Tell me your wish

"What?"

submission: Tell me your wish
date: October 12, 2009

I have absolutely no idea what's going on. None of the text is translated.
Additionally, it seems you've used as many annoying sound effects as possible, and the sounds really start to grate on the ears after a very short time.
The art style is cute I guess, but poorly animating with tweens just doesn't cut it for me. Direction is terrible as well. Would it have killed you to draw the scene from more than one perspective? It gets old.

Making A Piranha Plant

"Fantastic Sculpting!"

date: October 9, 2009

This is a fantastic sculpture, nicely detailed and expertly crafted, but this is not a flash movie. This video would be a better fit for youtube, and you could've put one of those pictures in the newgrounds art portal.

Spider-Ninja

"Cool, but seems unfinished."

You have some nicely done animation in here, but it seems unfinished. Was there originally supposed to be more?

RE: Your brains

"Great song. Poor animation."

submission: RE: Your brains
date: August 2, 2009

This is easily one of my favorite songs, and I absolutely love Jonathan Coulton. That said, I was greatly disappointed with your attempt to animate a music video for it.
First and foremost, your tweens are some of the worst that I've ever seen. Symbols seem to be moving and swaying all over the place with no particular purpose. Because of your unwillingness to redraw much of anything, pretty much all of the "movements" look like involuntary twitching.
The presentation here is decent and I think some of your direction is alright, but without basic animation skills, anything solid falls flat.
Some advice:
Because of how sporadic the movements are, I would work extensively on improving the way in which you present actions. Anticipation is just as important as the action itself, and you need to learn this sooner rather than later. The easiest way to fix this and start seriously improving? Stop tweening so much. It usually looks ugly, unless you REALLY know what you're doing.
Oh, and one more thing. If you animate to a song with a chorus, no one wants to see the same animation 3 times in the same 3-5 minute sitting. Do not reuse animation just because the song reuses lyrics. Maybe this wouldn't be such a big deal if the animation you did for this section was of a higher quality, but it's not. So don't.
I don't mean to rip too heavily on you, but I do feel that it's good to have some adversity in your path. It's how you get better. It's how we all get better.

Life in the Portal

"Amusing"

submission: Life in the Portal
date: April 7, 2009

Pretty amusing stuff. Could've done without the sonic bit though... it really feels like you were hammering that one in. But what really bothers me is how you're asking people to send you jokes for your flash series. It's your series man, come up with your own jokes. Unless you intend to credit anyone who submits a joke that you use, which I guess would make it okay. There's enough joke stealing on NG, I don't really think we need any more.

Author's Response:

Of course I will write my own jokes, but I want it to be more of a collaborative animation. Is that so wrong?! :P

Robot Dinosaurs

"Fun but lacking."

submission: Robot Dinosaurs
date: April 7, 2009

As much fun as this game is, and it totally is, I can't help but shake the feeling that it was really all over before it started. With only one boss and very little enemy variety, it really feels like a demo for a game that only lets you play the first stage. So really, I'm asking for more stages and more bosses. This thing has the potential to be truly great (not to mention absolutely hilarious), so don't let this be the last we see if this.
