Funny, but...
Ya it is too short, and makes no sense... but thats what random movies like this are all about right?
Reviews for "Fire Safety and You!"
Hey Dan..
Get over yourself.
Good concept, but...
Hmmm... this is difficult to judge.
I can say the graphics were too simple, or the audio wasn't that great, but then again I believe that was at least somewhat done on purpose, so the main thing I will judge is the actual humor ( interactivity gets the standard movie rating... 1 for pushing play... and violence I gave a few points since you threatened fire, and had someone on fire... LOL ).
The jokes themselves were pretty good, just poorly executed. I think in order to do them well, you would have had to treat them more "seriously" and let the sheer sarcasm of it all deliever the laughs.
Guys that tell silly jokes and say things like "oh, I crack myself up", or "man, that was funny wasn't it?"... erm... they kind of ruin the overall punch of the joke. I think it's better when you deliever the lines well, and just let the crowd decide for themselves if it's funny.
Overll, I liked the "if you see a fire, punch it in the face" and "stop, drop, and rock 'n' roll" jokes the best. However, other than a slight smile, it wasn't that funny. This wasn't too bad for a little animation, but I think if you polished up your voice acting a bit, it could very well be solid.
Pretty good stuff, man, just needs a little work.
...
Well this was well done for what you have included in this, i mean you could have added afew more jokes about fire in here, you only gave us i think only four. You did do a good job with the four shorts you gave, although i thought the first one was probably your best. The voice over work may have had a crummy transfer but i think you did that on purpose because of the whole style you were going for. Overall a good watch, i did laugh so it worked.

Yeah, I purposely compressed the audio a little too much to give it the old movie quality effect.
Also, thanks for the suggestions!
lol! that was funny
Wow that was really funny. This was a good movie, the only thing i'd complain about is the kinda badly drawn fire and the length
The Goods
*Funny, really clever and halarious, originality is present.
*I like the screen too like an old timey ermmmmm movie player thingy
*I like the narration, the guy talks to himself "heh that's i'm really clever" lol
*Great loading screen, on some animations its looped and you can see that...(a pause for like 2 seconds). Yours either is really lengthy or really good
The Bads
*The artwork could use a little bit of work(not that i'm complaining,yes i am but still)
*Length! Maybe in the future take a month or two to make a good animation instead of little tiny animations...waiting for a big thing is better than waiting for a 30 second clip.
All in all great job, it's nice to see good animations are present here by people who aren't famous yet on NG.
Cold responds:
Thanks for the suggestions!
I think the next one will definitely be longer (and better quality hopefully). This one was kind of an experiment. Plus I have a short attention span.
Also sorry about the art quality. I'm still trying to hone in my art skills, because yes I realize that I still pretty much suck in that area. =/
