What..... did I just see?
The animation was alright I suppose, could be a lot better but I gather that you're somewhat new to Flash as a program. Judging solely on content though, it was anticlimactic, not very compelling and I found myself just being confused more than anything. I watched it twice, and I still am not entirely sure what exactly Kirby cut on the other... thing, and I certainly am not sure why. Sorry, it just was not very good.
Dude! This video almost crashed my browser! From what I heard of it the audio was kinda funny and I would have loved to see what imagery actually went with it, but the thing won't even play. Literally un-watchable, which is unfortunate. :(
I agree, I giggled at the part with the joke about the villiage burning down. But that was the only really good part and it wasn't even original. (Has seriously no one here heard the "I didn't try to ___, I DID ___" bit before?) It wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but it certainly wasn't the best. I feel like the only reason people are liking this so much is because it's Final Fantasy 7 and you're pretty much instantly a loser if you don't like anything FF7 related.
But that one fact doesn't make this a good video. It just lacked a lot of impact and the jokes were not that good and it seemed like it was trying too hard. I'm sorry, the best I can give is a half star.
Haha this might sound mean, but I mean well by it: I didn't quite expect to like this as much as I did. I actually did laugh out loud a few times and that pretty much NEVER happens even when I really like a video. Good job buddy. :) Like another guy said, some of the jokes could use some work but it's a cute concept and the ones that did work were excellent. (I loved the one about the ghost and, for some reason, the one with the girl pushing buttons in the elevator.)
Love the voice acting, animation is great and very easy on the eyes for how simple it is and for the most part I love LOVED the punny humor. Keep up the good work!
Totally excellent as usual. :) But it was such a rollercoaster of emotion! I was all, "Aw, how cute!" and happy and then she got rejected and her crying was so sad it made me wanna cry! And then it was cute and happy again and then the GUY got rejected! What a twist!
LOVE the expressiveness of the characters and environments, love the themes, music, colors, etc. As always, AWESOME!
A long review
Ok, I don't want to seem like I'm ripping into you but you could have a rather good video if it improved drastically in a few areas, so this will probably be a bit of a lengthy review. (A tl;dr response is perfectly understood.)
First, sound was good, great quality, pretty consistent volume and matched up well with the animation. The animation quality was decent, smooth motion when it was there and matched up with the sound well.
I will say however, that there were a few big problems with this.
There were various elements that I felt were meant to elicit a sort of knee-jerk positive response from me, such as the inclusion of Michael Jackson and Bohemian Rhapsody. I always feel that these pieces of pop culture are included as a fail-safe just in case I wasn't enjoying the video for what it was without them.
As far as style goes, I;ll just say it may be helpful to refine the details of your drawing style, since although much of it was OK quality there were a few points where I was confused about just what was happening. (For example, in the beginning when John rested his face in his hand.)
As far as story goes, well... there didn't seem to be one... I didn't understand what was going on other than a rough parody of "A Christmas Carol,' and the lack of central theme and plot combined with the strange flow of events made it very difficult to stay interested. There were some neat visual effects, but I think they would've done better if there were a more compelling story line since the purpose of these effects is to put the viewer in a mindset that is appropriate to the mood of the film.
Last thought: try to go easy on the "random" breed of humor. If used with skill, it can really add to a whimsical story. If used excessively however, it makes for a jumpy story that becomes boring. ;)
Sorry to review your eyeballs out, but I had a lot of criticism to offer! Good luck, and keep up the good work. Hope at least some of this was helpful. :)
Ughh but I hate poorly done random humor as well, but thanks for the review! I did find it helpful!
Mer.
The animation was alright, and there was a part that made me smile a bit (when they were shooting each other and it was kind of epic), but other than that the content is nothing new and hardly what I'd call provocative.
That's really all there is to say.... I didn't come away from this video feeling I gained anything at all. Just some reused theme that I've seen over and over again with some decent animation quality, as far as the classic bare-bones sort of flash art goes.
YES
I love Peacetank! It's cute and funny. Whenever I need to put a grin on my face I watch this little video. The only reason it's a 9 and not a 10 is because I always wish it would go longer haha. Other than that, LOVE IT!
Ehh....
I guess it's a nice sentiment, but perhaps a little misguided and not very effective. Just sayin, if I were gonna off myself and I thought I'd spend just one hour on NG to see if something might change my mind, this probably wouldn't be it. I couldn't really even tell at first if suicidal people were being sympathized with or mocked, and there didn't seem to be anything too profound in content, just a suicidal person comitting suicide and then a PSA saying "Don't do it, talk about it." Not very powerful is all.
