[Animation tutorial]

Excelent

This def should be up higher. so many people have no idea what theyre doing and simple explinations like this really do help. Good job! One small tip for you, Yes solid lines do look finished and professional, but you should use the pencil lines instead of paint brush lines. It keepsthem sharp and clean instead of getting a few uneven edges, it allows you to alter them easier and animates better in flash. Good job tho

Magical-Arts responds:

I have done animations with the pencil tool and yes they do look even cleaner but you also lose alot of the cartoonish feeling. The pencil tool is to recommend for more serious animations but judgeing from what people mostly do for starters and also what I personaly prefere to create the brush tool is a better choice in most cases, simply due to it more lively nature.

[Shadows]

hmmmm

Its obvious u put time into making this, but i dont think enough. There were many parts where the green lines on his eyes disaperead and other things simliar to that. Drawings and animation werent too great. I just think you need more practice. Im sure you will get better. Good luck

maxthefax responds:

Thanks for your review.

[Fear my Typography]

Nice

Cool idea, but maybe try to get more effects happening as the text comes up so its not just text moving around as he speaks

Florindustries responds:

Thanks for the idea :)

[Noir Yume]

Hmmmmmm

Nice idea to rotooscope, but the lack of color and unfinished lines made it look kind of half assed. sorry to be harsh but i just think it looks like u rushed it and could have put in more time to have at least better lines or something

Radica1Faith responds:

yeah you're right it was rushed. I found out about the Halloween flash off less than a week ago. But the lack of color and unfinished lines were entirely intentional. I was going for an impressionistic approach.

[One Big Morphing Orgasm]

Awesome

only one HUUUUGE complaint...

I didn't find out about it till after it was done :(. PLEASEEE let me know if u do another

TheBoogley responds:

I was walking up and down all over the site with a sandwich board selling this thing! Front page posts, messages to people and notes on peoples newsposts... Keep an eye out for the next one... ;)

[The Adventures of Steve 3]

Could be a lot better

lol, i have yet to see many blond green eyes Colombians lol.

Nice video, but ur animation/movements and drawing need work. Story was nice and the voices/sound and effects were good. Some good jokes, but the animation just took away from it cuz there was barely any movement and the times there were it was very stiff and robotic. I say work on ur drawing skills and learn some better animating techniques and u can have a pretty good series on here.

Neo-Egyptian responds:

I do indeed need to add more movement to the characters, thanks for the review.

[Heinous Anus Zone]

nice

i really like the sonic game in the beggining. Its liek a revamped version of the classics. I woulda watched a movie of just that lol

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, good thing I made it, heh. There's an extras option that allows you to watch the game footage in the preloader without the extra graphics in the way. Glad you liked it!

[Animator in Animation]

really slow

it started slow and the animation was slow, maybe p the frame rate. were u using 12? if yeah go to atleast 24

Jorosh responds:

sorry. frame rate is 24 FPS. :(
