"hmmm"

submission: Stik Animation Test

date: November 28, 2007

I'd consider myself an artist/animator so listen to what I have to say as it's all very much relvant.

-stick animations are simple, overdone and really unpopular. Not to say that there are some exceptions out there. Look up the castle series or xiao xiao. Good stick stuff.

-Animation is an art medium if pulled off correctly. So you can consider yourself an artist of animation if you get good enough at it.

-You're still young. Pursue animation. This might be your first, so it's not by any means good, but I can see alot of potential here. The question is, are you interested in continuing?

-Don't submit stuff like this unless you plan on deleting it later. Keep your early work to yourself. I worked in flash for about a year before I actualy made and submitted a cartoon to newgrounds.

-The animation world is a tough nut to crack, especialy at your age. Most kids your age have no patience to get better. They just produce crap, continuously. A good cartoon can take months of hard work. Or hours if you're expierienced, but the expierience i'm talking about takes about a year or two of dedication to what your doing.

-Things to think of for your next animation: Try using sound, incorperate a background and add some serious depth. Your next toon doesn't have to be long. Just make it good.

I gave you a two as a score for the review because this isn't a cartoon. It isn't art. It's just a test. It might get deleted, it might not, but at least take my words to heart. If you need anymore info/advice just send me a p.m.

"Great tutorial...but what about cs3?"

submission: Managing Flash Pro 8

date: June 17, 2007

New flash is out, and I'm a little iffy about a few things in it...in anycase, this is a decent tutorial with some nice substance in it. I hear the kids like to learn about action scripting...ar. The layout was really nice here. Pretty colors. I would recomend this to a flash newb, but I don't think there is enough information in here to really teach him anything he could learn in any of the other tutorials out there. You did state that the tutorial didn't cover everything, when it reality, it barely covered anything. Just the key basics.

I'd say the most useful section of this tutorial was the tips section. New flash animators should really take note of al that, because it's extreamly true. Overall, it's obvious that you put alot of work into this, and the basic substance of your tutorial by no means reflects your abilities. You did a good job.

Score: 8

"This wasn't that bad."

submission: Fubbed in the Butt

date: April 8, 2007

Hey mrkennedy2. You spelt retarded wrong. Before you insult someone elses work, think about what you are saying.

Ahem, this was a nice short. The animation was really smooth. It wasn't that interesting in terms of orignility or story or anything like that, but it was amusing enough. Alot of my animations on deviant art are shot out in two days, so I know the kind of work that goes into something like this. Really, don't pay any attention to the 14 year olds on this site. They don't know what a real cartoon is. They just think they do because they waste their free time watching tons of random animations that wander through the portal, leaving shit comments as they please.

Score: 7

"Hmmm..."

submission: Crimson Hero. part1

date: April 8, 2007

With the job you did keeping the file size so small, you'd think you could have managed to get parts one, two and three into one toon. In anycase, the graphics and sound were decent. I was a bit dissapointed with the pacing though. The toon moved way too slow. There was no story really at all. Also, stick figures are really a cliche. This toon could have used some music...that might help a bit. I'd say keep up the good work, but at the same time, try harder.

Score: 7

"Music?"

submission: Bright Colour of Death

date: April 7, 2007

You forgot to credit the music author! Go to your flash submissions page and change that. It's not fair for the music artist when you forget to credit them.

As for the cartoon, it wasn't that bad. The colors were fun. I liked them. You really need to learn how to animate fire though. It was really sloppy. The camera work was a nice. The story wasn't that bad. It was amusing. If you need any help with your cartoons, I can give you some pointers. Just send me a pm.

Score: 7

"Hmm, too short, work more."

submission: An Ambiguous Short

date: March 11, 2007

Good: Colors (grey, brown, sexy, always a good combination), lines (smooth), sound (for the most part, I didn't get to hear alot because the toon was too short), frame consistency (no over loads)...

Bad: Clouds (some go one way while the others go another I figured out that the cloud was supposed to be following the boy, but I think it would have looked better if you just left the boy without a cloud, also, clouds arn't solid. Him landing on a solid cloud is a little weird.) The text at the begining was too long (I was starting to get bored), the character running was not fluent enough, try removing some of the extra frames.

I just want to know, is there gonna be a finished version of this, or is this it? Because I'd love to see the rest of this down the road.

Score: 9

"Like Taffy, but chewier..."

submission: Eres Veneno ++

date: March 3, 2007

That ending seemed vrey rushed. Other than the ending, good work. It sucks that I also decided to submit a cartoon today, because there's no way in hell I could even begin to compete with your fan base. Eh, one day, I'll be a better animator than you, mark my word Mr. Alejandro Córdova Olvera. Because your going down >: (

Eventually...
