Really great

I love your voice, very personable and easy to relate too, and an amusing character you've portrayed here. The art style is great too, i love the big eyes and wrinkles on the faces, it all fits together to create quite a grim (but not in cliche macabre kindofway) mood and tone. The concept was neat too, and fairly original (i haven't seen any other flash animations like it). All in all a very enjoyable watch, thanks!

Enjoyable

This was nice and fun. It was clean and friendly, it didn't push any boundaries or break any moulds or share a new message or give some great insight into the world. But it worked. It fit with the music perfectly, the style and the story (from what you've said about the stories message). You managed to give the illusion of a lot of motion and vitality without a high frame rate, or too much fbf (if you can ever have too much!) and the art style was clean and understandable, but not totally lifeless. All in all this shows a lot of talent, and i'd love to see something a little more "personal".

Ambitious

You have set out on a very large project here, so you deserve credit for that. I enjoy your art style, it's nice that you don't use outlines, and don't overuse gradients TOO much (though at times they do stand out as cheap). The voice acting was all pretty good, and the music was lovely. Your art style is enjoyable, but at times it seems a little lazy, there are issues that could be fixed easily that are left blatantly undone (the change of focus when the rama falls out of the tree means the black silhouette of the rama doesn't fill the corners of the stage as it should). Still it was a fun thing to watch, and i wish you the best with future efforts!

thanks :)

Good to see you on NG!

I really enjoyed this animation too. The fbf was all smooth and well done, and the lighting and fancy effects blew me away. It was well co-ordinated with the music, and though the start at times felt a little static/slow. However this added to the contrast as the action built up towards the end. So my only really complaint is the pacing, and perhaps not the most amazing concept (though it was well conceived). Good luck with future stuff!

hey man, havn't hung with you since forever!
a fair assessment. detail probably changed as i got more adventerous as the process continued.

thanks for stopping by, man.

Enjoyable

Of course it's only short, but it does what it needs to. You chose to show all the right moments, and the pacing is great. The joke is short and simple but well executed. I like your art style and all in all enjoyed this animation!

Ha ha

That was fun! You have a real nice art style and your animation is top notch. I like this idea of little shorts in between full episodes, and i feel i'm getting to know the characters better already. The script was good here, the jokes worked and the timing was spot on. The voice acting is nice too, real personable. There's nothing i'd really recommend you change, just keep at it, cause your producing some great stuff!

Great animation!

The art style was really nice, and your fbf skills are great. The character designs were original and pleasing to the eye, and the scenery was interesting too. The plot was a little strange, and i wasn't qutie sure what was going on. I didn't know which character i was rooting for, and that made the fight scene a little less engaging. The music was nice but the lack of sound effects was a odd, and left me feeling a little disconnected. Still, your art style and animation skills alone made it an enjoyable watch, and it was a cool concept. Good stuff!

THE STORY IS ABOUT THE CHASE FOR THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT ON HALLOWEENS EVE. A DARK SPIRIT TRYING TO STEAL THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT OF A BOY, BUT A GOOD SPIRIT CAME TO RESCUE!...TNX MAN!

Heh heh

Interesting concept, nice to see some voice acting too. I feel that after he discovers he has "the power" the pace of the animation should dramatically increase. It is still far to slow as he walks along and the background music cuts out halfway through which really diminished the excitement levels. Also is there any particular reason you used jpegs instead of vectors for the characters heads? I didn't really understand the end either, but oh well, it was fun while it lasted/

Good start

Beautiful. I liked the transformation scene very much, with the man growing older and joining the army. The art style was extremely rudimentary and crude but i guess that wasn't the focus.. The colours are all a bit washed and murky but at least you didn't commit the most common of beginners sins, the gradient. You had some nice some nice camera work but a few more pans could have given the piece an even more cinematic feel. All in all i think you're off to a good start, and with time i'm sure you can make something great.

Cute

I liked it, nice animation. The art style was enjoyable and didn't seem to be mimicking any popular artists which is cool. I especially liked Maxs awkward face and the reconciliation moment at the end. Good work!

YergTV responds:

to be honest I attempted to copy Yotam's style for this animation specifically, but thanks for the review anyway
