ummm...yea
The animation itself was good. Some really nice effects in there. The dialogue was pretty bad, as was the voice acting.but overall not bad. I gave you a 4 out of the 5.

Bad in terms of acting? Or bad in terms of writing? Or both?
Interesting
Lovely backgrounds. They're really good. I like your colors. They match and blend in with the background.
When you're describing the big... gray bearded... thingy, an improvement could be that you move the camera up his body or something. It's some type of movement so the audience feels like something's happening instead of showing him just standing there. It's describing how tall he is, so you could have the camera go from the waist up. If the character or the background isn't moving then at least make the camera do it.
Basically, Try not to have scenes that don't have anything moving. Like, make the leaves move or the camera if nothing else is going on (visually).
Good luck on your next flash~
Ghosty22 responds:
That makes a lot of sense...
My friend directed one of my flashes one time, and camera movement seemed to make the dialog so much more interesting.
Creepy story!!!
I want 2 see more now!!!
Ghosty22 responds:
Right now?!!? But my eyes hurt! I need a break!
But seriously, I almost done with the next script. I'll probably begin animating in the middle of next week
Interesting indeed
Good graphics and good animation. The story isn't action-packed or exciting but it is intriguing.
Ghosty22 responds:
Thanks... The next episode will have a big more action. Hopefully it will seem just about as mysterious.
Nice movie
You know, I thought this was some movie written by a big DnD nerd or something... but it IS very interesting and the author shows signs of real creativity, both as a writer and an animator, which is especially visible during the last scene. I'm really looking forward to more episodes as this movie shows levels of potential that most introductory movies on this site lack.
The animation is solid and the voice acting could be just a TAD bit better. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments...
Yeah, I really dislike Dungeons n' Dragons in general... It's always really corny and unimaginative. People think fantasy is all about spectacle and not about characters. And then there's an entire genre of garbage fantasy that has been spawned from people that think like that.
Most people seem to agree that my acting sucks. I've been working on the next episode, and I'm doing my best to put more emotion and more... "Authenticity..." In the tone of my voice...
Anyway... At least I can garauntee that the artwork and music will be much better in the next one than in this one.
