"Nice"

submission: Shopping Trip

date: September 25, 2005

Wouldn't it be grand if all shopping produce could do that? Ah, the possibilities...

A previous viewer mentioned that they couldn't play the movie, that's probably because it's using Flash Player 8 which was only released a few days ago. If it doesn't play then you need to visit the macromedia website and get the update. The animation has some nice use of the brand spanking new blur effect so it's worth doing.

"It made me smile"

submission: Mexican PinkVisor CarRide

date: June 24, 2005

but then again I did the optimisation on it. I wouldn't have done that if I didn't like it!

Reading the other reviews, I get the sense that many of the people on here take life too seriously. This vid brings back happy memories of those silly moments when it seems like it must be sunrise all over the world. If that doesn't mean anything to the people watching then I can't help but think that their lives must be a cold place. Relax, smile, enjoy the moment. The vid catches that time. If you can't relate to that then I think that's a shame.

Score: 7

"Not bad"

submission: a series of random morals

date: June 16, 2005

As a collection of images it's not bad. The randomness, which is recognised in your title, does mean that it doesn't really hang together. If there were any 'morals' in the piece then maybe that would help, but this was more a set of pictures.

I liked the style a lot, and it's something I've not seen much in the last ten years. Go back to the nineties and Eastern European animation and there was tonnes of stuff like this, and those also felt like they were a bit lost in what they were trying to achieve. Maybe that's why they died out too...

But still. I can see there's a lot of work gone into it, and I think that some of it has paid off, but maybe you should focus on getting a central theme. 'Morals' suggests that there was going to be a theme but that never really appeared. Instead you concentrated on the randomness. That's fine if randomness was what you were going for, but I don't think it was.

All the best for your next animation.
