[The Better Audio Portal]

How come I can't give a score higher than 5/5

RawGreen responds:

Because then it wouldn't be a high five o/

[TANKMEN .5]

Well.

It did have a chuckleworthy moment or 2 at the beginning, but that was it. I know you can do better screen writing than OMG LOL GAY JOKES OMG. Even though I know this review will have no effect on your further scriptwriting. Oh well.

JohnnyUtah responds:

it won't have any effect because your opinion is completely IDIOTIC. i can take a low score for valid reasons but not when all you claim to see is GAY JOKES.

[Shiny!]

Looked exactly like a TV cartoon.

That's one of the reasons it was so cool. It was like watching TV... on my computer!! The squirrel was sort of adorable, but I thought that the pirate was going to trade the chest of nuts for the squirrels tree. But oh well.

KrystalGeorgiou responds:

Y'know, that was close to the original idea? Aah, at least it wasn't predictable.. Anyways, thanks!

[The Holy Defender [1]]

Looking pretty good.

The only thing I would suggest for you is to improve your lip-syncing skills. Other than that, your graphics look great. Story seems good. Voice acting - mainly of the evil guys - needs a little work. I would complain about how it was so short, except that I noticed that it was already 4mb and there's not a lot you can do about that.

CrimsonGenesis responds:

thanks for the review. yes im rather new to lipsynch, i would have tried other mouth possitions, but time was of the essence. :)

[Mashi Gear Solid]

Graphics are brilliant, audio sucks.

Get better voiceactors, or get a better microphone. It would have been so much better with good sound. Still, it was pretty good anyways.

Austineo responds:

Trust me, I wasn't really aiming for high quality 'cause I knew I wasn't gonna get it. My mic's just fine, but all of our microphones got different results and it really sounded screwy. This is as good as I can get it, aside from making the male voices louder.

But thanks for the comment and I'm glad you still enjoyed it otherwise.

[Blockhead: Quick Shot 1]

Hm?

It was okay, and it was fun to look at. However, it wasn't really that funny. The TV sounds were really distorted, although I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. Ah well. Good try anyways.

The-Swain responds:

I deliberately ran the TV audio through a couple of treble-sucking filters, but I was afraid that because this is the first audio the viewer hears, they might get the impression that the rest of the audio would be "poor".

Anyway, this was a little segment for people who might have been wondering why I've vanished, although I'm grateful to hear how the other half feels about this cartoon as well. So, I appreciate the review :)

[3-2-1 Relaunch!]

Not particularly funny or exciting, but strangely-

satisfying.

I liked watching the animation. It wasn't that funny because it's hard to make characters that look like that actually be funny I would imagine. The graphics were very nice though, and everything flowed well. Good job here, and this seems like a possibility for daily feature.

JKR responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, even if the jokes didn't quite appeal to you. I'll try even harder next time to make them more all around funny. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!

[Please]

Well done.

All in all this flash was very well done. I could tell just from the song that something was going to happen... although it was a little depressing when it did. I think that you portrayed the emotions of the kid and of the parents very well, and that's where this movie really shines.

mr-darlington responds:

Thanks :-D

[S&H: A Silly Joke]

Okay then

The random ending could have been a little more random. On the other hand, the credits with the "some people who thought something was hilarious" made me laugh out loud. So you still achieved your purpose.

Plus, you're graphics weren't that bad. They just weren't animated.

Cheerios4u98 responds:

Yes! I know! Everyone says my graphics are bad. They look good to me, I just didn't animate anything. I didn't really need to in this cartoon. Thanks.

[Skamarai]

What the... 2.0?

I think this deserves higher then a 2.0. It was the most satisfying low scoring movie I've ever seen. The graphics were pretty good quality and the sync between the music and the movie was great. If you ever do some more flash synced like this, but to a longer piece of music (with preferably more randomness) I'd really like to see it.

Fion responds:

With this being my first submission past judgement I've found that the more respectable reviews come in later. I'm Glad to hear you liked it. Hopefully I will be working on some more music vids (longer ones) and if you get the chance please submit to collections. Thanks for the review.
