"Different, interesting feel"

submission: 7: Genesis
date: June 7, 2007

I quite liked this one - enough to review it. The music complemented the animation well, giving it an unusual but appropriate feel. It felt kind of casual and epic at the same time. And of course the subject matter was thought provoking.

I really liked the underwater scene. It felt very underwatery - reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus a bit. I wish there were a scene select for the animation, so I could study that scene more easily. You might think about doing a whole animation set underwater like that.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the review, and... you're in luck!

I am indeed planning an entire Flash set completely (or almost completely) underwater :)

Again, thanks for the review and have a great day.

Madness Elimination 3

"A big improvement"

date: September 13, 2006

Wow, this one is way better than the last one, Madness Elimination 2. I have high hopes for the fourth. :)

It stands on its own as a decent animation, but it is still no Madness Combat.

In terms of graphics, it is not bad technically, but it seems unpolished. Madness Combat was very stylistically consistent and minimal, making sure pretty much every detail fit in. This animation did not show quite the same level of perfectionism. That may not be the author's goal, so I am not too concerned about it. But it is still something to consider.

I liked the synchronization of the intro with the music. Also, the various camera effects seemed pretty sophisticated.

The choreography was much better in this animation than in earlier ones, much more flowing, but it still didn't seem to flow as well as Madness Combat. I wasn't kidding about watching Aikido videos online! :D Go out and watch some now!

I think capturing the flow of the fight scenes is the most important part in making animations worthy of the Madness name. All the rest is up to your own style and preference as an animator.

My goal wasn't to be as good as Krinkels. This little series of mines is a learning experience for me. After I'm through with it, you can look forward to original work coming from me.
