[Wooden Pigs]

Nice stop-motion

This is interesting and for 4 megs it didnt take that long to load up, so that was a nice treat, So this was a very interesting flash stop motion i believe and you did put some good effort in this, seemed abit on the short side, so maybe if you added some more action scenes with the pig and all maybe an idea would be to have other wooden pigs formed and such hehe, or maybe you have the guy make another animal to help, but anyways the stop motion is pretty neat i like how you mixed it up with some photo editing effects but on the bad side of that it was hard to see what was going on, also i think the "TEXT" when you go to black screen could have been better, maybe larger text would have been better, and maybe not so fast, also at the end with the replay button, i think you should make it so its more of a button like not just the text so its not so hard to click on, allthough it was not that bad, maybe i thought that because it matched up with the backround, anyways nice job here on a unique flash, i look forward to more adventures with the wooden pigs hehe

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
An improved button at the end, a more better visual, so its not so hard to see everything

~~OVERALL~~
A decent stop mostion with a good little story.

[This Town Episode 4]

Awsome blue movie

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm ok well This seemes to be a good Flash here, i will know more by the end of the flash and review, the one thing that did throw me off somewhat was the "SIZe" just seemed abit much to me but again i will see by the end of the flash to see if it was worth the wait, second thing i noticed was that the Flash just started right off, that notbad but i wish you would have added a "PLAY" button so that i could click play, say like im waiting for it to load and ran to get a soda or something not a big thing just would be nice to the viewer, Now the flash was pretty good if you ask me a funny story a hot blue-ish babe, allthough another little helpful tip might be some "SUBTITLES" not needed but a nice feature for the viewers, now you had a very nice flash some humor, some nice scenes good looking characters and decent animation, so i did enjoy it but wouldnt mind if it had some other option for a more viewer friendly based flash, anyways nice work, and in the end i was worth the big file size, so nice effort there,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Have a play button at the start before it starts playing, some subtitles would help,

~~OVERALL~~
A long bovie with lots of action and a cute blue babe

The play button is a good idea. We'll definitely have one for the next episode. We also plan to upgrade our audio equipment so we'll have much better sound too. Glad you liked our movie (for the most part) and thanks for the great review!

[The Love I'm Searching 4]

Fantastic

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so first off i will comment on the 19 mb flash its not often i do review flash thats that huge but i suppose it cant hurt, only issue with that for me anyways is it does tend to take a much longer time to load up especially on much slower machines and such, now while you do have alot to get all in there, i would hope you thought that people might enjoy your flash if they could get past the load time much faster, And i do only say this because it did take awhile to load, and my machine is not all that slow either, maybe it could be done in maybe two parts? or maybe some of the high detail and effect parts could be toned down? them are just a few ideas, Now on more positive matters i liked your menu page very smooth looking animation with the yellow strips and such, i liked it, And now as for the flash itself.

Ok so as it finnally starts, it was well worth the wait i must say, really smooth animation some of the best "QUALITY" of visuals and wow again for some awsome camera agles. really made for an awsome flash, everything ran smooth i did however think it ran too fast though, you have some brilliant characters and everything all seemed to work around eachother, also some nice effects like backround lights and shadows, this truly was like a realistic movie with very unique and wild characters i was so pleased to see this even with the size that it was so very welldone, maybe not so large if size next time though.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Lowering the file size would be first on my list, i went into detail above, but the main point is longer files take longer for people to get to your presentation, so make it easier for people to view it with less of a file size that would sufice,

~~OVERALL~~
One hell of a movie as it was more like a movie then any flash i seen so awsome job i really enjoyed this

Skaijo responds:

I really appreciate the indepth review. I'm going to continue working on compressing the images that I move into the animation, which will increase their pixelation just a bit but greatly reduce the overall filesize of the animation. I guess I just took for granted that everyone was on a high connection to the internet, but trying to watch my animations from my work computer and comments like this has really opened my eyes that I should be a bit more fair when it comes to size. I'll certainly put the effort forward. <3

[On One Day]

Needs abit more

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so first off i want to mention about the menu screen, it seems as if the "PLAY" buttons was way too small, it was not hard to find or anything but just seems i did have to look close, great job on the backround menu thingie though, that was a rather nice touch, I love the "SOFT" art and drawings now i see why the animation started off abit slow, but that was the perfect approach i thought, love the overtop "VIEW" on this, allthough it was slow it just seemed to work so really nice job, i do wish the whole animation was "LONGER" as it was pretty good and with some really nice and smooth artwork, just wish there was more to it, so if i can suggest anything i would go with adding more content expanding on the story could only mean a plus from this reviewer, so anyways great flash nice art and fantastic, keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Ad more content stretch the story abit more if you can.

~~OVERALL~~
A slow yet fantastic flash story

[Violence Without Meaning]

Entertaining, could use abit of fixing up

~~REVIEW~~
this was a neat little movie, the buttons i thought could be removed, you should have it just flow like a regular movie, or if you absolutly need to have the buttons make them "LARGER" so that they are easier to click. also at the start of the movie when the guy first walks up it looks more like he is sliding then anything else, you should have his "LEGS" more animated and more spread apart as he is walking in that animation, and not to nag but also the "TEXT-BUBBLES" could also be a tad larger, these are just a few tips that may help to better present the movie and in turn get much better outcome from it, so try it out and just go with it, ok and last but not least you should not have all the green characters deaths the same exact way give it some realisim to it like giving them differant kinda deaths, and have the "BLOOD" run a differant way if possible so it doesnt look like the same character over and over. other then that it was a pretty impressive flash with some nice artwork and decent characters the button thing did get anoying but anyways nice job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
the whole Click next button seemed to get repetitive so i suggest you remove the buttons and just allow it to play as a movie instead it will have a much better result, the click next button just tends to anoy people when all they want to do is watch a movie. a few other suggestions would be to have differant deaths differant blood styles, some larger text bubbles, and so on

~~OVERALL~~
An interesting flash i rather enjoyed it, keep up the awsome work

[The Hate Machine: ep11]

I enjoyed it

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so first I think this could be improved with a number of things ill start right off the bat and suggest a few things here, like the "TEXT" you could do something better with that its a tad "PLAIN" maybe make it larger and maybe even abit colorfull or even outlined with some inner color thats differant, also i think a propper "PRE-Loader" could also be in the works, now these are just a few things that could improve on this, and it will show because the effort is there to try and present something much better, and since this was episode 11 i would hope it has improved to a hight quality level, Now the "CHARACTERS" were really good with lots of detail i did however think the backrounds could have been better other then just the "GRADIENTS" maybe some sorta backdrop would sufice there, another improvments would be to implement some subtitles just an extra little feature that presents this much better, i do hope thse little tips help you to improve on this one or other future ones, but i did have a fun time watching these and hope to see the others real soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few things like some subtitles, some improved backround besides the gradients and some more fancy text besides just the bland white ones

~~OVERALL~~
A funny older flash but still gives off a few laughs

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 014]

Day 14

~~REVIEW~~
So here we have another adventure in pokeland and hitler visits once again, now i do like the little animation with him evolving not so sure he evolved so much though, but still it was an entertaining scene and adds to the adventure that hitler is partaking on, anyways nice job

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
more evolving from the pokemon, maybe even some animation effort from hitler like the pokeball or something

~~OVERALL~~
Overall its funny but still needs more

~X~
