^^Good Points^^
Well, interesting use of sound effects. Not sure I really liked it or not, but I'll put that up here regardless. Not a bad idea of having a cherry and a blueberry to avoid complicated animation and drawing.

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, I would improve the animations. The framerate in this movie seemed pretty low, and overall the animations were not smooth. Also, some parts were drawn out too long. Like the guy getting killed with the sword and also the opening title screen.

it was pretty good

I liked the blueberry and cherry idea and I liked the voicover good job guys

meh

not too good or bad.... the halo idea is getting a bit old now.

Ahem...

3/10 for graphics - Not good, but not bad either... They were choppy and slow.

1/10 for style - Overdone, and not good. Life exists outside of videogames, and they make shitloads of better flashes than crap like this. Even sprites make more of an effort to produce a good storyline than just your idea of portraying your vast superiority in the Halo2 world... Much like CS flashes... this was a stupid waste of time.

1/10 for sound - it wasn't in sinc with the video and you kept clipping. Look up Digital Distortion and learn how to prevent it.

5/10 for violence. I give people with violence in their films 5 right off the bat. I give them more if it was either tastefull, poetic, or funny. Yours was just senseless.

0/10 for interactivity - there wasn't any. nuff said. Doesn't matter either.

0/10 for humor - like interactivity, there just wasn't any. Only this did matter.

Other notes for improvement: Don't make flashes like this without a point. For Instance, Red Vs. Blue portrayed the story of two armies "fighting" for superiority of a boxed in canion. Even if the humor was pointless, it still had a story. Put your team into a situation... A constant struggle or something.

You also struggle with the concept of "fast moving films..." A GOOD movie or show doesn't leave the same joke on the screen for more than 5 seconds. Humor occurs in the first 3 seconds of a joke. Family Guy style "fuck something up and stare at the screen in silence for 10 seconds to fill time because we have no material." is only comedic genius for family guy, and it gets old fast.

I can guarantee you won't be getting very many followers or good reviews if you don't start puting more effort into your flashes than this.

Take Vega's ideas and learn from them... The point of his review was to tell you that THIS idea and flash, was bad. I agree with him. HOWEVER, We wouldn't have bothered telling you this unless we thought you could improve... So don't bitch at us because we see something in you... Bitch at the people who aren't trying to help.

well...

first off I'm hoping to hell you look up the word xenocide. I't means the killing or destruction of anything foreign especially used in terms of nationality.

Second gave you a low score because it really wasn't anyhting new. I mean ever since clock crew showed people have been resorting to the base tactic of taking an inanimate object and putting simple features and hands to them. Develop your own style.

Frankly I'm tired of all the random, slow, and barely thought out battle animations on here. I'ts easy to make two sides and have them randomly shoot at eachother or stab eachother. Put some work into developing a plot or at least some kind of comedic timing.

Now the nice stuff. You have talent in animation you just need to find your own way to express yourself.

Vega out.
