What is that voice?

You should include the voice source in your credits. Are you aware it is an upper class English voice? Its like some friend of the Queen would use.

Its not a bad little story. the art could be improved, with more detail, but its OK and the animation is OK.

im working on #2

rough- borderline protect

I don't think it told us much and the flash animation was very crude but at least it wasn't just a slide show of photo's , which I WOULD have bl@mmed.
There's a lot you could do to improve it, whether it gets through this time or not-
You could put in a map to show where Juno was. You could give some stats of troops involved. You could tell us more about the Canadian contribution to WW2 and maybe about when they joined in, who made the decision etc.
Maybe get someone you know who can do a good naration-
"In 194? Canadian prime Minister @@@@@ @@@@, declared war on the Axis forces and joined @@@@ in their plans to Invade Axis controlled Europe. It was agreed they would take part in the landing at @@@@ codenamed Juno..."

To make it really ace material, you could show pix of a WW2 graveyard afterward; a canadian WW2 war memorial in Canada, tell us something of the Canadian perspective looking back now.
You could put a Canadian flag in there somewhere, maybe in the animation.
Did the Canadians use any of their own vehicles or tanks? If so, pics of them might be cool.
Also, put in full credits for pictures at the end and maybe some links to other sites for more info, such as the appropriate Wiki pages.
If you want to score high for interactivity and have the chance to get a few people really interested, then put in plenty of facts, then make a little quiz at the end. See my Birth of an Island documentary, where I have done that.

Take your time. Make this a good one. Canadians should take pride in their part in the downfall of Hitler, us europeans should be grateful for their part in our deliverance.
2/5 with potential 3+ score with improvements.
Best Wishes,
Ice

Thank you for this advice, I'll put these in mind when I finish this, and I will put these in mind for future flashes as well ^^.

Not his lucky day, then!

... not anyone's lucky day!

Its sick. Its very sick. You're sick.

I laughed, so I must be sick!

aap responds:

I'm not sick. :(

It is quite interesting stuff, I do like lego and it was mildly funny. The sound was very poor at first but got much better.

However, it wasn't really flash animation, in fact it was barely what you could call animation at all, mor eof a slideshow. As such its more youtube. It could do with submtitles and a few pics of oxygen atoms, molecules and its place in the P table.

Angry-Potato-Prod responds:

I know it's not animated - - it was a project for school and I didn't have time.

Also, I didn't know ANYTHING about making videos back when I made this - - so it's VERY basic.

Ok

I tried twice but I still couldn't hear all of it. I haven't seen any DD for many months and I thought you guys were long gone. I think I prefered the anchor to that thing which looks like a wooden pallet on the faces.
Mildly funny as far as I could make out the words.
Best Wishes to the DD from the DS,
Ice

IZSBHR responds:

The DD is putting together a huuuuge collab, which will be out in mid-May. We won't die (:

good

very good art and animation
Very good sound/ voice acting

story OK as far as it goes, but too short a piece. To those of you who know something about this series or whatever it may seem OK, but to the rest of the world its just a snippet of story not a decent episode length to get into.

It needs some kind of intro to explain who/what.

Also, you need to put a hyperlink to part 2 at the end, prefereably with a sentence about what will happen, not just something in your notes.

Good work please sort it out.

touched responds:

Well, I can do that *now*, but of course while it was freshly uploaded I had no way of linking to something else that hadn't been uploaded yet. Now they're both out of judgement and I have the URLs, I can add them, but I'll probably wait until tomorrow when I can upload the 3rd bit. Can only upload 2 files per day.

Very good for 1st flash but...

Rough and crude.
you made the same mistake most people do when they make Flash about a game- however popular you think the game is, most of the world haven't played it, apart from Tetris.
I haven't played it either but I've seen it played once.
What you do is warn people in the notes first, then put in some kind of intro to explain who/what is going on.
Remember that a lot of people on NG view stuff just to vote on it. It is amazing how Tom has created such an obsession for BP points that people will view and vote on stuf fthey have no knowledge of or interest in, day after day! Anyhow, you have to cater for them to some extent, you cannot rely on only the people who are into your type of stuff.

Back to the movie. One could view it only as crude and perhaps repetative, especially if you can't figure out the idea of an Action Button. However, I view it from the perspective of one who has viewed maybe 4000 flash movies of which most first movies have been less than 1 minute long. You put in quite a lot of images, with quite a bit of action. The animation was crude but I've seen worse and it got the idea across. You put in quite a few ideas and I loved the bit where you simulated the fall down the stairs with the bumpy screen.
The sound quality is not great but voice acting is quite hard work and I want to encourage you. You can edit the rough stuff out of the sounds in Flash, by dropping the volume at various points using the sound Edit in Properties.

No, no- ignore any rude reviews. This is at least OK stuff, its a bit funny all the way through and shows you are ready to put in some work. Now go out there, improve your skills and do more. if you get stuck PM me!
Best Wishes,
Ice

FlamingMoose responds:

yeah I know that most ppl who watch it arent gonan get it and its more of topical humour which I don t know how to get only mgs fans to watch so obviously another average score. but thanks for the advice and the positive feedback, its not common around here, so I thank you. The graphics in my flashes are going up in order of appearance and so is the effort. And im doing lots of experimenting. Thanks again bud. :)

JonBro responds:

Thanks =D

Very good

Yeah, THIS one just makes it to VERY good (4/5), with the nice touch of the bandages and stitches (well drawn) from last time; a quite good joke and the characterisation and sounds of swirlberry.

Keep going with the series.
Best wishes from...etc

Karnovor responds:

Haha, glad you liked it!
I love reviews, they cheer me up. The stitches and bandages did take quite a while to draw. (I'm quite good at blood actually...) I kind of put a halt on the series and won't start it back up until I finish a major project I'm working on, that will be GOOD and actually have lots of effort put in to it.
Thanks fro your reviews. =D
