"I've always loved your work!"

submission: the Last of the Dashkin

date: December 18, 2009

I like the story behind the Brackenwood Series, each installment left me curious as to what will happen next. This episode intrigued me as it let me understand Bitey a whole lot more, and the ending left me at an exciting cliffhanger.

There is much to say about the quality of work here too, fluidity and detail of the animations and backgrounds. Appropriate music, very nice.

I am definitely looking forward to the next one.

Score: 10

"I loved this!"

submission: The Last Gift

date: December 11, 2009

I loved the textures and brush strokes in the majority of this work. It helped the flash seem so seriously Christian/spiritual but... the twist caused me to burst out laughing. Nice job, playing with expectations.

(Not to say I'm really of the spiritual type...)

Score: 8

"Intense, but mostly enjoyable..."

submission: 41st Reality

date: September 27, 2009

I must second Pyrocius' statement on difficulty to distinguish the cursor...

Perhaps, the cursor(s) could be more solidly filled? (I mean the mouse cursor and/or the shooter cursor...)

I must say though, this is one of those few shooter games that got me interested. The imagery like Space Invaders in this was novel to me. The colors entranced me a bit too- a might bit distracting (and, well, intensive on the brain).

I like the musical loop you chose, it seems to fit the mood, in my opinion.

Score: 10

"This is quite good..."

submission: A Bid For Freedom

date: July 8, 2009

The various forms of art in this melded together well, in my opinion. The voice-acting was perfect for the prose and the stylized watercolor illustrations really fit well. The illustrations seemed like something between sophisticated and zany- as was the story.

It was also surreal and seemed anachronistic to me- the strangeness attracted me further; referencing things like YouTube when everything else in it made me think of an era like The Great Gatsby mixed with King Kong. Speaking of The Great Gatsby- the diction of this piece made it more so reminiscent to it- verbose and heavy use of aforementioned modifiers and adjectives.

Score: 9

"I'm digging it!"

submission: Abnormality Episode -1-

date: July 2, 2009

Though there are some tropes and whatnot...

I'm a sucker for plots like this- and I would love to see where you take it! The story has me very intrigued- the animation carries it well so far.

Score: 8

"I don't know what to say.."

submission: Darfur Satire Shorts

date: July 2, 2009

This was a strange viewing experience for me, to be honest. Primarily because of the serious undertones cloaked in humor- it made me laugh but also feel guilty. I've usually kept my interests in the news minimal and hardly pay attention to it- so this Darfur situation was kept rather vague to me (a bit of a cynic as it goes with the news.)

I am certainly glad to have been enlightened a bit on the matter though- albeit belated.

I do like both parts' animation. I guess the serious tones for what Megatron does at the end hit a an emotional nerve (not that that's a bad thing- just effective for your goal) in spite of the fact the whole presentation was meant to be satire.

Score: 9

"Wow..."

submission: H.E.L.L

date: July 2, 2009

I can't help but say I really like your take on the idea of hell (of course its a bureaucracy, makes perfect sense.) I think its well executed.

I dig the various references and especially the twist at the end.

Score: 7

"In agreement with skypirate1989 here..."

submission: Choose Your 2012

date: May 21, 2009

To supplement: found that the most bothersome clickable being that games link on the bottom left... perhaps you could make it a bit smaller?

Though watching the carnage is fun, anyway. (I do like some of the special effects from certain achievements, too)

Score: 8

"I have no idea what to think!"

submission: Frankenstein Trailer

date: May 18, 2009

I have just completed reading the novel as homework for a Humanities class at my college. I really did like the book quite a bit! The nature of the class was to compare things like the literary, scientific, artistic, intellectual atmospheres of different time periods of Western history (Romanticism- Frankenstein.)

I admit that some of jabs at the book made me laugh (I especially thought the photo-manipulated portrait of his creature was pricelessly funny.)

The love letter, though your intention obvious, bugged me ever so slightly... definitely killed whatever seriousness that specific letter held within the book!

Score: 9

"Somber..."

submission: "Strange Fruit"

date: April 22, 2009

Befitting the original poem as well, Nina's lyrical rendition. When, I did see "Strange Fruit" I was thinking immediately when I read it before in an English class during high school. To say it was moving was an understatement.

I think that the dark shades and small animation reflects the stillness of death accurately. So, I think that was a good artistic choice.
