eBaums world dot com

"Not perfect, but necessary for the internet to see"

date: November 8, 2005

First of all I really enjoyed the movie. It was well done, and the fact that you actually took the time to create that audio says how commited you are and I respect you for that. Graphics weren't perfect, but they didn't need to be.

So here I am left giving you a good score :D

Also as far as the ebaums thing goes I have always known that they steal work, but what bothers me more than that is the malicous script that they pass on. Steiling is wrong, but causing harm to people's property is worse than stealing a flash movie. Both are wrong, but I am proud to say I have NEVER visited their site.

Thanks for the enjoyment and good luck with spreading the message.

O.N.E.

"I should just give up now"

submission: O.N.E.
date: October 28, 2005

The proportions and everything....

Not really my taste in music, but thats not something I can really complain about.

Congrats, that must have taken a long time.

The only thing I could ask for was maybe some different songs... but you can't please everyone. Although if one had ended up break dancing I would have totally lost it...

I'm guessing that took months if not over a year.

The Arcane Flute

"Definatly a great start"

submission: The Arcane Flute
date: October 11, 2005

You may have over used that poem a little too much and not focused on the story.

It was a neat idea, but still the plot seemed sort of lacking. He was happy to find the flute again, but it just didn't seem like that big of a loss when it dissapeared, nor did the buying of the flute seem to warrant the money or the protection of the flute.

Over all, very well done. More detail in your drawing, finer detail I mean. Experiment with some lighting techniques. I liked the sun rise... you almost had me squinting, but you gave up on scenery after that first scene. If you want to put scenery in one scene, a lack of it in others has to be warranted. Perhaps you were rushed for time.

Over all great, and you have much potetial.
I want you to know that I really liked this movie, and any criticism that I have given is here because I'd like to see you improve... You may find your way into my favorites if you keep this up...

RR Fake Movie Trailer

"Funny, but short"

date: October 4, 2005

Why did you have to make short?

Great opening for a movie, but you could have done so much more. Anyway you got a laugh out of me, but still. Try for a longer one next time

The KH Chronicles 1.1.

"Good job, room for improvement"

date: September 28, 2005

Very good job, more universal than my try at KH

Something was missing though. This is definatly a very good piece, but something in the voices was wrong. Just like me you tried to develop the characters in a little different fashion and that was good, yet some of your voices really just got on my nerves.

Some of your scenes the drawings look a bit unatural as well, though over all you did a nice job. (I recognize the original pictures they were based off of)

Good job, I will keep a look out for your next two. Try getting some fx in there for the background that way you have more than voices.

Kingdumb hearts COM part2

"Glad I got to pass you this time"

date: September 25, 2005

I've been keeping an eye on your videos for some time now. You've done a pretty good job over all, but your recycling of jokes is starting to get a bit over done. It works, but switch it up a little bit next time. Maybe make the graphics look a bit better, for effect and points.

I know you are trying to parody it and don't want it to look perfect, but it wouldn't hurt for a upgrade next time around, show off some art capability.

Good job, hope to see some more, if you get some of that originality back that you started out with.

Author's Response:

Recycling of jokes?
usually i avoid it, indeed this movie is nothing more but a simple wrap up of the previous movie, people requested more screentime for the organisation and Riku, so yeah, the jokes aren't to great here.

My improvement on graphics this tgime around is not the drawing itself (for that, beavis versus butthead and Kingdumb hearts 2 trailer are experiments, that in the end failed tough but are an improvement) but more the high speed animation of the music video. It's hard to draw complete new characters and backgrounds for every 2 second scene, plus learning to draw 50+ new characters :S
So my hands were full with the intensity of the music video itself that cost creativity in jokes and art.

Routine

"Almost perfect"

submission: Routine
date: September 21, 2005

The sound needed some improving, the songs greated in my speakers. But that was the only problem I could find.

I enjoyed the way you used simple characters to make your point. And I enjoyed the use of little color through out the movie to emphasise the dullness. But I felt it could have used some color at the end. When things started to change. Maybe not great differences, but a little bit might have helped.

Great movie, I of course hope to see more in the future.

Still I felt you deserved a ten, besides the little kinks. The lack of sound for everything I also found very interesting. Perhaps a bigger screen next time? Though I would guess you were trying to decrease the file size. Great job.

"You have done what most can only..."

submission: Afterliving
date: September 11, 2005

attempt to do.

Congratulations on a job well done. There are times when the graphics seem a little too abstract, however, they still all connect and so serve a purpose.

What I am refering to as what most have not done, is that you have managed to create art. Your style is unique to you and fits the video. I do not usually give high for interactivity. And you have created a new definition of interactivity for me today. Generally I think of it as a user-interface. You have managed to interact with my thoughts and it is likely that I think about this for the rest of the day.

I will not give you a ten because there is always room for improvement, and as you are new to animation you need to realize that this is only the beginining of your potential.

I see a great potential for frame by frame animation from you.

Continue your work and I will keep an eye out for you in the future.

Great job

TrashLock's 911 Tribute

"I dislike your style"

date: September 11, 2005

The dead deserve much more respect that you have given them. Though you have the right to make such a statement, I am saddened that you have the gall to make it in the way that you did.

As far as the flash goes, it is the subject matter I don't like. The graphics are fine...
