Too predictable. The gun is good, the gun is goooooddd!
Reviews for "Surprise!"
Narg responds:
This is my first serious..ish movie, and the story is a bit flawed as it's a six-or-something-minute animation built around a simple gag. And thanx for liking the gun, I spent a loooooot of time on it.
Good job
The graphics were good, for stick figures (over-used, but hey, still works). I thought the music went along with the video perfectly and I loved the voiced acting. I think you strayed from you're point when you when on about how people are spending their money on fast-food though.
In the end I give you a 7 for this piece of work. I don't agree with you're end message (guns only lead to trouble if you're stupid about them. Taking a LOADED gun to work is really, really stupid....), but hey to each their own.
Narg responds:
I did stick figures because at that stage I was still learning (Well, we're ALWAYS learning, ooh deep and meaningful, ok I'll shutup now) and I didn't feel too confident doing...ummmm...non-stick figure characters. Thanks for the comment about the voice acting, I thought Doug (voice of Jon) didn't do a great job, some people have said things about that. I had to put the 'Fuck Da Corporation' bit in for personal reasons, and to allow Jon to sneak up, and also to establish Bob as very bitter and cynical. Also, I stand by my statement that guns are not cool. You say that they lead to trouble only if people are stupid with them. But people are bound to be stupid, it is inevitable. Maybe it's cuz here in Australia guns are illegal and I kinda grew up with that. I don't understand why I've written such a long response to this particular review, I'd better shutup now. Bye, and thanx.
Not bad...
Not bad. Personally I think stick animations are overdone and are old and tired by now, and should be having a nice long rest in the grave, but I liked this one. The sticks had animation to them, instead of flat lines. Like you, I'm a lazy perfectionist, and so I wont be coming out with a flash for a year or maybe more, and I hope it's well recieved like this one, but I gotta tell you, you shoulda spent more time on the lip syncing. Not just the times that the mouths open and close, but also on shape. I think the Flash Bros. have a few tutorials on thier site that are useful for that. On top of the mouthing issue, there are other ways to lure a person to a location than just gunpoint, esp. in an office, but then that'd ruin your plot line. Other that those 2 things, I can't complain. Good Job, and keep it up!
Narg responds:
Whoa, long review! Thanx, I didn't lip-synch becuase I didn't know how, but I will in my future movies. As for you being a lazy perfectionist, it's a damn sight better than those idiots who crap out shit movies every ten minutes. You do your thing dude.
even the loding screen was cool!
