simply amazing!

[How to make a hamburger]

This made first place where????

[Strawberry Bible Verses]

maybe this will help

no offense, but I have a little advice. You used the equivalent of stop-gap animation in the cinema biz but in flash it's just frame-by-frame.

First of all, you want to make your set as plain as possible if it's not pertinent to the scene. For example, use 2 large peices of posterboard for your set. One on the floor, and one standing vertically behind the stage (scene elements).

Second, you should have zoomed in closer to your characters. You have made a flash animation that is 1.2MB large and most of your scene is a chair with cloth drapped over it. IF this were a gif animation, the file size would have been much smaller because the only elements that change are a small portion of the overal raster area. But in flash with imported graphix, each frame shoots up your file size. You could have imported the same size images but zoomed in so that your characters filled the screen and it would have been a more interesting view.

Also, and this (hopefully helpful) criticism is going to hurt them most: Most good movies have something called a plot. Granted, it's fashionable to celebrate wanton action and violence, but if you are going to concentrate on those facets of movie making, you may want to focus more attention on the quality of your special effects.

I voted 4/5 anyway!

[Lucky Ladybug!!!!!]

Bwahahahahaha

I'm gettin the feeling a lot of people don't appreciate your sense of humor. This was hilarious!!!!!!!!! The flashy spinny flowers and stars and all that...

[Outside-Pepsi]

kewl

Good shit, pepsi. The only thing is when you take a very serious emotion like rejection and exceptance among peers, and put clocks in it, it starts making me laugh my ass off!

[Women Drivers]

good!

I liked it. Kinda funny. I voted 5 (would give it 4.5 if I could), but since you asked for advice, here's my input. I would make the birds a little more fiesty when the first woman driver stops. Make them wait longer and give her more lip when she honks. That would make it funnier. Have them say to each other about what push-overs women drivers are, to help set it up for when the second woman driver comes and doesn't stop. Also, one other minor detail. Those dainty women drivers that would stop for some birds in the road wouldn't run over the roadkill. She would probably go out of her way to steer around it. But funny stuff. I like it.

[Farewell, Dave Thomas.]

This was actually quite good!!!

I luv the orange singing opera. The ghost food....nice touch. Maybe you could thrown in more, like do a history of Dave's advertising (you put in the "where's the beef", but you should research more). Do that and you would prolly get one of those flash movies that gets hot for a few days goes around the internet in everyone's emails.

[Life of an Emoticon]

Nice!

This would be a cute little addition to anyone's chat page. Very original.
