Easy to fix...
a) don't use "smooth" when using the pencil tool
or
b) do the lines one at a time like I do.
Nice bit of animation tho.
Reviews for "Flash Pet Peeves: #1"
funny, but a lot people misunderstand
I really liked the movie, but when I read reviews for it and people have crap to say about him not knowing how the use the program, they obviously are slow to get things.
First of all the joke about the pencil tool is the over smoothing, not the smoothing it self, and second it is pretty clear if he made the movie he is really not have that much of a problem with the program.
Keep up the good work on your movies flying_penguin.
Not Bad
A cute little movie. Maybe not worthy of a B+ rating. If you would of made it longer and added more pet peves like for example when you create a motion tween on a layer, you cant create another one right after it because it will turn into that object. Just make it longer and it will be worthy of my vote. Good job.
Top dollar animator! But...
Basically I found the graphics in the movie stunning. To think someone could do that with flash, which belive me is beyond standard BBC level, is seriously good. However, I found the title quite misleading, as I expected it to be some sort of virtual pet piece of shite. Then the lack of any music seemed to dumb it down a bit, as well as that aaargh! sound being very annoying, hammy and generally out of place. It was quite funny, especially the face getting completely screwed up by the program, but it didn't seem to have much of a point, didn't seem relevant to anything and generally appeared cheap. If your planning on making a series of this same theme: DON'T, because the scores will get progressively lower very quickly. It was pretty stylish, so maybe you could get a mate in the future to help with themes and storylines, mixing your humour? Someone like me, full of ideas and hopeless and actually animating (not actually ME though, I'm too lazy). Keep it up, I wanna see more fuck-off class cartoons!
Use a Wacom tablet...
...and then hit the little INK modifier when you're using the pencil tool.
AS for this little movie...GOLD!!!!
