Reviews for "Picard Song"

Hm, not bad.

The animations were obviously half-ass.
But there are several things worth watching in this flash. The timing for every...picture (?), was perfect, so at least you didn't make a complete fool of the graphics. The song was somehow quite catchy and funny, and, while I hate to admit this, I almost got hypnotized! Sadly, I couldn't watch it to the end, the song got lame after a while. But I couldn't make it to the end, it got boring after a while :/. But good show, I enjoyed it for what it was worth!

CorellonL responds:

:D Yeh, art's not my strong point, and I don't have a tablet. The timing was the hardest part. The end is nothing really speical, and I think the last gem was the part where Picard is unclothed and says "Uhh, you'll have to call again. I'm... not dressed properly." :D Thanks for the positive reviews on what really counts for me, I know I'm a bad artist.

Nice

that was a good song but you probably could have drawn it better on paint.
besides it reminded me of just how nerdy startrek accualy is.
but i liked it so draw better next time but it was over all good. l8er

CorellonL responds:

Don't worry, I'll redraw it.

Average

Graphics: The graphics weren't that well drawn, but atleast you can tell who/what they are :P Design is definately needing improvement here, in characters and other objects, and try adding a background.

Style: The animation was stiff, try using the ease feature, which would help smooth it out. You synced in time with the music well though =]

Sound: Sound was fine, nothing bad here, good syncing.

Violence: None

Interactivity: None

Humour: Most of the humour was brought about by the song, but you used some of the lyrics well to get a laff =]

Overall: Umm, this needs to be better drawn, and there are tutorials to help you with that, though you don't have to follow them and you can try to get your own style going, but you should follow the great tutorials NG has about animating, they could really help in your submissions.

CorellonL responds:

Thank you, I actually did learn everything I know from the NG tutorials, I would be lost without the All-In-One Tutorial Part I. The disambiguation of your score certainly helps. And I WILL draw it better this weekend.

I see good concepts...

the art of course needed work, I would have work on getting a better sound quality version of the song, too.

I wouldn't let something stay on screen without moving that much... like your people, they could have moved limbs around a little, or even have PIcard just sort of look around, have some facial expression changes simply by tweening eyes, mouth, and eyebrows.

the actual jokes were funny, but like with the hypnotic spinny thing, you could ahve had that fade in over the words, and then have like when the people were spinning, have them move around the screen, getting smaller and larger, all while still spinning in that one direction. and then you can have both people spinning around.

it was good when there was something in the song, like the truth speech, the love speech, or the Hypnotic speech, but for the 'choruses' for the animation, there needed to be more variation.

I did like the thing you did with the kick in the latter half.

this may very well get blammed due to evil people on NG and the admitably sub-par animation, but don't be dishearted. A) NG is a cruel place, B) your jokes are funny, just work on the art.

also, look for shortcuts. you could always have drawn Picards head and shoulder instead, thereby making him look more normal, and spending more time on facial movements and such, and then for the hypnotic moving part, just have his head moving around, which can be even funnier, if done right.

all in all, good, but you may have to re-do this.

5/5

CorellonL responds:

Damn, that was helpful. Thanks, mate. I'll definitely work on the art this weekend.

Meh.

Both the quality of the audio and that of the overall animation was pretty poor. And seeing that you didn't even make the audio, and that it's already quite a popular meme, you only really get credit for the animation, which wasn't great.

You speak of taking a long time dedicated to this, but a week is hardly anything, especially if this is the end result.

CorellonL responds:

True, true, I don't want credit for the audio, although I do find it to be epic. Thanks for your input, though! :)
