Reviews for 10 Things To Do With...

A Good Start

I agree with TSRevolutionary...while the graphics were great and everything was properly animated the script does need improvement. I know you've heard from other reviews but the strong point of your script was the beginning. It just started to die off after about number 4. Except for the lamp idea of course. I think the problem was with pacing. While the slow speech was suppose to stay true with the accent and look of the character, I always had the feeling that things needed to be faster. And I'm not talking about random crazy fast humor most flash animators use that makes no sense at all. Just increase the speed a little so there isn't such a gap between each joke. Also I think you need to change location more. You did at the beginning but besides that everything was in the lab. It makes the flash seem static. Well good job man I can't wait for your next animation.

Graphics were good, voice acting and sound quality could use some work but were ok... but this just fails for not being funny at all.

"Because It Doesn't Require Any Batteries!"

Well, I have to say, that was fairly entertaining. First and foremost, I have to give you kudos for actually coming up with 10 things to do with a dismembered arm. Before I watched the movie, I tried to see if I could come up with 10 myself. And, alas, my creativity failed me.

The movie itself is well done; the music (well, what music there is) was nice and fit in well, and the animation was superb. I like the way you animated Barry; he has alot of interesting facial expressions, and tons of just quirky movements. I can tell alot of detail was put into it.

The voice-acting was hit or miss. I'd tone down Barry's voice next time. Sometimes, his accent is absolutely hilarious. For instance, the way he said the batteries line (quoted above) just made me crack up. However, more often than not, I found the voice overly-annoying, and it grated on my nerves, almost to the point of distracting me from the flash. I think if you just lowered the pitch a little, or made it a little less strong, I'd be fine. Just my opinion though.

I also thought that the distribution of the jokes took away from the flash. See, you really get the funniest uses out of the way at the beginning of the flash, so that when you get to the final six (with the exception of the lamp), I'm just not laughing. I think its generally a good idea to save the funniest joke for last, or at least have them equally distributed throughout the flash. I don't know; I just felt all the funny jokes were in the first couple suggestions, and then it just falls flat from there.

Still, a great submission. I enjoyed it :)

Wow

Although it lacked in originaltiy, I give you an 8. The animation was as close to perfect as humanly possible, and the sound was remarkable.
And that lamp Idea was GENIUS!

Anyway...I'm gonna go down to the graveyard for a little while. There was a funeral yesterday...fresh graves....

I mean, I'm going to walmart to buy some Coke! Yeah....
