[PTFA Guy Hates ClockDay 2]

hmmm...

i find your movie to be a huge contradiction.

you hate the clock crew, yet you create 1 movie about them every clockday.
you claim that the clocks are making crappy movies, yet you cannot draw clocks+the various clock drawings, and you use other people's drawings, in order to add some quality into your movie.

plus, you havent created a clever parody that is making fun of the clock crew; instead, you've created a lousy, petty and violent movie about how much you hate the clock crew, and how you wish that the CC would be dead.

is this creative? no. is it funny? no. have you created a clever anti-clock movie, that inspires thinking? no.
instead, you are just whining about the clocks making crappy movies, while the only thing that you create is... crappy movies.

by your own standards, i should ''hate'' you, because you make crappy animations.
therefore, in a way, you are exactly like the thing that you hate; you are exactly the same with the clock crew: you both create ''crappy'' movies, and you spam the portal with your stuff.

BUT! in reality, the clock crew actually makes good movies, and quality colaborations, and thats why it has remained alive for so many years. thats why the clockcrew still gets frontpaged movies & collabs in all those years. its because the clock crew has many good animators, and many good artists in it, people that are very skilled in creating elaborate and artistic movies.

(ofcourse, there are also a few crappy spammers in the CC, but they are a small minority, and most CC spammers are not official members of the clock crew, they just claim to be part of the CC, in order to get more internet-fame, just like you do with your ''anti-clock'' movies.)

your main character, the PTFA-guy seems nicely drawn, and perhaps he could've been a part of a good movie, if it wasn't for your violent hatred about the CC. shooting clocks? crude gay jokes?
whats this? ki1o's 11-year old fanbase again? oh boy!

my advice:
grow up, and move on.
you can still hate the clocks for your own bizzare reasons, but at least you've got to do it in a classy way, with some humour, elegance, and with a GOOD, QUALITY animation.

you can't be talking about quality when you create a hateful, bad movie...

thats all. improve yourself, otherwise your argument is completely invalid.

PS: the clockcrew made this movie ''popular''. perhaps you should thank them for your extra pageviews, instead of being an ungrateful jerk.

PS2: learn to support the good CC movies for their good features, and to dislike the bad CC movies for their bad elements. in short, be a fair voter, and judge with a fair hand. (according to each movie's quality)
its the best thing to do.

[Rayman Whorigins]

hehehe... good one!

this was a nicely drawn, beautifully animated parody of ''rayman origins'', and i liked both the clever humour, and the nicely drawn design of both rayman, and of the pretty nymph-girls!

the last scene where everyone froze and looked awkwardly at eachother was truly priceless.
overall, this was a clever, funny and nicely drawn animation, good job!
keep it up, and do more!

[Punch a Mexican]

a great music video, for a cool, catchy song!

indeed my good sir, those years of making strange/awesome flash movies have payed off, and we are watching a very nicely animated, funny and creative movie, that has both great visuals, fluid, flawless animation, good face expressions, nice linework, crazy d*ck jokes, solid humour, and it truly supports the band's catchy song!

also, it serves as a very good satire about donald's crazy views.

i really like how the lonely redneck in the trailer starts to fall in love with donald, and with his *ahem* big ''skills'', while he also starts getting angry against a person that never harmed him.
eventually, he gets punished for being a jerk, and he gets a taste of his own medicine...
good message!

also, i liked that the actual band was shown in the prison scene, that was a clever detail!

great animation, good humour, clever satire... all good qualities, and they are proof of your amazing skills, sir renegade!

nice movie, keep up the good work man!

RenegadeClock responds:

Thanks BB10. An epic review, as always. Keep up the good work. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Neet Anime Opening!]

a very impressive intro, filled with action and humour... starring a naive young man as the hero, and many sexy anime girls as his very own colleagues, and they love teasing him with their beauty+with their playful behavior!

easily best anime parody of 2487.

good work. keep it up, and do more!

ZabuJard responds:

haha thanks chris sama!

[Inspiration vs. Destruction]

good movie, nice animation, flawless pace, and some cool details in the stickmen's face expressions! (adding the emoticons for the stickmen's face expressions was a very clever idea, sir!)

i really liked that the ''creative, inspirational'' stick was creating art, and making good stuff, while the ''bad, negative'' stick was trying to stop him from creating art.

it was a nicely animated battle between creativity and destruction.
im happy that creativity won! :)

as for your meaning, i agree 100% with you.
noone should make you stop creating art. ignore the haters, be a good person, and be creative/create art.
its a good meaning, and very very true.

now, the only bad thing in your movie, was the lack of a preloader, and the fact that it looped.
also, it was short, but i guess that's not so bad...(especially if this movie was meant to be that short)

i would suggest you to add a preloader/a play-replay button, and to avoid making looping animations, because people often mistake loops for spam, and even if thats unfair, it happens.
plus, if you add a play/replay button (or a preloader), your movie will look alot more organised, and alot more professional.

you can find many free preloaders in here, and there are easy to use/to add in your movies...

also, i would like your next movie to be a bit longer, with more scenes, and with more jokes, if thats possible.

all in all, your movie was good, and i liked it alot. you make neat stuff.
keep up the good work!

