Reviews for "Forsaken"

You're off to a good start

This is definately good work in the sense that I can tell you've learned a LOT of the flash program itself. Your timing is good, you make excellent use of the soften shapes tool and frame actions etc. I was impressed by that for sure. The problems you face are more to do with your polish. The characters are VERY reminiscent of Dragon Ball Z, something which you lose points for in my eyes, but likely gain points for in the eyes of others. More importantly though, your anatomy is attrocious, study an anatomy book, it will REALLY help with your art. Second, you have very little actual animation in the clip, most of it is anime shorthand, which is tollerable, but a few short sequences of carefully animated combat would have been helpful to your overall score. A good sequence is one that lasts for over a second without repeating the same frame at all.

Don't take this review as a criticizm, because I think you've done great on this flash, and it looks a lot better than some of mine. Also, you would probably do even better with a $150 waccom graphire or a $150 9x12 Aiptek drawing tablet. Smaller Aiptek's are even cheaper.

Good luck on your next flash! Practice Practice Practice!

PS: try not to use pop music as the background for an anime, I think it detracts from the overall quality. It would be better to use audio from the portal which fits the scene.

Thanks i do draw better on paper, so i am probably going to get a tablet

Surprising...

Though your character proportions and body interactivity need improvement, I was very surprised at the actually GOOD special effects that you had in the movie. Your usage of gradients in the glowing eyes and the fire were pretty good. Plus, the background, the borders and the overall coloring shows that you have massive potential.

Try to improve on the body proportions. Also, scenes like the hands accepting the sword need to have the thumb and the fingers on seperate layers. The overall movie was pretty impressive, you just need to work out on the details.

Good luck on your next flash~

Well...

You most certainly did better then I ever could! Just wanted to say that... However, the animation was done pretty poorly at times, which annoyed me slightly.. The effects were very decent, however, and using both red and black gave it a more... well, lack of words here--dark feel. Better for fight scenes. The music--I though-- was also very good, but then again I've been a fan of the song Forsaken for a very long time... Although I don't see where it fits in with the flash. :P
