[hitchHiker: part Two]

Good conclusion.

Hah, that is a great conclusion. I enjoy the style of it all, and for the most part the audio is pretty good, a bit rough sometimes, but good. It's pretty humorous, but mixes with the suspense/thriller genres as well. Good job.

[hitchHiker: part One]

I like your style.

The style and overall artwork/animation for this Flash are good. The sound effects of the cars passing could be better, but overall this isn't too bad, although it doesn't seem to contain too much content. Also, when he was animated walking away (with the fading effect) I expected that to be the end, seemed a bit odd it wasn't. Anyways, not too bad. Definately like the style of the artwork/animation the most.

Messy.

The artwork and animation is overall pretty messy. Clean things up a bit and put more time into it and I think you could be a lot bettter. Oh, and you really need to improve your blood.

The story could have potential.

The storyline wasn't anything too new or exciting, boiling down to a basic revenge plot (from what I could tell), but it seemed pretty cool. However, the artwork and animation were just plain horrble. 3D animation can look great... if you can do it properly. But when the shading constantly flickers and everything looks scratchy and unrefined, it takes away from the viewer's experience. Drastically. The animation was choppy and slow, and while watching it I felt nothing. I think 2D animation would be much more effective for something like this, as it can portray emotion better, 3D just seems too artificial, expecially when done like this.

I know this is "old" and "unfinished" but if you are going to use 3D, learn how to use it better before trying to undertake a project such as this.

[7 Feet under (Noir)]

Once again, could've been better.

This animation is cliche, but not in a good way. The artwork issn't too bad, although sometimes it seems to clash a bit with the other artwork on stage. The animation could have been better, it seemed a bit lazy. Add in more frames for movement. I do realize it is time consuming to animate detailed fullbody models, but if you take the time to do so the viewer expierence will positively increase. The voice acting needs a bit of work, it comes off as forced and rather annoying to listen to. The voice acting for Clara isn't too bad, it is much better than the other voice acting in the animation.

The storyline is cliche, but having a cliche storyline isn't always a bad thing, as long as the details are fresh or done in an exciting way. However, in the case of this animation, this is not so. The lines are cliche, the scenes are cliche. Everything is cliche. The music selection is better though, compared to the first installment, so that's a plus. A plus resding in a sea of negatives.

Work on your animation, keeping everything fluid, and try to not write such cliche material.

[6 Feet Under]

Could've been better.

This animation could have been much better. Some of the animation was a bit lazy, the blood didn't look too good at all, some of the voice acting, mainly the "Who wants to know?... Your executioner." part, was forced, and the music choice during that scene was horrible as well. First it slipped into a metal song with a fast double-bass, but then went right into a melodic, sweet sounding song. That didn't flow very well.

Besides that it wasn't too bad, the artwork was great, and some of the animation, considering it was done with such detailed artwork, wasn't too bad, but it would have been so much better if you actually took the time to animate more, putting in more frames of the body part or whatever it may be moving realistically rather than just dragging it up or down.

[Gamer Kids: Modern War]

Nothing Great

This isn't anything outstanding. I didn't find it all too hilarious. The visuals weren't bad, except for Lan's neck, which was HUGE. However, Lan's neck changed size on more than one occasion, which was weird. The audio wasn't bad, but could have been better. The animation was also limited. Finally, I just didn't find this to be that funny.

[Knee Deep in Death 2]

Definate Improvement

This is a great imrpovement on the first installment. The animation, artwork, and effects were good, but the part where the picture of the main character's best friend changes from a normal face to a zombie face was kind of cheap looking.

[Knee Deep in Death]

Nice

The artwork is really good, I like the style, the animation wasn't bad, but I think you could really do a great zombie story, as opposed to a minute long gore-fest.

[(Old) Pawn of the Dead]

Okay

The animation and movements needs some work, but the artwork is pretty good. This animation has some funny jokes, but they aren't incredibly funny. The audio also isn't very stable and will go too low or too high. Okay animation.
