Animation talent

Your talent as an animator is obvious. The art was good.

The story itself was pretty predictable. Just the name Mentos Mishap let me know pretty much what to expect. And it wasn't funny. It just wasn't funny.

Also consider a different theme. This has been kinda done to death. Retarded Animal Babies, Happy Tree Friends, etc. I've seen the Cute fluffy animal / horrifically awful situation juxtaposition done. And this doesn't really do it in a new way.

Don't stop though. You don't need me to tell you. You've got talent.

P.S. It needs a replay button. I don't want to listen to it loop over and over again while I review. It works with Weeble's stuff because it's seemless. This has a beginning and an end. When it's done let it be done.

Glummies responds:

Thank you for your honesty....this is the first submission. I believe HappyTree friends vs Glummies are very different as it is a softer core representation and mild humor. The mentos thing has been overplayed....but comeon....a bears head ripping off because of it....Funny! Thanks for your honesty! We will work on the loop thing....haha

Sync

Your sound was waaaaaaaay out of sync. Set sound to streaming. I think this will get blammed in part because your visual punchline comes, again, waaaaaay after the sound cuts off. I couldn't tell if this would be funny synced up. I wasn't that amused. And I should have been. It's a shape wearing lingerie.

LiamTaylor responds:

i think the out of sync-ness is due to the fact that i had no proper mic, plus i can never get my audio to sync right anyway.

its a skill that i must learn,

thanks for the review though

Good work.

That beginning walk sequence is really slow. And your use of sound effects seemed sporadic. Sometimes there was sound for movement. Sometimes there wasn't. Could do with some background music as well. That all said this was a good piece. Well done.

this is not good

I'm offended by your inability to pronounce words. Bosom. Bo (like 'book without the 'k') som (zem). And the 'dot dot dot' is called and ellipsis. Be less ignorant. Listen, I think the mormon religion is a bunch of crap. But this wasn't clever or funny it was just hateful. Which gets an extra little twist of hypocrisy when add in the christian propaganda at the end.

your so smart because your an athiest!!!

Not Bad

Please set the sound sync to streaming.

Shit

So while I was watching this I thought. That's amazing work. I never see this kind of effort in the portal. And I thought who is this artist? He needs some props to keep doing this. I guess I assume everything in the portal is done by people just starting out. I saw author: Mindchamber. No wonder it's so good. Everyone big and small goes through the same door.

Hats off to you sir. That was kick ass.

Music?

Who did the music?

the song is stella.

Seriously

Use streaming sound. Look it up.

I can't tell you how often I see this. There should be a requirement. Before you are allowed to submit anything you should have to know about streaming sound.

Other than that there really wasn't anything here that was funny or interesting. Better luck next time.

GraphicGuy22 responds:

thanks for the kindness, but besides that what website do YOU use for streaming sound for YOUR flash videos?

not really that great

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the work involved. It's just that I've seen it before and I've seen it done better.

blublu.org has a fantastic video on it utilizing the same technique to greater effect. Really exploring some of the boundaries of what can be done.

What can you add to this? What can you do with this that no one has yet?

Coddingtown-Reject responds:

True I know it has been done before, but at this point almost everything has been done at least once, the only thing you can do is basically try to put your own spin on it, and do it in a stylized manner. So to your two questions, technically I can't add anything to it because it's finished, and it's what I had in my head and I'm proud of it, the only thing I could've done is improve on it, but I can't go back and improve on it since it's done now and the wall of that shack is already filled up with it. As for the second question I tried to answer that in the first of this response.

I've got your nose!
