Reviews for "the YuYu"
visually, it just gets better and better...
but i did have one big problem this time, and unfortunately that was the music. while i don't have a problem with the quality or the actual song itself, i don't think it fits the movie. i know it's made specifically for it, and by someone who's work you admire and that's awesome...but it's not the same atmosphere i felt from the visuals. it has the right tempo, but the movie is bitey fleeing for his life in the middle of the night, not a mid-day run through the forest. i think that it sounded too fun and starts off too strong is the problem. the end credit music, while not as high quality or exactly what it should be either, was closer to what i would imagine if i were watching the movie without any sounds at all. if nothing else i think that the visuals and music might feel less seperated if you made it quieter and in the background underneath actual sound effects.
as for the visuals, just one small detail (and just a personal preference) but sometimes i felt like bitey was stretched too extremely when he leapt upward, making him lose his shape (even in his skull). apart from those things, however, your animating improves exponentially. the steam coming off of bitey at the end? awesome. little stuff like that shows just how much effort and thought you put into every movie you make, and it's appreciated

Heya, thanks for the review.
Personally I think the music portrays several things.. let me clarify something first though: we may be seeing Bitey fleeing for his life, but he doesn't see it that way. He's playing and saying 'catch me if you can', (which is why he starts laughing halfway - and inhales a bug).
Then he eventually becomes irritated puts on the real speed. He could have done that from the very beginning, but it's not often that Bitey NEEDS to use the full power of his speed, so when he does he REALLY enjoys it.
The music was created first, and I animated everything to fit the mood of the music and the images that were playing over and over in my head.
The part where Bitey becomes annoyed and does his supersonic dash, the whistle stops and the music takes a slightly darker turn. So when the whistle comes back in, we're back in playful mode and soon after, Bitey decides enough is enough.
Anyway, that's how I interpreted the music. Thanks for noticing the little things (steam) and thanks for taking the time to review :D
I LOVE BITEY OF BRACKENWOOD
nuff said. watch it. superb stuff
woa
that was awsome hes like a little flea. i wish i could run around like that
the best flash work i have ever seen
this is simply the best flash, movie or game, i have ever seen, even topping the original littlefoot. i must say, however, why aren't you working in television, perhaps cartoon network? you are an extremely dedicated/skilled artist.
