[SBC declares war]

what a nice clockday movie!

i really liked that strawberry clock, pineapple clock, and orange clock were standing in the briefing room, (in a ''void''-esque kind of way), and that they were planning to start an attack versus a large enemy, in order to maintain their power+prestige, while their old enemies have died off....
then, i saw many cool and funny scenes, full of excellent jokes, such as the ''can we invade the moon?'', or the scene with:
-SBC: ''what happened to the tanks?''
*SBC is shown on top of broken tanks, while he tried to play with them*
-orange: ''you happened to the tanks, my king''.
hahaha! what an awesome scene!
and the final battle scene, where the two brave knights fought versus the giant evil army...
oh man, that was a really cool scene!

all in all, this was a great movie, nicely drawn, funny, and with many good jokes in it.
your flash skills are getting better and better, and your storytelling+humour is nice as always.

keep up the good work, and have a happy clockday! :)

[OTB - Communication]

oh man, this was a great movie! (you did a great work, as always!)

the zumwalt battleship was beautifully drawn, with high levels of detail, the internal room+machines of radiotube's room was drawn in great detail(as well), and in a very realistic way, the movie taught us a few things about satellite phones, AND, it was really funny on top of that!
i loved how radiotube was joking with the soviet sailor of the ship!
i had definitely fun recording the voices, and im always proud to be a part of the OTB mythos, even if my part isnt really important. (but i hope im helpful!)

great design, great details, incredible drawings of both ships+of their interior, (also the soviet ship was drawn in a great way as well...), good story and solid humour.
perfect work as always, man!

keep up the excellent work, you are the best!
10/10
happy clockday!

[The Walking Clocks]

wow, excellent work, once again, my friend! :)

i liked how the movie started out with orange-clock being infected by a zombie-peggey, and then visiting strawberry clock, in order to get help from him.
then, SBC, orange and turd-clock all go to visit the pharmacy store, but then, things go horribly wrong!
lol
i also liked that you've added my suggestion in the final scene: i believe that it was fitting with SBC's nature+the classic clock-jokes, while it was funny as well...

all in all, it was a great movie, with good animation, nicely drawn characters, good use of clock-face expressions, lots of zombie-action, and good humour.
keep it up!

[Jamba's Unicycle]

whoah! that was a great movie about jamba clock discovering the magical abilities of a...
UNICYCLE?!
hahaha, that was certainly a surprise, but still, a pleasant one! :D

i liked how in the scene with jamba-clock riding the unicycle through the world, that you referenced the awesome meme of ''brodyquest''.

great joke, nicely drawn characters(great drawing of jamba-clock+of redbook-clock), i also liked the ''inappropriate'' text that hovered above him, even tho you could also add the CC's old character ''NEIL'' in it, for he was the character that they used everytime something ''inappropriate'' happened...
(check out this movie, for an example: ht tp://www .newgrounds. c om/portal/vie w/54 416 (remove the gaps)

anyway, in conclusion, this was a great little movie and i liked it alot.
keep it up!

[Strawberry's IceCream]

nice movie, man!

i really liked how you've drawn the characters of strawberry-clock, apple, steak and bb10, while i also liked the whole animation's style, the design of the backgrounds, the movie's good animation speed, and the funny story!

i liked how SBC was trying to get his ice cream back from steak-clock, and when SBC dueled steak-clock, something epic happened! (nice plot twist!)
the whole movie was well-animated, with good music, with lots of humour, cool action scenes and nicely drawn characters.

my only suggestions for your movie would be:

-you could add a preloader, or a play/replay button, instead of having it loop.
loops are not very popular in here.
other than that, you did good.

also:
-you could add some subtitles, if you want: because at some parts, the voices of the clocks were a bit quiet/low.

with that being said though, this was a good movie, and i really enjoyed it.
this was a cool CC flash, so keep up the good work!

RealRedbookClock responds:

Lol, Thanks for the positive comment!

