Nice
This was really good for a first Flash, but there were some problems that you should address in the sequel:
1. Try and use more than one sound effect throughout the whole movie
2. Some background music would be nice
3. You mispelled 'massacre' in the title
4. Maybe add more of a plot
I thought it was a good Flash, especially for a first, but those are some things that you can improve on next time.
7/10

ill fix the plot soon, and the music, well i simply could not find a good song, and the sound effects, i dont know how to get any free, any help?
Cool
Nice one dude really good work for your first. I remember the first time I tried flash and well...it was also the last time xD. Would be cool to see the sequel and I hope this passes judgement. I'll vote a 5 to help it on its way. And 6 stars since it's a cool little animation.
man thanks, im trying to do better, and i appreciate everyone helping me, and i surprised that this passed! alright, all work harder next time, and i open to anyone wanting to help
This will get blammed but..
Keep it up, my first flash was even worse than this :p
hmmm...
first thing when submitting a stick flash - make sure it's great.
I mean, people see sticks and they go "oh. Sticks."
From here on out, you're in for a tough ride with the audience.
I suppose the following tips may help:
-this one works in general - make sure your background is on a background layer, and, if you're using sticks, you might just want to make a simple, but nice looking background. This whole paint-brush tool thing you're doing... well, it doesn't work for ME at any rate. I would prefer lines with a few light gradients towards the edges for highlights, anyday.
-make sure the animation is fluent, or at least well done. People don't mind less frames if the actual drawing or stances make sense. This is especially important for stick animations, as people will be thinking "come on, you could have drawn more frames for that, jeez, they were JUST stick figures!"
This is one that I would highly recommend in the case of using many characters on one screen.
-make your world a living, breathing thing. Don't have static characters that do nothing, and I mean NOTHING, until the stick character comes and attacks them. Have them smoking a cigarette, or just talking lightly with another stick figure (miming, of course... you don't want to take the attention away from the main stick character)
It makes the animation as a whole look a lot more interesting.
For a first animation, as a test of your current abilities, I can say "well, you've got basic animation down."
Do you know how to tween? Or Motion tween? Or how to use movieclips or graphic symbols? If not, I'd suggest looking up on them (well, when you're ready to move on from stick figures, anyway)
Good luck with that.
I'll give this a 5/10, 2/5... passable (compared to many other things on this site...) but not very great. I do, however, look forward to seeing what you might do in the future.
thanks, i understand the low score, its fine with me, im still trying to smooth things out with the sequel, im kinda busy though, but ill work on it soon
Please make a sequel
You must really work on your skills of animation, but I've never seen a stick fight against a giant stick before, so please make a sequel anyway. I don't understand why this submission must get through the portal to make it. Just put this at the begining of part two. This way it won't be so short.
ok thanks for the suggestion
