Augh.
I couldn't take the utter lack of any sound other than the occasional, sudden voice acting. It got a lot better during the narration, but seriously. The sound of the cards, or even a little background music would have been wonderful.
Nice job otherwise, though.
Good but not too good.
Well the animation could use some work and you should try not relying on Flash MX to do so much of the work and draw some more to improve the animation work. But this does just seem too sad to be real, to me, how can so much bad stuff happen to one person. When the shit hits the fan, it fucking hits the fan... keep up the good work though.
Lacks sound
I dont care about the voice acting or the graphics because I think its decent, also the story is ok. Its really good that you made a movie for your brother. I would just like to say it needs more sounds, alot more sounds, it only has voices and music would do great with it.
improvement over part 1
The card playing scene ... cut it. It's dull. The flash is kind of short, but this doesn't help any, it just feels like padding.
Your characters don't seem to move from the waist up when they walk. This is a little jarring when you're only SHOWING them from the waist up, because it looks like they're just sliding around. Try bobbing them up and down (VERY slightly) as they move so that we get the sense that they're actually walking. Oh... and DON'T bob them all up and down at the same time unless they're marching.
Voice work is a little stiff and has a bit of that "I Will Now Read The Line That Has Been Written For Me, On This Paper Right Here, Yes" sound in the crowd scene and when the woman opens the door.
Part 3 was a little too long, and parts 1 and 2 are a little too short. Having watched all of them, I think it might have worked better in terms of pacing to include the beginning of 3 with this one, so as to finish up all of the 'newspaper' part together.
The guy in the magazine stand scene with the dark blue hair has a freakish forehead.
Good job
Again I can really see that you put alot of time into these...im sure it have been adressed before (to lazy to go through other reviews) but that begining song is a bit..well I dunno it just dont fit....You should head over to the audio portal and check out the stuff they have in the classical section and I bet youll find something you like(that is if you hadent already....anyhow Keep up the good work
and on to numero tres
