Reviews for The Big Fat Tutorial

[Kayol]

I learned something new today!

I found it amazing how beautiful a background could be with a few vectored images tweened together. Graphic appeal and a fraction of the file size.

Graphics: 8

Although the camera panning was about the only thing new to me, I ACTUALLY understood it, ever thought of being a teacher? I thought I'd get bored but I was intertained throughout.

Style: 8

Sound was great although annoying after awhile but you saved yourself by having a nice selection to cycle.

Sound: 7

Except for the plane crash I don't think there was any violence

Violence: 4

Thanks for the actionscript

Interactivity: 10

Love those fairies!

Humor: 6

Helbereth responds:

Yeah the whole fraction of the file size thing ought to be helpful. I', surprised more people don't do so for their movies seeing as how it's so versatile, and yet so simple.

Yes for about a month I entertained the idea of being a teacher. It's something I might pursue later in life, but I'll have to get over my innate distaste for adolescent attitudes before that happens.

Yeah I wanted the music kept to a video game remix theme, so I figured having a fair number of them would save me from getting too many bad sound reviews. Besides, I had already made a number of the loops a while back (the Shadowrun and great faerie themes are the only loops I constructed specifically for this tutorial).

The plane crash was just fun to make. It's a sight gag meant to draw a laugh in the middle of boring exposition. If you look close at the burning wreck, the scene is a bit more gory than you might believe when you first look (it's possible to pause it during the credits to zoom in).

I barely grasp the basic concepts of action script. It'll be slow going for me in that department mostly because I have this tendency toward disorder - a bad trait to have when doing any programming.

Yeah the Faerie Mafia were another sight gag that I added to keep people's attention span in check. Originally I was going to have camera shakes, but after trying it a few times with no real success I just made the text bounce around. BTW the fact that I used red green and blue for the faerie colors is not just because they're the primary colors of light. I may be putting Link to work at some point...

Anyway, thanks for the itemized review!
