Parkour Parkour Brooklyn

"Has potential, but needs work."

date: November 18, 2009

The control scheme has been done before, so it's not that original.

The animation was jerky and not fluid at all - the opposite of what parkour should be.
I think you should practice your animation skills a LOT before you make the whole thing.
Maybe this could be good, if you made your animation much more fluid.

The character design was bad, and didn't fit with the background.
To me, this game doesn't really manage to pull it off. It has some potential, but it needs some work (animation-wise) before it can mature into a full-blown platformer.

Maybe you should check out The Animator's Survival Kit, it's a great book.
Remember. Fluid animation.

Making A Piranha Plant

"Stunning."

date: November 2, 2009

This is just fantastic.
It looks so lifelike. You must be an amazingly artistic and creative person, with tons of patience to pull that off.
It's great, and it's inspired me to try and make my own.
Thanks!

Orions Spartans: Origins

"Nah."

date: October 1, 2009

Animation:
It would appear that the animation is done almost solely via tweens. It's too fast, and it looks jerky & cheap.

Graphics:
The graphics seem to be recycled in several areas, but other than that they're pretty decent. It's just a shame that they're let down by the half-assed animation.

Sound:
The music's trying to make the whole thing more epic than it actually is.
The voice acting is a tad cheesy, but I've heard worse.

Okay, so...
Origins? What is this? A rip off of X-Men: Origins?
To me, that shows unoriginality. Not only is it a rip off of a game series, it's also a rip off of a movie's name.
Oh, and even the name doesn't utilize correct grammar.

And, by the way, I enjoy playing the Halo games.
But this doesn't do them any justice.
For shame.

Poor job.
Try harder.

Animation:
Lets break it down shall we:
Take the highly successful animation "Broken Saints". Consists of Tweened animation Only. It Conveys Story.

Graphics:
Anime and animation in General Is all recycled. Prime example. Naruto Used fight scenes from other animes. Reusing your grahics is not a crime and saves time.

Sound:
Thats what Audio is for - To ENHANCE a situation.

Name:
And I quote "The Key to Originality is not revealing your sources".
What does Origins mean. Where something Originates. Use sense here.

You've never animated anything - You don't understand how things work. One person doing everything takes a long time. So please - You try create something that gets front page - and when you do, message me, until then - Keep your "Superior" crtique to yourself.

Journey Credit

"Really good."

submission: Journey Credit
date: December 23, 2009

Not too happy, not too sad, a nice piece of music which evens out your mind.
Would definitely be good for the credits music in a game or animation.
It helps you reflect on the things which have happened in the game or movie.

If there's a problem, it's that it's too long.
