review

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

very nice!

that was enjoyable, and nicely put together.

MFRS responds:

Wow thanks a lot for the 10!!!!!. I'm glad you liked this video :).

pretty good

didn't really need much, but would prefer there be more dialogue.

9voltproductions responds:

Thx

blah

the animation was good, but there didn't seem to be a storyline... maybe change the dialogue, and the voice acting to get a better score.

Dusty-Gorilla responds:

Well different dialogue would automatically give it different voice acting.

unexpected

that was alright... maybe something longer next time

Thundaboom responds:

Okay, then! Maybe a "Then the dog comes back" series. :P

fix the sound

it's cool, only problem is the music clips really bad in the beginning. fix that, and you'll have 10's across the board

LaserKarl responds:

The low sound quality is part of the effect. I actually spent some time tweaking and editing it to get it to sound just "right".
