"Good idea"

submission: JPB '09 Animation History

date: December 3, 2009

I think the idea of this is very nice, but it's posted "too early". There's only three parts and part three is "getting better". There should be following some more parts like "still getting better", "vastly improving", etc. in there before you show this to a public audience.
While you indeed improved your skills and we can see it in this flash there's still a feeling that this flash isn't finished yet.

Of course you are still learning and improving and I can understand that you are eager to show it to a greater audience. But I still think you posted this idea too early.

"Good"

submission: Conscience and Therapy

date: December 2, 2009

The music fits very good to this submission. Even though the music has some kind of a happy tone to it, it also creates a very dark atmosphere together with the pictures you show.

The graphics are pretty good, but I think the animations could be improved a bit. For example when the car was driving it looked very comical, with the car moving up and down (I don't mean the scene that takes place in the car, but the scene where it is driving up to the hospital). This didn't fit too well into the flash.

Also, why did the car take a turn instead of driving straight ahead to the hospital? If you had drawn a street that curved that way it would be clear why the car takes the turn, but there's no street visible.

I like how you mostly made use of still frames but yet created an illusion of movement with the "zooming cuts" you made.

"Nice halloween submission"

submission: Shadowman & The Garroter

date: December 2, 2009

The graphics are decent, but could have been a bit cleaner (ie, not so many pencil strokes). I don't think the grapics would lose anything from their creepiness if they wheren't scribbled so much.

I had to watch this twice, the first time I didn't realize that this blond hair was supposed to be a head. So I thought: "What? Who was screaming there when the guillotine came down?".

Maybe you could make this a bit more clearer with showing the victim being led to the guillotine.

But overall it was a very nice submission, very creepy. I especially liked the shadow of the tree in the beginning. Also, the music fits very nice to this submission.

"Very good song"

submission: Luck So Lame

date: 4 hours ago

Well, the sound quality seems to be a bit low (or is it just my shitty speakers? Could be...), but this doesn't hurt the song too much as the technical quality of the song is very nice.

The intro reminded me of some song from Oasis ("Wonderwall" to be exact) and it does sound very nice.

The vocals are pretty good as well. Sometimes on the higher notes it doesn't sound that fitting, but the verses are sung in a very good way and I wanted to sing along... too bad I don't know the words, though. ^^

The story to this song is very interesting and I think this would be a good story for a music video to this song as well. At least I had some images in my mind while listening to this song that where very "music video" like.

"Very nice"

submission: SN| Riptide Projection |SN

date: 4 hours ago

I like the amtosphere this song creates. It's somewhere between "spacey" and "very relaxing".

The mix between ambient and Drum N Bass is still very interesting and it fits amazingly well in this song. While you go a bit crazy with the DnB elements the Ambient elements always sound very smooth, which creates a very nice contrast.
This keeps the listener interested and it also makes the song sound very unpredictable.

"Good 8-bit sound"

submission: lost to us aeons ago - TTC1

date: 6 hours ago

A very nice track. I like the relativly slow start with only the drums for the first few bars.

The melodies sound a bit too hectic sometimes (for example from 0:27 to 0:40), so you might want to work on that a bit.

But overall the song is very nice and you manage to create a very nice atmosphere with this song. I think I have to plug in my NES and play some old games now. ^^
