a pair of dark laughs
First off I'd like to give props to potatoVodka for pointing out in his review that cigarettes don't actually make you high. I was simply shocked...SHOCKED...to discover such a blatent distortion of the truth. Imagine...something untrue inside a random comedic animation? It's blasphemy I say! Getting rich off of making a blanket out of a person was one thing, but this...for shame author, for shame...
But seriously folks either get a sense of humour or get off this site.
The truth is this was a funny and twisted pair of shorts and should be recognized as such.
Graphics: The animation was above par, using character models consisting of individual overlapping moving shapes. It's also important to note that the author made a visible effort to properly lip sync all his characters (albeit not perfectly, but close enouth).
But the strong point of these shorts is definitely the backgrounds. Very soft and forgiving hues combined with above average levels of details. Overall a decent job
7.5/10
Sound: A decent choice of musical selections with excellent soundand voice quality. As for the voice acting, the kids voices were a little annoying, but overall fairly well done. And the few sound F/X used were used in the right places. Again, a decent job.
7.5/10
Premise: Great material for a sardonic comedy (i.e. black humour). A decent mixture of parody (poking fun at 'scare tactic' announcements), simple witty commentary and overall twisted themes. This was easily the flash's strong point. Great work.
8.5/10
Overall I'm fairly impressed with this work, and if you've got a jaded outlook on life and are in need of a laugh, then this is the flash for you.
8/10
Keep up the good work McBean.
