This has potential!

Hey great work on this piece! I really like your drawing style, and your backgrounds look great!

Something that I felt held this flash back a bit, apart from the voice acting and dialogue mentioned below me, was the frame rate. Since it looks like you mostly use tweens, a small increase in frame rate would not be too much extra work, and it would smoothen up your movie a notch. Maybe something for future episodes? :)

Keep up the good work!

vezanmatics responds:

strange.. i actually do not use tweens! never have. ;) maybe that's the problem

Fantastic!

I love how you portrayed Glenn as a true creative mind. You even showed the dominance of his right half of the brain by consistently making him left-handed throughout the film :D Great job!

Bobert-Rob responds:

Yeah, that's one of the traits he borrowed from me. Well, that and the decoy stuff. Though he only got that from my animated self, but still. Glad you liked it!

Tough one..

Well, first of all I'd like to say that your drawing style lokks pretty nice from times to times, byt the quality of animation varies too much. Sometimes it looks really nice, while it's really hard to follow sometimes.

Also, it feels pretty weird to hear the conversations in swedish.. Even though I'm swedish, I'd prefer english speech, but thats just me..

Olzone responds:

well HI Emilio35.
to make a 5minutes long animation finished for a deadline. within 2 weeks
you have to have motivation,time,equipment and more time
time was the least i had.
so some stuff has to get lower to save time.
for a guy studying civil engineering in computer science i thought you would figure that out, maybe you skipped some lessons?

also it feels pretty wierd hearing a swedish dont like to hear swedish in a swedish event video.
well that just me.

oh fun fact: got the voices just last weeks friday. and got the youtube version up on saturday last week . that alone tells the short time i had.
sry i was harsh or something,
i havent slept for 5 days straight and I got a 7.
im greatful tho. you took the time to see it.

Haha thanks man

Haha I love your submissions dude! It's just fantastic the way you put motion to those fancy characters of yours :D Also, the music style you tend to choose goes very well with your animations! Keep 'em comin', and thanks again! Cheers

TheBoogley responds:

no, thank you for watching them. Thank YOU!! :D
THANK YOOUUUUUUUU!!!! 8O

Yeah this was great!

Except for those from mother 2&3 I recognized Ayla from chrono trigger and I think I saw those guys from Wild Arms too :D

Well..

First of all, I must say your animation style is very smooth, and it looks really good. SOund wass totally okay, and I enjoyed your choise of music. So I have to give this flash a pretty high score.

However, in my eyes, it dropped a few points for lacking a good storyline. The message in this flash is very discussable.

In my eyes I get the feeling this flash says that the US is the biggest, baddest and greatest country in the world, which has all means to suppress and fight anyone who stand against them. However, in the end, the US mocks itself, sitting on that big throne with all the money, as king of the world.

The US is the most powerful nation of the world - yes. But with great power comes great responsibility, and as shown in this flash is not the way to do it. Thank you for listening :)

Game-parodies and boobs!!

Well, this animation was not funny at all. Maybe because it's yet another game parody. I only liked the first part of Brawl Funnies 1. Though, I really liked your comments, and I only have one word to say about it: Word. I'm glad someone is taking an action on the contents of animations on the web! I also would like to point out that the brackenwood series, for example, is very original and still tops the highscores on NG. I would really like to see more content like that! (2, 3/10 because your animation sucked, sorry)

A few months ago ashford pride made a movie with a foreboding title. It was called "Awesome Grounds".

Well ladies and gentlemen, that's might as well what this site should be called (at least right now), with the top row on the front page slot dedicated to an "awesome" movie and an "awesome" parody, an "awesome" t-shirt in the newgrounds store, and pretty much every "awesome" movie in the top 100, along with han's "awesome's creed".

I can't go to newgrounds with seeing something not about egoraptor or his coveted video game parody series. It makes me wonder sometimes if pursuing anything but half-assed cartoons making mildly funny observations about video games laced with profanity is even worth it. Truly, they are what bring the masses of 13-year olds to this site, and thus increases traffic and competition in the internet world. But you have to ask yourself, with this sort of two-bit audience increasing in numbers, are they really interested in watching anything else?

I understand that it's a dog eat dog world in the online entertainment business, and to compete you have to pretty much put up content that a majority of internet browsers would click on. This includes either women or video games. Things they already know they want. And that's all they want. They sign up, watch more, and come back and do it again later. They're trained to know that what they want is easily accessible and is promoted all over the site.

Original content is often shuffled off to the bottom of the page, or never gets any attention to begin with. Now comes into play the whole 'they won't click on it unless there's a boob for the icon', etc etc. That's because they've been fashioned to think that way.

I'm not saying i have all the mysterious answers to the way people's minds work. But this much is true - if all people click on are breasts and video game icons, and you give them breasts and video game icons, you're not pushing the envelope.

Newgrounds is the epitome of user-generated content. We already have a massive advantage over youtube in the fact that making a cartoon involves so much more creativity than snappily editing your webcam footage. So instead of 200 cartoons coming out every minute, we have 200 cartoons coming out every day. That gives someone a better chance of breaking out and being discovered for his hard work, and a reward for a job well done.

But in the same way that viewers are trained that they don't have to go out of their way to avoid original content they would otherwise enjoy, authors are becoming more and more disenchanted with their personal creations and are turning to nerd culture icons and cheap tactics to get viewers.

I can't tell you how many animators I have spoken to that have shunned their own creations in favor of sub-pop culture parody and disjointed scripts sprinkled with toilet humor and profanity. a cartoon catering to everyone who's forgotten what cartoons are all about. And here we are shoving away everything about cartoons that was originally appealing and magical, because we're pretty much forced to.

I'm not pointing the finger at any one person here. I think it's part of the bigger picture - bigger than Newgrounds, too. But if people really care about the future of cartoons and animation, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of blatant favoritism.

People will find what they want if they want it. They don't need to be spoon fed it all.

For thirty years animators who strive to create something genuinely unique have gotten nothing but a slap in the face. It's sickening and it has to stop someday, before they all disappear.

Lastly, this post is not about me. I'm not writing this out of self-pity, bitterness or spite. I'm being honest. I care a lot about the future of animation, and what I see around me is very troubling. The industry is bad enough, but where the future lies is in the small corners of the animation world. Newgrounds is one of them. I spend a lot of time trying to encourage and teach frame-by-frame animation, and creating your own characters and scripts. That is what is important

Great animation

I really like that Snatch soundtrack you used! It really fits in an action scene!! *voting dark side, as always*

Very nice animated

I can truly see that you put a lot of effort in this flash! However, I would like to point out that I felt that the action scenes were a little bit short paced, or whatever I sould call it. Watch a music viedo or something and see that each angle of the camera only lasts for about 2-3 secs, then it changes again. But stilll, I like your animation, just keep it a little faster! *voting dark side as always*

Sweet

The smiting is soo sexy! Great song 2 =)

I can't settle down with one way of expressing myself. I make music, movies, art and story writing. For the most part, I'm a C++ OpenGL game programmer.
