Well,
You have a point and you don't. Personally, if you are giving me constructive criticism, good or bad I'll accept it. But, when people are ignorant, hateful, unhelpful idiots as many are, then I assume they don't know what their talking about. And sadly, those people usually fall under the category of people with lack of flash. Otherwise, you have a point.
Ok?
I understand what you are saying, i experience this aswell, but this message should not have been presented through a flash.
A point.
You have a point, here. I've also heard the, "You didn't make a flash, so shut up," bit. I happen to be a Graphic Design student who spends more time on homework and a job than I do on animation.
Anyway... You're right - People don't HAVE to make a flash movie to know what looks good in one. A director of a film probably can't act worth crap, right? But he still knows what looks good, what doesn't, and what'll please the masses even if it isn't perfect.
In regards to this clip, I think you could have at least added a 'play' and 'replay' button onto the ends to make it a little more professional. Also, if you had a mic, you might have also read your text aloud and/or added footage of yourself ranting to make it a little more humorous or something.
I would, but my voice acting is awful. Besides, I would more likely break into laughter anyway.
I agree.
I just recently signed up at NG and started doing reviews and right off the bat I got criticized for lack of flash, being new, and even my taste in music. Thing is I've been coming here to watch and play flash practically since NG started I just never bothered signing up.
The thing is you shouldn't let it get to you, because you knew it was going to happen anyway. Now that flash is this huge phenomna and everyone and there dog is submitting movies you have to expect that some right a**holes (who are probably like 9 year olds i.e. RS players) are going to submit some crap and then get all offended when you give them a bad (but fair) review.
The thing about your movie is (no offence) it just comes off as whiney. I think it would have been more effective if you animated some examples or maybe even exagerated some of the memorable times this has happened to you.
kinda boring....
i prefer animation much better than words, and you kind of say the exact thing over and over again in different words.
I guess everyone has their opinion...
