This has been my first Flash movie ever. I created it back in 1997 with Flash 2(!) for the RealFlash Animation Festival. It had been a finalist then.

Very good from 1997, good graphics, good work...

Very cool stuff here. Imagine it's 8 years before Adobe Inc. buys Macromedia (who a year earlier had acquired the original software from FutureWave Software Inc. and shortened the name from "F(utureS)plash" to "Flash". Until July of '97 when Flash 2 released, sound was pretty much limited to background music in PC-based animation, because there was no way to sync it with the animation! The RealFlash Animation Festival, where this entry was in the final round, inspired the first generation of PC animators with several little gems like this. That makes this a part of our history that should be preserved.

This was... in a word, weird. It wasn't bad though. The humming noise and helmet to make it look and sound like a vibrator had to have been intentional, and the other effects added in gave it a dirty undertone, which made it funny since the flash itself was entirely fine, just a guy riding his scooter. It was a slow-moving flash otherwise, in fact the joke easily could have been condensed.

Nice and cute

~~REVIEW~~
I thought this was a nice little and cute flash, good design of the "CHARACTER" good animating and good art and backrounds, only problem i really had with it was that it was abit slow getting to the end. so maybe thats the problem with-in the story so maybe speed it up there cut a few parts here and there and there you go a much better preentation, which in the end will sufice. so good luck.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Speed up the story just abit, other then that it was notbad at all

~~OVERALL~~
good storry but seems to drag on

~X~

it was ok

The drawings and animaiton are nice the story is laid back, but it's ok too I suppose, I do have to say though, that both the character and the buzzing sound effect were eerily similar to a vibrator, was this your intention or was that just coincedental?
