[The Nothing Flash Three]

Disappointing

Sorry, but it just doesn't hold a candle to the originals.
This one was so slow paced. And I couldn't make out what was being said for most of it. The parts that were easy to understand, were the speakonia voices, and they were kinda out of place, and annoying.
Sorry it didn't work out so well.
And are you using a new mic or something? Because the quality was worse since the original.

[Treekeepers]

Nice

Don't worry Morrow, I like your "artsy" style stuff.
Excellent choice of music. You didn't credit the author, so I'm not sure who it was. Possibly you. Haha
Did you draw the Tree and the Treekeepers? There were pretty cool.
And I love the plaid gun! High five for plaid gun! Totally turned the thing into a Treekeeper! Haha!
I always love your papertowel backgrounds too! They look so sweet!

So good work again!

MorrowDays responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I made the music in garageband, so there wasnt really any need to you know, have another credit! :P
I did draw all the stuff, I drew in that line style for a little while so I had a variety of drawings I could use to make it all match, so I chose those two, the tree and the treekeeper, and then the thing on the front of the big treecutter was also a scanned in drawing.
Have fun with the papertowel background, I hope it serves you well. :)

[Handy]

Oh my...

That totally weirded me out.
Maybe the music choice was a little to happy. But i guess it was kinda happy in the end.
There were a few that needed a some more in between frames so it wasn't so jumpy.
I would have liked if you rain effect was a little transparent too.
In the end, the flash was very different. I don't quit understand, but those abstract movie can be interesting still.
I like the message of the movie. It was just a little to out there for me.

PS. How did this movie place in the finals? I know you said top 10, but were did it place out of those 10?

MorrowDays responds:

your display pic totally weirds me out, I've been meaning to tell you :)

I hadnt thought of that, a transparent rain effect is a good idea. Keep in mind this WAS done a year ago when I wasnt as comfortable with flash as I am now, but thats sort of a lame excuse so whatever. In terms of the top ten thing, they show ten in a theatre at a big movie theatre for the festival, but they dont actually rank them 1-10 from there. They do have one overall award for each age group, which are grades 3-6, 7-9, and 10-12, but its really frustrating because this one kid wins it every single year because his parents have like, hollywood equipment and his dads in the business, hes won it 4 years in a row, haha.

[The Orange Discovery]

It was a funny idea

Good choice of music.
His walk/hopping was a little choppy.
I like how you used a real wallpaper on the wall behind the cuboards.
Maybe have a speech bubble for the orange. I had an idea of what he said, but i acctually had to watch it twice to really understand. So it took away from the joke a little

[Half a collab]

I like it!

You have some really good FBF stuff in there, and seom fo it looked pretty neat. The only reason i docked you any point was because it had no music or sound fx.
I think if only it had a little music and sound, this thing would be awsome.

You definately have talent, we saw that in the Smoking Kills Collab too, if you just apply yourself to bigger projects, you could have some really great work.

PS. I love the thrusting dude that was just always kinda there. Haha

FlashKn1ght responds:

Thank you!

and yes, I do need bigger projamecs.
Actually, I'll let you ina on a little secret.
I'm planning one right now. Nothing "huge" and Its not started either... but it will be.

ooh yes... it WILL be...

[TT: 002 Runner I]

Love it

First off, glad to see this isn't going horribly underrated like the first did.

That was truely amazing. I've never seen an animation with that style. I've seen stop motions, but never with the character trail like that.
How did you postition the paper so the the camera coul scroll across it so well? Was it stuck up on the wall?

Both of you guys have a talent for making excellent music too. It fit it really well, and have a cool beat.
Some of that would have been REALLY hard. Like the transforming driving truck thing. Some really amazing work, and I can't wait for the next installment of twintrash!

Also, on a little side note. I love you guys each have your litte signature thing (.M. and >T) but for this you combine them (>TM.) Not sure if i'm the only who noticed, but cool.

[The Truth About Doom-Fan!]

Lack of effort

It would help if there was some effort involved. You just kinda slapped stuff together. It would help by spending some time, developing a story, and sticking to it.

Also, it's not my place, but i'm pretty sure TTA movies were supposed to be all deleted

Billy-Bean responds:

that was months ago!

[The One Layer Collab]

Not bad

My favorite parts were the parts with the plaid box dude riding all over the place. I could have watched a whole movie of just that.
The very last part was good to, although the explosions were a little corny.

The qaulity of parts also seemed to decline about halfway. Maybe it was just because that second song didn't fit. It was to slow and quite.

Overall I think it was pretty decent. Could have been better. I like your section explaining layers. I think it was really explanitory for those who don't use flash.

Pretty good stuff though. Hope you enjoyed hosting you first collab there Marcy!
