Reviews for Where the Missing Sock Go

[Fro]

Pretty good.

First off sorry for the short review. I'm doing this on a schedule and they have to be done soon. :P

Animation/Graphics - The graphics weren't the best. Not terrible, but not the best. I do think they could be worked on a little bit. The animation though was done very well. Good job on that.

Story/Content - The concept was really good. Perhaps just a little simple, but there isn't anything wrong with simple. Some pretty good humor all around.

Audio - The music that you used was a great choice and sounded very good with the animation. Perhaps the transition of the audio could have been a little better, but not too bad.

Overall - Not too bad. An enjoyable flash. I wish I could have more time to go into depth with my review, but sadly I don't have the time.

Enlightened Surrealism

What a remarkable concept! Such a well devised plot about something so simple, that many people have overlooked it. I like the way that the plot for the sock itself develops like with certain Indiana Jones movies. Perhaps you could have developed that a little more, with some sort of dialogue for the Ogre and the sock, as they clearly have some issues.

When you draw, try zooming in more, to give yourself better control of the cursor, as it will improve the overall finish of your characters and will make the animations look smoother and better finished.

I loved the call back to the laundrette, as lots of people would have missed that out at the end, since it was just a vehicle to start the story. Perhaps we can see this taken a little further, by showing us what exactly goes on in Sockland?

Oh and for the grammar of the title, it should read "Where the missing sock goes", or "Where the missing socks go." Just so you know.

OxSox responds:

Yeah the title in the actual flash is "Where the missing socks go" the title had to be truncated for newgrounds to the character limit on titles. I really should have just thought up a new title ("A Sock's Odyssey, maybe?), but thanks for noticing that.

I'll try to work on the detail of the artwork, as you suggested.

I was sort of halfheartedly batting the idea of sequel around, which would focus more on sockland, but I'm not sure if I could stomach another sock related project.

Thanks for the review!

Good movie

A good movie and a very good theory about the "disappearing socks" problem. The only loophole in this theory may be the question: Who takes the socks out of the machine?

Anyway, I liked the background in the aundromat with the mirror-inverted letters on the window. This was a nice detail.

The rest of the graphics are pretty good. They are not always the best, but it's nice to look at them. :)

The story was good. Maybe the pace of the narrating was a bit too slow sometimes, but it was definitely worth the wait. The final "battle" against that orc/troll was very funny.

Oh, and I also liked your various theroies you had in the preloader. This was a nice idea to place them there. It gives the viewer something to look at while he/she's waiting for the movie to load.

OxSox responds:

Well I suppose it could be the inhabitants of sockland who use the hook, but your right its not very well explained, it really is just a device for the rest of the story.

Otherwise thanks for the in-depth review, I'm glad you liked the movie!

Nice!

It's got this mysterious sense of humour, mystery and action in it, which is good! It went really well with the music (well done) and the animation was pretty good (and smooth)! Well done, keep it up!
