"The opening should have been cut"

submission: The Black Fish

date: September 18, 2008

The effort put in for a first flash definitely makes this flash deserve a place in the portal. However, the opening where the fish is drawn almost made me close the movie and blam it. In general, shape tweens should never be used when the tween scrambles things up in the process of changing. Some of the later blood tweens looked ok.
If the movie just opened up with the fish story it would have gone a long way to drawing in the viewer.
The choice of music was good and served as a nice backdrop.

Score: 10

"Very nice treatment of the song"

submission: Perfect Circle

date: July 16, 2008

I think you did a great job of capturing the feel of the song with the story you were telling. The detailed backgrounds seemed almost too well done for the cartoon style characters but the attention to the detail wasa really nice addition to the movie.

Score: 10

"Really great looking"

submission: The Myth Of Sisyphus

date: August 16, 2007

Just the opening scene made me think immediately of the Bitey videos... Its a shame you couldn't get the full version on... perhaps you can request an exception to the limit and put up the full version instead.
I've always liked the Sisyphus story. I think you did a great job illustrating it. While there were parts that could have happened quicker (like the stick breaking) the overall animation and story depth made up for it.
Keep up the quality animating.

Score: 9

"nice underlying music to use"

submission: Raf 4 (running a forest 4)

date: March 11, 2004

The piece contains several different sounds that appear for only a short while, only to be replaced by another quickly after. This gives the feeling of different stages or movements that could easily inspire a different corresponding scene to match the sound while the underlying beat/theme ties everything together. Nice work.
