[Gangsta Gangsta!]

A big meh

Well, it's a Clock Day flash, it shouldn't really be too good.

You've come a long way since this. Or maybe this was just a rush job, I haven't checked out anything else you did from back when you made this.

The standard clocks are in here, sure, but the talk animation (the little diamond shape over the head) looks real bad, compared to what it usually looks like.

There's pretty much nothing to say on graphics, as all you've done is use pre-made clocks, with images that have been cropped poorly. There are no backgrounds, except for a few pictures.

Audio-wise, sure, cool song, and I gotta say, I liked how you "changed" the lyrics.

Other than that, there's really not that much to say. If you'd spent more time on it, it could've been pretty cool. Yo Clock Crew Raps could be a pretty cool concept if you put more time and effort into it. But as I've said, Clock Day flashes aren't really about effort and quality, but about protecting as much as you can.

Haha this was made after the other flashes submitted. It was made to look shitty as if it was made in 2001. There will probably be more YCCR, possible this year. <3

Not your best work

The graphics in this flash are decent. Then again, the clocks are pre-made, and the backgrounds were really simple. The tin foil hats were actual tin foil hats copied into the flash, which is okay, at least you did good with the lasso tool. I guess that's what you used. I haven't opened flash in a year.

There was a lack of music, but that didn't really matter. It only annoyed me a little in the scene after he runs away from DNA Clock (?) and jumps, it left a gaping hole in the audio aspect of things. The Speakonia voices were easily understandable.

The plot... well, it was boring. It's a joke I've read in multiple comics before, and it's not funny any longer. The ending wasn't too bad, but it was okay, I guess. You could've done something more with it, and it seems like it was ended a bit prematurely.

[Dont Shave Pubes On Plane]

HOW DARE YOU

Some people suffer from a mental disorder, similar to simple OCD, that gives them the impulse to shave their pubes AT THE SPOT. They can't help it. And here you are, dissing them. Uncool.

But seriously, one of the best infomercials I've seen. I loved the style the entire video was in, making it look like an old classic PSA, with the flickering image and greyscale colors.

The plot? Might be unsuitable for some, but I liked it. I did not expect it at all, and it actually made me laugh. Considering how tired I am, that's a feat.

Music used was also perfect for both the PSA and the style of the movie. Speakonia was easily understandable, which is good. Sometimes I can't understand anything.

Good joke, simple and fun animation, generally a good Clock flash.

Haha thanks a lot

Oh, it's a loop?

Didn't really notice it was a loop till it had gone on for a minute. Huh.

You're the kind of guy that gives the clock crew a better reputation. There are a lot of people with the impression that the CC is just another spam crew. They should be directed to, amongst others, your movies.

At first I thought this would be another boring simple movie. Mostly just pictures ran through a filter to make them look painted. And sure, it's nothing ground breaking. It's simple and short.

There is little animation, but I really like how you use the 'camera'. It really 'does it' for me. Typing the lyrics into the flash also made sure it didn't get boring, and kept people watching till the loop came.

And boy, what an epic loop, rite? Golden sure as hell knows how to party.

I'd love to see something more, but this is a short loop, and I guess that's what it's supposed to be. Doesn't seem like a lot of effort went into it, but it's short and simple. I guess that's enough, right?

[Phalanx]

Neat animations with glitchy music.

I'm guessing you got quite alot of points for this one. You should've.

It's nothing amazing, nor groundbreaking, but it's different and unusual. I guess it could be called a music video of sorts. I really enjoyed the music, sounding very choppy and glitchy, electronic, reminding me of a video game. I wouldn't have made the connection to Tetris unless I read Coop's review, but once I've read that, I gotta say it really does. The blocks, and the choppy retro-electronic music really does remind me of that.

It was a little short, but that was the assignment. Considering what your task was, and what you did, this was very well done, and the only thing I can really say something on, is the little worm/maggot/eal/sloth/whatever, which flowed over the screen at one point. It didn't really fit in with the flash, and it's movement didn't seem to flow just right, it looked like it was on a completely different sheet. If that makes any sense.

Dark and shocking

I must say, I'm starting to like your use of colours. Just a few colours that really completely sets the mood for the entire comic. Black, red and white? It works out very well, especially seeing as you've barely used red, and only where it really fits.

There are some typos, but that doesn't really mean much. The story in this chapter is short, as per usual, but really good, and it does pull you in, and leave you wanting for mroe. At least, that's what I feel.

As with the last episode, you've used some great audio in the background, that really fits really well with the story and the mood that you're trying to set, sort of eerily, scary but not IN-YOUR-FACE shocking/scary.

P.S. what exactly are the typos that info will be most appreciated!

Original!

I really liked Marsonicio!

[Spring: Part II]

And I love you too!

That was absolutely not what I had expected to see, which is positive!

I like the style of having some sort of "disturbance" on top of the flash, and the thin outline around the moving characters. I'm not sure why I like it, but it looks good.

Graphically, this is a very simple, and very well-done flash. I really liked the clocks, which were actual antique clocks instead of three lines. It looks a lot more classy, and serious.

Also liked how you used the clocks to "perform" the song, and the twist ending. Good stuff right there, put a smile on my face. Other than that I don't know what to say. Would love the name of the song, though :)

Love your art style

Starting off, I didn't re-read all the previous chapters.

On with the review, I really like your style. The drawings are slightly sketchy, a style that fits the sweet story being told. I'm guessing it could've been automated, but I didn't get a reaction from pressing play, so I wouldn't know if the speed is fitting.

The story is very short, but it does tell a story, absolutely. You should, however, try to make them longer, which would mean the readers could easily follow the plot without having to re-read anything. I feel like I probably missed something because I don't know the background to this story now.

The background music feels sort of eerily at start, but as it develops it fits the story. It doesn't pull the attention away from what's going on. I'm not sure I agree with Fro on SFX, though it could possibly add something to the story. I'll remain skeptical to that.

Oh, and I can't even remember if I mentioned that your use of warm colours, that aren't screaming for attention, really makes it easy on the eyes. The colours combined with the music and the story makes this a pretty good comic.

Hello,

I don't think there really was anything I could do to catch people up with the story if they didn't read the prior ones, or at least not anything I could do that wouldn't seem forced.

The other chapters are the exact opposite color wise, so this is actually a departure from form...
Anyway thanks for the review!

Oh my, it's live!

I don't think I've ever seen a DailyToon under judgement. Damn timezones. Going to bed with this fresh in mind, I'm expecting some seriously wet dreams.

Cheers, guys. Love the creativity.
