maybe you should have used your time more wisely, like looking up to see if there's already tutorials on this site, which there are plenty.

if someone wanted to learn how to do flash, they can easily find the info somewhere other than where the end result of flash creation is supposed to be.

yea,but im sorta new here.well,nbotm exactly sorta.i signed up like 8 or 9 days ago lol.

review

i am sorry, it does look sorta interesting, but there a couple things which I base my vote on for newgrounds submissions, and the biggest is animation.

There was little flash in this video, and the animation which I did see wasn't very impressive. For using real backgrounds this could have been a lot longer, what did it take, 15 mins to make this?

maskedone2 responds:

the animating process wasnt too hard, you are right it wasnt amazing but thats cos it doesnt focus on the animation at this part.
im trying to introduce the character.
and this part doesnt have much flash cos it wasnt needed if you focus on the story and not the animation
before you ask how long something takes to make, try doing animtaion

what?!?

i don't know how this doesn't get 5/5 across the board. this is about as good as flash gets.

review

initial impression was the beginning wasn't very good, though it had its moments of genius as it went along.

it's great that you're learning to do flash, but here are some pointers on how to get better scores.

first off don't use sprites. yeah they're easy, but hardly anyone has an appreciation for those who use them, because of that fact.

be original. do a search for sonic/ mario based flash movies, and literally 1,000's of titles come up in the search. it's nearly to the point now where if there's even a mention of either in the title, it's almost an automatic blam, because most people are sick of sonic/mario submissions.

when using text in flash movies... if you can't read what's being written because the speed is too fast, no one else will either, fix it before submitting.

take your time. this is the biggest problem with people who submit to this site. everyone wants attention, awards, high scores ect., but very few take the time to actually put serious effort into their work, and i am not talking about 8 hours, i am talking about being patient, even if that means if it takes having to put weeks worth, even months in some cases into a couple minutes of flash.

as for reviews themselves, you don't need trial & error of submitting your own work on here to get an idea of what makes a good flash. the best reviews or advice you can possibly get on this site are the ones that are left on other peoples work, and by observing videos that have made the top 10.

the comment section... self degradation in the comment section is pointless, and i am talking about the "i know it sux" comment you left in there. if you looked objectively on that comment you probably would ask the same question that i did after reading that, which was "then why even submit this?". believe me, some people do read the comments, and what you say is going to slightly influence someone's initial impression.

that's all i have.

keep practicing. ~peace

FuzzyElk responds:

Thank you

funny

that was funny.

hope the teacher enjoys the same sense of humor, and grades well, because that was put together very well.

review

text is moving too fast... and generally when making a short educational spoof, include a solution, not just problems.

not bad..

it's eye catching, nice & short, with good animation, although i don't quite understand the slogan though.

Nice

Great Artwork, nice animation!
