[The Perfect Storm 2]

I don't get it

First of all, I want to say that your style is pretty cool, very smooth and fluently. Now 4 things of the movie I don't like.

- The timing is not okay. I read in many reviews people find your movie to short. You're response: 'why does everyone care so much about length these days?'. Well, I don't think the length is the point although it is very short. I think people don't get the joke because your timing is wrong. People don't get the joke because of it.
- I don't get the point of it. I assume you're trying to make something funny, but I don't get any jokes.
- You're saying you made it loop so we guys could have something to review about, well I do. Don't do that anymore I don't like loopy animations if there is no point in looping. If I want to see a movie again I want to click 'play again'. I don't wanna ask myself: Is the movie over already or does it go on? The music that goes on and on, same story.
- You're saying it is a bear. If you make a bear give it a look of a bear and don't make a giant muscled mouse. That doesn't communicate. because people get more distracted by that.

Because of those 4 things and because of you saying you did it in 9 hours that I find far too much time for this. I'm giving you a 2. Well... the fact that you got frontpage with this maybe is also a reason.

Nevertheless, keep on animating, because I think you can, and the style and quality is there. just work on your story, presentations, jokes and timing.

Thanks for making this

There is no joke to get, it's not suppose to be funny. If I wanted it to look exactly like a bear, I would have. Thanks for reviewing.

I hate clocks

I just hate all clockstuff, since i started to learn the clockmovies, I never have a watch on my arm. But... I just like your story, It is very very very good! Like it Wooowie woow keep on, but without clocks... please?

[Kids Love Pie]

not bad... but worse

just ad some graphics, you can make scenes, and you can make an own story, but those are the only good points I can think of right now... just use collour and not only a black fat brush to do al the things. Oh ad a 'stopallsounds' script because when you replay the movie, you hear two songs and that is kind of anoying (yes I know, nobody wants to replay this movie, but in case you want to make others, you know)

Sidorio responds:

CA PLANE POUR MOI!

[FINDING...]

strange cool and smooth

This is a very strange animations, but I like strange animations, so I think it is cool. And it is very smooth too! Nice 3d effects. The use of collour is also very good!
Animation: 9
Story: 7
Music: 8
Humor: 8

[JackKnife]

very very very good

Just amazing, I like the way you switch camaraviews and how the camara moves, Wooow I like the music and the way the music and animation fit very good. I like it!!! I only think the begin is a bit less quality than the end! But you have very good talents at drawing and stuff (yes I don't speak English very well) Go on and make more stuff!

["Symphony"]

I like it

I don't like most of the clock-movies, but I like this one! Nice and smooth animation, and I like the way your animation follows the music. What music did you use?

ToadClock responds:

"Battle at Witch Creek" A beautiful piece that came to popular attention when it was featured in the classic PC game "Rise of Nations".

Animation could have been better, Music was great

nice thing for one day. I just love the music! The story is very sad, but I'm not going to say: "oooooh you have a super-sad story! I give you 10/10!!!" The movie was very short and I don't think the graphics are very spectacular. I saw syndacite1 and I know your graphics could have been much better. I dont think the animation has much to do with the story you want tell. Maybe if you put more effort in it then just one day, it would have been a great movie. But as I said the music was great! I love the music of amélie in your menu, but it's not very difficult to just add it in the menu. The main reason i give you a 7 and not a 3 or 4 is that I love the music you composed. What program did you used to make it?

studio-nightbird responds:

lolz. thanks for the review. and also glad you enjoyed my song. now...the graphics. I would spend about 10 or less minutes working on each drawing (2 minutes on frame by frame). I really rushed it cuz i really want syndacite 2 to come out FAST. the menu didn't take me a hole day. really only took me 10-20 minutes to make. as for your last question I used FL Studios and live recording on the flute. thanks for the review

genius

although I don't get the point... I think it is a genius movie, I like movies without a point... The animation is also very good

[DBZ(game)-Trailer]

not very original

I think too many people made games with the dbz figures, and too many people made games with stickfigures. That's why I think this game of yours will not be very original. You didn't animate much in the trailer, you just showed us some pictures and again not very original texts. I'm not excited about the game after seeing the trailer... But I dont know what the game is like so i give you a 6... oh and please, don't loop the crap, I hate that

[The Onion Thief]

cool

I think you've seen to much of David Firth

How did you know! Have you been perving on me?!
