I enjoyed this, you got a real talent for this sorta thing. Unspoken stories are always good to watch. Your art style was a bit awkward, especially the zoom in on the legs where they were crossed before he took off, but improvement is the spice of animation, and i honestly couldn't make a flash to save my life, so the quality was good. The music was a good choice, though if i may offer a suggestion, maybe a few songs between different emotions instead of just the one would have made it awesome. Great work, and a fave for your account. I can't wait to see what you come out with next!
Reviews for "Hero"
urbfilms responds:
Thanks man! It means so much!
I'm a bit mixed here. Although I did enjoy the story and the animation, I have to say that the design of the buildings, items, and characters are a bit lazy at times. Also the pacing on this was a bit fast, right when I saw the scientist grab the jet pack and saw the bomb at the bank I already knew how the rest of this story was going to play out. I can appreciate animation that can tell the whole story without words, but I think this would have been suited with some voice acting. There are no sound effects, which I think there should have been, plus the music although good, didn't fit with the animation. I still liked it though, the story was really sold me on it, even though the pacing wasn't done well.

Thank you for the honest review. I was aware of the pacing, but didn't know how to make it better. And yeah, I just liked the song, but I can see how it doesn't fit. Also for the backgrounds, I don't have photoshop, so I had to draw it with flash, which was terrible. Thanks for the review!
This has the be the best animation I have ever seen. It has amazing animation and a great story. This totally deserves 5 stars!!
urbfilms responds:
Thank you so much Doug! You're a pretty awesome animator yourself!
While the art style and animation was lackluster (the explosion as an example), I still feel that this was very enjoyable. I finished watching it with a smile on my face, so that's a major point for writer, despite the lack of dialogue. So as far as animation goes, it gets a couple points for not being terrible, and as far as the animation being overall alright, I give it a 3.5!
I don't see you winning NATA this year, but keep it up and I can see you going places.
urbfilms responds:
Thank you for the review! Yeah, I don't expect to make it in the Novice Round, but at least I tried something new, and that's what matters to me!
Pretty funny, if you ask me. In a good way, of course.
A lot less quality from the rest of yours, though...
urbfilms responds:
Oh no, on the youtube version, it has higher quality for some reason. Also, you can change the quality of the movie by hitting that little gear in the corner of the video.
