[Sonic Timelapse]

As an artist and an animator

That sir, was fantastic. I must say that you do have a real talent for and drawing my childhood hero. Haha, excellent job. Next time, (if there is one) try expanding it further! I know this must have taken forever, but i'm sure you could whip up a backround just like this, maybe throw in an enemy, then sonic could take down said enemy. I don't know... *is just ranting*

It seems i've gone off topic... Nice job! :)

[Kingdom-Hearts_2 1/2]

Patience

That is the key for you when making flash. It seems that you rushed alot of it, or at least, didn't take the time to make everything looks really good. Example: in your first scene it shows sora walking at 90 miles an hour at a really choppy rate. Try to space out the steps so that it looks more natural, as well as draw in between those frames as well, to make it more smooth. Also when just drawing a character, just take your time, and things will turn out much nicer.

Yes, this was a rushed project as stated in the authors comments. I only had 4 days to work on this, so that is why you see what you see. I was experimenting with the style, as well, which it is probably why it wasn't as smooth as it could have been. I have some big plans for the next one. I want to capture some of the disney type movements that were present in the game itself. Look out for the next one. You won't be disappointed.

[The Nut Job (part 1)]

That was stunning

Beautiful to look at, overall a visual masterpiece, amazing job, It encourages me to make my flashes look as nice as this

[The English Paper]

This is epic! XD

It's also somewhat inspring to not do my work, as i'm sitting here putting off a history paper due tomorrow..and my first class is at 8:30...due then... excellent! I'm gonna go call my girlfriend for 4 hours haha

[PALADIN episode 3]

This episode begins the series

I read that this series was good, so i watched one, and when it ended i was thinking "It must be one hell of a story because this sucks" then thinking i was unfair i watched episode 2...again...thinking "He's not putting enough effort into the graphics at all, the fight scene was lacking and not complex at all, and then you just killed everyone off with energy explosion instead of actually adding cool fighting". About a few weeks later i'm like "ok whatever, ill watch episode 3." And you have proven to be an amazing artist when you put your mind to things. This Should be the first episode, or else just remake the first 2, because the others are...well....just boring... So congrats on this movie, PALADIN 4 and 5, and your future creations.

[Aladdin 3150]

I am amazed

this is what someone with true talent can create, its gone from a flash movie to a piece of art, you have a right to be very proud of yourself. Its inspiring as well and i too have planned something "awesome in my mind" however its turning nothing like this, and this is near how i imagined it :P (animation wise i mean)
excellent work, i'll be sure to favorite this and you

[Ninja vs. Robot (Battle)]

A perfect ten

You are incredible, i watched some of you're movies on the site as well, thats amazing. You could become an animator for some ... famous places... that animate... its that amazing

normally this is where i critisize things, but for this one I cant, this movie is PERFECT, almost... i suppose the ninja and robot seem kinda short, but i suppose the ninja's just a kid...
and i sort of noticed that the backrounds seem like copied jpgs, but it fits so perfectly you can hardly notice
keep up the good work, i'll be watching to see what else you make!

[Hapless]

AWSOME, i love reel big fish

just because you used cheer up, i had to review this, RBF is like the best band ever, keep it up.
but...
the animation couldve been better, a tad more detailed and all, but overall good job, 8 outa 10

[Flash Comedy Extravaganza]

MUFFINS AND PIES!

That was an incredible portraying of flashes, i must say, how they are made and how to get good reviews, like (put the entire final fantasy flash in the movie, solid snake and all the other guys, very good job.

[Passion Collaboration]

WOW! It even lags on always low quality!

Overall its a good movie, very good sound quality and some talented artists put into this. I like the style of most of the artists, but of course, there are some parts that need editing.
Besides those, its very good, as a fan of Kingdom Hearts i love seeing many other scenes with Sora and others, although there was a lack of donald and goofy, heh.
Good Job, you guys did well.
