AHHHHHHHAHAHHAHAAAhahhaha
I think that's the funniest thing I've seen in my LIFE, let alone on Newgrounds. I cannot wait for Part 5, holy potatoes man, Luke, the Professor, Carl, the Doctor.. They're all too amazing.
Please keep it up, and please maintain the hilarious standard of high quality in your "scripts".
Hmmm...
3 Stars for the animation - I'd give you more but the jokes in your short, they were just so cliché. I know you were paying homage to your favourite animated director but that doesn't mean you have to completely copy his (or whoever wrote them's) ideas.
I'm pretty sure we've seen almost every one of those accidents happen to Wile E. or one of those cartoon characters over 10 years ago; you could've thrown some completely original ideas in there. So don't say "Story written, directed, and created by Anthony Watts" if it isn't so... "Story inspired by Chuck Jones, jokes rearranged and slightly altered by Anthony Watts" would be more appropriate.
But good work on most of the animation; I'm just disappointed by the lack of originality in this front page flash.
Copy? Why not? It's a fantastic way to learn about your favourate artists, like you have woth your work it's so bloody wierd and you've obviously looked a david firths'work. After a while you'll work it into the style you've already developed, and like i've said (I'm just repeating myself now) I wanted to get this out of my system so i can concentrate on my own stuff, my own ideas, my OWN style. I even said in the authors commentary i have a go at imitating them.
Oh well, at least 3 is a magic number and I'm on the front page. =D
yeah....
i agree with the last two people... you clearly masked a lot of this and it looks like you didn't spend much time on this. a kind of neat idea but it's been done before, and been done better....
not that you care, but if you want more respect, do it all by hand or spend more time on the actual animation aspect. otherwise it's just another plain frame-by-frame animation equivalent to stick men, but masked or imposed onto a post-it note or paper.
I actually didn't use any masking... I just drew in the right places.
If I did it by hand, it would defy my original idea. Also, you'd just have people complaining that it should have gone on YouTube instead, as this is a site for Flash.
Now, about the score you gave me... A one? Really? That's the appropriate reaction to a movie like this? I'm assuming you're just trying to counteract all the positive reviews I've been getting, since based on what you actually WROTE I deserved at least a four. You honestly consider this blamworthy? That's just insulting.
yo
it was good, but maybe get more voice actors or whatever, cuz i didn't watch the credits so i dunno if you did all the voices, but all the characters sounded too similar...
I understand where you're coming from, but I've got huge trust issues :) Go figure that the only other person who does a voice (TooField) is quitting at the place we work at together, and we live kinda far apart, so I dunno how much longer he can VA :(
i don't get it.
a) did he sneeze?
b) did his sneeze's inhale suck the other person in the elevator towards him?
c) did this cause one of them to die?
d) which one died?
a) hachooo.. no he took a crap?
b) No.. geuss not..
c) the sneezer died i geuss he was still standing
d) Me?
hmmm...
it was good, but you didn't even get to the best part of the song!
"you got an organ goin.. no wonder the sound has so much body..." du du duu etc.
One of my friends wanted me to include that part too. I'm pretty sure that part isn't actually on the Organ Donor track. I think its in one of the other parts of the album where he brings in the Organ Donor theme. Besides, I wanted it to be all music.
too short/not dynamic enough...
very nice shit though! i liked it. just gotta be a lot longer. very very much the style of SSX On Tour, the snowboarding game. if you've played/seen it, you know what i mean.
I never seen that game.
But thanks for the tips.
=)
Deep...
For those of you who thought there was no real meaning behind this flash... What? Of course there is, and this is my take on it...
The beetle feels the need for a better American leader (in this case obviously republican - the elephant couldn't be clearer), and creates one. However, once all the patriotism and show has won over the population and consequently the vote, the new leader actually becomes a monster and begins unjust wars and such, and propaganda machines are born in the process. Sound like anyone we know? Perhaps that simian president? In the end, the beetle feels remorse and regrets ever creating such a creature, and in turn exterminates it. This last part is merely fiction. The rest? It could very likely be a retelling of the story of George.
This is just my take, as a foreign viewer who's been watching the eyes of the Republican population of America being blindfolded. However, I would love to hear from the author himself... What was the actual story being told?
Now to the actual assessment: The graphics and style were visually pleasing. Very crisp - I like. You put so much detail in this flash, which really made it stand out. One scene in particular; the X-ray was nicely done. The Asio Kids soundtrack went well with the flash, and you managed to match what was happening in the animation with the actual song - kudos. The violence and humor weren't supposed to be the main focus, I'm assuming, but there was definitely a lot of calculated irony.
Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this one - thanks for putting much thought into your flash.
As long the submission continues to spark intelligent discussion and thoughtful dialogue, I don't mind the cartoon being open to interpretation. More than anything I want people to start thinking about the nature of war; what is it that makes one nation destroy another, and what are our possible alternatives?
Thank you for your comments.
