*thumbs up*
The flash was entertaining, and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect, could be better, but I still liked it neverless.
I was extremely impressed by the sound though. It seemed to always be right on time, and fit really nicely. ( Especially with the dead robot sounds :p )
Thanks much. To make this flash, I first thought of the vague idea, then looked at my various musics until one seemed to fit, roughly. Then I listened to the song dozens of times until I had figured out how the scenes could fit. A lot was made up as I went, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hehehe
"Robot left unnatended in park" Hehehe sounds like my dad's doing. Real sweet movie that is, how long did it take you to make this?

I love that newspaper, heh..
It took me about 35 hours spread over 3 weeks.
big ideas and a thick brush
This a fun watch even for people who aren't Fox. In fact, I actually really like the wide brush coloring - it's refreshing that someone out there is still in it for the story and doesn't go crazy over the execution. Of course, the big nerd in me wants to tell you that you get more depth by making the edges darker on round things (like fox, or our mystery villain). But in the end, I'll say fek it, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with next, so I hope you're gonna keep making things! More more more!
Though graphically unpolished, you've got a sohisticated, film-like sensibility when it comes to movement, suspense and just the right amount of humor (the newspaper thing, awesome, anything more would have been too much). Those are serious talents that not many people have; they're more important than being visually realistic any day, so don't ever let the man get you down if he doesn't like the way it looks. The way I see it, someone along the way told Don Hertzfeldt that he sucked because he can only draw stick figures, and he's one of the best animators out there today. Check him out if you don't know him. Especially after seeing that guerilla crayon clip in the Amalgamations movie - that was completely awesome, by the way, I kinda wish you'd go back and do the whole song with them blasting their way through black and white.
You've got a good eye, keep on learning!
More depth, edges darker...will do, sir. Will do.
You write an inspiring review, Mr. fanfuji. Thank you for taking the time to seriously consider my flash work, and to make my day. =)
Nice. I see this as a classic in the future!
Nice animation. I hope that its a series
Keep it up dude!
Thanks sir! I hope to eventually continue it as well.
Ya, nice
It was pretty good And i hope it becomes a series. Thanks for responding to my last review and I just want to ask
1) Do you have any advice for me making flash on 30 day trial?
2)How do you draw your stuff?
I'm sorry for asking such stupid questions but I know you would answer them and I am a n00b and I just want to know XD well thanks
Thanks for the review sir -
I'd be happy to give you advice over AIM if you have it. My screenname is ZombieLincoln. If not -
For making flash, I'd advise you to spend a good amount of time on your work, and to be patient with it. Don't be afraid to work with stick figures or the like just because they are frowned on in Newgrounds. Keep practicing and you will improve.
Most of my drawing I do from my head with the mouse. I never took art training or anything (which is probably obvious) but I have been doodling most my life, so I have some practice. For certain things I need to use a reference picture.
My art is inspired by other artists. Watching different animations is a great source for solutions.
Hope this was helpful, sir, and thanks again.
