10 Movie Reviews w/ Response

Hahaha

It's sad and everything that Luigi died...but the premise is funny. Really funny. Especially the ending.

Great work with the animation, too.

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

;).

Hahaha

The end's the best. "You both suck at shooting...and acting. Aw, SH--" *shot*

You should spoof cloverfield if you're gonna do cameraman stuff :)

Fro responds:

Ha, thanks a lot man. Thanks for the review.

I love FBF

I wish there was more FBF like this. People need to use tweens when tweens are needed. People need to chose their colors nicely. This movie is a shining beacon of light for all animators out there! Well, I might have gone a bit overboard on that last statement, but this is definitely a good example of good animation. Make more, please :)

But what were a bunch of hair dryers doing in a box, outside, in the snow?

8BitLoser responds:

A shining beacon? I like the sound of that... indeed it's perhaps a little outside my thing... but still... I like it.

Nothing Too New

The movie's quality was OK, and so was its story, but it wasn't a revolutionary movie. The silence between the character's lines in places seemed too long.

Also, it looks to me like you use a mouse to draw everything. My advice is: if you plan to get into FBF animation, you should get a tablet. It doesn't need to be a fancy tablet, just something that works. I've got a Hanvon tablet, but it's not the best. I've heard people saying the Wacom Bamboo is a nice tablet for a reasonable, afforable price.

Of course, if you don't have any plans, then you can just use the mouse, nobody will care. It's just more work to draw everything.

fortunecookiesamurai responds:

unfortunately. i do use a mouse :|
i am saving up for a tablet though.. and yeah the bamboo is a pretty sweet one.
thanks for the review!

Not long enough

I don't think the movie was long enough. The concept of Santa being a werewolf (I think that was the premise) was nice, but I think that the story should have *gone* somewhere. I'm sure if you had waited until 2009 to finish this video and given more story to it, people wouldn't have cared if it was late; I wouldn't have.

But the animation was great. I loved the look of everything, especially Santa coming down the chimney and the milk spilling. I liked those effects. Unfortunately, because there was no story, it seemed like a waste.

:: Breakdown ::

Animation/Graphics - 8.5/10
I think the Animation for this movie was great, but as I said before, it seemed like a bit of a waste because there was no story to go along with it. Of course, "story" is a separate category; the reason for the 8.5/10 is because it wasn't flawless. I noticed some places.

Story - 2/10
The whole "Santa's a werewolf" concept is great, but it wasn't expanded on enough.

Sound - 4/10
Sound choice was nice. That's about all I have to say about that.

Overall - 4/10
Great animation, bad story. Get a better story next time, or at least expand on the one here. I don't like to see good ideas go to waste.

And happy new year to you too!

P.S., if anybody has a problem with my long review, I'd just like to remind them that the review space is for *reviews*. These aren't YouTube comments!

mrnihil responds:

not everything needs a story. think of it more like an animated greeting card.

Too true

Good job. The only problem with linux is the fact that there is absolutely no flash stuff out there >:((

...but I like to be on the safe and legal side :)

Starogre responds:

good for you i respect that

Okay...

Movie's worth absolutely nothing, but we'll (I'll) give you our (my) suggestions:

Read this:
http://www.superflashbros.net/tutoria ls/show.php?file=Lip%20Syncing.swf
This is the method I use for all my lip syncing, and it works nicely. It's just very time consuming. But your method is nice...in a funny way.

Second, I think that you shouldn't have rated it teen...

DevAwesome responds:

But it used a censor...

Hahaha

I love it! Keep up the good work.

Kenzu responds:

Thank you!

Uh...

Collab? I dunno...it's a bit short. And besides, you didn't give him any credit.

Also, I thought this would be cool, but it was short and...well, not cool. Also, I think this deserves a 13+ rating. Yeah, you might want to change that ;-7

DarkHerox31 responds:

you don't know wuts a collab well a collab is you make a video random and funny and th for watching are video

Okay...I guess

Uh, it's an okay animation (if 'animation' is the right word). The music selection was nice--meaning I liked the song. The theme of the song didn't really fit though. Also, someone needs to read a flash tutorial about *tweens*! Graphics were 1/10, story was 4/10, audio was 1/10, animation was 1/10, etc., etc.

Btw, the presence of a somewhat coherent storyline was the only thing preventing this movie from getting *BLAMMED*.

ByterToss responds:

ty for the tip, i will work harder next time, much harder, i promisse xD
