[Plan B - Bizzness Woman]

An interesting portrayal

I see you've gone for the higher meanings of the lyrics of this particular piece, it's a testament to the fact that you've actually sat and listened to the lyrics over and over again - something that I'm struggling to do, in order to better see your portrayal.

Still, it's a nice piece in the style of the ever popular 'madness' series. I'm not sure about the animation of Plan B on top of the building, as it looks like he's taking some sort of sick twisted pleasure in watching this story play out below him and that he's having a wank over it all - you might want to reconsider his hand movements if you edit it.

I think that the vocal pieces that occurred in the song needed some better sort of animation style than Madness, as it has never really lent itself toward facial expression and lip-syncing. If you worked on that, you'd be able to give us your own interpretation of the piece with your own animations, which would earn yourself much more kudos in future.

Not a bad start, keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your stuff.

Thanks, you've given me some inspiration to make it comic book themed, it would take much more time but it would look nice, hey, I'll try it tout for my next Plan B flash, thanks! Well thanks for your review ;)

[Frosty the...]

Nice joke

Well set up, nice punchline and a good lack of morality - I like it.

I'm not exactly sure about your animation style, as the snowman just looked too weird with his stubble growing over his chin like that. I think that the other names for the drugs were well thought out and you certainly delivered the punchline with a killer instinct.

Maybe it should have been longer when you went over the addictions of the other people in the toon, as it might have been able to take this piece further.

PostTimeskipSam responds:

I did have plans on involving the Grinch smoking Pine, but I just decided to scrap that and submit the animation like this, but thanks for the review. I could have work a little bit harder on the animation to extend the addictions and improve Jack Frost's part. Anyways once again thanks for the review, I'll those in mind.

[The 3 Second Collab]

The Good, The Bad and the 3 Second Collab...

Well, with a collab like this one, you're going to get a real mixed bag of stuff. I would suggest that you at least try to get all of the collab pointed in the same direction for the pieces, as with 3 seconds per segment, you can add them together and make some good stuff, by two, three, or even more artists.

So there were some good gags and some bad gags and even a few downright awful segments, that really shouldn't have made it past editing. You've gone for 2-3 loops of the main tune, but you could have cut a few scenes out, giving you a better rounded submission, that reflects the abilities of the truly talented among you.

[Killin' the Grade]

Broad Scope

A very nice animation, which shows your real talent. I'm not entirely sure about the writing aspect of it, but with the skills that you've got, you could team up with a decent writer and get some top knotch animations out on the portal.

Some of the gags were funny and original, but I would stress that a lot of my high mark is made up from how you made the piece fit the music. They just seems to work so well together.

Perhaps you could do something like have certain messages lip-synched in there, as you've got the ability to like the one guy mouthing 'gotcha!' as the weight drops on the guy's head, for example.

xthesnarfx responds:

I think I know what your getting at with the mouthing. But I think people might not be able to piece togather what they would be saying. Also I do have a friend whos a pretty good writer and we're gonna be teaming up for a few flashes.

[TMB Episode 1 - 1/2]

Dark Side of SMB

Nice work - I wasn't sure about the cock joke to kick it all off, but as soon as Toad pulled up his kecks, the whole thing seemed to take off nicely. I think that you've developed the plot nicely, with a few jokes for fans old and new thrown in for good measure. The gag about Luigi as 'The Other Guy' really cracked me up, when you threw in a random sprite.

Great animation, really showing that there can be a dark side, even to a nice game, aimed at kids, as SMB was in the first incarnation. I'd like to have seen this episode longer, to be honest, as even though the file size is 5.8 Meg, you've not really made it that long, so it might have been able to fit more in - the only way for me to really tell will be when I come to see the next part, which I look forward to.

[Music Video Collab 2]

Interesting mix

Funniest - I believe in a thing called love - InfrangibleTangerine. Got to love gay kiss chase

Most annoying - All your base are belong to us - raz183. Just the tune was really annoying for the play out and the flashing screen didn't please me so much :(

Biggest issue - When you were young - globdecitus. The tune was way too quiet, so I couldn't really appreciate it, even a maximum volume, as I felt it was whispering the lyrics to me. A shame, because it was a good video.

You've put together a good collab and I think that you can certainly say that this is a good collab. I think that a few of these ideas need to be expanded upon - you could get together and put up pieces for individual parts of songs, but number 2, 6, 7 and 15 could all be made into videos about their piece of music alone and not suffer any bad side effects.

Of course, if you're interested in further work, I've got a script that has potential for being made into flash, so PM me.

Enough of the whoring, I think that the way it's gone, there is real promise from some quality animators in this group.

Assios responds:

Thanks! :D

[The Unfinished Collab]

Quality work

I think what this piece shows is that not everyone's taste can be accounted for in certain submissions to this, along with the problems faced by promising artists who provide parts for collabs, which never get finished. I think that the way that you've layed it out is nice, but I would suggest that you take a little more time on the layout - you could provide a title for the piece, with the author, but then have a 'synopsis' and play button, so people who want to know the information can see it there and then, rather than having it there anyway.

Also, I would have loved a scene select menu, as this would allow me to revisit excellent pieces, like the last one - it was so simply done that it deserved a second watch, but I wasn't really enamoured with watching the whole thing a second time.

Good work, if any of you get that many pieces, you could submit your own collab works as a demo submission, so that you can showcase your work and hopefully get more from it.

Insanimation responds:

Thanks for the review.

I was originally planning to do a Scene Select, but in the end, there was already problems with the space, so I thought that that would probably completely ruin it...

[Rubiks Cube]

Nice work

This piece is a little cryptic - much like the Rubik's cube itself :P

I like the way that the animation of the character looks so basic, but so effective. Hell, he isn't even wearing any clothes, but it's not as if you'd really notice such a thing.

With the way it works, I'd have thought that he could have at least manipulated the cube a little, before it transmuted into the birthday greeting message.

It's a little short, but quite a sweet little flash. Good work.

[Review Request Club]

ChillyCheese responds:

Yeah, a lot of people say that, and a lot of people are right. He definitely should have messed around the the cube. Thanks for the review.

[Ghost Motel 4 Outtakes]

Interesting

A short mickey take from your own previous episode. A shame that you couldn't provide us with some out takes from episodes 1-3, as that would have given much more depth in the whole series.

With the way that it's shaping up, the series is in full flow now, though I would like to see more development of the plot and what becomes of Tabitha when episodes 5 and 6 come around.

The usual sound issues here, where the voices are a little too quiet for some of the pieces of music and there's a little static on them, so maybe slightly further away from the mic or reduce the record sensitivity on the mic next time.

[Review Request Club]

Violet-AIM responds:

We were thinking about doing outtakes with other ones aswell, just never got around to it.

[-Broken-]

A little short...

Not a bad piece - it really has got some great potential, which revolves around the poignancy of the situation, though I would have certainly appreciated it being a good few minutes longer, you can then take the situation a lot further.

Certainly a good start and with a start like that, it has a lot of potential for greatness.
