The video quality was good, and so was the animation. One thing that you could've still done was lower the sound quality in exchange for some video improvement. I think it was unnecessary to maintain the song on almost full bitrate. Also, please don't put spoilers on your author's notes... It's not a smart move. :P Still, keep going!
Author's Response:
The song only added about 500kbs, so we thought that'd be ok, I hate bad bitrate songs...
I won't put spoilers anyware anymore, thanks!
Thanks for your review!

At least it was somehow original. I still would recommend you to check the scaling of your movie... I could see everything I wasn't supposed to see and that was really disturbing...
Author's Response:
There was a problem with the initial movie dimensions when I first uploaded it. I noticed it first thing after submission, but it took me a few minutes to fix.

This is nothing out of ordinary, since there are a dozen other I-have-superpowers-but-I-don't -know-who-I-am-or-where-I-come -from- stories. Still, you have most of the basics covered pretty nicely.
Try some shading on your characters, makes them look better.
Make sure your spelling is correct, there were lots of typos there.
See to the sounds too.
Also, the seriousness of it all was a bit humorous, was it supposed to be?
Once you get the grip of things I'd say you have lots of potential to put into practice. This was not a bad start at all, but you have a long way to go. PM me once the next part is out if you see fit.

I didnt notist the spelling mistakes, I'll see to the sound next time. Erm... it wasn't suppose to be humorous, oh well.

"Few beginner- like flaws, but great!"
The beginning was quite tendious and long, as well as pretty boring, but if you saw it through it really was worth it. Being your first flash, this is definately the better kind. Original ideas were good, but some things seemed to go on too long. Try making your animations a little more dynamic in the future so that it won't get annoying for the viewer. All in all, a great start, since you actually put some effort into it. :)
Author's Response:

The next time i'll use less slowmotion!^^
Thanks for The review!^^

It's slow, might be funny to watch for a while, but in the end it turns sad anyways. I liked your attempt to make this funny but I couldn't help recognizing a VERY old Donald Duck- cartoon joke at the beginning. That would've been fine with some self irony, but now it just seemed like trying to walk away with someone elses ideas. Correct me if I'm wrong, in that case, nice work with that one. The graphics were far from good, but you'll get there finally if you train enough. :)
The animation and all the action were a bit too slow-going. You should try pacing them up a bit. With zooming, try using the "ease"- option in the properties to make it look faster. As for sounds, nothing special here, but at least sounds exist.
I might be a little rough here, but I just had a week full of bad nights and a high fever...
Anyways, a good start!

Well I am glad you can have a moment to lament on your childhood memories from this flash, I am not an artist this was a quick experiment and well I have another flash coming so hopefully you can review it again maybe you can link to another infantile cartoon, thanks for the criticism stranger

Yep, artistic at least. It had something dreamlike in it, but it turned out to be more like a nightmare. If you just had some more surprising elements included or some kind of a story or a plot, then it could be better. This just screams Salad Fingers, by the way.
Anyways, a pretty decent flash, but needs something to hold the viewer's attention through it all.
Try making it more interesting.
3/5
Author's Response:
"Artistic" was indeed a bit of what I was going for. I meant it to be slightly laid back and dreamy; pointless, not too energetic, but soothing. I made the first bits of it for my own relaxation, then it just kept expanding. Over the summer I created tons of small clips of flash animation which never got anywhere. This one somehow seemed special.. so I fed it well, kept it in good sun, and it's grown up to this. I really just want it to be a yellow light that pours all over you and calms you when you're tired.

How does a ball of fire create a shadow when it approaches something? Oh well... it was okay... The graphics were okay... the animation was okay... the music was... not so okay... anyways, okay.
Author's Response:
It's not a fireball, it was blue.. I dont know what that is. A DBZ like energy sphere or whatever? I gave it a shadow for that little extra. Also because I wanted to so hah.
Kthx

You've got something worth making in your hands, but I've got to admit it was pretty boring...especially without sounds or music. You use camera movements way too much and therefore the viewer gets bored. Don't overdo them. Fix these little problems and it just might work! :)
Author's Response:
Yeah, no more slow stuff.

The graphics were nice along with the sounds and gameplay, and it even run at a decent speed on my old 'n slow computer.
Still there was something that bothered me... was that lined area supposed to be a scripted camera? Cause if it was, it damn sure didn't work properly on me...
Author's Response:
