Bezman responds:
I was quite amazed to find that you prefered the orginal in terms of style and thought it more violent and interactive. I was going to e-mail you asking about this, but you don't display your e-mail to the public.
If you could e-mail me, I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that someone appreciates the colour purple. Like I say above, I'm amazed how much you liked the style. And yeah, it is all a bit pointless.
Ah well.
SUCKED
what the heck you stupid douche, "ohh yea, lets make a video with no sound about a mushroom, ohh yeah, i'm not a douche, i'm cool, i have friends!" i mean jesus, what WAS that, it was a waste of my life, i want it back. god....not worthy of this site...at all....
Bezman responds:
Yeah. It's a bloody rubbish animation.
But I reckon your review's a bit nasty and that's not really needed. I mean, this was a learning project for me and I even warned you about its quality.
Lighten up! :)
This is so bad it's crossed over into good...
and back into bad.
Bezman responds:
I think I know what you mean.
But I might not.
Everyone has to start somewhere, nez pa?
But the fact that this movie has a score above 3 absolutely surprises me. Still, here's my objective review:
1. The movie sucks ass.
Heh, just kidding. Honastly, your first attempt at animation shows basic knowledge of the basic properties of Flash. You used tweens, mild frame-by-frame movement, and basic button use among other things. On a side note, the fact that were you were capable of doing this after 7 hours puts my efforts to shame. It took me nearly a day and a half to learn how to tween alone.
So why is it that I don't like this moive? Well:
1. You finished it in 7 hours.
2. The style was inconsistent and overall poor. By inconsistent, I'm referring to the color of the buttons. Nearly everything in the movie was a solid off-value of purple and moved through tweening. The blue linear buttons that were animated in a fbf manner through me off. Perhaps a large purple button that says play. At least then I would know for sure where the button even is and what it does. By poor, I'm referring to the graphical quality of the animation. If it was intentional, I would respect this style as a whole; however, the supporting attributes of the animation gave this .swf the appearance that the poor characters were drawn poorly due to lack of skill.
The overall interactivity was hindered due to poor button design. I honastly didn't even see the buttons until my mouse inadvertantly hovered over them. The poor execution of the flash as a whole failed to adequetly deliver the puchline in your joke.
I do love the fact that this flash lets me see how much you've improved. <3
Much love, Bez
Bezman responds:
This is probably the best review I have ever gotten.
I actually think a purple button with 'play' written on it would be a mistake. I'd like it to remain more abstract. I do concede though that I should have made it more obvious and clickable. At the time, I didn't know how hit-boxes worked.
