Bad.

Fairly awful.

Thank you for this Public Service Announcement.

It is a very accurate depiction of one of the nightly terrors one should be aware of while roaming the streets.

Good film.

A+ material.

Well, this was pretty dumb.

While not entirely rubbish, the different segments weren't paced together very well, and it was kind of icky to watch. I did like what I assume is Lenko's part, but the rest were kind of not so good. While it is not entirely hopeless, it is still a very uninspired submission, and a bit too messy. You could do better than this, probably, if you spent more time on the overall presentation. Please feel free to try again at a later stage when your skills have developed further. Thank you, good bye.

OK THEN

ALSO COOL MASS DOWNVOTING BUDDY

So I watched this the entire way through...

...and it is so mind-numbingly bad I would much rather endure 8 hours of German shockporn.

Where to begin? The opening scene with the rehab center is just downright terrible. It's like you didn't even TRY to make it look good. There's just a badly drawn, flat-looking box with a gradient background. There's nothing else. No other houses, no trees, clouds, no detail whatsoever. This is a recurring thing throughout the entire feature; the backgrounds, which are essentially still images, all suffer from looking excessively bad, skewed and boring. I don't know any other way to put it. They're horrible. You even managed to stick in a couple random bitmap images, like some kind of attempt at cementing your position as a lazy artist. It would not have broken your back or made you feel bad by just putting a little more feeling into it, trying to puff it up a bit and make it more pleasant to look at.

On to the actual characters themselves, they suffer from many problems similar to the backgrounds. Taking the first guy, for instance, you took the time to animate a few frames... But as it turns out, you used the same sideways mouth animation for the one frame where he is actually looking straight at the viewer. This is just pure, inexcusable sloppiness. Also, from what I bothered to look at, both him and Santa look nothing like the sideviews in their little one-frame frontals. I mean sure, you don't need to make single frames as detailed as everything else, but Jesus, at least make it proportional. I didn't bother really studing the other characters as in-depth because this was just depressingly bad, really. Another problem is that you seemed to shade all their heads, but not their bodies, so in addition to the awful animation and sloppy handiwork the pieces don't even look like they fit together. I could comment on how the lipsync is boring too because you just reused the same little things over and over and over... but whatever. It's just not GOOD.

The only thing left to comment on would be the song itself, which is equally painful. It is long, boring, and doesn't seem to go anywhere aside from dishing out a few lame puns. I'm not a musician, so I cannot really comment much further on it, but it was not a very inspiring thing to listen to, really.

In conclusion, this is just plain bad, and suffers from a bad case of sloppy craftsmanship. You could have done infinitely much more with this. You could have put more heart and soul into the backgrounds. You could have made the characters far more lively and less cheap. You could have done something to break up the mind-numbingly boring session with something like flashbacks, or more interesting views of the characters, anything at all really.

You did not do any of these things.

2/10 for a basic understanding of how Flash works, and that is pure generosity. I find no redeeming features in this movie.

psychicpebbles responds:

If you're so concerned with these things, why don't you do any of them in your own movies?

Extraordinarily ordinary? No, not at all.

This was a flawed creation, through and through, due to both a lack of creative ingenuity and crude handiwork. Aside from your use of masks, your entire submission seemed to lack any form of knowledge regarding the slightly more advanced utilization of the Flash toolset, and both drawings as well as your actual animation was incredibly sub-par... Considering how you more or less used the exact same movie clip looping over and over throughout the entire feature, this was highly annoying, and combined with a mostly bland or even bad choice in color usage your entire production was nothing short of visually unappealing. Yet, the most intrepid thing you did was base your entire submission around two old, obsolete, and obnoxious fads, cementing this feature's position in the lower end of the wall.

I must disappoint you with the APPROPRIATE rating of one star out of a possible ten, given for the above reasoning.

Im using Flash MX 2004. A lot of the effects you're looking for either haven't been introduced yet or haven't been introduced in a watered-down lazy man's kind of way yet. Notes on using the same movie clip the entire duration of the toon? Easy. Have you ever seen the original Caramelldansen video? that's what it is: The same loop for over 90% of the video, the difference being is that their clip is 3D. The colors used in that video are much much much more obnoxious than in this one.

The sub par artwork? I agree. I was in no way trying to create some kind of sophist-a-ma-cated art. This video was created for comedy, not to show off. I chose to tablet-draw because I figured that it would give overly serious people the hint that this is not to be taken seriously.

I suggest you know what you're talking about before you throw random insults.

With no remorse, I have been blinded by the darkness.
