[Stick Killing Arena 3 pt2]

:)

I usually don't like these stick fight scenes but there were several things about this one that made it stand out (aside from the smooth movements and animation)

-very detailed and nice fighting area
-we started near the end of the fight, there were already dozens dead
-the jedi got his brains blown out
-occasional text was cool
-the terrain still existed after it was over... in fact, compared to most stick flashes the terrain was barely scratched
-hari kari :) everyone goes down in the beautiful shakespearian/tarentino style

I never thought I would ever ever say this for a stick flash, but I hope you make more

[KILLZ-OWN]

second half is best

I'm so sick of flash movies that are just start to finish action and killing... This was a nice surprise, and quite funny near the end. Your animation style for the characters was cool, very minimal but it didn't feel like anything was missing.

[7 Feet under (Noir)]

you rock! keep em coming ninja!

script- fantastic... you have action but your flash isn't based on action. I like how you laid the scenes out with overvoice in a sweet noir style. It seemed that each scene was necessary and added something to the overall. A basic literary need I know, but something that is wholly ignored by 90% of flashers (maybe more).
sounds- some of the sounds were a bit out of the flow (like the coffee drinking sound for example)
voice actors- you've managed to gather up some fantastic voice actors. Clara's voice is fantastic, our hero's voice is a bit too "i'm cool" at times though
graphics n animation- your cinematic style (as mentioned in other reviews) is excellent. The actual animation is minimal and a bit choppy at times (when he's running and his head tilts in time with the run). The graphic style itself, your drawings, are very cool, and very fitting
extra- I really dig the conversation via memory with the dead clara, and especially the way he plays down his need to avenge her. I thought the attempting suicide scene was a little too sudden and overdramatic (of course something like that is dramatic anyway but it was too sudden and strong for the scene I thought). As a last criticism... the "bloody red hair dye" had a bad name for two reasons. 1- it prepares us too much for the association between red hair dye in the sink and his memory of Clara in the tub, 2- the name itself doesn't fit with the general maturity and high class of the entire flash.

generally speaking, this was awesome and I scored you a 5 (most probably did) Great job and I'm waiting for 8 feet :)

the animation was a bit low key but it fight the song well...

the exploding head was totally not needed!

your timing on the animations and choices in matching the lyrics was great

who wrote/sang the song? Was that weird Al? it sounded like his voice (and twas a bit polka-ish).

gj :) hope Tord likes it :)

[P.M.U.L ep.1]

nice piece

very beautiful, very sad...

I only have 1 criticism. I think it would have been better as a piece, and much much more emotional, if you had used the third person. I know (think) that this is meant to mirror your personal life and feelings, but something like this would have a more profound effect when told as "he" instead of "I" and "his" instead of "my".

good job, and awaiting episode two.
