Yeah it sounds like you did the music
Ok first rule in animation their are no rules... everything goes No one style is better maybe with age and wisdom you will learn that. But now on to your flash try some actual animation and not motion tweening it all and if you must motion tween at least do it right look at toons like from my room for direction you. But first take that stick out of your butt and lighten up..
Sigh
The reason I gave humor a "10" was because all the people at my job were sobbing uncontrollably from laughter at the horrible voice acting. It makes Eskimo Bob sound like Shakespeare!
Also you ned to learn how to pick up the pace! Watch Stick Slayer 6 to see what pace your next movie should be. Imagine 5 minutes of that and that's my next movie. Let's see... 1 hour work per shot, 243 shots, 5 minutes. THAT'S a good pace. 15 minutes work per shot, 13 shots, 5 minutes. That's a slowwwwwwwww movie.
Keep trying!
243 shots in 5 minutes? That's horrible direction! That's even beyond MTV video editing! Hahah, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I have 75 shots in Arrogancy 3, which is right on pace for any type of non-music video production.
Out of all the movies on Newgrounds, Stick Slayer would be the LAST thing that I'd want to emulate. Tighten up your art and anatomy and ease up on the gradients, PLEASE. You're breaking every rule of graphic design an aesthetics when you make EVERYTHING a gradient. Don't use music so recognizable as Gladiator - create your own if you can, or find something that everyone doesn't already know. And it would be a good idea to lighten up on the action. Take these suggestions to heart, and you'll get the respect of the more mature crowd.
Aaron, you are one of the best...
This movie shows the immense potential that Flash can have as a creative medium. Keep the good stuff coming! Show the stick animators what REAL Flash is all about!
yeah..... you know what would be great?
why is everything in tht movie slow-mo? I mean, the fight scenes... slow motion. why? it would have a better effect if everything went faster. cool move though. too slow!!!
That was good but still.
We're the team that made the vampire Hunter cartoon and we saw your post on the Forum board and your review of us (which i might say is good compaired to other reviews you've given:) so we decided to check out all your cartoons to see what was up. We like the art it was done with a lot of style. The story we won't comment on because it's not our style it's good just now our style. But any how our views on cartoon are completely different as you've noticed. Still not a bad movie and it's nice to see some more art driven storys rather then the same old stickfigure stuff. This should have a place on the top 50 we figure but then we care little about score and are happy just to have people see out stuff. But the way you talk we thought you where a really great animator who had been working with flash for years and years and were older and wiser then us... turns out your younger and have beening doing it for less time then we have.. but oh well our styles don't mix but still your a young animator and are prone to mistakes like all of us. Word of advice this is what you would sould like to most people you review
"nothing in your cartoon is exsactly very special your art isn't as clean as it could be actually it's rather slopy at time as if it where just a colored scetch. Your music could also be improved it sounds like it was made on a keyboard that had the bass drums button stuck. The animation was good though the use of scrolling could have been shorter. Still these are all mistakes made by young none experianced flash animators. On a finaly not Work on your story timeing it seem off which makes the movie drag on but you might learn in time"
We could have said all the above and just left it at that but we really like your animations and the mistakes above aren't mistakes really but your style. We did it to snap you back into realily who cares if your on the top 50 or if people use swift to add to their cartoons. We all work hard to make these things even the people just starting to make stick figures. So stop being so bitter Just keep makeing flash movie the way you do and we here and INA promise you will at least always have our team as fans.
I'm not younger than you guys; I'm 23 years old (unless you're older than that). If you're talking about the Smash Bros X. credits - I said I thought of the IDEA at that age.
I thought that Vampire Hunter INA (?) was a decent effort, but the art and animation could have used a bit of work (there was a complete lack of frame by frame - and the look of FBF is always superior to motion tweening). The action and plot was a bit juvenile in my opinion; but like you said...different tastes.
The music was made to accompany the voices. Once you take the voices out - the music sounds bland - that is because it was scored to match the movie with voices intact.
Thanks for the review, and I'll be interested in seeing how you improve in the future.
