All I have to say is...
holy shit! That is some hardcore flash. Man, that just sent the graphics bar for flash movies up, like 10 notches.
Reviews for "Shoo Fly"
Un-fucking-believable
I literally spent the rest of the movie staring at the screen open-mouthed as soon as she went to get the flyswatter. I can't believe the quality of the graphics in this movie... and it's not even one of those pointless fighting scenes. It's flashes like these that inspire me to try to attain Pro-Animator status. Little chance you'll see this, as I'm sure dozens of people leave reviews every minute, but what was the framerate? I dunno if that's a trade secret, so you don't have to answer. But all my gushing aside, stellar job. Out of this world.
My long long review
Im a really big fan of you animations from FF A+ and well, to this one. The animation is really something, it mesmerizes you, i couldn't keep my eyes off the computer (seriously) I really love the style you use also. The animation is very smooth and you can't really find any graphical mistakes, even the lines and shades are nicely done while this girl is jumping around the house also with the additions of expression as time goes on. And i really notice, the way you use the music and the characters in this animation together. This is the big beauty of your animation, every beat of the music is part of a movement, and a good part, is how you make the music volume lower when it zooms out, and theres a bonk on the window with every beat. I believe that having a voiceless animation for this was the best choice, to have some kind of noise would ruin the animation in some way since the music generally is the sound effects as well as the music itself. I would like to rant about the people ranting about "americans and canadians" doing the asian stuff since it really stereotypes the asians as well, we're all humans, we have a right to do whatever we like and like whatever we want. I would say more but im running out of space.
OMG amazing
the animation, so perfect, shadows, great anime, everything, amazing.
'o'
Such talent!
There's such an amazing amount of effort that must have been put into this. The animation's beautiful and the song fits very well. It's great--we all go through this at some time or another, and I know I've lost a fly once or twice and had to stand and wait for it again. Love the different angles, especially the one from outside the window. Seems to give more of a sense of action to the short.
Just awesome all around.
