by opening the flash :P

I think that you could have stood to make this longer and maybe even incorporate parts 2 and 3 to this whole submission, thus giving us something really deep and meaningful to have a look at.

"Random"

date: January 22, 2009

This seems to be pretty much random. Most of the time I didn't knew what the hell was going on. ^^

Anyway, you used the sprites in a pretty good way and the camera work was decent too. Maybe you should use a wider angle in general, so that the viewer doesn't get motion sickness from the pan shots. ^^

"Needs some work."

Animation/Graphics - Overall your graphics and animation weren't too bad. Of course your graphics weren't bad since they were sprites and everything. The animation was a little choppy. There were a few times where it looked like the characters moved a little where they weren't suppose to or the animation just wasn't very smooth. I also noticed a few other glitches, but nothing too bad.

Story/Content - Basically random. Not really funny or anything too exciting to watch, but not that bad overall. Perhaps a little bit more comedy or action would make it a little better. Kind of short, but almost the right size in length. Perhaps making it about 2 minutes or so would have been a bit better. Perhaps it was just a little generic, but I guess there isn't too much you can do with sprites.

Audio - I loved the song you used in the flash. Really brings back some memories of when I use to play Kirby on my old fashion black and white gameboy. Sound effects and everything were also fine.

Overall - Kind of generic, the animation could have been a little smoother, but not really that bad.
