Nice work

I liked your sense of humor. It's not original, but it's got good timing and decent voicework. You're also good with animating lyp-synching. On the other hand, the backgrounds weren't so great and some bits of the characters were poorly animated. But the humor kept me interested and made me smile.

How isn't it original?

Short, predictable and sloppy

The punchline is predictable and unfunny. It's just an obvious joke that turns your animation into a quick glimpse of a cart passing by on a sloppily drawn rollercoaster.

Ah, constructive review, thank you

Fucking Brilliant

Sam T, your political comedy is genius. It's nice to see someone refuse apathy and bash Fox News, Wal-Mart and that idiot, Hannity ("she breathed on me!"). The song was hilarious. The animation is smooth and the visual is slick. The voice-acting is top-notch. All in all, another brilliant animation by you. Thanks for the laughs and for the intelligent criticism on aspects of the USA.

Nice Work

I think "Awesome's Creed" could have been changed to another title. The jokes would have worked even without Egoraptor's "awesome" style. But aniway, it is still very funny ("You're not praying! You must be the murderer!"), and animated right like Awesome animations. The voice-acting is great (the moment the doctors and Altair laugh is perfect). Good job.

"Full of Energy"

Visually very nice, and with a quick animation full of energy, but smooth. You have a nice aesthetic sense, creating some beautiful frames, like the panoramic vision of the bridge or she standing among many graves. The coloring work is ace.

Also, you tell the story without using words, and you tell it very well. There's cool ideas as well, like the "swordpistol".

But I didn't like the music (maybe it doesn't fit the story itself, I dunno) and the final battle is resolved too quickly. Also, the lineart looks a little sloppy and could have used some refinement.

Overall, very entertaining and nicely animated. Good job. :)

"Wait until he gets close"

Not perfect, but with absolutely brilliant moments. The parody with the birds was a stroke of genius. Also, the "hash" in "hashashin" is the best quote. I also like the "I'm in the monk position". The voice acting is good.

Technically, it fails due to sloppy animation (forgivable, you probably did this fast so you wouldn't miss the wave of Assassin's Creed parodies) and the non-existent sound effects. You said they weren't working. Try messing with FILE > PUBLISH SETTINGS on Macromedia Flash, and set the sounds to MP3, RAW SPEECH or whatever setting is there, and keep trying until the sounds are in synch.

Overall, very good work. Just be careful, some jokes were too stretched, like the "I'm a monk" one. But the "Shiiiiit" was great.

Thanks for the laughs. :)

Melodramatic

Simply exaggerated, with excess of tears and the wrong visual style. The facial expressions are embarrassingly artificial, and the way the story progresses is simply dumb. The bum giving the kid money was simply ridiculous, the climax of this movie's efforts to bring a tear to the viewer's eyes, at which it fails miserably. It was also the point I had to stop watching, not only for boredom but because I can't stand when a movie tries so hard to make the viewer cry or at least feel touched. I didn't.

Sorry, but you need to balance the drama much better than this.

Histerically funny

I don't believe I've ever seen a flash movie with such sharp dialogue. Maybe Chris Nosal's Bad Guys. But this is just a masterpiece, easily. "Good, maybe there'll be a walking pussy instead! Maybe it'll be you!". Also, astonishing voiceovers, every single one of them.

You also have a great aesthetic sense. The camera angles, the colors and the drawing style are all attractive and well-chosen. The walking pair of tits is hilarious, and so is the mastermind, who looks all creepy and shit, but can't put together a good comeback sentence (with the glorious exception of the "walking pussy" bit).

One of the best animations I've seen in a long time.

The-Swain responds:

I've heard some comparisons to Tankmen before (not a surprise, as JohnnyUtah is one of the local artists whose style I study from the most), but I think BadGuys is much closer :D

Brilliant

As usual, Adam, you left me speechless. But I'll try to overcome that and say something anyway.

Your animation keeps getting better and better. The water and the insects (if that's what they are) are pure eye-candy. Everything in this flash is, but these are the ones that really amazed me. And the story is delightfully simple as usual, and explained purely with visuals (which takes talent). Also, the landscape changing as Bitey leaps past it is amazingly well-done.

I also enjoyed seeing old characters from previous Brackenwood stories in this flash. The flashbacks had me in stitches. Also, the idea of those bubbles that get bigger when stirred is excellent and very well executed here.

Only a minor setback (beware SPOILERS!): the ending could've been more inspired. Bigfoot could've punched the bubbles out of Bitey's mouth and then tossed him away to the sky, echoing the ending of Bitey of Brackenwood, or something similar. Just sticking Bitey's horns on the wood as he vomits the bubbles was kind of... too simple. Inconclusive. After all the grief Bitey causes to Bigfoot, Bigfoot's revenge could've been something better. But that's really a minor setback and the final score is still a much deserved ten.

Thanks for all your wonderful stuff, Adam. I'll be waiting anxiously for the next Brackenwood story (and upgrading my PC to be able to watch it :D )

chluaid responds:

Funny you should mention punching and flying through the sky, as that was almost exactly what my first storyboard had as the ending. The morrug (hugefoot) shakes Bitey and the waterlollies all inflate violently inside, turning him into an instant sphere.. then one of the waterlollies pops out of Bitey's mouth and splits like a water balloon on the morrug's face. Angry, the morrug boots him off into the distance.

I decided against that ending because the big guy getting revenge against Bitey seemed a little too much of a cop-out. I wanted Bitey's humiliation to be a punishment from his own body, rather than someone else.. which I figured would be even more humiliating. I do think it ends too abruptly though, so if I were to rework the ending, I'd build it up a bit more before the inevitable explosion.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to review and don't worry about a PC upgrade for the next Brackenwood. My plans are to make shorter chronicles that play reasonably in the browser.

Not funny

You must be shitting your pants laughing at all the people's faces when they see all the nice logos build up to a complete anti-climax. Wow, what an inspired joke.

Really, that was ridiculous. Not funny and not unnerving. In the end of the day, I lost one minute of my life. Why should I be angry? I'll just rate it "0" and go on with my day.

In other words, any goals you had with this movie were not fulfilled with me.

Get a life.
