passing com

Not seen a tutorial done as a movie before. Thing is, other than letting lazy people sit back and not bother clicking, and giving you - the author - less work to do, I don't see what advantage this has over a traditional format, with next/previous buttons and a well organised menu.

It was irritating to have to wait for the text to proceed and more irritating when it passed quickly on the one frame I'd have liked a couple more seconds on (agree/disagree>blam/protect).

The deity whistle is given to multiple people since a few months ago.

Essentially, when this info is already available, the only advantage I see of Flash versions is in making it better organised, better explained or prettier. Or adding more information.

Other than the passing comment of low level not showing you're a noob, this did none of those.

Advantage: I got more well known.

care

+ concept of sun mafia amuses vaguely.

++ NG tank and characters fairly well drawn.

+ nice sega-style text.

-- horrible, scrawled graphics for the most part.

-- 'join us' seemed badly placed. Like maybe have it at the start, then at the end. Clicking during the movie, to find the movie carries on, is irritating.

---- Movie ends suddently with no conclusion. Nothing of note really happense.

----- After it ends (just after meeting the Wiisun with the lightsaber, we get a black screen for ages.

==
It just seems like a broken, unfinished flash.

For your next one, take more time and care.

the other,

++++ Great style. The colours and uncoloured lines work well together. It really is a unique way of animating/drawing and visually striking.

+++ Some amusing events. Fave parts were the lime swarm appearing and the zig-zag line breath.

+++ Great text.

- I felt the 'purple' was a bit too close to the lime. and maybe a bit unsaturated. Like maybe it should be a deeper, more royal colour. Maybe like an aubergine.

-- The liquid has a distracting jump in the loop (on the left hand side, where it falls from max to min height, in like 1 frame.)

--- All ends just as we're really getting into it... limited in nature.

-- Music on/off button doesn't really work. I mean, if we try and turn it off, it keeps coming back on.

??? Being properly synched could make it a lot stronger.

Like the other, I enjoyed it, but the length and sudden end did irritate me.

fuzz responds:

Thank you for your detailed review.

I was aiming for a piece that had style and im glad you piced up on that. I used bold colours, this could have effected my score because some people just want dark dingy black and grey. The text is standard in all my animations now, i love the font!
Yeah, maybe the purple was too similar and it didnt have quite as good an effect as my last two colour choices in my previous animation.
The liquid, it was fbf but that was too jumpy so i shape tweened the frames so they smoothly went to the next frame. Unfortunatly that didnt work 100% as planned, i will practice my fbf water skills!

Anyway, thanks for your helpfull review and im glad you enjoyed it :)

uch in the 'story'

What strikes me most about this animation is the stacatto tempo. Movement is fast and followed by a pause. I suppose it made it easier to animate, but it also lends it a certain defining rhythm.

I love the colours, the mixture of unfilled and filled lines and all the extra particles you draw for each collision.

It may be short, but it's a great, high-energy piece.

My only complaint is that it seems to end without any satisfying conclusion - the joy is simply in watching the movement and particles, not so much in the 'story'.

The ending was sudden and slightly unsatisfying, but it was a sweet ride.

fuzz responds:

Yeah, my new one is 10x better. Although the music is better on this one. It was fun to animate, the particles were easy and i liked the effect.

ric... bu

++ 'no' response amused marginally.

+++ The way it subscribes to all the stereotypical generic anti-clock movie qualities amused. I like the way you explain your reason for killing.

-- Overly 'jumpy' lip movement.

- somewhat overly basic animation.

==
Silly, generic... but it made me smile.

seeing mo

++++ Great graphics. Clean lines, well judged line variations, bold colours...

--- Next to no animation. Seemed a bit 'messy', more like an animatic than a finished piece.

+++++ Though the style did give it a unique look.

----- Lack of music synching. Seriously, set the sound to stream. With 'animation' like that, the frame-switching really should be done perfectly on the beats.

++ Kinda cheery tune.

-- But the high pitch gets annoying.

- Some emotions, specially on the bird at the start, could be better rendered, I felt.

- I got annoyed by the lack of explanation for the death - actually thought that would be the punchline - maybe curried fish or something. Was the bird choking? Too spicy? Poisoned? It's a distractingly unclear detail.

==
The thing that will make this stick in my mind is the same thing I initially disliked - the lack of animation. Though I like change, the style did grate (I like the style, but it seemed like it needs some technical work, if you follow my meaning), and the story flow jarred slightly.

I get the feeling that maybe simple tweening in places and at least proper synching could help it seem more finished.

Still, looking forward to seeing more from this kitty.

even a video

+++ Beautiful colours when the sun has risen and shadows appear.

+++ I love the ending. Fade to white works really well.

- Figures could have been drawn better.

- Hill seemed to lack texture.

- The static lens flare looked out of place after a while.

==
It's a wonderful piece, but like the other, I can't help but muse that staring at the real thing, or even a video, would be superior.

Still it is kinda relaxing for a while.
