Reviews for "(2004) Death by Horoscope"

-bump-

wow the last person who posted seems to take this kind of thing very seriously.
once again, this is hilarious! and i love the way it sounds all "kids playing with their toys". i have been sitting here for almost an hour now watching all of your movies, and have loved every single one.

i'm just curious about one thing. all the props you use in your movies (ie, the t-rex dinosaur, the cars, etc) do you go out and buy them specifically for the claymations, or do you dig deep in into the toy box in the garage and think "hmm, this could work!"
i'm going to assume its the latter.

thank you knox for keep my mind stimulated time and time again. :)

yeah,usualy i just some how find one of my old toys from when i was little and go "hmmm i should use this!"

Yet another Knox Classic

Once again, u've created another master-piece. Man, u have alot of talent. U r definatly my favourite flash animator of all time. keep up the good work!! :D

i know your tricks : p

(parody) nice 3.78 score...my last movie had a 3.80 on its debut day and ,if you submited your movie 2 weeks ago my movie wouldve kicked yours ass :P

you just picked a good day to submit this movie,i didnt just sign up to NG yesterday :P
you waited until 4:32 to submit this movie,and just so happen to submit it when all the movies were crap(wich has been rare lately)..i know your tricks :P
(plus all those alt. account you and your friends have)
(/parody)

Being an animator myself, I observe movement while watching movies. A movie had better be very emotionally gripping either through suspense, action, or comedy for me to not pay attention to movement. Your movies are usually all comedy, but your saturday morning humor doesn't appeal to me (horoscope doomsaying is just way too similar to some kind of Smurfs plot), so I'm usually sitting and watching undefined blue figures wiggle their arms.

One note about when you employ some movement: the animation becomes very choppy when the figures are walking. This might be due to lack of joints (like knees) and to compensation for an akward shuffle movement would lead to cutting out integral keyframes. I know animation nor looks really matter to the majority of your audience nor your future career, but this is a critique so I have to mention it.

I think your audio is pretty nice and clean, no real ambience or distortion. The voice acting seems on-the-spot as if listening to a kid play with his toys, but it fits the whole slapdash set... or lack thereof.
One word about the audio-- it seems very empty. Makes me think I'm in a friend's parents' uninsulated basement during a cold winter.

Looking past the parody section, hope this review was helpful.

sup piconjo ;)

actually my movie had a 3.85 on its dabute day....and the submissions have been crap all this week :P


the reason why the animation is choppy is because its originaly 18 fps..but when its imported into flash i have to put it 12 fps or the sound gos off sync(dunno why) so the animation appears kinda choppy


ps. i dont need to have alternate accounts or other artists to seem popular on this site :P


and why do you always post your name at the bottem? are you afriad that people will forget who you are? :P

haha you know i love you :p me and DrNeroCF do the same thing all the time...hes a dick too ;)
