[Tweeeeeen]

Nice

That was pretty funny. With a title like tweeeeeeen I thought it would suck, but you did a good job. Keep up the good work. :-)

[Java]

Good work

Good to see some people make good first flashes. I found this funnier as a Java programmer, too, which helped. Improvement suggestions: put in more animation, make the pace a little quicker.

Good job.

[World of Starcraft (Ep1)]

Pretty Good...

That wasn't too bad. As a Starcraft player, I even found it funny at times. It would have been nice if you had had more of a linear plot and had eliminated some of the randoim stuff in favor of more Starcraft jokes. Like the pizza guy didn't do it for me, while the SCV and probe mission was pretty funny. Good stuff, though, I'd like to see what you do with a little more experience under your wings.

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 1]

Wow

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever thought I would give a 5 to a clock movie. But I did. This was really well done. Excellent work.

[Computer Problems 2]

Pretty funny...

The whole problem was that the retard bought an eMac, which equals piece of shit. iMac's, too. Get a G5, they're great. Even though I am a Mac user, it just made it easier to relate to everything that happened. I used to have a shitty iMac that did shit like that all the time. I especially liked the bomb, because even though it's a Mac OS 9 thing I remember it well. Fucking bomb.

Good stuff.

[Mutant Ninja Turtles EP02]

Nearly Flawless

That was a simply spectacular tribute to TMNT. The animation was stupendous for a flash movie, and the voices were very much like in the old movies. My only gripe is that at points it seemed to move a twinge slow, but that's getting picky. It was an amazing flash. All my 5 r belong 2 u.

[Haikus]

Good

That was a good view,
but it was just way too short
to earn any fives.

Quantity, one notes
should not take a precedent
over quality.

[Coffin Ship]

It's a so-so

Well, Black MagiK, I HAVE made movies, so listen up:

1) Make the intro for yourself much shorter, I was already inclined to be disinterested before the movie started.
2) Make it a little more fast-paced. I found myself waiting too long for something to happen, so that I was laughing at jokes and not the movie as a whole. Try raising the framerate and see how that makes it look.
3) Sync the sound better. Do you make the sound a Stream or an Event? Sometimes the mouths moved so much longer than the voice I thought it might have even been a choice of yours.
4) Experiment with your comic timing. Let us see a joke longer and make the pauses in between them shorter.

That's it, I think. The graphics were fine and the sounds was... okay... although it was a little bit blown out (if you record, don't let the amplitude go above the top or bottom to keep it from blowing out), and the movie could have really benefitted from a constantly playing bkgd song. The song spontaneously stopping when text came up only aided the feeling of slowness and pauses.

Otherwise, it was good! I think that if you keep what I said in mind your next movie will be much better.

Yeah i know i had a problem with the lip sync , and that was because it was first done in french ( this whole thing was a socials project thats why there was info and stuff... ) so you can understand why the sync would be off. Also its running at 20 fps, and i had roughly only a week to do it so i rushed to get it done. Thnx for ur review and tips.
