Reviews for Mario vs. Santa

[Oldskoolkammy]

Oldskoolkammy Review.

---GRAPHICS---
Well, the entire episode wasn't drawn that well. I would suggest art classes, maybe.

---AUDIO---
Epic. Nuff said.

---HUMOR---
I don't see it in any of this, except the elf getting run over. Rudolph was my fav reindeer, too.

---VIOLENCE---
Epic battle between two hippos. What more could you want?

---POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS---
Possibly the beginning of a decent series. As I mentioned before, you should sharpen your drawing skills, and add some humor.

---OVERALL---
Nice start for your career as an animator. This movie wasn't really good, but it definitely wasn't that bad either, because I've seen way worse [Kitty Krew]. Can't wait for your next production. 6/10 and voted 3.

Gustavos responds:

That's cool.

I'm trying to make good progress with being a better artist, but I've had little luck. I'm trying to learn new techniques, but I can't figure out any. I rushed this movie a lot because I wanted it out before Christmas and lazyness wasn't helping. I'm working harder on my next movie right now. I'm confident it will be much better than this.

Thanks for good comments and constructive criticism.

Decent

I think it was a pretty decent movie for the first one, it was pretty funny with the fighting though.

Gustavos responds:

Thanks!

Nice history, bad visuals

The history was funny, but your visuals need some work. Starting with the letter font, it's very difficult to use that font and don't make the movie look bad. Also I didn't like the white font over back ground that your first two screens have.

In the movie itself, you shouldn't give clues at what does your images mean (I talk about the "It's a moon here"), your visual must be enough for the viewer to understand that (make it a little smaller and in a upper corner and it'll be OK)

About the art style, be consistent in the whole movie at the beginning Santa looked was really badly drawn (I suppose you wanted to show it's dark, but could have used the later model and use darker colors) while later it was better (but not good for my taste).

Anyway try to keep going. It's only your first flash.

Gustavos responds:

I understand, I'll get better. My art skills will be the things I wil try to improve the most

here's how I rated this

I started with a 5 and every minute I didn't enjoy, I deducted a point. I then gave it a zero. Animation was choppy (increase frame rate if you need), graphics were really bad (explore all the different tools in flash, maybe they will give you better results), music was kinda scratchy (find cleaner versions or lower the volume a little). I did like the little mario santa fight, the way mario moved was okay, but not great. The text at the beginning stays on too long, maybe you should make a Next button so its on only as long as one needs it. If you made the same movie with better sound, graphics, and animation, I would like it a lot. For encouragement, I shall give it a two instead. It is a nice effort, honestly, but it needs more. The knife was funny.

Gustavos responds:

I have to admit, you got some good points in there. But I'm just a beginner with little knowledge of art and certain limitations for good things. Although, there were things that could have fixed if it were'nt for carelessness. Sorry. Don't worry I'm getting better with flash.
