[Suicidal Men]

Nice selection of four shorts

I've seen stuff like this before, but that doesn't make this any less good. Four suicidal shorts, didn't like the third one but the rest were OK. Individually they were on the short side but cumulatively it's OK. Liked the graphical style, simple but effective.

[Scarce Reality]

For a trailer it's OK

Not a bad trailer - it would make me want to watch the following movies. The stills you use are well drawn, and the background music is good. It doesn't tell you much, but for once that's not a problem in a weird way.

[The Dojo]

OK short

It's fairly short and plotless, but I found it funny which is good enough. The graphics looked good and the sounds were clear enough. It's not bad considering its age at all, worth looking at.

[Plane Crash]

Way too short

It's over far too quickly, and that plane looks like something you'd make whilst watching Blue Peter when you're six - it's not very interesting at all. Too short and no plot.

[The Zombie Takeover]

Very good seasonal movie

You've done a good job with this, although I suspect if you'd have released this a month later rather than right near Halloween it wouldn't be scoring quite so highly... the graphical style is great. Lots of attention to detail, it looks very nice and somewhat spooky. Sounds weren't bad at all. It's not one of my favourites but it's a very good effort which has paid off with the results it's got.

[teh cowmputar shou #1]

Not bad

I liked this - pokes fun at idiots who write like they're just celebrating their third birthday, and it's funny. Solid stuff - nice simple graphics, the animation at the end was good, sounds were clear. Not sure how you'd make this a series, but give it a go.

[Ferrari Enzo]

Very basic flash skills

Technically, there isn't very much to this flash at all. It's all basic stuff and this could easily have been made in an hour. But for telling you about the car it's OK. If it wasn't such a cool car I'd probably have voted lower.

[log boy #2]

I'm scared

I don't know quite why you can call this log boy #2 - the only thing that was similar was the presence of Log Boy. That was like some crazy acid trip - didn't look anything like the first one, didn't make much sense, but it looked cool and in some ways it was kind of funny.

[log boy # 1]

Very nice short cartoon

Surprisingly good - the whole idea is comic, and the voices are very good, as are the graphics which are simple but look great at the same time. Funny stuff, worth watching.
