Pretty Funny
That movie was awkward but I liked it.
It was kind of random which I consider a good thing.
If you could,make it longer.

Meh, this was just a Sunday Afternoon thing I just had to get done.
It wont be getting updated, but longer, more random flashes will be getting created.
Thanks for the review.
Ahahah, nice one :D
Well, this flash was sort of borderline for me (untill the ending)... and I think that to improve the initial attention-grabbing factor of the movie, you could've spent a bit more time making the graphics look better - more artwork, smoother drawings, etc.
I liked the song you used, because A: It's a favourite of mine (by Goldfinger) and B: the really happy mood of the song went well with the facial expression of the guy running through the snow. I thought that it was all 'la-dee-da' right up untill he fell, which made me chuckle.
You build up to the ending well - because you didn't make him fall too quicky and abruptly end the movie, and you didn't drag it out for too long making it boring and rendering the ending un-funny.
Considering this was only your second flash, with limited flash experience, you've done well. Keep practicing, and shoot me an email when you next send something into the portal!
JoelSem responds:
I would email you if I managed to get your email, lol.
Mines Joelsem@hotmail.com, add me to your MSN if you have one.
Thanks for all of the feedback!
And the quick, random stuff is what You should be looking forward to in my future flashes.
Thanks for the review : )
Pretty good
My only problem with this was your choice of music. You were right for picking a song in the Happy Hardcore genre, but "99 Red Baloons Remix" seemed out of place, because the animation had nothing to do with the lyrics.
JoelSem responds:
I just needed a happy hardcore song, and it was already on my computer, so I used it : )
Thanks for the review.
ROFL!
That was great. You sir are a great flash maker. At first I thought nothing was gonna happen, and then man that was funny!!! Good graphics, great style, like the music, fit well with the flash, lol good on violence, humor ... LOVED IT!!! Good Job!
^Emu
P.S.- Second flash! WOW! How is it that good! Ive done like 20, all gotten blammed! So keep making more!
JoelSem responds:
Hah! Thanks for the review!
That's good to know that you liked it!
And yeah, this is my second, and trust me, more are to come : )
ROFL
at first i was just sitting there... omg this is gona get blammed, but then i thought, hmm nice start up. Then the music was kind of annoying becuase i thought that you were going to totally make it crappy. it was kind of slow but when he started running... BOOM! tripped, i laughed my ass off! i rarely get that kind of laugh, very nice, i voted 5 becuase of the perfect timing of that fall. i was laughing like, omg is he gona get up!? very nice. Now on how to improve.
Smoother Animation: When he turned you could have added 1-3 more parts so it looked like he actually turned around. The running was pretty good, the character design could have EASILY been better, so next time work for about a day looking for designs and thinking about it. Decide what would be best that you could still animate well.
Music was kind of quiet, i could hear it but it sounded like a bad microphone recording. could have been a bit longer also, maybe added 2 more ways that would make us laugh.
JoelSem responds:
Thanks for the tips!
Lol, I made it look all shitty at the beggening, it makes the end that much better.
The graphics.. Well, I worked on this for two hours. It was kinda a rush project, I just wanted it done.
I've had a total of maybe.. 22 hours of flash experiance, so I still need to expand my abilities on flash too.
About the turning thing, that was an experiment, and I'm happy that you commented on it.
I had to reduce the sound file quality, it went from 256kbps down to 32kbps, so alot of data was lost. It reduced the file size from 2,000 kb down to 200.
Thanks for the review, and your welcome for the laugh.
