[Duck Luck Episode #4]

Has potential.

Few things to make it better. One, every time someone says a line, theres a short 2 second pause before the next line is spoken. Two, most of the characters sound the same, and are kind of nonchalant, which makes the jokes lame and boring. In actuality, they are kind of funny, but you didn't deliver it well. Im assuming you voice act all of the characters ; try getting different people for the different characters. The animation? It fit the cartoon, so thats a plus.

One sentence synonpsis, More energy! Accomplished with varied voice actors to fit the distinctly varied characters, and quicker timing.

P.S. You had the idea of having a duck in the cartoon, which can strike as odd since he bears no relationship to the other characters. Use it to your advantage, make it a lovable character. (Snoopy was the best character in Peanuts, yet he never said a word!)

Snubby responds:

In almost every Duck Luck people have told me I should get voice actors. The way I see it, me doing all the voices is almost a gimmick; kinda like how Mike Myers did all the acting in Austin Powers. I'd rather stay with this path, and try to improve, instead of choosing a different path.

And your post script, that is an excellent idea! This cartoon was more Freddy/Neighbour oriented, Duck didn't really have any good lines (cept the last one). I think that is an excellent idea an I'll definitely shoot for it next time! :D

[M.S.R.E ep.5]

WOO!

Awesome, dude! This came out superb! Excellent work, man! Tell me when you start doing part 6 man!

Dusty-Gorilla responds:

Hell yeah. Script coming to you soon.

[A Rupee Earned!]

LOL I Liked it!

It reminded of that ancient story I heard, and you utitlized the style of salad fingers well! It was funny! Only thing is you ignored some minor details, so i couldnt give you a 10.

PEACE!

Berliacpeatfingers responds:

yeah, well... We are fans of Firth and his makings... quite big fans but we weren't trying to to make it quite Salad Finger...ey... well we got a 94% on it so yeah, were happy thanks for the nine!

[macbeth... sort of]

Its nice.

but its not in sync. The lips never move at the same time as the voice clip. Look at one of the tutorials on lip synching here at NG, and also make the voices more clear, sometimes i couldnt understand waht they were saying.

kantieb0 responds:

heh i really gotta find a trick for that, the gap between mac and pc ruins all the timing (i think)

[Sunday Comics & Toons 004]

I Like it..but you know what would make it better?

Voice acting. Its a tad slow with text talking (I did like the first one though, thats my fave one) Contact me if you need help on that part :)

RSQViper responds:

Yeah voice acting would be nice, but I can certainly understand how much of a pain it is since I've used it twice.

Mainly because you get one week to do EVERYTHING in the toon or comic so when you need a VA you have to get lines to them, wait for them to get back and then generally lip-sync it. It definitely adds time to making the Flash when you are already strapped for time.

I will make the suggestion, though. Thanks for the review. =)

[The Mighty Trio 1.1]

It was ok.

Graphics were ok, flow of the movie was too slow, too cheesy, not that funny, and weird how you have your guitar playing random ditties. It was a bit boring.

Ghosty22 responds:

Random ditties?

[TANKMEN-Snakes on a Plane]

Cool

I enjoyed, it was a funny parody of that stupid movie which incorporated tankmen (tankmen is really popular now isnt it?) i didnt even know he gave that speech

Masonogy1 responds:

Thanks!

[ParoVadius RESET]

Well.....

Its a good idea, but it's rarely used. If you want to have a reset feature, have a point for it. Make it used to reset to wehn the player starts playing, and make the fastforward/rewind buttons faster (its REALLY annoying to repeatedly click it for every frame). And, along with a flash movie, there would be a sequence where it would be like classic Konami shooting games in which you can actually play, but with the feature to control time in case you mess up like in that game for Xbox (Blinx, was it? The one with the cat) Otherwise, nice movie, even though with ripped sprites, and I really didnt notice a differnece between 16-bit and 32-bit Slogaibon.....Maybe change the color?

DYNAKYRIS responds:

Thanks for your crit!

Slogra and Gaibon had their graphics updated very nicely when they made the jump from Super CastleVania IV to CastleVania: Symphony of the Night. Though some detail may have been lost, like Gaibon's skeletal stomach in SCVIV, the colors of their PlayStation versions result in a cleaner presentation. For Slogaibon 32, too.

True that, the choice of RESETting the movie may seem a little useless, but say you're in the middle of a replay and would like to resume to a later part by way of the CONTINUE option, there you go. I decided not to use a Fast Forward option, because everyone else does, and also there're quite a few eyecatches to find. Thus, I opt for a Frame Forward.

[SeaT 1: A TooF "tribute"]

Kind of funny actually

I liked this, it was funny. You should make an series of SEAT, but attacking other things like, airplane service or whatever. I'm gonna go watch Toof 6 again :D!

xtil responds:

wait don't go watch toof no whAT HAVE I DONE STOP

[TooF War - Investigation]

Parodies galore, true, but you forgot one problem.

A major one too. Whenever you make a parody of something, it only gets MORE popular. Example. People make fun of President Bush alot, right? But because hundreds of parodies are being made of him, he's being more recognized. All-American Rejects, people keep calling them emo-fags, and now more people listen to them. Making fun of something popular in a funny way only makes it more popular. So, to sum up, you actually helped LogoPresents. Talk about karma, eh?

Protocol2319 responds:

All history classes are just fellating Hitler's ego when they talk about the Holocaust. Therefore, we should not talk about WWII and millions of jews should be forgotton.

pop and logic
