Only a Northern Song

"Super sweet"

date: August 15, 2009

The art is great. Something that I've wanted to see in a movie for a while. 9.9 MB haha!
Karaoke, also something I wish there was more of... but organ karaoke? I would love to hear anyone who can actually do that.

Reminded me of that american show, "Home Movies". I loved the style in both the animation and the voice acting. I hope to see more like this. :)

Not something that I would recommend for the light hearted. It was very intense.
Interactive success. Good job.

Darnell's Recount

"Similur to Street Fighter and Rocko's Modern Life."

submission: Darnell's Recount
date: May 2, 2009

This is an awesome game. The art work alone is really impressive but I didn't expect the game play to be equally as good. Easy to do combos < left > right SMACK! I also enjoyed the game difficulty, not too hard but still quite challenging.
If this game was a bowl of onion soup then I would slurp it down delightfully. YUM.

Charlie the Unicorn 3

"Ring ring. Hello?"

date: April 6, 2009

Charlie the Unicorn 3!!?

Things I liked.
* The humor is obviously very good.
* Special effects have improved greatly since the first episode.
* Creepiness.
* Cuteness.
* Randomness.
* New characters are awesome.
* The music scene was hilarious.

Criticism.

* Just one small thing. When Charlie says "what does this have to do with snowmen?". The other two unicorns didn't mention anything about snowmen being apart of their adventure.

I'm really pleased to see another great new episode.
I used to watch the first Charlie the Unicorn episode countless times and I'm pleased to see that the new episodes haven't lost their charm.

Brilliantly entertaining episode. 10/10.
Those cartoon unicorns make me so happy.

Author's Response:

Hey there! Thanks for the review. They actually do mention the snowman early in the cartoon, right after the "That was the scariest thing I've ever seen" line. "Come with us to the future, we need your help to finish our snowman!"

Comfort

"I'm hungry too George, I'm hungry too."

submission: Comfort
date: April 6, 2009

The things I liked.
* Pop Art style reminded me of Andy Warhol or Julian Opie's work.
* Relationship between George and the women.
* The repetiveness of words and actions, such as when the woman shouts "nothing!".
* Dialog was very simple yet powerful.
* The movements of characters looked realistically human.
* Bold sound effects, such as the hooves clumping on the floor.
* The woman making a huge scene over food.
* The story's humor and darkness.
* No music.
* The ending.
* Thought provoking

Criticisms
None

Although it's never shown in the story, the characters show obvious signs of a broken relationship.
It's humorous that the woman becomes so mad over the food when it's obvious that it's not the food she's mad at. These sort of attitudes remind me so much of real life arguments.

The mystery with in the story is that we know nothing about the devil or why the woman is so upset. I like this because it keeps the viewer guessing and also creates a scenario in the viewer's mind of different beginnings and explanations to how the story ends up the way it does.

What gives this movie it's interesting vibe is the devil.
In the movie, we don't see him do anything terribly wrong, apart from eat food. This makes me think, he must have done something pretty terrible to make the woman so emotional and violent.
On the other side of the spectrum, the movie might be fooling the viewer into thinking that the devil is bad when in fact it is the woman who is the bad one.

It's a great movie. 10/10. Nothing more to say.

It's Cold Inside

"The days are cold and lonely."

submission: It's Cold Inside
date: April 5, 2009

Spoiler alert!
Don't read until you've watched the movie.

Things that I liked.
* The use of different Art materials, such as water color. This gave the movie it's unique style.
* The sickness of the character.
* Sounds and music worked well. The lack of sound was also just as good.
* The joltyness of the animation reminds me of David Firth's movies.
* The little, sometimes unnoticeable, crudeness of lines. Such as, the circled left boob of the girl or the rectangle around lonely. All things that seem unimportant but are actually little clues towards the words/images that have great meaning in the story.
* The relationship between the coldness outside and the sick minded man.
* Great use of brightness.
* The ugliness of the girl when the text on screen reads "She's kind of pretty".
* The text with in the movie.
* Other special effects, such as the photographs of the corridor popping up on the screen like a polaroid picture. As if looking back on his memories.
* It was also nice that the sick man's name was never mentioned, as if to say... he could be anyone.

Criticisms
* I wanted to know more about the girl.
* This might sound quite odd but I wanted to actually see the rape. Give me a chance to explain myself! I liked it when the girl realized what happened to her while she was asleep/knocked out but I think some flash backs to what he did to her would have made the scene more disturbing then it already is.
* The movie needed a little more of what made it really good. The sickness. The story. The everything.

I really like how you use more then the tools in Flash as your canvas. Mimicking water color on a computer is completely different then actually doing it for yourself. Using some techniques with Flash, for example the outlines of the characters, with more traditional Art creates a nice mix of the two mediums. For me, it insinuates the mix between fantasy and reality within the sick man's head.

All in all. The movie does give out a strong impression that loneliness can drive people to the craziest of crazy. Also, the style that you chose for your movie is a class of animation that is one of my favorites. On that note, although nothing is perfect, I give this movie a perfect score 10/10.

I would just like to add that it's a shame that you don't go on this site anymore because in that case you won't read this review. None the less, I enjoyed watching your movie and I hope you continue with your Art.

In Solitude

"In solitude, where we are least alone."

submission: In Solitude
date: April 5, 2009

Things that I liked.
* The notepad of paper as the background made the characters stand out more.
* The style was very similar to a Tim Burton movie.
* The simplicity of the characters and their movements.
* Music was great. Did you really make the music? That's amazing.
* Preloader was awesome.
* Good title.
* The telephone ringing at the end was a nice touch.

Criticisms
* You say you wanted the movie to look more like traditional animation. Although I did like the animation, it did not seem traditional to me because it looked like you had made everything in Flash. I wonder if it would have looked better if you had used original real life drawings. The raw organic styles of traditional animation is loosing it's effect on audiences but I think it would have worked in this movie because of it's sketch book feel.
* I wondered what the relationships between the characters where (if there is any). In the scene with all the characters together in a room, I noticed that the man looked quite similar to the boy. Are they related? This could have been another feature to the movie that could have been explored upon.

The movie expressed loneliness in the character's lives very well.
Also, the scene near the end where everyone is in the same room was a good conclusion. I thought it showed that although they are all alone, their loneliness is the one thing they all have in common.

Each character was great but for me I liked the alien the most.
Do other beings feel loneliness like we do?
It can't just be humanity who can feel such an emotion.

This movie deserves a great deal of credit. I'm stuck between giving you a 10 or a 9 star rating. I really want to give a 10/10 but I feel to be fully satisfied with the movie there would need to be more. Damn, I'm a mean bastard.

I hope you continue to write music and make movies.
This movie touched a few heart strings. Good job.
