Reviews for "Monster's Dream"
good > bad > medium
NIce flash no dialog. it could use sim dialog and could be a little longar. but other wis good.
Good for a dream sequence.
This movie was a real creative piece of art and it was a bit jumbled together like a dream should be. Let me start with the animation.
Admittedly, the animation was a bit iffy. The movements of the character didn't seem to flow as well as it should have. The running animations seemed alright, but some movements seemed a bit off, for instance when hes teetering over the cliff. Some of the movements seemed just a tad jerky, like when he lands after being blasted away. The animation didn't hinder the movie too much as a whole, Its just there could be a few improvements.
Now the art pretty much more than makes up for what I said about the animation. When I pay attention to the art more, it seems more like an art film. I can tell this is a major part of the movie you focused on. The backrounds were fantastic. They definitely created a surreal dream world. The colors went along perfectly with the whole style of the movie. I loved the main character, who fit along with the whole piece as well as the giant pyramid.
About the whole dream; the events that occur are pretty random like in a real dream. However, it seemed to move along a little too fast, more so than in an actual dream. Again, it didn't really hinder the movie a whole lot, I just think there could be some brushing up.
Overall, the art was great; the animation and writing was alright but needed a couple improvements. It was a great piece the whole way through and I hope to see some more of your work in the near future. ;-)

thanks for taking the time to write an all around constructive and helpful review :D
animationwise, ill keep improving, i hear what your saying. in the future i'll try to iron out the Frame by frame so there isn't any jerkyness.
for the art, thank a bunch :3 i spent a lot of time on that actually, so i'm glad you enjoyed.
as for the whole dream, sorry about the randomness, just trying to get a dream feel going. but in the future i'm sure there will be more structure.
thanks again and good luck with your submissions as well, (going to go watch them now :3

bad communication design
Regarding to the headline this movie is a big failure. If we plan to make a movie about a monsters dream, than it would be a movie about death and rape and armageddon.
This is a common dream... nothing special about it. The job/headline could be called "igdebards dream" or something. But not a monsters dream, that´s very wrong. Splits so to say the designers from the artists, hehe :)
Anyways, good movie, but I highly recomment to think and understand before doing. You made it too easy for you, so I give you only on a scale from 2 to 12 with 8 as max score and 1 as lowest score a 7 out of 9.
animatorjones responds:
wo, i think ill have to read this review again to fully take it all in.
as for the title, or headline as you call it. Not every monster is filthy and evil. One side of this movie shows the innocence of the "blue monster" because no one knows of him really (except the few really old school flash forum guys from the "flash battle" days... so he's not your average "rape and armageddon" kind of monster. as for "igdebards dream" the monster is nameless so there you go, had to be "Monster's dream" not to mention if you saw before you watched it was rated "E for Everyone, 0 violence etc..."
haha thanks for the interesting review though :D (not sure it was really "easy" for me. but a 7 out of 9 in your books works for me :D