BF-Brix responds:

Wow, thanks :) Besides a couple positive responses from my buds, I haven't really gotten constructive criticism as nice as this before on my Flash animations. If you could let me know how to add a preloader, I'd be more than happy to do it. And yea, I forgot to add a stop-loop action in the scripts of the animation :P I know how to do it, I just didn't remember, which I will next time.

[HELLEVATOR]

a very beautiful, visually impressive and funny movie!

i really liked how lou (the guy with glasses?) looked so calm & puzzled by all this situation, even if everything was quite alarming...

also, the gallaxy-head girl looked awesome, was your drawing of her inspired by the album cover of eloy, ''ocean''? (just google ''eloy ocean'', and you will see the epic drawing of poseidon, having a gallaxy instead of a head! its amazing, and thats what your gallaxy-head girl reminded me of! :D cool)

also the alien chatty girl was cute & fast, and the flying robotic head that was ''the eater of worlds'', was quite funny, with a ncie design+some cool lines...
did he spitted jupiter, BTW? lol!

this was a wild+funny movie, about lost causes, strange creatures and life in the ''unwanted'' side of the heavenly dimensions...

good movie, clever ending, and it had a nice design/good animation/detailed characters,
so it was very professional and artistic.

great work, keep it up, and do more!

UniversalHeat responds:

Thanks! This movie was a big experiment for me (in terms of both the animation style and the fact that I've never made a comedy until now) so I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'd never heard of Eloy before now, but I'll be sure to check it out!

[continuation of my last flash animation]

pretty cool, its a nicely drawn and fast-paced stick-animation, it reminds me of the old classics, such as the ''fight for life'' of david lancaster, or some of 'rob den bleyker's early works... also it had a cool SFDT/stickpage vibe in it, which is always good.

nice movie, colourful characters, swift animation, and cool fighting scenes.
good work!

make more stuff like this, and make more scenes/add more stuff in your next movies!
good movie, i liked it.

[Undertale Animation (Pacifist)]

this was a very nice animation/tribute to ''undertale''(and to pokemon as well!), and i liked it alot! :)
first of all, all the characters were drawn nicely, and in an accurate way, from their ''chibi'' forms, to their more normal-sized form...

secondly, i really liked how you've drawn sans/frisk/brock, it was very detailed+accurate/close to the real thing, and everything was smoothly animated, nicely designed, and funnny as well!

also, i loved the ''ketchup'' reference with sans, and the farting jokes in the end.
very cool movie, and quite funny too!

its a good movie: you make nice, fluid animations, so keep up the good work!!! 10/10

[creatures of the deep]

wow, this was an incredibly awesome+detailed movie, especially for someone's first (official) animation on NG! :O

well, first of all, i liked the duel between the heroic lobster and the evil green creature...
i also liked the fact that the ''green king'' was blackmailing lobsterman, because he kidnapped his little sister, and now the heroic lobster had to save her from the ''green king''!

so, as the story begins, we see mr lobster fighting with many foes: we see him avoiding the flaming ball, (or is it a flaming sun? how did he burned things underwater? and if its not a mini-sun, then what was this small, round ball of fire that was chasing the lobster?), we also see the lobster avoiding spikes, running away from destroyed bridges (underwater?!), grabbing a sword and killing monsters, all, in a quest to save his little sister, from the GREEN KING.... (omg lol)

i have to say, i liked how you designed/i liked how you've animated the whole progress of the lobster's trip, and it reminded me vaguely of some super-mario levels.

with that being said, despite the fact that it vaguely reminded me of super-mario in some parts,
i believe that you have designed the movie in your own style, and the actions/attacks of the lobster were unique, so it was quite original, nicely designed, and funny as well.

as for the ending, i liked the lobster's conversation VS the ''green king'' /VS his guards.
also, the lobster said the N word, oh boy! :/ (thats bad, but hey, at least the movie was nicely animated, with good drawings, and with good humour (until the N word showed up) so, yea!)

all in all, this was a GOOD and nicely designed/nicely animated movie, and i liked it...
so do more movies like this, and keep up the good work!

Avomayers responds:

lol thanks mn. this is my very first movie, it could have been better but i didnt have the nessasary tools to make it what it intended. but I always going to make more movies. so this will not be the last.. hopefully..

[Blow you own trombone song]

hahahaha!
this was so great!

both the song and the animation were funny, and nicely executed, while your movie synced nicely with the catchy song!
i liked how each character's ''instrument action'' was in the darkness, and eventually it was revealed to be an ''innocent'' act!

very good animation, perfect face expressions, nice music, and excellent humour.
please do more stuff like this, keep up the great work!

PS: nice singing, it was very cool! good movie!
