Reviews for "Hunters - Episode 1"

WOOTZ! A REVIEW: GOODZ FLASH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~111!!!

GRAPHICS:
Lacked detail: The outlines and animations were rigid and basic. The movie essentially seemed to be composed of blocks and circles-thats not creative of you, but it gets the job done. Give more complex lines and shadings to your drawings. Also, try to make the animations more fluid and natural. Have the characters walk humanly without resembling people with sticks up thier butts (^^ lolz).

I'm assuming you're using a mouse to draw-that must be tough. Though you probrably don't have an electronic pad for drawing, I've seen people work miracles with just thier mouse like the XIN series. Practice more with your mouse or find a better alternative for drawing.

STYLE:
Rectangular limbs and a circular head are horrible implementations of anime unless you wanted the SD look. Otherwise, reference some good anime tutorials for proportions, rules, and tips. Try howtodrawmanga[DOT]com and browse for tutorials.

SOUND:
I loved the voice acting!! It was crisp and matched its characters well! The storyline and dialouge was interesting (but WTF!-a dragon for an antagonist?! =p). Keep working hard!

VIOLENCE:
Not very graphic intensive and thrilling. The stiff animation took lots of the excitement from fight.

INTERACTIVITY:
Fun preloader. These should be a standard for movies.

HUMOR:
Wasn't laugh-out-loud funny in my opinion. Keep striving for quality dialouge. Though this wasn't an issue here, remember to use humor wisely so it'll not interfere with drama. It's a total mood killer.

OVERALL:
I tried to cover some of the prominent parts of your work for improvement and to provide some constructive crtiticism. Hopefully, you'll be aware of what I haven't covered. The flash basically (and obviously =p) suffered graphically. Improving your graphics will also help make your audiance more receptive to your plot and tone. Overall, the flash was mediocre (because the visuals screwed other aspects such as style and violence) but it was good crap and i'll be looking forward your future installments.

Forgive grammar and mispellings ^^; Follow-up Requested!

....oh kay

Okay here goes. First off, I think this movie has some potential if you work on a few areas. The graphics are quite poor. Not like scragly line poor or anything, just boring poor. On a better note the voice acting was superb. Better facial expressions and/or multiple angles would really spruce up the chatting scenes. The part where the guy planted the tracking device on the dragon was really static, after he just sat there in his ship. Very very boring. Other than that, you've got potential. Work on improving these points and you'll have an awesome movie.

Rhete responds:

Yeah, I felt there wasnt enough movement during the talking... I'll try and work on that in the future. Or just go all anime and add in long dramatic pans for no reason

Just needs alil bit better graphics

Besides the way people look every thing is cool. (And the dragon)

Very nice animation.

I really enjoyed this. It was longer than I expected, though. I didn't really like your characters' graphics, their heads seemed too circular. But the story and voices more than make up for that. If you improved your graphics, I'm sure you could get into the top 50 of all time.

Rhete responds:

Hey I said it was 14 minutes long in the author comments and I wasnt kidding :P

And yeah the heads are circles, they actually looked worse when I tried to curve it a bit to give them a chin

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!

Your graphics, your voices, and everything else make this one of the best submissions I have ever seen... it is truly incredible!

Cannot wait till the next episode... and make sure that it is JUST AS LONG or LONGER than this episode... it's lenth is one of your episode's strenghths!

GREAT JOB!

Rhete responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

As for the episode length... I doubt others will be as long as this one. It was originally going to be two episodes but the 2nd half wasnt long enough so I combined them, plus I hate cliffhangers
