[Blue Tot and Birdy Bird]

- Review On Request -

The animation for the bird was looking smooth, as well as the animation for the tongue. A bird doesn't fly like that though. It would curve towards the branch, going down, then up a little bit to land on the branch.
You could've used some more detail though, in the river for example and the grass. The clouds don't look realistic, as clouds don't move so fast nor do they move all at the same speed.

The story was simple, with very simple (others might say childish) humour. some sonic-like fuzzy ball thing pestering a bird, the bird craps all over him.
Not a genius plot, but it's ok and I smiled a little bit.

You could improve this, it's alright though, and you've got some real potential!
Make the next animation a bit longer, too. :)

Good luck with your career.

Fair enough.

I can't say the movie's great, but as this is your second Flash, I'll rate it accordingly.

My first impression was quite good, as you added a preloader, but I also noticed you didn't have a (back)ground. It was too bad you made a stick movie, but sticks are part of the road to good animation, as you (should) use skeletons when animating something with real persons.

The effects weren't too good, but good enough, as this is your second Flash ever.
You really should've cut the music though.
As the movie's only a few seconds long, you shouldn't put in a 2 minute song. That explains the relatively huge file size of 2 MB. I recommend using Audacity to cut the music, which could down the file size to 500 KB.
It also was a real bummer that you didn't make it any longer, and stopped in the middle of the animation, giving the unsatisfying feeling you get when a movie doesn't really end.

Overall, the animation's not good and it's too bad you didn't cut the music. But then again, you DID out in music and this is your second Flash ever, so after some consideration, I thought a six was a good rating.

6/10, 2/5.

thanks for a decent review
im working on a second one now
finding music was extremely hard though for this type of flash

A dissapointment.

To be honest I really expected something better.
The story really didn't make sense at all, like you said, and the animation was quite raw and sketchy and totally not the style I like.

I really didn't like the music nor did I think it fits the movie.

I also believe that the fact that you didn't think of a storyline, searched how to make a play button and only worked on this for 10 days, shows how you didn't really put that much effort in it.

But then again, I should remember that this is your second full Flash ever, so after a bit of thinking, I thought 6 is a reasonable score.

Please don't take this critique too personal, but it's just that you really could've put some more effort into it and cleaned up the animation, etc.

Syringes responds:

Actually I did look on a bunch of tutorials on how to make a play button. >>

I really dont care if you dont like my style because its my style and you either like it or hate it. ^_^

I put lots of effort in it but this is just a trial of adobe I only have a few more days with it so if I took any longer I wouldnt have been able to submit it.

But thanks for the 6 and I d respect your opinion, Ill take your advice and when I gain the money ill buy flash and actually take the time to make an actual story : D
