"Weird.."

by: Insanimation

date: July 11, 2009

Art/Animation: 6/10
There wasn't anything special here..It did the job, but a bit more detail and attitude would have really spiced it up a bit. The sun looked very generic. Try and give him a bit of character. The guy in the plane was a different style to the rest too, which was weird.

You used a bit too many filters too. There's no need too blur everything..

Concept/Storyline: 5/10
It was interesting, and you conveyed it well, but it felt like we should be looking for a message, and yet there wasn't really anything. Nuclear bombs are good? Hmmm..

Audio/Music: 8/10
The music worked quite welll, and the SFX were decent. Good work here. However, the music was just cut off at the end. You could try to fade it out instead.

Overall: 7/10
Good, but needs a better plot..

"Good job"

by: JKMonkey

Good job with this one man, really liked it. The art and animation was good, very well done and looked fantastic, good job with that.

The storyline was good as well, it seemed to portray a world in which war had ruined, which is a very powerful message, especially in today's world, excellent job with that.

The audio however seemed to be the only thing that seemed a bit iffy, for me it sounded like the quality went in and out, im not sure if its the flash or my headphones, but anyway I wont deduct you on rating. Otherwise the music was good, really fit the flash.

Excellent work here man, 5/5 from me! :)

"Good movie"

by: Haggard

date: July 7, 2009

This is a pretty good movie with an interesting idea for a story line.

I liked the colors you chose for this flash. Some artist tend to use the whole palette of colors aviable, without any shadings. You on the other hand made good use of shadings here. A red tone and a slightly darker red tone for the sky, the clouds, the sand. Everything looks pretty good here.

The thing that impressed me most was the shadow of the jet. It looked quite realistic how it moved over the hills.

Also, the music was nice and underlined the different feelings of the flash. At first a depressing world with a sad song, then a cheerful world and "Summer Breeze" playing (wow, didn't even know Type O Negative's version is a cover!).
It's also a good thing that your submission is only about 700KB big even though you had two songs in it. Some artists seem to just put the whole song in a flash even though they only use a small extract from it, which pumps their submissions up to 5 MB and more.

However, the animations are a bit rough and there was sometimes a white line on the right side.
Also, the credits went by a bit fast, hardly enough time to read them.

"Not bad, needs some work, but pretty good!"

~ Animation/Graphics ~

I would say that this is really the only downfall of the submission if you could even call it a downfall. The graphics were pretty good all around, but seemed like it needed a little bit more detail. Not too bad though. The animation was kind of crude. It got the job done, but I think the score would be much better if the animation was a tad bit smoother.

~ Story/Content ~

I liked how this made people think it was going to start off as some sort of war movie or some sort of sad movie, but you turned it around into something happy. Perhaps I should have realized that by your icon, but I'll admit that I didn't see it coming at all. So your submission wasn't predictable in any sense and was pretty original.

I think that you should have animated the sun a bit more. So it seemed more alive instead of just basically the background. Making it seem like it was on fire, etc.. The length of the submission was a tad short too. I think it could have been about 30 seconds longer or so.

~ Audio ~

Pretty good sound effects and choice of music all around. I think what was missing though was some more summer sounds. I think the sounds of birds chirping really would have made this feel even happier then it already was.

~ Overall ~

I think I suggested a couple of cool things to add to it and if the animation was a bit smoother I think this would be much better. An all around nice submission though. Keep up the good work.

"Wonderful"

by: SCTE3

date: July 5, 2009

Storyline
He seems to just be simply bringing happiness to a planet filled with pain, misery, sorrow, dullness. Then the sun comes out and makes everything the way it should be, decent concept to me.

Animation
This was almost perfect to me but the helmet breathing part looks like a beak instead of where he is breathing instead, if it hadn't been for that this could have gone so much smoother. Everything else went splendid.

Audio choice
Pretty nice, before happiness was a metal song and after happiness was a calm and happy tune.

Overall
Just change that thing from beak to breathing spot.
