The style was profoundly one of the best features in the work. The characters were magnificently well drawn and animated. The abstract backgrounds and creatures suited Zekey's theme brilliantly. Each creatures' unique rendered style and movement provided an abundance of stylistic innovation to the overall feeling of the flash. This is one of those films in which a plot isn't needed in order to appreciate its brilliance.
I'm glad you liked it enough to write such a good review :)
Awesome Job
I remember seeing this submission in the portal, and I couldn't help but five it. It has come a long way now, with 100+ reviews, 40,000+ views and a Daily Second Award. Which all of this you have deserved and have well earned. Great job buddy.
Graphics- The Graphics were awesome. I like your new style that has been taking place in the last few submissions you have submitted lately. I like the shading techniques you use and the cartoony style.The backgrounds that were incorporated fitted the animation nicely and were clean and pleasing to the eye. Great job on the graphics, very smoothly done and polished.
Style- I found this to be quite original, despite the fact many people say it has been done before. I liked how everything was in sync with what was being said in the song and such. The lip sync was awesome as well. As I said in the Graphics section, I love your new style. It is suprisingly clean and stylish.
Sound- The song was of good quality and I couldn't find any flaws in it. You made a good choice in picking this song to make a music video off from. :)
Violence- There were parts were violence took place. Jesus's lightning, the brick throwing, Mario's fire attack, and many more. The effects used to convey the violence were very well executed and well done. Nice job on the violence.
Interactivity- I'm sorry to say there wasn't any.
Humor- This was pretty random and amusing. The subtitles were at some parts funny and well thought out. Humor is something that never has never lacked in your animations. :)
Overall- You did a magnificent job on this. You have been greatly improving upon the quality of your submissions and have been improving your overall great flash skills. Keep up the awesome work, and I hope to see more from you. (Which I know I will :D)

Nice Short!
You did an extraordinary job with this. But it would be great if you could develop it more.
Graphics- The graphics were splendid. You had the correct color combinations, and everything looked smooth. The graphics were pleasing to the eye, and I didn't find anything out of shape. The colors you chose for the animation were very unique, which also adds to the style. For example, you could have made the sky light blue, but instead you made it white or grayish, which adds a bit of a mysterious yet pleasing sight. The backgrouds were drawn very well as well. I thought it was great you blurred some of them, adding a touch of distance and a out of reach kind of feeling. The drawing of the characters were smoothly done and I didn't find any flaws in them. The only feature that would have made your graphics even more eye pleasing and eventually realistic would be to add some kind of shading technique. But otherwise, you did a superb job on the graphics.
Style- The style was great. I found this to be very original. The concept of a person flying away in a bird mask is interesting. But what is lacking is some kind of storyline or plot. But other than that, I find this to be unique.
Sound- The music was very well chosen and it fitted the criteria of the film. It blended well with the character's movements and made the movie more astonishing. Without the music you chose, the film wouldn't convey the feeling it implies. Great job on selecting the music.
Violence- A film doesn't have to have violence in order for it to be great. People complaining about the lack of violence I'm guessing only like films with violence in them, which is sad. I am actually pleased you didn't include any violence in this, since it would have ruined its overall effect.
Interactiviy- There wasn't any, other than the Play button and the Replay button.
Humor- I didn't find this submission to be amusing, nor did I think you made it so.
Overall- You did a great job on this. You have great flash skills and techniques. It would be great if you could develop this film into a larger, more storyline filled submission. I hope to see more from you, and good luck on your future submissions.
Such an in-depth review, I shall attempt to give you a suitable response.
Graphics - I'm stoked that you like the graphics. I'm not much of an artists, so i wasn't too comfortable working with more 'realistic people'. Orignally, for the collab, you were only allowed to use black, white and another colour of your choice; which explains the colour scheme. I didn't add any shading, because I deemed it somewhat unneeded, but I shall remember that it makes a difference for future projects.
Style - I'm sorry for the lack of plot and focus to the events, but I do intend to take this character further.
Sound - Much kudos to Synteza for the audio :)
Violence - Agreed. Violence would have definately taken this cartoon in a direction which I did not intend.
Interactiviy - With longer projects, I'll try to include a menu.
Humour - You're right, this is not meant to be funny.
Overall - thanks a million for this review. It's great to see my work analysed to such an intense level. I'm planning to take this character and idea further, possibly into a prologue. Either way, your comments have been invaluable and I thank you very much for the time it took to write that review.
Decent Work
You did a nice job on this but there is room for improvement. The graphics were interesting to watch but if you would try to draw the birds less "crooked", and more smoother, they would look much better. I understand the trees and the landscape were drawn in the form of a crooked state, which truly shows your style. The style was great. I like the drawings of the trees and of the landscape. You did a great job on that. The music fitted the animation very nicely and there aren't any flaws with it. It would have been better though if you would have added some kind of sound effects. For example, you could have added a sound effect that would convey birds chirping, etc. There also wasn't a plot of some kind, and if there was, sorry if I missed it. Overall, you did a nice job on this submission, just try to polish up more you characters, not the backgrounds, becuase they look great but the characters so that they would look more smoother and not in the state of a person who drew them very quickly, work more on length, and add sound effects. Keep working and spiffen up you animation skills and I hope to see more from you. Good luck on your future submissions.
Summary Points: Good graphics, try to polish up your characters, Very Nice Style, although there wasn't a plot to go with, Great Music but there was a lack of sound effects, quite short but well animated.
What a review! I will be refuring back to this everytime a start a new peice of work, Its easy to understand your points, thanks alot!
Nice
You did a pretty good job on this, but there is room improvements that would make this submission even better. The graphics, or characters, were nicely drawn. But what could have made them look more polished would be using the shading technique. If you would have shaded the characters, they would have looked more smooth and of better quality. The Style was pretty good. I liked the storyline you had of the Uzi Union hijacking the headquarters of the Sun Mafia. The music fitted the animation nicely, but there was a lack of sound effects. It would have been great if you would have added gunshot sound effects and some kind of sound that would had conveyed an explosion. The violence or the blood was animated well but it would have been better if you would have drawn or included a wound of some kind that would have portrayed a gunshot wound of some kind. It would have also been great if you would have made the movie more longer or made the scene of the battle more extensive. Overall, you did a pretty good job on this but next time try polishing more your graphics, include sound effects, if it is a violence film and it requires people shooting each other, try adding in some kind of wound when they get shot, if you do all of this, you will have a much more polished animation. Good luck on your future sumissions.
Summary Points: Average Graphics, Nice Style, Good selection of music but there was a lack of sound effects, nicely animated violence or blood sequences but there was a lack of a gun wound of some kind, fairly short but nicely animated overall.
yeah, it was short cuz it was an overnight job, you make some good points. I didn't add sfx cuz it was kinda a music video.
Nice!
You have greatly improved upon from the time you joined the Sunday Comics and Toons Collab. Ahh, the good old days... Anyway, let's get to the review. You did a pretty good job on this, but there is room for improvement. The graphics, or characters need some working on. Shake could have been added more upon. What I mean is that you could have shaded him and added more details to him. For example, the straw on top of his head was just a stick. Try drawing out the straw and add those thick red and white lines so that it would look much more realistic and would even enhance the character's overall look. Another detail or improvement you could have added was making the characters, especially the characters that were talking, blink. It would have looked great and made the characters look more realistic. Unless, if in the real episode, they didn't blink, then I guess it was ok you left them without blinking. The sound, or in other words, the sound clip from the acutal episode was of good quality and there really wasn't any problem with it. The feature that was really good in your animation was the lip synching. You did a great job on making the lip syncing accurate and it looked really nice on the characters animation wise. Overall next time, work on the graphics or characters a little bit more (The background looked nice by the way), if chances permit try to make it a little bit longer and you'll be much better off. Very nice job on this and keep up the great work!
Summary Points: Average graphics, can be improved upon, Nice Style, Nice crystal clear sound, very great lip synching techniques.
LOL the characters were drawn as they are in the show, the scene features a less graphic intensivnessissity to it. Its more of a lip sync test, If your in need of practisiing lip syncing yourself I highly suggest using this clip because of the range of speed in the voices. Thanks for the review.
Nicely done!
You did a good job on this, but there is room for improvement. The clocks were nicely drawn and animated. I liked the combination you made with the real picture of a background and the animated clocks for the characters. Implementing footstep sound effects as the clocks jumped around was great also. Nice job on that. Excluding the credits, there was a lack of music during the animation. It would have been better if you would have put a decent song for the duration of the movie. In terms of originality, I found it to be quite amusing. It was nice you came up with some ideas of two clocks being stuck on a Flash Program screen. Here are the improvements. You should have gone further with this concept. You could have made it longer and made the clocks try to get out of the screen. For example, you could have made them throw bombs at the sides of the screen, make them run super fast at the sides of the screen in an attempt in breaking out or something. You could have gone way further with this idea. Overall, you did a decent job on this and it would be great if you could further extend this concept. Good luck on your future submissions.
Summary Points: Decent graphics, Nice Style and concept, Nice implemented sound effects and music, mildly amusing, could have gone further with this idea.
interesting. I was thinking about a continuation, after what a friend of mine said. I like your suggestions, and I think I should have gone a bit longer. Should I continue this, I will start using more interesting music for the background, my only problem with background music is it makes it hard to hear the talking. thanks for the feedback :)
Very Original!
This was great! You did a very good job on this. The graphics were great, and were very smoothly animated. You said in your comments that you were going to color them later, but I think the graphics look great as they are. Without color, they look oldish and it adds to your style. In my opinion, you should leave them as they are because to me, they look much better this way. The voice overs were great as well. They sounded professional and suited the characters nicely as well. I also found it to be pretty amusing. Nice job with the original characters and amusing storyline. I believe this will be a great series, and keep up the awesome work.
Summary Points: Good graphics and wonderfully animated, Awesome style, Great storyline and plot, Magnificent voices and highly amusing.
Thanks for such a great review. It seems so far from what I have seen that I am getting a positive response to the black and white, so maybe I will leave it that way. Once again, thank you very much, I appreciate your review.
Nice Job
As you said in your comments, it is really short. But it was made rather well. The graphics were drawn and animated well. I liked the snow effect you had here, it looked nice. Although "Santa" was blurred, he was still drawn well. It was nice you blurred him too. I found this to be quite original, because I have never seen Santa look like the way he looked. The music at the start of the animation was nice, since it fitted the theme of Christmas, but the selection of music at the end of the animation was horrible. What does that music have anything to do with Christmas? Was it because the demon-like Santa scard the boy? If that's the case, then I can understand why you chose it but in my opinion it would have been better if you had put a Christmas song instead. Overall, as you said in your comments as well, this was a nice animation considering it was done in two days. Keep up the good work, and good luck on your future submissons.
Summary Points: Good Graphics, Nice Style, Good first selection of music but last song was a bit too random for me, Nice joke/storyline, very short but animatied well.
This has to be the best review i've ever gotten for one of my movies. Your well thought out review makes my holliday complete, and yes it was because santa was kinda demonic, for some reason I had to go with thriller, it was like calling me. In any case I thank you for your review and have a happy holiday!
Wonderfully done
This was a wonderful animation. Animated to it's fullest. Very nice job. The graphics were splendid. The stars and moon looked very realistic and were drawn magnificent. The characters, or clocks, should I say, were animated and drawn percectly. I didn't find a flaw in any one of them. The message this animation tries to convey is very clear and fluid and was portrayed throughout this movie very well. The sequence of the movie was undoubtly flawless, meaning it went smoothly without an akward scene or a scene that didn't correspond to the movie as a whole. The music fitted the animation very well and was in sync with what was happening in the movie. I am glad you decided to make this movie with this message because people who at least have families should be grateful they have them where in the contrary people who have lost them or don't have them anymore are suffering and wish they had them. I hope this animation makes some people open their eyes and love their families and be grateful they have them. Very touching, and keep up the great work.
Summary Points: Wonderful graphics, Wonderful Style, Excellent Fitting music, Very nice message, Touching, Excellent animation.
Thanks much. I wish more people took as much time as you to think about their review.
Merry Christmas
