Experimental Flash. Please give constructive criticism!

I've been working a lot on my flash and as3, so if any of you have tips on how to improve, please don't hesitate!

It's only about a minute long, so don't expect anything monumental.

So I primarily focused on:

-Multiple layers
-Shape and Motion tweening
-Color properties
-Audio Syncing
-Play and replay buttons/coding
-Frame by frame

Again, if you have ideas of how I can improve on these, please tell!

"Very Good"

date: March 22, 2009

Consiedering its your first flash, this is very good. I've seen a lot of practiced flash artists do worse. One thing I would suggest is even thought it might take longer, spend more time on motion instead of just scribbling it in sometimes. The orange guy was good, but the grey people and the clouds could use some work. Also, considering your standing as an audio artist, you think you would do your own music. lol Well, this is pretty good.

"For your first flash..."

...it was actually pretty good! The music fit the animation very well and it being simple, just gave that extra touch, alot of people try to go and do as many things as they can and they end up overdoing it. But you certainly didnt overdo it. Great Job!

"pretty good"

date: March 10, 2009

the simplicity of the 1 minute short was good, but sometimes i think it has some small short cuts which could be easily fixed.. which is the actual detail of the scenery...

Right now im working on a short movie from one of your songs (vivid Illusions) (after the failed attempt to get the NG Megamix onto flash, lol) and i think it does pay to redo some of the details.. But other then that, i think you might have something..

i wish you luck

Cheers

"Not bad."

date: March 9, 2009

I liked the kinetic set.

I liked that the pace was frantic except for the main character (which is part of the point).

I like the message it sends.

I like the soundtrack and think the animation fits the music well.

I LOVE the simplicity of the whole thing... I really believe with a simple, profound message like this that less is more!

My only complaint is when you hit the "replay" button, you have to go back through all the opening credits which takes about 15 seconds it feels like. I would prefer to just watch the cartoon again at that point.

Author's Response:

LOL yeah. The original movie starts about 100 frames (or more) in and I did gotoandplay (3).

I'm questioning that myself.

I probably won't do that from now on unless the title sequence is shorter.

Thanks for the help!

"solid."

date: March 9, 2009

the animation was smooth. the only that jumped were SUPPOSED to jump. the graphics are simple but clean and enjoyable. the soundtrack sounded repetitive until you get that flute-ish sound in there.
did youi intend on this being an artistic piece? casue it was a little boring that he just sits there. if there was a message there, by all means keep it going, but if you were jsut lazy than....work on it.

overall, 7 out of 10. one point off for me not getting the point, if there is a point to be undeerstood.

Author's Response:

Nah, it was just messing around with the program.

I intended to instill some meaning, but don't get the idea that it was meant to be too artistic.

Once I get all of the basics down i'm sure i'll be able to start putting some meaning in them!

Thanks for the review!
