[Comedy w/ Jim Carrey]

Well ..

I'm a BIG FAN of Jim Carrey. I recognize that clip from Liar Liar. (Would've been better if you re-enacted the scene where it showed him sucking off her breasts like from Jim Carrey's Me Myself and Irene)

Ahhm .. *cough* ..
In any case, that was a nice bit of a strip-tease near the end. I don't think anyone is making films like that. Might be a good untravelled road to consider since no-one has done anything really pornographic yet. :)

[Console allstars ep6 (KF)]

Not good ..

I think I've seen more than my fair share of fruity clocks with synthesized voices. I'm not sure who started this craze but it's pretty old now.

Nonetheless, this was VERY WELL animated and presented. :)

I thank you for the compliment

oh yeah FYI

I STARTED THIS CRAZE

[Solo Spy Ep. 1]

Not good ..

Please no more stick figures ..

Suggestion, don't draw faces on the stick figures, leave them blank. Think it looks even worse with a face drawn on them.

Good use of animation.

Excellent use of Squaresoft's music, but most of their music is excellent. :)

azrag responds:

well Im gonna make an episode 2 yes this was to short. If a lot of viewers dont want a face on the charactor I may be able to change that. This may just be a three episode series I really dont know. Not much of a series but also I think I should add less background music I think that might be helpful on my movies anyway thanks for suggestions and if you would like to contact me my email is [e-mail] we can discuss some stuff over the messenger. Thanks for the review.

[Labyrinth Combo 2 + 3]

Excellent ..

It's rare when someone can use stick figures in a movie and present them with such accuracy of detail and believable movement and animation outside of XiaoXiao.

Your storyline is deep and involving.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future. :)

David

[Kid's Advice]

Not bad ..

You have good animation skills, the artwork is still a little rough.

Humor was a bit obvious. It's more interesting when it's subtle.
:)

David

[Final Fantasy Gil Quest]

Pretty good ..

There were quite a few satires and spoofs in there.

The Ring, Matrix, Dora The Explorer, Yu-Gi-Oh, AYBABTU, MK&A, Chocobo, ..

AYBABTU is a bit overused, and it's a satire on an existing Flash, seen before.

A few things missing would be ..
Animation of the mouths for both Cactaur and Tonberry.

There was no real damage seen to Cactaur despite the hazards he went through. Leaking a bit of chlorophyll (or cactus juice) would have helped.

Great job on putting the text below (closed-captioning) that really does help !

Needs maybe a bit more background music during dialogue or background audio for the courtroom.

Some of the humor was too quick, like the selection for a Final Fantasy Fire spell was great, but it needs to build up, Tonberry floating into the sky, background fading to black, epic gothic music, fireball building in power and unleashing cracking open the ground for about a mile long.

I didn't seen any Final Fantasy characters in here which is what I was expecting since it was part of the title. Ah well ..

The whole movie was nicely presented, however ! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
:)

[Domestic Adventures]

Well ..

I'm giving you high points on Sound because I have that soundclip too about the little girl singing and it's cute. Ahhm .. You could have expanded on that alone.

Dirty pan, Father and son talking .. Going from synthesized to speech ..

Sorry, this wasn't a keeper with me. :)

David

[MaryJaneGetsMeLifted]

Not good ..

I can relate, my G/F used to do MJ, but damn if it didn't seem like the fellow in this flick was on some crystal meth instead.

Ah well.

Uneventful. Didn't need to see it again.
Sorry. :)

David

[Wades Hangover]

Not good ..

I'm not sure if that was a SWF I saw or an MPEG.
Sorry for the hangover, and thanks for sharing.
:)

David

[Vending Machine Mishap]

Not good ..

This could have been done a lot better, and by you I am referring to, SirEnglewood.

Leg animation, maybe a bit of gentle tapping on the machine at first. Possibly losing his arm up the mechanism trying to reach for his soda. There are many ways this could be approached.

Also when the Pepsi machine falls it needs to make a horrendous clattering sound. Those suckers are HEAVY. And then a low mmooaann not "Ouchies." :)
