"So."

submission: no tweens

date: March 31, 2009

If you want good scores, here's a few pointers.

A) Don't say what number flash it is. It sounds like you're trying to make excuses, so people go into watching already expecting something pretty bad.
B) Don't call it a test. If it's really a test or practice, you shouldn't really be submitting it.

There were absolutely no colors and the FBF wasn't pretty. Your only characters consisted of sticks, some of the most lazy characters ever (besides sprites). It's a big jump to go from sticks to full characters (I was a stick addict at one time, too), but it's worth it if you succeed.

Having said that, you did great with the camera pan, and the FBF wasn't too bad. For your second movie, you could have done a lot worse. Just try to clean up your lines (use onion skinning if you're not already), try to add music, try to add sounds, try to add color (not mandatory, but recommended), and you could have some cool stuff. RIght now it's just some black squiggles that somewhat resemble something dancing around in a blank white canvas.

So yeah. Not good, but with some practice you could get good. Just keep using FBF and keep up the good work with the changing camera angles and camera panning.

Score: 10

"Good!"

submission: The Robot Collab

Looks great. There were some really quality parts. It's a pity it was so short, but it's still worth more than the score it has now (at the moment, a 3.57). 5'd and 10'd.

Score: 8

"It's alright."

submission: Somnium:

date: February 5, 2009

You're a great artist, and I love all the cool effects you used, but you really didn't do that much animating. You animated that squid-like character, I'll give you that, but almost everything else was really just tweened across the screen, and the things being tweened weren't even MCs with FBF in them. It's good, but you're better than this, and it's really just bland and not very impressive animation-wise. Tweens are useful and time-saving, but they're overused here.

On the other hand, to reiterate, nice drawings :)

Score: 8

"Cool."

submission: Lazer Dodger

Graphics could use a lot of work, but the coding was solid.

Nice job, Ryan.

Score: 9

"SO MUCH ANIME!"

submission: The CTSG Collab!

date: September 28, 2008

But because I liked all the non-anime parts (maybe 2 parts?) and all the music, 9/10.

Score: 8

"Some good parts, some terrible."

submission: The Flathead Collab

date: November 26, 2007

Theo, NathanielMillburn, Snicp, Eddsworld, Doomshock, and maybe one or two others that I can't remember, great job. This animation had a lot of good animations mixed in with a bunch of pretty crappy ones. I love all these noobs before me giving this 3s and 4s - this wasn't perfect , but it was good enough for at least a seven. Which is why I give this an 8/10 and a 4/5

Score: 7

"So..."

submission: Sword Fight In Hell

date: October 24, 2007

Alright so I can tell you're new, but know how Flash works. That's good. Now you need to improve your art, and work on more FBF, and less tweening. I used to use figures that were a lot like the ones you used in this animation (just balls for hands and feet, no legs or arms), and I can tell you that people won't respect your work if you won't even put in enough effort to do some simple things like that. You had some pretty cool effects in there, I'll give you that, but try not to overuse filters. Nice attempt.

Score: 10

"That..."

submission: Error Message

date: October 16, 2007

WAS AWESOME :D I finished it, though I'm not totally sure why >_> I actually did it twice after I got the smiley face, thinking I had messed up somewhere. GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK O_O

Score: 8

"Alright :S"

submission: Skirmish

date: October 16, 2007

PROS: I liked some of the colors you used, and the animation (for the most part) was pretty smooth.

CONS: Work on using the V-Cam, make it a bit longer (of course), and work on the timing a bit o_o when the stick slices up the cat it takes a second to even show it falling apart. Some pretty cool effects, but clean it all up! I can see a lot of minor errors in there that aren't really worth pointing out.

Score: 7

"Ehh..."

submission: Themed Week

date: September 30, 2007

I only liked Superawesomeness and the last one (Oouch? I forget the name.) The animation for the rest were drawn pretty poorly and seemingly with only straight lines. The last two were great though :) To the others: avoid just using tweens, put more fbf in there! Maybe use the brush tool? Also, the font on the menu was just plain hideous. Good effort, but not so great.
