Space Man Sam

This was made for a college project. The brief called for a 60 second animation aimed at 8 to 14 year olds explaining the basics of black holes.

meh...

Space Man Sam looks like an awesome character, too bad the whole idea to back him up kinda sucked. Your info on black holes seemed rushed together. Like you gathered the information from Google, skimmed through all of the pages, and narrowed everything down into four sentences. And the info you taught us wasn't even precise. Black holes don't suck up light, they distort it (bend it). That picture isn't even of a black hole. It's just some artistic representation of what a black hole would look like, only making it more fantastical than the real thing. All in all I give it a 3 because I think Sam is a cool character, and I like the Ape Escape music in the background.

Great!

That was very informative! Well done :D the graphics and music were entertaining too and made me watch it allthe way through. 8/10 and 4/5

The animation could have been better, thats why i didnt give you a 10,but still, well done :)

Good not Great

2/2 for the Music
1/2 for the Educational part
1/4 for Animation
2/2 for layout

First Off I liked the background Music, but you need a preloader so the Animation won't keep freezing and re buffering.

And the SHUTTLE man....My dad was the Structural engineer for the space shuttle Atlantis and Discovery and the fact that the SRB's (Solid Rocket Boosters) and the ET (External Tank) didn't dislodge when going into space irked me, LOL. No biggy though.

please

put a play and replay button!!!!

Good

Black holes suck in light therefore the picture of it should have been a void or a comment about the picture being a artist's idea of what it looks like so they do not become confused. If this is aimed at 8-14 year olds you might want to talk about the slowing of time close to the center to make them sound more interesting. At the start it seems like the sentence structure seems awkward with the death of the star and the creation of the black hole. Nice space-ish music by the way!
