Interview Flash piece any tips?
I have created this flash
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/411168 as an example of my skills for an interview I hasten to add I'm a graphic designer not an animator so if it's shoddy please me polite lol.. it has no pre loader as alas I haven't a clue how to make one. anyway click on the flowers for some soothing tunes. |
I like it, I love newgrounds(Not the point.) Anyway, I did like it. It took me a minute to realize the hidden things in the picture.
I did really like it. it could use a bit more colors though. All the green bothered my eyes a little. |
I think it looks pretty good. :3
The water could use some more... animation, I guess though. So that it cycles more? And for some reason I was expecting the flowers to chime when clicked on/moused over. Although now that I reread your post, they do start those music. Which is kinda obnoxious when paired together... xD The tail of the person in the tree is also very jarring in my opinion. ^^" Good luck in your interview. ^^ |
animation wise the timing needs work. everything is moving much too slowly. the water movement doesn't make sense. i always suggest people stay away from animating water unless they really want to spend hours on end trying to get it right. :]
(the flowers need to be moved up to a layer in front of the water.) overall, there is no real digression between the movements either. all the moving objects are a little choppy, especially the creature in the tree's foot. composition wise, the space is very empty. it seems like you need to add a lot more elements to the background. as far as the drawing technique, the coloring of the tree bothers me. those scratchy lines on the trees and grass aren't consistent throughout the entire piece and though that would maybe justify the choppy animation, the drawing technique wasn't used enough throughout the piece. i think you should consider revising your color scheme in the entire thing. none of the colors you used create any sort of ambiance. is this supposed to be a happy scene? a sad one? colors chosen/used really make a difference to help get your point across. i'm not sure how all the elements of the piece fit together or what one has to do with the other. that bug seems forced in there just so you can have something moving. the petals falling aren't convincing. the looping is very noticeable and it shouldn't be. if you had petals falling at different times from different heights then it would look more natural. those are just the first things i noticed. :} sorry for the long long critique, but i always have a lot to say haha. good luck to you on your interview. |
Unfotunately, I'm unable to see it as it says it has been "blammed", whatever that means x3 |
waaah wth did it have to get blammed >3>

MayuSatomiJuRei - imageshack allows uploads of flash files if you want to use that. as long as it's a single scene, you can upload it there. http://www.imageshack.us
