[Lost Silver [TRAILER]]

Dear God and merciful holy Christ! That was....Fantastic!!! And this? This is only a minor fraction on whats to come!? I can't wait! I can tell that you can be a master of classical horror and mind raping dread and concepts! I wonder, is it possible that you can create one day a Slenderman or perhaps something original like this in your future projects? You literally wowed me to the floor with your creative might and majesticness! But I digress, You've done a an incredible job here friend. you have talent for anything you put your mind to and you know how to deliver. Your style is so unique, its roughly drawn yet fluid. Its vivid yet art. And audio was well done to add elements of a foreboding and insidious nature. You are a wonderful talented creator and I give great praise on how well you perform here. In fact, your going to be on my lists of fellow artisans! I'm going to give you a 4 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. Even though this is a trailer, you've just shared with me and everyone else that comes across this your fragment on whats to come. Keep on doing what you know best friend. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

[Pikachu is Evil]

That was pretty well done friend! It was short, simple and funny! I love how you revealed Pikachu's "real" side! Your style reminded me of many mix of modern day animations, mostly in the vain of Regular Show (in a sense). Your audio was very well chosen to me. A well mix of video game (Pokemon), oldies (60's tune "Sunshine, Lolipops and Rainbows") and possibly a remixed Pokemon like theme in the end? Eitherway nicely done! I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

[Thor hangs a picture]

That was hilarious and cute! It was very predictable plot as well, but how you've presented this was very comedic and also very original in design and concept. I hope you do craft and create more unique animations like this, it shows that someone of your fair caliber can still keep original comedy alive. I'm going to bestow you a 3/5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

[Pillage Your House]

This was pretty good friend! Not bad for a first animation. For some weird reason this brings me back on the style and situational humor of [Adult Swim]'s "Home Movies". Your art style was very rough and relatively bland. Audio was a bit hard to listen without watching this again various amounts a time to understand most of the dialogue. It has very pivotal and very witty written dialogue. As previously mentioned you've done a good job here. I'm going to bestow you a 1 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

CriticalCrown responds:

Thank you for the responce, it is cool that you bring up "Home Movies", because it is a big inspiration in my animation, and my sense of humor in this animation revolves around the same humor as "Home Movies".

[Shanked]

That's pretty good! And on your first try too. I loved the simple random skit and plot. In fact you do well in situational humor in my book (Lip synching, voice acting and sound effects were very well along with those facial expressions in the end)! You got me to crack up on this little simple short. Well done! I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. You did a wonderful job on something so simple yet so very well executed. It like the world's perfect tiniest package or gift, to others it may be meager or small yet to the eyes of the beholder it is something incredibly more. Congratulations! Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review as I have enjoyed your short. Good day.

[Meet FR-05T]

That was pretty good friend! This was used in your digital animation class, eh? This to me was a nice decent experimental short to branch off of. Concept was very cute about a fierce little robotic/snow creature named "FR-05T or simply put "Frost" who has a snippy attitude with his observers! Your method was simple since the beginning and ending segments were recycled. Audio was fair, especially minor effects to give "Frost" his minor demeanor or his mannerism (Simple growls to know that he's not kidding with the curious onlooking audience!). You've done well in my in your presentation. I'm going to bestow you a 2/5 and a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

serge1290 responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism! Like I said, this is my first Flash animation but I'm glad you liked it for what it is. I DID have a different ending where I didn't recycle the end but found out AFTER I turned it in that it had to be a continuous loop, IE go back to where he eventually started hahaa. I made te revision what it currently is and hopefully get a better grade for that. Thanks again!

[Freshest Goofs: Tarantino]

This was an okay flick. The only thing that you got right was Quintin's mannerism. Impersonation was so/so but as I reiterate this was good for a few seconds of giggling and then gone. I'm going to give you a 1/5. And a 1/5 in voting power. Keep trying friends, you'll hit it perfect with me one of these days. Good day.

[Donkey Kong CoE-Ep.1]

This was pretty good! Most of the things down feel bit cliche yet it was surprisingly fun as well. Your style was simple and such but very neat as well. It felt like watching old anime with so many unique expressions. Audio is bit mixed once in awhile but does add those dynamic moments for this short. Again as I reiterate, this was actually pretty good. Now you got me curious on your ending! I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. You've done well my friend. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

DiamondPearlBrothers responds:

Thank you very much for your detailed review. Well this is our very first flash movie, so we are
glad when you tell us how to improve things.

[Shadows]

This is very well done! Your a great animator you know that? You've done well with your use of style. I especially admired your use of the background in its lighting and shading techniques. Most animations concentrate way too much on the forefronts or the center stage of their topics (Such as characters). Audio was exceptionally good. The melody that accompanied your short add more of a visceral and deeper impact of your story. The real winner of this subject is your tale. The dreadful powers and fears of depression and its destructive effects. I learned sometimes strength and will alone may not fully vanquish such malevolent forces. Sometime as you've mentioned and said one needs a helping hand from someone in one's family or friends or even loved ones to help heal and aid you and give you comfort from the dark thresholds of an unforgiving world. you've shown great expressionism here, and it makes me wonder (forgive me if I pry) what you've gone through if possible to craft something that is expressed and given a manifestation on your part? To me this is very deep to be crafted by anyone who has not went in this path before, To me something speaks to me that you have suffered some scars before too. I love and admire art since not only is something presented by the great keen mind, heart and soul of the artisan but their very essence of pure emotion and what they deem and see the world as. Picasso taught me such and insight and then Van Gogh. These men have shown the world and to this very day the power of emotions through their art forms. They have shown how happy they become and the depressing side they can fall to (its known as the "Blue" period in an artisan's life). I humbly apologize as mentioned previously. You appear to be a very intriguing artisan. I've reviewed and seen many works here and rarely feel so much pure emotions but only from a few. You are a unique soul friend. I'm gong to bestow you a 3 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. You've done well to express your tale. I am here for you and if anybody has any heart or understanding, then they will know too. I hope you've enjoyed this review. I hope you contribute more woks in the future here. And to quickly note you are on my list of favored artisans here. I wish you a good day friend.

Cr1sisEntertainment responds:

Holy crap, this is a detailed review. Thanks! I plan on doing something like a pokemon, Smash Bros. or Zelda cartoon next or something with games and comedy, so I won't be doing all serious stuff. I'm really glad you like this.

To answer your question and not really get too much into my personal life, I have a lot of experience with battling depression and I felt that this would be a great way to express myself before I try out some comedy.

[Game Grumps Donkey KONG!]

Well done! I'm quite surprised on your animated piece here. For someone that hasn't loaded on here for three years you surprisingly retained most of your artistic flow here. I honesty was expecting to see something that might be a bit edgy or too rounded (since you can't blame one animating skills for diminishing in due time from lack of activity) but you've proven my expectations wrong and I applaud for that surprise twist! You managed to capture pretty good synching in your short here. And the overall comedy of it all was something that left me chuckling for a bit. Other than your impressive style and fluid animation I don't see too many flaws other than what I previously pointed out which was synching. I reiterate you've done a fantastic job!!! I'm going to bestow you a 3/5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

Himiska responds:

I really appreciate this really long review of my work and I can tell you and read this 3 times over. As you maybe have pointed out, the synching of the whole video may be a tad off including the lip animation but that's only because I did this on 3 different layers which I realized I should've been more organized when doing something like this.
However, I will assure you that I will try to improve my art here through experimentation and better organization of the animation to give out the best work that I can give.

Cheers!
