hey nice work
regardless of your prementioned rip off... its pretty good...
futher then that.. its so good that you shouldnt have bothered trying to rip off a great.
you obviously have the ability to make some pretty good art...
next time create you own story... maybe you did... but it was a bit plagerised.(right spelling)
looking forward to more things from you.
dude
ok you have alot alot of talent just I find it to be alot like adam phillip but ... thats ok just try to make it different next time coz that flash probably took alot of time and effort and it sux getting bashed about all the time but I find it good anyways just try to whip up your own style in there
...
If i'd never seen Adam Phillips Flash stuff, i would've liked it, but it was exactly the same as his, i even checked the author again, nothing in that story was yours except the character you made the whole setting and the kind of character you have was made by adam phillips...
i understand what you guys are saying but i think it's a bit harsh to claim it was a rip off, i'll agree that i aspire to adam phillips attention to detail and fluid disney-esqe animation techneques. If we're going to be picky isnt adam phillips ripping off disney?
maybe
maybe...he was inspired..OR this is adam phillip
cause that looked much pretty the same, or this guy is...a Real big fan, but i just stick with.....that this is... adam philip
A fairly original piece of work!
I chuckled when I saw the last review, labeling you as an Adam Phillips imitator. This was hardly the case. Not every animation with backgrounds featuring well-drawn nature scenes (rocks in your case) is a homage to Mr. Phillips.
We'll get down to bare bones: Your main character (Antwon?) had the closest resemblance to Phillips' work, looking like Auld Sage with a bit of hair.
THAT'S ABOUT IT!

Some very original work in there! The fog scene, especially. Beautiful rendering of the trees and rocks in scenes following. A little more detail could've suited Antwon's building more. During the first few scenes after he wakes up and goes outside, there is an absence of of highlighting in both the backgrounds and on Antwon's fur. In some places, he appears terribly flat in comparison to the background. The two main instances of this was when he walked out of the shade of his house and second when he walked under the tree. Also, his anatomy (simple as it is) is off when he reaches inside the hive to pull the bunch of flowers out, the left arm looked far too stretched.
It was very refreshing to see bits and gadgets of technology here and there in the rural setting. Creates mystery.

Your timing was excellent!--- I laughed my ass off throughout the course of the movie. When he eats the dandelion and the cut-to-black when the hive falls on his head... You've a very natural sense of anticipation. The sirens going off inside the larger-than-life hive was a completely surreal and hilarious experience.
- Sound -
The music went well with the movie for the most part. The opening was spot on. In some places it stuck out and affected the mood, though. First, the *ZZZZZZZIP* of the record skidding to a halt killed a good vibe you had going. (not to mention it's an over-used punch to begin with.) The setting you've made is so unique, it ruins the authenticity when you throw in a SFX that we immediately relate to every other *ZZZZZZZIP* situation we've heard. The effect is: Us getting pulled out of YOUR world, snap back into the reality of ours. That's the most critical thing I'll say about the production. :)
Great stuff!
