7/10

This movie had a lot of potential to it, I just didn't see you go anywhere with it useful. Although you had my attention, I felt like you failed to do anything with it.

The artwork in this movie was actually very nice, other parts and panoramas where very sloppily done with only a few colors and no shading. I think if you spent a little more time on some of your bigger scenes that show the immensity of "Solar City", then it would grab the viewers attention more.

The music in this really did catch my attention. I must say to ParagonX9 very nice Techno Remix. You also did a perfect job of matching your animation to music when you selected that song, Link3Kokiri. They both go amazing together. As far as the voice acting goes on whomever' behalf, I was too impressed. You did say that you weren't that skilled at voice acting so this wasn't really a big deal, I just would've liked a better voice to match the character.

The animation was brilliant though, but sometimes, like the artwork had some rough spots which could've been improved on. (The "Skeeters" head turning, some of the civilians, etc). Some parts that stood out to me were mostly scenes with Miles, such as his head band flowing in the wind and him jumping when he puts the headphones on. I was impressed enough with the animation enough to keep me watching until the end. I really don't want to talk anymore about animation because you're still experimenting with Flash and had to do this for a school project, so it was probably rushed a great deal.

I really would've enjoyed seeing you improve on the story-line a little bit. Again, I know that this was a project and some things were probably skipped over and you didn't have much time to look for little things that the viewer can pick up on. The story does mean everything, though. At the very beginning you'd think it's about the Skeeters, not about the helpful robots. Why is he attacking the robots who guard people? All you say in the description is that "He's stopping a group of civilians that are being kidnapped to be turned into mechanical robots for devious schemes..." Next time try to inject more into the story-line.

Overall this movie was pretty good, with a few apparent flaws. Don't sweat it though because you did make this for a school project and believe me, I know what it's like. Flaws are bound to happen when you're just focused on getting something complete. Don't worry about the "stars" because they really don't even make a difference, if I had a choice I wouldn't even use them. I really do want to see more of your work when you have more time, you've impressed me.

kinda like chrome shelled regios

but nice flash. hey i guess cuz he stopped the ppl being turned into the defender robots the next episode must have the city being destroyed cuz theres no guards anymore

hmm..

You have skill (or at least the pre-cursors to it) and your foot in the door of what could be an insanely awesome series. Call this one a pilot and spend time improving your art before you blow us all away with episode 1.

(love the concept of the music tweaking with his body too, it inevitably segways into fight scenes awesomely choreographed to music.)

AMAZE ME

quess what i smell

Many MANY Episodes. make them longer though and just for kicks, throw a song from Pendulum or Powerman5000 in there. that shits good music

Music and Animation

The music was good, along with the animation. It shows your a really good sketch artist. However, the plot is somewhat either confusing or nonexistent in this story. Overall, not bad.