[Brendan Barnes 2nd try against Raiders]

great work in drawing+animating realistic people, with a VERY realistic movement in this flash animation, along with the already good animation speed of this film, AKA=its FPS speed...

i also like the ''flowing lines'' effect, and the vivid colours that you've used in the movie.

you always draw++animate realistic humans+human movements in a great way, so its needless to say that i admire your work alot.
you are one of the most skilled artists out there, and i love how realistic are the movements+appearance of your (movie) characters.

keep up the good work!

matilus responds:

Thanks mate for the positive feedback.

[Careless Episode 1]

wow!
this is a really nice animation, with a cute story, its a nicely orchestrated film with a good FPS speed, fluid animation, nice linework, and good character designs, despite their (seeming) simplicity.

also, i love how nicely the character's face expressions and movements are drawn, while the cockroaches+the humanoid creature that tries to help them are really nice, cute and cool characters to observe!
question: did you used mostly FBF, or tweens?
and what was your FPS speed?

all in all, this was a really nice, innocent, and cute movie, with beautiful, fluid animation, with good speed and a nice setting in general, while its design+style remained unique and charming.
great work my friend!
i see lots of potential in you, so keep practising and you will become (even) better!
keep up the great work!

Demetrios responds:

Thank you for your kind words! I really enjoyed making this animation and plan on making several to follow up with. Keep on the look out! ^_^

Even though I do not respond immediately due to work and school, I read every single one of your replies. :)

As to answer your questions: I have used FBF this entire episode with 12FPS.

Thank you again! To hear how much you enjoy viewing is great motivation for me to make more animations!

Always continue to be an amazing person! :)

[Adagio]

excellent 3-D animation of the viewer being submerged into a shallow, floating area of sea, as the waves disintegrate into small specks+molecules of water, as the viewer's camera/point of view falls down, into the red ''sea'' of nothingness...

in short:
this is an accurate portrayal of the 16th circle of hell.

good work!

[Happy 4th July]

well, happy 4th of july!

this was a really nice movie, nicely animated, with good use of visuals, good use of the photos of various characters, and a cool story in it.
it was funny, wild and i liked it alot.

my only complaints are with the lack of voices in your movie.

any voices would be good.
i suggest you to add some speakonia voices in your movie (the robotic voices), and the subtitles (the ones that already exist in the movie), the subtitles would THEN be used properly, since any good movie like yours, needs subtitles+voices in it.

plus, the gunshot sounds appeared early on in the movie, at ~1:45, while they should normally be heard at ~2:51.

just like bob-clock said, one of the ways to fix this is (relatively) easy:
just keep a silent audio file playing through the duration of your animation, that is, create a NEW layer, and paste a silent audio playing in there for the whole duration of the movie.
hopefully, this will fix your audio problems...

also, from 03:05 and onwards, the movie fades to black and stays that way up until the end of the movie.
now, if you did this for the purpose of creating a dramatic effect in your movie's ending, then its good!
but if you did this because you didnt knew what to add in the epilogue of the movie, then i have a few suggestions:

-you could add a scene of SBC and redbook-clock saying ''you cannot kill redbookclock'', and then having then say lololol many times to an angry trump.

-you could just add some credits about the movie.

-you could add a scene where redbook clock gets better and escapes from trumps evil empire.

those are just some suggestions, mind you.
anything beyond a blank screen is good tho.
just like a credits scene.

anyway, this was a good clock-movie, and i really liked it, despite redbook's sad demise.
you are a cool guy, and i see great potential in your flash movie skills...

so,
keep up the good work, and keep making cool movies!

RealRedbookClock responds:

Thx.

[Apple and Orange]

hey, nice movie!
good visuals, nice use of classic clock designs, good animation speed, a funny story, and a cool twist!
all in all, this was a great movie, and i really enjoyed it!

my only suggestion would be to use subtitles in your films, (if you want), because orange's voice was a bit low in the volume, so i couldnt hear his voice well...

other than that, great work!
keep making epic CC movies!
you rock

RealRedbookClock responds:

Thanks dude! And well the truth i don't know how to made a button to show the subtitles.
