odd

i dunno how well this will apeal to newgrounds demographic compared to what you normaly produced...

an invisible being creates breakfast? or the oranges and bacon have minds of their own and a re homicidal by diving into pans and blenders? I mean, damn you. Its 4:20 in the am here, and you got me craving breakfast already. Fabulous animation buddies. I'd like in on one of these co-op's some time.

seems pointless

sure, you animate nicely. you showed a few people get shot, and a bank robber totaly badass. but it was way too quiet, lacked most sound. it came off really unoriginal and sorta bland. i would have liked it more if there was some music, and better charecter development. Honestly, i recomend you put out one great peice that took a week rather than getting anzious and submitting a days work. voices and humor would help tremendously.

Ya i know it needs a lot. I will try harder in later submissions. thnx.

cute.

ok, so you arent the most graphicly inclined user, but the cutouts were good, and the mouth movements were realistic enough. i know lip sync is a bitch,m and you handeled it well. Fun xmas movie, even though i hate xmas. The song was awesome, and to an extent it was just disterbing. I found it funny, and good luck on your future works.

As always, T0MMY,

you never fail to impress me. Only two days went into this, and to me that’s nearly unfathomable that such a nice project can come out of only two days. It has really inspired me to do another time trial of my own.

I loved how you seamlessly wove Flash and Photoshop, which is something many people struggle with. It was so Smooth, whereas when most people import bitmaps they get rasterize’d improperly. I loved how you used the Grass and flower brushes supplied in that PS brush pack to really work as Backgrounds for you. That flower brush is by far my favorite Photoshop brush because its so versatile. The slight movements were the real keeper here, as well as the blurs and other transitions. the Border was sweet, but I wouldn’t use that clouds filter so much. i never thought that filter made it look like sky.

The character itself was unbelievably realistic and active and i liked that. The Heart you drew was incredibly lifelike, and i loved the slight coloration you added to give it depth. The Vector skulls, Damn! those were beyond cool, even though they only lasted a few frames.

As far as the music, i am not a big Afi fan, but I really like how you took the song and gave it a very original plot, with your heart and thoughts all relating to the stars. ‘Twas maybe to deep for me to catch, or maybe I am reading into the madness too much. In any case the song and movie corresponded well. It was fast paced without any down time.

Overall It was Dark and hard, and a thousand times more entertaining than the play-doh gimmicks of a certain well known Dub'er to whom you probably didn’t prove anything to since he only rates how good a flash is based on its Daily feature awards.

In any case, It was a really nice short film, and really quenched my thirst for something artsy. Thank you.

T0MMY responds:

I agree, the sky filter I used in photoshop really doesn't look like the sky, however I chose to use it because 1)it was quick to create--I was on time constraints, and 2)it seemed rather stylized and fit in with the sylized stars, grass, and flowers.

Kind of funny you mention the heart and skulls, I drew those out really quickly without any reference to work off and they turned out really nice. I almost didn't keep the skulls in there, because they didn't seem to fit the movie, but they looked so nice I kept them in.

Thanks for the really nice review.

i had isues with this

its so interactive that it takes away from the overall movie. You should get to the movie faster and spend less time on menus.

Next time, get some voice actors nstead of just having a few words and the rest text

Good sprite work, and the rest of the graphics were tight.

I realy think you should have had tails, cause hes way cooler than sonic or knuckles.

Also, you need to come to the realization, that knuckles can not fly. He gulides... and that means he is always decending unless caught by an updraft. That aspect bugged me.

Overal its messy but nice.

this made me have a nice day

I love this colection. I dont know why you dont pursue the flash cartoons more. Youre cartoons are hilarious and you do such a good job. I was so excited just when i saw this on the Judgement block. DCK kicks serious ass. The storyline was the same regergitated stuff, but i love ska music and that was a cool tune. Who is that track by again? in anycase I love the style, the music, basicly the overal product!

way cool

this is almost like the rules for timetrial 14, but we cant use that much red or use Alphas. Thats what i liked about youre movie. The lighting flashes on the machinery with alpha blinking white highlights. That was so stylish. It was like a dark Target comercial, with only the few colors. I dont realy like the band Rammstein, but it fit well, and the machine moved like an eq. it was well coordinated, and overall good work

a great start to a series

It may not be the most original idea, but it was hilarous and random. Youre charecters have definate inconic value and i totaly want to see more of these, which im sure you were planing on doing anyway.It was done perfectly as far as graphics are concerned, and the voice acting was fabulous. Just try and polish yuoure jokes a bit, and add to the overall storyline with some kind of lesson, and you'll be set. Great job

i have beaten pacman!

you play till level 255, and after that the game locks up. My score stayed on the machine though. It was unbeliveable. Only took me around 11 hours. After that though, the game lost alot of meaning, so it is possible. I liked youre cartoon though. You did a good job.

heres youre problem

The graphicswere good and prety and clean, but there was too much blankspace, too many reused symbols, too many pointles tweens across white backdrpops. If you would have kept the backgrounds roling like you did for the "raccons palmtrees bathroom" part, you would have scored significantly better. the song is tooo slow, overheard and dull or newgrounds demographic. theres not any humor in something we've heard so many times, and even the original bestiboys song that the squirrel sog is parody'ing sucks. theres no voiolence neither... all in all, this is sorta boreing, and although asteticly pleasing on a whole, try to aim more toward what this demographic looks for.
