Keep Makin' 'Em ...

... and I'll keep watchin' 'em! I love that li'l animated freak!

No, 216k Isn't Too Bad!

The car was well drawn and animated so we know you've got the potential to do something better. I've also seen A LOT of stuff on NG from people that were "bored" and your stuff definitely looks slicker than theirs! Next time, when you're bored, create a short, but don't post it on NG. Go back to it later, give it a little more thought and time and I'm sure you'll produce something really worth posting!

THANK YOU!

You've thoroughly entertained me with this piece! It had everything an awesome animation project should have - excellent animation, dead-on timing and a gripping story! My only suggestions are (and believe me, as they are now, they're NOT a hindrance!) work on reducing the music's file size a bit more and, though I like the timbre of the actress' voice, she should enunciate clearly and read with a bit of feeling. That's my two cents. Again, as it is now, you've got a winner on your hands! Thanks again for sharing your talents!

ImageNation responds:

yeah we wish but if we lower the music any more you won't be able to understand her at all:) thanks for the review

That Gunshot Sound Effect Sure Goes A Long Way!

On the whole, I liked this piece! The idea's pretty cool and the art has got an offbeat style that really works!
Try editing down alot of the dead space that slows the pacing and work on the voice recordings - they were hard to understand at times. It also looks like you added the sound as an Event since mouths kept on moving long after the speech stopped. Try Streaming the sound for better syncing.
The psycho on the roof ROCKS! He reminds me of my gunslinging days on House of the Dead! Keep up the AWESOME work!

You're On Newgrounds!

If you don't want anyone to "judge" your movie, I strongly suggest you don't put it on NG! If you made this for Jamie, why didn't you just e-mail it to her or post it on the free space you should have gotten from your ISP? 51k is hardly big enough to clog up someone's Inbox or hog up memory on free web space. Anyway, I hope at least SHE liked it!

The Talent IS There!

Referring to your response to a review - it is incredibly EASY to put art into Flash ESPECIALLY if you're an artist in Illustrator! Just create the piece in Illustrator, copy it and paste it onto the stage in Flash. I do it all the time. You have some incredible potential as evidenced in this piece. I understand you were working hard against a deadline, which hindered you a bit, but here's my two cents. Sound - when the characters speak, drop the volume on the background music. To do this, you'll need to Stream the music. Backgrounds - don't move them when they don't need to be. The opening scene in the pub does this a lot. Art - don't change a thing! It works! I hope you got a good grade on this and I look forward to seeing more stuff from you!
