Reviews for "Jurassic Stick"

= They wouldn't of got much of a meal out of him anyway, he would taste like a red stick with no meat.

With the another stickman story, it would be fair to say this is a "part time" scientist who forgot to put on his white coat, i would question if they get one in his size for a skinny guy, this scene begins on a not so nice rainy day, don't they always?
What's wierd is that the dinosaurs look like dinosaurs, i guess that's mainly because sticksaurs
just wouldn't cut for the final feature look.

For an Action animation this was pretty well done, capturing the feel of the pursuit as much as it interest the conditions the character is put in, the animation had some very good moments with good looking effects and compelling atmospheres, the sound quality was brilliant, however the stickman hasn't got a mouth, even a Mime can make more sounds than this character can.
the animation, well yeah.....it's a stickman, so it's simplified but still alot of good effort in the motion was endured in making it effective, such as the top perspective shots, this all adds up for an experienced outcome for the animation.

I voted this piece a '4' but I'm going to rate it 3.5, for reasons explained below.

Advantages:
-Exciting introduction, holding suspense, generally nailed the Jurassic Park atmosphere.
-Impressive animation, expressive movement patterns.
-Objectively good sound effects.
-Very humorous and well-played twist with the credit music at the end. Good job there.
-Love those abstract camera angles (top-down, from the floor, etcetera) Very filmy.

Disadvantages:
-This could have been longer. Try spreading the scenes out, make movements slightly slower.
-You should really have credited the author of Jurassic Park: the Book, since the film was crediting that. The book is also better than the film (subjectively).
-As has already been mentioned, the stick figure (red) is a bit too bulky, and should be more detailed. I find it difficult to get into this animation when a huge red blob is running across the screen.

Overall:
I think this animation was really rather entertaining - it certainly deserved the prize of third place in the contest it was made for - but it lacks that spark, that passion, that really makes a flash clip brilliant. The piece holds potential, certainly, and with some extra work, more effort and a bit of help (god forbid) it would earn five stars from me any day of the week. Keep at it.

to short no action and no story your lucky i dont give you lower

i liked it but ik was quit predictable

An interesting stick film

something different here especially with the dinosaurs themed, nice sounds and even some good music there at the end some really fun visuals and I really like how it trancends into each new moment a film all on its own you have some good ideas and good to go, you have some nice elements of fun in this stick film and was pretty glad to have found this little adventure.
