Game!
this should be turned into a game or something, like, you can draw the character, and chose his level, and then click on things to do to him, like throw the axe at him, and miknimize to have firefox and aim and the computer and adobe thing to come after him, that would be sick!! Great toon, if anything else make number three, but turning this into a game would be awesome.
A constructive review. You better read it! ^_^
I.Pros.
You did an amazing job with this piece, taking your first Animator vs Animation beyond mortal imagination. I first thought that the first animation was worth praise of god. Now I know that it's beyond Godly. It's something that words can't describe, but I'll do my best to put it in words. Let's hit he pros first.
A. The graphics were incredible- I can't believe that you were able to mingle the computer screen with the animation, and that you were able to bring the programs to life. I mean, you wee excellent with the camera view when you moved it from Macromedia flash to the Windows Desktop. I mean, to be able to make the animation move so smoothly is just... wow.
B. The style was unique. And flawless. I wonder if you will take it beyond flawless in AvsA III? (Please consider doing a 3rd, for the sake of your few - erhm... million fans). I was awed by the way how you brought the animations of your computer to fight with "The Chosen One" and absolutely astounded by how you made it symbolic of real life. Like, how AIM really DOES kicks ass, and how mozilla firefox looks flashy, but in reality sucks. (It DOES freeze quite a lot, but is that why you made the stick figure freeze it?). And oh come on! The way that you typed to the Programmer, it brought the humor up. It was hilarious.
C. Effort - I'd give you a 12/10 for effort. I swear, I understand how painstaking these things are. They literally take blood and sweat. (blood, because if you made a really cool scene, but doesn't fit in, you smash your first at the wall in rage until it's bloody, and sweat because of your concentration). I will murder anyone who votes it down.
II. Cons and Suggestions
Now... I'd like you to know that I already idolize you as a figure beyond God, but even a person like you has flaws. I'm trying to make you better, and not trying to flatter you, but if you don't agree with some of them, feel free to trash them. or you can PM me and dicuss them. On with the cons, then.
A. Music - you know, a lot of great animation use music soundtracks (Ie. Pop, rap, jazz... etc to spice up the suspense). I mean, you did it well with the sound effects, like when AIM used Windows Media Player and shot out music notes, it was pretty nice. Yet, I heard no background music. Music actually makes it much more Dramatic. That's what you lack. It's not dramatic enough. For example, if you ever watched Castle III Part D (or all 4 of them) and Xin (18's the best especially after Ghai comes in and kicks Dimir). If you make something light seem serious, it'll jack up the humor a lot.
B. You can take AvsA beyond Windows, like say... to real life. Ever seen Animation Invasion? Watch it on newgrounds. I mean, you can take it windows, then what's NOT possible? You can, say, accidently discover, while reading online, hierographs in ancient Egypt. You go through painstaking effort, you translate it, and then you find a warning of "DOOM". In the Depths of Flash Animation, lies a dormant power that is fearful when awakened. There is a stick figure with powers beyond mortal imagination, so powerful that it took so many elite flash makers to seal him with their "flash powers". You become curious, and then find in a secret depths of Flash 8, a small place where there is a space for "password". You type in the password to unlock it out of curiousity. The animation is released. BOOM. Thereby, you can use your imagination.
C. You can use more programs. Like say, when the stick figure attacks, Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security, and Avast attack all together. The one that's knocked out first is the worst, and the one that lasts longest is the best. You could've used the animations from solitaire or other games. If you ever played starcraft, you can bring out the units from there and attack the stick figure. It would be awesome if you did that. Or warcraft actually. And hey, I know that AIM kicks ass, but what about MSN messenger? Or yahoo messenger? Or whatnot?
Anyway, I'm almost out of words. I just want to congratulate you. Hoping for a 3rd!
Wow, you really must've worked hard on this...
Really awesome movie. You really know how to use flash. The animation was very smooth, and the fight was extremely varied. I liked how different things happened at the same time to create utter chaos, for example the part of the conversation with programmer021 when the fight was going on as well. I had to watch that three times till I really got what was happening. The ending was pretty cool too. You really don't get tired watching a movie like this. I watched some similar movies to this like Icon Wars but this beats them all. A really funny, chaotic and awesome movie. Very original concept, and it definitely beats Animation Vs Animator 1 (which rocked as well, btw =] ). Wish you'd make a three. Keep up the awesome work ^^.
10/10
