Reviews for Blockhead: Episode 1

[ninjabobdole]

nice flash

I wanna reccomend this to a catagory list thingy, but i dont want it to go to the funny toon setion, i want its own section! hyper boy gets its own section and it only has 3 flashes! Why cant there be a Blockhead list? If u would get a list of ur own, ur flashes would get alot more popular. The only reason i found theblockhead series is cuz i saw #4 on the front page. i didnt know there was a blockhead 5 till i saw the best of yesterday list. Oh and good luck on starksons crusade. What are u aiming for for starksons crusade?

I'm not sure how to get it its own section, though I would like that. I dislike that if none of the episodes are visible anywhere in the Front or Flash Portal pages, then no one really gets to see the series for the first time (because it's effectively hidden from the world). Sooooo, I am hoping to have a section before the new year, as I will be trying hard to complete, before Christmas, a very long Blockhead "movie".

As for Starkston, it's the joint creative work of me and a pal of mine. It's more action, suspense, and drama. Very little humor. It's actually the reason I got into flash. We've been planning and 'training' for it during the few months that I've been making Blockhead, so I'm hoping it's well recieved when we get the first episodes out in January.

MA your work is exelent and your jokes are cool i just think on one thing: have u think on doing animations with other ppl¿?
i mean ur animation is cool but is good to take a little time to make other things (i am not aying u s**k in animation) is just that in a time ppl will forget about block head.. =( (like Randy Solem happen xD i mean of ROMK 1 to 4) so just to recomend sth is just a word of one of your new fans ^^ well cya and i wait till there is more block head

The-Swain responds:

After Episode 5, I'll be working with a friend of mine on a project we're calling "Starkston Crusade". I'm not giving up on Blockhead, but you're right, it's good to work on other projects every now and then. I'd like to make a little bit of something for everybody, as not everyone knows or likes Blockhead.

If I can let you in on a little secret...
I originally learned flash so that I could make Starkston, but I've been stuck on Blockhead because I like making the episodes. Anyway, gotta get back to work on Ep.5!

Good, but it was too short.

Well first off I have to say it was good, I liked it, it was definitely funny and the humour was there right from the start, the only problem was with the length, it just seemed too short and there wasn't really that many jokes in it, it should have been longer as it would have made it much better and it would have got a much higher score.

I liked how right from the start you started with a funny joke, it just instantly got my attention and got me interested in the movie from the word go, I expected a constantly funny movie and that's what I got. The idea of basing a movie around a really stupid guy doesn't sound like it would make a good movie, but it did, I especially liked how Blockhead was talking to some guy that wasn't even in the room with him and it generated some sort of interest into what was going on, was that guy his subconciounse mind telling him or what? It was a nice little concept and the thick jokes worked really well.

The only complaints I have about this other than it being too short is that I didn't like the merge of the two graphical styles with Blockhead and his surroundings as it didn't look that good next to each other. I also wasn't too keen on how you chose to use pictures that you'd played around with in photoshop at the start as it just gave the impression that the movie was going to be awful, fortunately it wasn't. Also the sound quality of the fat bloke's voice seemed a little poor when his voice got loud and it just didn't sound too good. My only other complaint is a minor one, the size of the window seemed a little too small, I checked it out and w=525, h=375 seems to be the best way in which to view this, that complaints not really a complaint though, just a reccomendation.

Peace Out, Afro Stud
