[Lord of the Flies Trailer]

I feel like you missed the meaning of the book...

if it's for you english class, you might have wanted to you know express the theme a little better, even one of the shallower ones about basic instincts would of worked. But you didn't so here i get to leave a review about how you made me want to see your full interpretation of the book, o well...

graphically not the best, character design was good, just the lack of shading made it feel very for lack of a better word flat. other then good job 7/10 4/5

p.s Lord of the Flies is one of my fav. books

Drakku responds:

Yeah, I know I came off as if I didn't really grasp the concept of the book, but I promise you I do. The Trailer was supposed to be a "movie" trailer, and as such was just an interpretation of the book by some random director.
Unfortunately, movies in this day and age are more centered around violence, suspence, and action; plots that are just slash'em'up gore with little to no meaningful themes beneath them fly well with people.
I'll work up the shading in the next Flash, though, and thanks for your comments. <3

[Punt a Penguin]

didn't like the obvious rotoscope parts but...

i won't get on your case... yes i will.... compromise just a little.

honestly i feel although time consuming and boring anyone can rotoscope, and it takes away from the style of the animation, except in things like play where it is the base idea, and is centered around it.

other than that good job, message was a little weak but it's for NG so deep meaning will be lost here. I also feel that the only kind of endangered animals with support groups are the visually appealing ones, won't find to many for the endangered species of tape worm (not that i'm upset about that).

you made punting the penguin look to fun... and as if the penguin enjoyed it's little ride.

other then that good movie, i'll give you the 5 maybe get a last minute front page

Gratz on your monthly prize =D

if this doesn't get it, i'll be suprised, it definetly deserves it.

Who cares if it's rotoscoping, that takes for bloody ever, i did a 10 frame kick once, and i was screaming in agony, but i have the patience of a 2 year old on speed so, i don't blame myself, i blame genetics.

if i was top 2000 i'd put this at #1

p.s when you made this did you know about blue man and/or stomp, very similiar.

p.p.s great catchy music, if i had money i'd pick up an album of yours

Dustball responds:

Thanks! I'm very familiar with Stomp, but I love the Blue Man Group!

[sheepfleece]

well your animation is good

nice 3d cell shading or raytracing or w/e you did on the characters. but please get a new writer, if your writing you own material find a friend who is funny to do it. the jokes were like jester comedy (pie in face) just not funny anymore. great effort though put some more time in writing you material and you'll do fine

[Punch-Out Chapter Three]

weird....

i've definetly seen this before... how long ago was it released? great movie other wise,m i might of seen it last night and just forgot that i saw it then, well great movie exceleent sprites and i can't wait to see the conclusion

AngelnX responds:

This was released Christmas Day just so to help you refresh youir mind. This IS the conclusion to the punch-out story. After this, theres no more punch-out :( sad to say but thanks aways!

[Grand Theft Clay]

9 for effort =D

wasn't a bad claymation, but wasn't knox style.

What I liked:
the fact u didn't rip of knox's voices+characters+humor
the character design was good
the overall feel of the video

what i didn't like:
through some parts it was completely silent,
some scenes it got really jumpy
the voice acting kinda sucked, but wasn't to bad

gave 5/5:9/10
