[Life of A Smiley: Intro]

Rudy!!

Sweet!
That's a really awesome idea for a series. I think if done right, it could turn out epic. You could probably do the entire series without any talking too.
Unless you've got some funny oneliners and what not planned out ;)

I look forward to seeing where this goes.
My favorite part was the yelling smilie who couldn't eat his sandwhich.

Do you already have the series started, and this was a demo? Or was this the demo to get your started, then you'll start then series?

Rudy responds:

Well, this isn't a demo or anything. This is actually the introduction for the series. I am going to use voice work though, dialogue is needed for this. I think there will be a few silent episodes though which will be fun. I think I'll release episode 1 on Sunday, it's already in the works so we'll see.

Thanks for the review.

[The Heavy Object Collab]

Nice collab

That was actually a really cool collab. One of the better ones out there probably.
It was an awesome concept. Something I've never seen before.
I like that everyone had to use the little shute with the treadmill thing.

The best parts were the two by Grubber. I had never heard of him before this, but he did awesome FBF stuff with his parts.
My least favorite were the people who tried to be "hip"
Like the "i heard you like mudkipz" guy. No offense. His part had good animation. But I'm sure your witty enough to make your own joke, and not just use popular things.

Overall, nice work. Maybe next time on the credits, don't use the same sound for every name. It just sounded sloppy after the first few in a row.

RatherCheesy responds:

I'm glad you liked it, and just so you all know I've started to redo the sounds in the credits, I'm downloading loud crash sounds like crazy and I'm switching them up.

[The Press & Punch Collab]

Great start to Pico 08!

This is amazing!
Such a good idea for a collab!
The variety of styles really added so much to it.
Usually when they styles differ so much, the collab just won't run smooth enough, but this way made it 100x better.
Overall an amazing collab, and an excellent start to Pico Day 08 (Han's part was my favorite, loving the new style your using)

I like that it was submitted at exactly 12:00am. Very nice ;)

AlmightyHans responds:

i was wondering if someone would point that 12:00 am thing.

[IndianaStick]

Nicely done.

What did you place in the contest?

And it's a same you didn't have time to add the hat :(
The animation is great, and everything is really smooth, espcially for 20fps.
I just miss that Indiana Jones hat. Good use of wip though :D
The hat alone wasn't enough to bring down your score though!

Miccool responds:

1st! :D

And yeah.. I might have missed the deadline if I added a hat. But I'm glad you could see my problems and not review low just because of a minor detail.

cheers

[300 Sticks]

Dude!

Fairly short, but awesome!!
You could be Newground's next great stick animator!!
You have some really cool effects, and smooth animation.

I especially love your backgrounds in your movies. They look awesome, and I don't know how else to describe them.
Great work, can't wait to see more from you!

tman93 responds:

Goat-Man!!

I'm like in 2 of your collabs C:

anyways, thanks for the comment!

[Sorry Tom?]

Mean looking camel

I think it's hilarious how fast you made a flash in response to flashes that are in response to a spam day!

I'm coming home sweaty!
I would have loved to see Wade kicking some clock crew ass though. Blowing away some camels, and clocks and such.
Oh well. Made even funnier that I was there on camel day and saw that all go down.

I can't get over how awesome your camels look!!

Rudy responds:

haha! Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Shame, I wasn't around on Camel Day :P I wish I was though, I just saw these submissions and went "whoa."

Awh, man. I'm kinda disappointed on the score this got though.

[Clocks in the Rye]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

One thing I have to wonder is why it advertises XPOGames when it's not a game or anything...?
You'd better be getting paid for that :D
My school would never let my hand in an assignment with swears and stuff. haha

Really well done. Even though I had never read the book, it was still entertaining. And emotional on a very humorous level.

You really like your Halo music don't you? Oh well, it fits nicely.

Pelemus-McSoy responds:

It's me preloader is all...I'm getting paid with a grade in English class...hopefully I pass it... o_O If she gives me a bad mark on this, then I'm done with English class.

Hooray! Entertaining despite not reading it! That's good! And emotional things are good, right?

Halo music = awesome. Hands down.

Back to game designing now!

[Animation Challenge Wk1-3]

Nioce

My advice of submitting only every 3 weeks was used! I feel special!
Although it rpobably would have ended up being like that anyways to give people time to send in their .FLAs. Haha.

My votes would count towards nothing, so I'm not going to bother.
It was cool to see what people come up with in a week.
Some obviously spent a good portion of time, others were more like an hour, but that's okay.

My only two complaints are
1) Do something about that disgusting pixalized Tom Fulp. For some reason it just doens't fit the movie at all. Maybe if there was something a little better to put in the corner there.
Maybe a picture of yourself? Since you have more to do with this.

2) Don't accept submissions that people made prior to this contest. The whole point is for people to have a week to make a creative flash. If they take old work, they could have taken all the time they wanted, and wouldn't even have to try.

Rudy responds:

Yeah, you're right about the whole timeframe bit and the Tom Fulp ehhh. Oh well.

Thanks though.
