Reviews for "One Cowgasmic Christmas"

\m/

I liked this one. It's a very nice and short Christmas flash. The drawings are good and if Coop hadn't mentioned the overlines in his review, I wouldn't have noticed them ^^. I think it's okay if those lines stay there.

Sadly the sound quality of that last piece was quite low, too bad you couldn't get rid of those cracking noises there, as it hurts the movie a bit.

In my opinion the length of this movie is okay, as it is just a funny little movie for christmas and I think it is very entertaining :)

I might try to get rid of that static again.

Needs some work, but has potential!

Graphics/Animation: 6
As I base my scale from 1-10 in this off of the top flash submissions out there, anywhere from 5 to about 7 isn't a bad score. The animation isn't top of the line, but it isn't bad either. The only problem I really encountered with your drawing skills is the character movement, they basically just bounced around the screen. It's nothing you can't fix, you just have to add a little bit more detail to the characters when they're moving around the screen. Nothing you can't practice to help achieve higher schores!

Sound/Music: 6
You had around an 8 or so before I heard the music near the ending which was cracking a lot, so it kind of took away from your score in this department. Otherwise there were a couple of sounds that seemed a little off, but there was nothing too major to complain about here.

Humor: 7
This was actually pretty funny, I got a laugh out of it since there were cows....and Santa was a cow, and then since you called it a "Cowgasmic" Christmas, even the name scored you some love in the Humor department.

Originality: 9
The humor covered this for the most part, but cows during christmas was pretty damn funny, definitely unexpected. I also loved the mixture of Mortal Combat music with the Kill Bill type of vision when the cow heard something break.

Overall: 7/10
Definitely a good flash, just needs a few problems picked up here and there, once you fix the character movements and details up a bit, and clean up the sound you have a great flash. It doesn't have to be spectacular to net a high score, but compared to today's top 50 in the portal, it has to be damn good in these categories, and you have the potential...so use it! Great flash though, very original!

Imacow responds:

Nice review =P

I don't understand when you said they were "bouncing around the screen". I tried to fix the music, I might get back to that.

Thanks for the review.

Attention to detail required

Well, it is a short and sweet Xmas production. I think that the animation is fine in itself, but for my tastes, there are a few parts, which need greater attention to detail:

Fine detail. Where you did a close up of the cow's leg, I noticd that there is a black line that runs over onto the background. Then as he comes down the stairs, I noticed a lot more of these. Granted, they were further away, but it shouldn't take you too long to tidy these up, because that would make the overall finish look so much better.

The other thing was the sound quality of the Link music, which you used for the opening of the box. A little static crept in here and it would certainly help to get rid of that.

Still, your drawing is great, aside from the detail issue and with a little more effort, we'll see some good stuff from you :)

Happy Xmas.

Imacow responds:

Thanks, I dunno I kind of like that little overline, it can make it look stylish sometimes.

Also, I tried realy hard to get the static out, but I wound up keeping it like it is now. Originally the sound was really messed up.

Thanks for the review, Merry Christmas.

Not bad

Short, a little inunderstandable, but good. Make it a little longer. Good Idea w/ the cows

Imacow responds:
