OK

[SBC's Wonderful Clockmas!]

Very funny!

Like most of these things, its only really funny if you know the world of Clocks and the other cybergangs. but I do and it is. We dont write where to find ee's in reviews do we?

the subts for Going Down... weren't quite right, but I guess that's not important.

Maybe take out the sulky bit in your notes. Most people say things like 'thanks for front page' and stuff not ungrateful grizzling when they have been given a score over 4/5. lol

Lots of bits and pieces of humour some nice and subtle. loved the plug joke, the tree and the soft toy and baseball bat.
Best Wishes and Happy Christmas/Clockmas to all Clocks from the Dragons & Spirits

RupeeClock responds:

The thing is that most people don't get anything about other groups, there are some things that don't make sense to anybody, and then stuff that many people can relate to, I try to make a good mix of these things in my flash so everyone can enjoy them.

Yeah, I know that the subtitles for Going Down to NG weren't correct, but there weren't any lyrics available and I've never been good at interpreting sounds.

Well actually, this isn't truly on the frontpage, this is just an automated position that I've gotten because this movie is in the Christmas 05 collections, but more publicity is always nice. :)

Anyhow, glad you liked this movie, I'm making another for this years Christmas as well, thanks for the actually helpful review!

[Changes Episode 1]

OK.

+Art good- needs some books on the shelves! Take a look at my Ibbys Hair Restorer- the rows of books are mostly made up of just one chunk of books in a symbol reused resized and tinted!

+Sound good- I like the two voices and music OK.
+ got lip sync- not very good, buts its a start.
+Funny. Not hilarious, but OK.

the F word a few times is not really what they count as extreme here. Its not like it graphically describes anything.
I cant imagine where this is going as a series, but if you continue with the art, the animation, sound and humour, I'm sure you will be OK.

[Santa Vs Satan]

Very good

+V good art
+good animation
+Good voices
+interesting story

interesting interpretation of santas appearance

nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't change it.
Ice

[Shell Shocked]

Excellant art

+Art
+sound
+detail
+animation

-the squares he was cut into didn't seem to correspond to the squares of the net at all.
Otherwise very good work.

[Darth Vader Walking 500 M]

Short? Not for an e-card.

It goes on for quite a long time- 500 hundred miles, in fact!

+Its fun
+making him cute is SO wierd!
+plenty of characters, keeping you going

-possibly a little to long, it could maybe be condensed a little, but it is called 500 miles... so its debatable?
could you put tracks in the background?
-credits would be nice.

followed the hyper and checked out the original- sensible to follow on from an obvious little gem, weird and amusing adaption. Like it.

[COAN Concept]

Sorry I can't protect this...

...yet.

You call it an episode, but really its like an alpha, which, in my opinion, is where it belongs.

+The art is OK, although you could improve it with more use of shading
+the voices were Ok, although 'that diamond' and 'the' art gallery are hardly relistic detail.
+the animation was limited, but OK as far as it went.
+you call it The plot, it there wasn't much really- its not that the movie is that bad, it isn't, but you create such expectations with notes like that.
I would seriously make the first episode about introducing the characters more- who or what is COAD?
If you show us a bit more before hand to show who is who, maybe showing what the diamond is- eg an advert in the paper saying "the great StrawberryCLock diamond is on show in the Legendary Frog museum this week" or something, then put in a bit more action or chase after he gets the diamond I think I would more than pass it and look forward to seeing more of your work.
Good start, but not there yet.
Best Wishes,

[Attack of the Eyes]

OK stuff

Weird, of course, didn't make much sense, but its OK. You have some ability, I look forward to seeing more from you.

You might give the eyes an iris, they would seem much more real if you did, especially if you managed to do good iris' which takes some doing.

I would say that the eyes didn't really do much, but I know that the animation ability takes time.
Count me as having put more money in the slot. I'm waiting to see what happens when you can make the eyes bounce and flex in shape when they do. Also, I would like to see what happens when they meet space ships and perhaps space creatures, comets, see them get hot in atmosphere entry, interact with each other, crash into planets and make craters, wink, get eclipsed, eclipse a planet...
so many things to do!
Add more sounds next time.

I wouldn't change this one much, its OK as it is, just put in full credits for sound and muisc source etc.

Best Wishes,
IceDragon64 of the Dragons & Spirits
