This is my second flash movie. For Information Technology we were asked to create a short animation on promoting safety in the I.T. workplace. I based mine on electrocution. It was a bit rushed; I did the whole thing in about 2 weeks, and I still do have a lot to learn about Flash.
The music used is a cropped version of 'Summertime' by Errol Garner.
Sweet :)
Sweet flash animation keep it up the great work.
Not Bad/Good.
Yeah, well basically every aspect of the movie was somewhere in between. That is expectable for a second flash.
Animation: Speaking about overall animation quality, it was basic, but good enough to make the scenes understandable. Basically, it's the animation style that non-talented people usually use. You could of worked more on the backgrounds, they were utterly boring and expressionless. And the framerate was rather choppy, too.
Audio: The least good part of them all. The only track was played in the beginning. It itself was rather bad too.
It would've definitely helped if, that one track, would've played through the entire movie. Sound effects would have also been a good addition.
Storyline: Nothing too original or creative here. A very simple chain of events which ultimately result in death. 'Warning' flashes deserve respect of course, that with the 'noble effort' and all, but I really think that this would've been a lot more effective if it would have had much better overall quality.
Overall: A decent effort, as I said, in between good and bad. You have much to improve, and I think that, with some more practice, your skill will greatly improve.
Good luck.

Thanks! Great review. Much appreciated
It started well...
But ended weakly. I think the animation style was good in the beginning, right up to the point of tripping... The falling down and the head presumably dead could have been better animated.It lacked a sharpness, and was a bit floaty.
Could also have benifited from a few sound effect to give the information a bit
more impact. Not too bad for you second though.
Bethamalaka responds:
Yeaa, I think my frames-per-second could have been a bit quicker, but then the movie would only go for about 5 seconds. Could you tell me how I can make it sharper? maybe making his arm a bit more jerky and realistic?
I was originally going to put all the sound effects in (typing, computer turning off, falling down etc) but the microphones we had at school weren't good enough to record anything :(
But next I might try to lip synch a character to sound..
ummmm.....
ummm a powerplug?
Bethamalaka responds:
Haha ..yeaa i couldn't think of anything else... a lot of people did cups of coffee spilling onto the keyboard or sticking forks into the dvd drive.
