[Horrible humanity]

I think I've got it...

...your dad grew up with a silver spoon up his ass and nowday's he can't even afford a babysitter let alone a fucking butler.

[Autumn Tree]

Masterpiece.

One of you guys mention in the special features that you'd seen Elephant, the indie flick directed by Gus Van Sant, and that you really didn't want this to be like that. Well, don't worry. I've seen Elephant too, and I thought it very disappointing.
I would rather watch this flash any day. More effort and class has gone into this than in any single frame of GVS's film.
Some amazing techniques here - split-screen was cool, especially the way it's kinda only split between the characters and not the backgrounds.
I also had fun spotting all the different movie posters. All these small details add up to a very real feel.
I gave you a 5 for violence, I dunno why but it felt wierd to give you a ten. Those were real kids who died, I can't celebrate in graphic interpretation of that in the same way I could in a horror anime or any other fictional violence. Not long before Columbine, were I used to live in Scotland there was a town not far from me where an adult walked into a primary school (Grade School for US) and shot an entire class full of kids and their teacher. I don't think I could watch a flash movie based on that.

A provocative 10 overall.

Way too short!

And that's a damn shame because the 7 seconds that are here are tremendous. I want to see so much more.

It shouldn't really be this big in file size, try compressing the music a bit and maybe cut it short.
You'd have 10 from me, if it was longer.
6 here and I Voted 3.

[Head Strong]

This was good.

It's a stick movie, but it's a good one. A bit short though. I can see you put alot of effort in to the looks and effects.
Great backgrounds which zoom left and right with gusto. Awesome motion blurring and all.

Nice.

[The Undead]

the strangest thing...

...I've seen around these parts. What do I think? I'm not sure really. The art was excellent, realistic bodies and faces, dark and moody locations. Great colour palette really bringing out the atmosphere of the graveyard.
The voices were nice and clear.
But the story/script - WTF?.........not saying that's bad though.
Kinda like a mixture between the movies of David Lynch and Ed Wood. I'm giving you an 8.
Confused Nicely.

[7 Feet under (Noir)]

Classy Flash

This was terrific, really nice noirish tale your spinning here. The artwork is supreme, all very polished and given the feel of a graphic novel. It's all directed with skill too, lot's of neat little inserts and cuts using different techniques. I like all these things.
Just out of curiosity - do you storyboard and screenwrite your work?

I haven't seen the first part yet but I'll be sure to check it out based on the quality of this one. You got a 5 from me.
Well done, I look forward to seeing more.

I story board them on a notebook when I feel inspired. Sometimes I get some happy accidents that look good and I keep them. The plot will begin to unravel slowly as the characters are introduced.

[Kids should be outside.]

Wonderful.

Very nice little flash movie. Your drawing style is great, not shaky at all like you were saying at the end. The music was suttle and went well with the animation. I thought it was really good.

And yes... kids should be outside.
