[A Thousand Two Frames]

\m/

I like this one a bit better than "A Thousand Frames", as most of the pictures here are a bit slower. So it's not that hard anymore to follow the animations.
However, sometimes you had some text on the screen, but it went by awfully fast. So I didn't quite get what you've written there...

I liked the reappearance of the "underwater scene" that you already used in your previous flash.

The "easter egg" (that horrible sound track ;) ) is... well... weird. ^^

Yup... I certainly learned quite a bit (Or at least I'd hope so!) from my first fbf experience, so slowing it down was a priority with this one :D
With the text, I tried to have it so it was readable... When I watched it I thought it was, but maybe not to someone who isn't expecting text... I'll keep that in mind.
The reappearance... I was gonna have it go on for longer, but I figured that a nice cameo would be appealing to those who watched the first one too :)
Glad you erm... enjoyed... no... that you... hmm... found the track? :P
And thanks for the review!

[A Thousand Frames]

Whoa, that moves REALLY fast. I felt I was watching some DVD on fast forward...
Try turning the fps down a bit to make the whole thing move a little bit slower (or add even more frames to it. But more frames = more work ;) ).

Like Bezman already suggested, you should try to stick to a rough theme and narrate something around that theme.

blackcat2000 responds:

Heh... I'm full aware about more frames=more work, and i did at times, when I felt the speed had gone too far. I agree fully though, that it was a tad fast.
A rough theme... I'm making a new flash, that i am gonna try to spend ages on, and try to make it have optimum awesomeness... I'ma try to have:
Walking cycles
A story
A basis
Sounds (lots!)
Puns galore! :P
Other awesome things
Thanks for your review!

[The Beelion]

\m/

A quite nice flash with a good poem and a funny ending.

I liked the fact that you made use of subtitles here. That way it's much easier to understand the "narrator". Speaking of the narrator: The sound quality is a bit lacking while you're reading the poem. As if you were sitting in a box or something like this...

Also, while you are reading the poem there isn't much happening on the screen. Just the beelion flying and flying and flying... you should add something more to it, like some funny stuff that is happening in the background.

The ending is a bit confusing for me. What was going on there? What are those creatures the beelion is eating there?

blackcat2000 responds:

Subtitles, I figured were necessary, as I noticed I *cough* I mean the narrator *cough* said some things wrong... like "snide" :P The sound quality... it's probably because i was recording it in the box... known as my room.
As for things in the background, how? Why? I mean... I didn't put anything? That's a brilliant idea, and i hate myself for not thinking of it ;) I must've been distracted with distorting sounds and other animations... heh... *Spoilers ahead! :O*
The ending... I had this awesome idea for making a short track, and flipping between pictures, so I did it. And I thought of the ideas on the spot. Whatever it was, basically the monsters get pwnt, and the beelion gets the trophy... so... yeah... that's the story :P
Thanks for da review!

[Newgrounds is Down]

I know I reacted like that when I wasn't able to hang around here all day. Good that everything is now back to normal and I can waste my life here again.

youre life is wasting away man

[All Your Leet]

\m/

This may have been a good parody of the AYB-flash, which itself isn't that great to begin with, but it started a craze like not much flashes can do.

Right at the beginning is the first minor flaw I noticed. The "Start"-button is only clickable on the text, not on the spaces in between. There are good button tutorials on NG, so you should check them out.

The drawings here are quite poor, it may have been better if you just used the original intro for that. Or put some more effort into your drawings.

The sound quality was very poor. It sounds as if you played the song on your PC and recorded it at the same time with a mic. You also just used the original AYB-song instead of putting some effort into this flash and dub it (ie exchange all the "base" in the song with "leet").

The pictures are quite nice, but most of them are way too small, so that I wondered why the flash needed such a big screen if there's nothing as big in the flash?
So, try to enlarge the pics next time.

Eh, ok. No there won't be a next time though.
