[John Madden Commentary 2]

Dodge, Tinactin, Boom!, yellow and Brett

Hey guys, Fro, Thanks for letting me watch your cool Flash.

- Creativity/Originality -
This submission is a sequel/follow-up to an older submission. It's a parody of the voice mannerisms of John Madden. It's a good idea, not a new idea, but one that you've modified well. A new creation, the origins of which came from your apparent amusement at his voice. The result is very new and brand-spanking. Tough actin' Tinactin.

- Soul -
The soul of your flash is a mocking one. But one that is mocking in fun, as in you probably watch football. The animation is simple, yet it's not about the fluency of the animation that appeals. It's your voice and its variances, and how the pictures react to what you say. I watched a few John Madden clips after this, and saw the "bootleg" one on Youtube. "Boom!"

- Entertainment -
I must say - very funny. I live in New Zealand and here American Football isn't watched that much, ESPN is a minor channel. We're more into rugby and cricket, you know, the English sports. Because we're part of the Commonwealth. But I knew the name Madden because of the game franchise that was named after him. So obviously the legend lives on. D-d-d-d-d-d-dodge.

- Professionalism -
You are a long-living member of NG, Fro, and very experienced. The art of professionalism is being able to get away with as little as possible. I think Andy Warhol said that. They did a survey who could tell his art apart from a monkey's and most got it wrong. With you, this is nowhere near a monkey's work, but you've still got away with it, and that's a piece of art. Because it's your flair that counts, not just show or detail. It's a yellow one. 'Coz it was yellow.

- Reviewer's Tilt -
I sort of liked this, actually. Very nice voice, Will/Nick. I can see you guys put a bit of effort into this. But anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for letting me watch. Brett's getting married.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

Wonderful animation and conception, so-so delivery

I've been a fan of the Brackenwood series but I was always fond of the way things weren't always fully explained. But now that I know much about Bitey things don't seem much of a secret anymore. I do love your animation skills, however; obviously you have a tonne of experience and every frame is a delight to watch. I'm looking forward to you continuing to hone the craft of storytelling and I know you'll get there soon enough. Your conception is so delightful I can't help but give anything less than a 9. Just remember, it is always useful to keep much a mystery and then reveal it in due time. Well done, Adam.

chluaid responds:

thanks! The story will unfold and mysteries will be revealed but I don't plan on that ruining the series. We'll see soon enough I suppose :)

[ClayzMoviePreview -al3xx-]

Too fast, couldn't see what was happening

I was kinda expecting a longer and more relevant preview... try to put more in next time please.

al3xx responds:

ummmm..pfff...uhhhh
okay...

[PLAYYALP]

It's alright

It's a bit weird, but it's good... it's alright, as I said.

Ok, for constructive criticism, personally i didn't like the black and white thing but the flash...tography? is pretty good... the overall vision is unique.

BACHLAVA responds:

thx iam workin on a full color flash right now

[Battlepark]

Very Good

I agree that the sticks were badly drawn and seem to be animated frame-by-frame but isn't this inspiration to us amateur flash cartoonists to aspire to do something like this but do not have the drawing skills? BTW, the sticks were drawn frame by frame, right?

FatRat66 responds:

Yeah, each and every stick is animated frame by frame. Its the only way to truly animate :P
