Animation, VA, and quality are just okay. You did a very nice job.

bleh!
This, while passable as a flash, was not very well put together. The lack of lip sync was a constant and very noticeable flaw with the video. It's as if you didn't even try. Each character had a default flash design/picture that they reverted to way too many times. The half of the main character's presence in the video was that one shot of him in that one weird lopsided pose. The jokes were few and far between, and they weren't very good anyways. The masculine grandma was an eyesore that I dreaded to see in this animation. The "be a pussy" joke was one of the worst I have ever heard, and the worst part was how fast it progressed. It should not have been 5 minutes. But by far the most disappointing was the utter lack of actual nerd journey stuff. It was just a story of a child's journey into our present internet and experiencing what we are going through/went through a few years ago. Seriously, the oldest reference was Myspace, and that just wasn't 10 years ago!

Thanks for your review, i look forward to you releasing your perfect content some day!
Animations were smooth, voice asking clear, jokes were.. poor in my standards I'm afraid.. Most poked fun at big names, companies that work very hard to improve our lives. As for goodle, well that was simply cliche.
ZenithQuinn responds:
wehhh
That was incredibly generic and contrived. The jokes were executed very poorly, even the ones that had potential, for instance, the 'be a pussy' joke could've been done so much much better but he just turns into a cat for no apparent reason and then the reddit guy says 'I love cats', we don't need that explaining to us, we're all aware that there are a lot of cats on reddit, those who aren't aware can't join in on the joke.
It was just reference after reference but not really a parody, like when Steve Jobs talks about wanting to be popular or Google Chrome being some sort of drug dealer, what? That doesn't even make sense, it's just a poorly thought out joke with a reference wedged into it for no reason.
I'm not a big fan of the animation, the 'boiling' technique was random and inconsistent and the art was very poor. You were, however, onto something interesting by combining realistic effects with animation but you seemed to stop doing that quite quickly.
Sorry for the negative review but I hope it's helpful.
ZenithQuinn responds:
It's not exactly helpful when it's already done and dusted. Chrome is usually affilated with gangsters, chrome teeth chrome wheels etc. Sorry you didn't enjoy the art, I'm no Da Vinci by any means, nor do I claim to be.
