That was beautiful.

So much beauty made my ass cry tears and my eyes shit.... well ... shit.

In other words,
Fuck me.

"Great stuff, guys :D"

submission: 30 Hour Limitation

date: April 8, 2007

Nice collab, here. I loved every contribution to the overall flash. Well done ^_^

The only thing that bothered me (and it's not even a big thing) is when the song stops - it seemed kind of abrupt. A fade out might have worked better.

Other than that, I have no criticism. Smooth flash, and nice job with the main menu - Bios were a nice touch.

Score: 9

"Very nice."

submission: A.N.U.S. News 0

date: April 8, 2007

Great stuff here. Very decent humor - not amazing, but enough for a smile. Great sound quality, and nice, original graphics.

You've got talent. Keep making movies :)

Score: 7

"Deja vu..."

submission: The Sickest Trick Ever

date: April 8, 2007

I feel like I've seen this before o_O Maybe it's just me....

All around, very good. I don't have much in terms of constructive criticism other than suggesting that you get a better quality mic or up your sound quality.

The filesize limit here is 10 Mb, so there's no reason to compress all the way down to 450 Kb.

Score: 10

"Beautiful."

submission: On Your Mark pt.1

date: April 2, 2007

Awesome piece here. I absolutely loved the visuals. Very artsy. Great choices of music. They worked wonderfully.

My biggest beef was sound, mostly because certain sounds were repeated or very common.

Amazing job :D

By the way, you might have been able to submit it as one. When you have a file that is larger than the limit, but you don't want to separate it, contact Tom and see what he can do. If your flash is good enough (as I believe this one is), he sometimes will make an exception.

Score: 8

"Woah, smooth FBF. Nice."

submission: Cling

date: March 24, 2007

Some of the smoothest FBF animation I've seen. Nice, high framerate.

My brother made a few FBF films, so I know how much of a long and tiresome process it is. Great job. It looked awesome.

Your biggest problem was the music. It really wasn't very good, and it didn't work with the video very well either. Also, I would have liked the submission to be a little longer, but I understand it was just a small project of yours.

Good job. You've got skills.

Score: 8

"AWESOME work."

submission: Red Mirage

date: March 20, 2007

You've really got a talent. I very much enjoyed this piece. Great work :D

I loved the visuals; very stylistic. The music was wonderful, and it worked perfectly with this particular film.

It's too bad you didn't use ANY sound effects or voices. It might have been a nice touch (especially since your characters seemed to be speaking at points). However, I think if you altered it a bit, you wouldn't need the sound - cut out some of the mouth movement or add subtitles if needed.

Great to see you're thinking of submitting a finished piece with voices.

Another thing about sound, you shouldn't leave space at the end of your film if the song isn't done; fade out the song yourself or find out how to stop it when it's time to replay ;)

Some of your animations/drawings weren't as good as others, and it kind of took away from the overall picture. If you keep on working with this piece, you could make it stunning.

After a while, I must admit, it started to get a little boring, but overall you did an amazing job. Kudos.

I voted 4.

Score: 9

"Awesome..."

submission: Welcome to Mars

date: March 13, 2007

You are an extremely talented artist. I loved the visuals and overall atmosphere to this piece. It's obvious that your art is stronger than your animation, but that can be improved with time (and you did say this is old; maybe you've gotten better).

Great choices of music (hehe), but I feel like their transitions weren't very smooth. Of course, I'll take into account that this isn't a finished submission, but it's pretty good, and I'm sure with extra work it could be amazing. Kind of wished the beginning with my song lasted longer :P

I love the scene in space. The music worked perfectly with it; probably the most beautiful part in the film.

Overall an awesome work... It's too bad you're not planning on finishing it :(

Easily the best submission I've seen featuring my music :)

Score: 9

"Awesome animation and visuals."

submission: Pac-man 3D

date: March 4, 2007

You've got some top notch 3D animation going on here. I enjoyed the film very much, so I only have a few minor suggestions/problems.

The biggest flaw was in the sound. I think the song (Great choice with Aphex Twin, btw. Love it.) should have been louder or the sound effects quieter. Once in a while the sound effects would just sort of stop abruptly too.

That's basically all that I think needs to be improved. Other than that it was fantastic. You had my full, undivided attention.

Great job :)

Score: 6

"Decent."

submission: HomeRun!

date: March 3, 2007

The graphics/player animations were pretty good, and the idea was fine, but the controls lacked a bit.

When you jump you can't even swing, so how can you hit the higher balls? At first I could never make a homerun, but then I got the hang of it and it came easier. Unfortunately, sometimes it easier to hit the ball by simply holding the spacebar and standing still, which ruins the element of skill in the game.

The "HOMERUN!" announcement was kind of annoying, and the quality of sound wasn't very good.

You should have made it so that the music continues when you go from Training back to Menu. Also, you should have looped it so that when the song finishes, there isn't just silence. If not that, at least a Play/Stop button for music.

Overall a decent game, but nothing spectacular. There is lots of room for improvement.

P.S. I'd just like to mention that you used my song "in the meadow" without crediting me. I've sent you a PM, and I hope that you give me proper recognition soon :)
