Must have been shit loads of work to accomplish something like that! Respect!

Cool! some really nice shots and frames in this clip. i have to admit that it was a little hard to follow ,what with all that action all over the place... but maybe i'm just getting too old for this.
two small things which i found slightly problematic- it takes too many clicks and popups to reach the actual movie, and that tiny "watch the movie" button is ,well, tiny. and slightly illegible too.
And finally - since it's a hiphop movie, i think the music should be encoded with a higher bitrate, it's annoyingly lowquality at some instances.
Good job!.

Solar C: Almost 2 years in development and a finally a couple months of animation and BAM...Thanks...glad you liked it.

Bilbo: I feel you on the WATCH THE MOVIE tag...it is small and kind of illegible. You are the 2nd person to say the quality of the music was "choppy" we'll say and you're right...for a HIP HOP MOVIE...this is suppose to be banging!! My webmaster is on it!!

As far as the story goes...LOL...yeah, you might be a lil' old...everybody else is following along. Wink

No pun intended...just messin' with ya.

Peace

hey i didnt know this was going to be flash...i was thinkin in the lines of Penny Arcade style...its got a nice flow to it, did you lend you voice in this?

Awetopsy · Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 9:08 am

some really great direction in this flick.. I have one crit tho..

the sound.. the sound seemed almost too loud for the movie.. so it gives this distorted sound.. and It didnt sound very good.. I wanted to hear what they were saying and I most of the time I couldnt..

anyways thats my crits.. good job on it tho..

Marckus · Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 9:09 am

i haven't actually read it because for some reason it opened up about 12 copies of my browser, odd. (mozilla1.2b)

Reakshun · Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 1:01 pm

Hoodz: Thanx, gee. Yeah, I did the evil dude's voice as well as my cartoon self. Of course, I had to do the music as well. btw, what exactly is Penny Arcade style?

Awetopsy: good lookin'. I knew you would like. Yeah, the sound.. I've gotten more complaints about it and I'm on the webmaster...he says it's something in the flash file so i might have to upload it again after tinkering with it for a sec.

Marckus: Yo, it's all for the love of da arts: hip hop, graf, b-boy, etc. The next episodes will encompass all of those...I'll keep you posted. Holla at me.

Simoom: I don't know about that one... first instance...

I'm @ school right now on break...I'll check with everybody later..

Peace

Sweet! I gotta agree with everybody else, the only thing that could use improvement would be the sound. You should be able to just up the bit rate in the flash prefereneces to improve the sound quality(though it'll increase the size of the swf.

I've been working on my own online flash comic/animation for a while now and it's a lot of work. I say comic/animation cause it's gonna be less on the animation side and more on the still images side, at least at first.

Anyway, great work and I can't wait to see more.

Reakshun · Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2003 1:42 pm

Yo, pirtch, I will tell you it was hell puttin' this together especially with Flash being kind of limited and all. i just had to do it though...doesn't seem like Hip Hop knows animation is another medium in which to express itself.

Just do what you can. I had a lil' opportunity so I took it and this is what happened. Still...moving...shitty...whatever...just as long as you get your point across Wink

Sorry about the sound...the web guy told me he can't do anything about it...
I'll resolve it in the next ep.

Peace.

Try opening it in Mozilla (1.2.1). "Fun."

aColdOldKodiak · Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2003 9:21 pm

awsome work.. very good design. Indeed it's a bit hard to follow, but if you really want to try, you can.

I didn't understand anything at all hehe. A mixture of flash, anime, and graffiti. Very Happy

Reakshun · Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 9:09 am

mb: don't know what mozilla is? explain...

aColdOld: thanx for even trying...at least you met me half way!

Shizo: maybe we should smoke together...just playin'.

um Mozilla is an open source browser based off of Netscape technology (or are Netscape's browsers based off Mozilla technology? I can never remember.)

In any case, opening your website using Mozilla spawns an endless number of new browser windows. (Which is strange, because Mozilla's popup blocker should stop that sort of behavior.) Needless to say, it was impossible for me to even view your site, and after its incredibly annoying behavior, I no longer want to view it Smile

edit - A link, if you'd like to try it yourself: www.mozilla.org

Reakshun · Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 7:34 pm

try Explorer maybe?
