"Alright, Not Amazing"

submission: aLiveJournal: --/--/----

date: August 11, 2003

It's fine. Choreography is alright. The animation could really use more inbetween frames. It looks choppy otherwise, in several spots.

Score: 5

"Needs Serious Re-Tooling"

submission: Ro-Bot Sit-Com ep.2

date: August 11, 2003

The timing is way off on the comedy here. Study "Whatever Happened To Robot Jones?" to see how well synth-speech can be integrated into animation. The laughtrack hinders the enjoyment more than adding to the parody. Way overused. Good jokes at times but really needs some work.

Score: 4

"Poorly-constructed LCD pandering"

submission: Self-destructing organism

date: August 11, 2003

Obviously there is artistic talent here, but it's wasted on this generic excuse to shove lots of blood in the viewers' face. Seen it all before, and the story lacks a certain... everything.

Score: 3

"More of the same..."

submission: Assault Part-1

date: July 9, 2002

Even above-par animations and decent music can't hide the fact that this is little more than Choose Your Own Adventure, only without the fun.

This would get an okay grade, but the typos really hurt it, as do the fact that there are Homer Simpson sounds.. for absolutely no reason. I don't see the purpose for them being there..

Another one for the bargain bin (if only such a thing existed for free stuff).

Score: 6

"Average and outdated."

submission: L

date: July 6, 2002

The graphics are okay. I think that the spinning background is totally unnecessary and only makes the presentation feel bland as a whole.

The style is average, but I think what really hurts it is the fact that Episode 1 is, what, three years old now? And this still amuses you? Do people still laugh at twirly Matrix spoofs?

The lightsabre battle is accurate, as are mimicing the camera angles from the movie, but, again, with the rotating background, the movie feels like it has no depth to it.

And, honestly, the joke isn't worth the buildup. The orangle slicing, I could see from a mile away. I wonder why jokes like this weren't sprinkled throughout the parody, because it would've made it better as a whole.

And the sound.. can't you compress it like everyone else? Even 64kbps would still sound pretty good, and it'd reduce the filesize by half, at least.
