[Madness: Activation]

simple lovely but...

I really love the character development in this piece, its quite rare for madness...
okay, the one of the most cool in this shorty was (beside the fighting) the flashback. i like how u put into artistic sense to it, using scribble lines etc.

what i dissapointed in this was that u use the same ol' madness side view approachment. by seeing ur ability to animate, you should move on to normal animation which will be so much more original and aesthetic value.

overall, keep doing what u do best, but move on to the next level... :D

that is what alot of my friends say, but, sadly, i've only been animating for abot 12 months, and have yet to take a lesson on it (i really should get onto that). so what i can do is extremely limited. i am however doing some persoal experiments with distances and 3d panning..... but in 2 years im going to be in 2nd year uni with an elective of animation, so expect quality to take a jump then ;3

touching

love the part when the invade starts, the starting of the story is abit weird & sappy, idk why...

additional idea, u might want to add like heavy breathing, heart beating while the story got blurry (the guy fall down etc)
also, maybe add like ambient sound of the winds or nature w/e when eveything got a lill' bit too quite....

juz an idea, good job on this one :)

anti-climax

HATE the ending, LOVE the starting of the story.
maybe u can try to make them finish the fighting or some sort....?

[Forest 2013 Chapter 2]

Good job

First of all, i rlly like to praise on ur work for the character design (armor design), rlly look awesome. as for the story, not bad for an action story, i rlly like how u execute different angles for a certain fighting shots, nice touch. i did realize u use some kind of sprite explosion? not a fan of that, kinda spoil ur originality touch etc.

overall, good job... keep em coming buddy!

[Hyperborea]

not bad, not so entertaining

GOOD SIDE
- nice touch of "the unexpected" of the butterfly with sword/knife
- fire loop
- nice story/character development

BAD SIDE
- bad butterfly loop
- too slow paced
- silences in the movie make it boring to some ppl

yeah, thats about it, i rlly like the story diea maybe try to get to the point so u'll catch more ppl attention. good luck man

exotworking responds:

You are definitely right about the butterfly animation :3

[Zombie Cubes]

AWESOME!

wow man! really creative way to make side view fighting-n-kill-em-all movie looks good!

[W.A.R]

Wow, pffft

I really like the starting action, havent seen much flash wif that much dynamic action except for those crappy stick movies, so yeah, rlly refreshing to me. love the run cycle goes rlly smooth in this animation BUT i kinda hate the ending, dunno y, maybe bcuz its being typical....

good job on the animation man!
