"At a Loss for Words..."

submission: Mario Brothers - Part V

date: July 4, 2006

I have been waiting for the conclusion to this series for a very long time. The story wrapped up nicely. The idea to take the SMB story and make it so dramatic was pulled off excellently. The ending, most of all, was incredible. I'll never play Super Mario Brothers again without thinking about how this series ended up.

Score: 7

"Nice Mentos Parody"

submission: Magic Mentos

date: May 4, 2006

This was fun to watch (and I did so twice). It was a different twist on the original Mentos commercials (where the music stopped when someone got clobbered) and the ending was great! Video quality was pretty good as well, considering the small file size.

A note to those who claim this isn't Flash and therefore doesn't deserve to be on here: 1) It's *.swf, 2) Movies with clay animation are of the exact same variety, and 3) the first frame (with the Play button) is actual "animation."

Score: 7

"Catchy Song"

submission: The Ultimate Showdown

date: January 16, 2006

I found myself mouthing the words to the chorus in the middle of my second time watching it. The song's really nice. The animation to go along with it was pretty good. It captured all of the primary aspects of the video. It looked a bit cheaply done in some parts, but overall it was well done.

Score: 3

"Cute, yet Obvious"

submission: The Crystal Ball

date: June 6, 2005

There's nothing magical about this thing. It's simple. User picks a number: X. Then you add/subtract/multiply random numbers, then take away X. X + (random stuff) - X = (random stuff). Easily explained. Nice music, though.

Score: 8

"Nice mIRC Tutorial"

submission: mIRC Primer

date: June 3, 2005

This is a very informative tutorial movie for people who wish to connect to IRC by using mIRC. It explained a lot of the technical aspects (including some stuff even I did not know) as well as basic mIRC interface. I would have probably made the music quality a bit higher, but that's really a minor issue. Good work.

Score: 6

"Decent Music Video"

submission: Cigaro

date: May 28, 2005

This was fun to watch: Two sprites jamming to System of a Down. The music itself was of decent quality given the filesize. The animation was pretty fluent (including the lip-synching). The music video itself was okay, but could have used more than one scene. Overall, though, it was a really good Flash movie (especially for your first time). Keep up the good work.

Score: 4

"Decent Sprite Music Video"

submission: Mario's Safety Dance

date: May 14, 2005

I liked the song you chose. The idea behind this was okay. The animation got a bit choppy at times, but for the most part was really decent. Overall, though, it just kind of stretched out for me. It was okay to watch though.

Score: 8

"Incredible"

submission: Power Star

date: May 14, 2005

That was some nifty sprite editing that you pulled off there. You had a lot of custom sprites in there as well. The story was inventive, although I personally would have liked to know why Mario was fighting those Boos in the beginning. The overall music and sound effects were applied really well, and the beginning logo and menu were nicely done.

I can't wait for the next movie in this series. Keep up the great work!

Score: 8

"Amazing"

submission: SSB:Brawl

date: March 31, 2005

This was pretty straightforward, but was still fun to watch. You had a lot of good artwork and animation in there, althugh it was just in a blank scene. The character detail was really good, though. The sound effects were excellent.

As for your suggestion, I would like to see Giga Bowser in the next movie. I can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work.

Score: 8

"Funny Stuff"

submission: The Real Legend 2

date: March 30, 2005

This is an astounding parody of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I loved it. The drawings were well-done. The animations have improved since the last movie, although some of the movie seemed a bit choppy. The voice acting has also improved, but there were moments where I couldn't hear what was being said. The captions helped. The storyline was hilarious. My favorite part was when the Jeopardy! theme was playing. I recommend this movie to any OoT fan out there. Excellent work.
