Well, I'm pretty much Dan. I despise the 1 after my Alias but what can you do. Hopefully my stuff doesn't suck too bad.

Haha, another great KFK. It gets an 8 for graphics because they were great drawings. A 10 for style because the storybook style with lack of animation is great. I'm too lazy to explain the rest but they were all great. Excellent work!

I saw 300 yesterday, and I must say, everything did in fact have abs. And banana hammocks, lots and lots of banana hammocks. This movie is hysterical, because it covered every aspect of 300 that I thought was funny and/or awesome. 5/5

Haha, I remember this submission....the one that used Rock Lobster! I cut it out of Triple Take since it was used here, the funny thing is that it's almost exactly the same as yours. Well, sort of. I just had the final high pitched "ROCK LOBSTAH!" with phoenix shouting it the same way. Oh and about that blurryness, it's definetely there, I can think of the beginning of the movie (the Happy Gimore scene) Edgeworth is pretty blurred. Let's face it, Flash does not do a very good job at cutting out PW sprites. I ended up using photoshop. What I did was open the GIF file in shop, which distributed it into layers (like the bitmaps in Flash) and you can then save each layer as it's own file (save them as GIFs and Flash will convert them to bitmaps) and they come out much sharper and of better quality. It looks fine as is, but it would look even better if you polished it a bit.
Anyway, like I said, good job.

I really like your submissions. You know what they say about great minds thinking alike.
Odd that it's blurry for some people. I never noticed. Not on this one, anyway. Other sprites were kind of bad, so I never used them.
Interesting way of doing the converting. I'll take it into account. Thank you for the suggestion

I like how I sent you the gavel audio, directed you to the site you downloaded your music from, helped you out with development by giving you tips with photoshop, and then didn't get credited. But that's not why I'm really mad. Many of those quotes have been used, such as Dragostea Din Tei (which has been done WAAAY too much. Also, I'm pretty sure that that same Wayne's World quote was in my flash. Now, I wouldn't care if it was an honest mistake. But you must have known, because of the fact that you said you loved all my flashes. Is that the thanks I get?
Author's Response:
Yes you did help me start off this movie so thank you. Why be mad, they are just freaking quotes?!?! Also, this is my movie I can make it the way I want. In fact, I have the right to give where credit where credit is due. I do enjoy a couple of your flashes but I was not aware that you used a Wayne's World quote. Hell I am sure many quotes are being used over and over in some way. I worked on this fbf project for 8 hours. To my knowledge I focused upon what I was making and not others. In the mean time, not to be rude, stop being so cry baby like. :O I hope you enjoyed seeing this movie other than that I at least put some Action Scripit to it. :D

Haha, take that Phoenix Wrong haters! AshfordPride strikes back! Though not as good as the others, you did get better at syncing, which is good. I really liked it, but your other works were a tough act to follow.

As a fellow PW animator, I know it can be hard to get the syncing just right, and good clips, but at some points I wondered if you even cared. Seems at least 3 or 4 clips were taken from other flashes (Kill Bill from Last Stand). They also moved around a lot as the frames changed, and that makes it look extremely sloppy and rushed. It can become quite distracting. Especially Gumshoe. Also, here's a tip : if one clip is much quieter than the others, go find a better version. Or, make another layer and put it in again, that sometimes makes them louder. Next time, put more love into it. But I will say that it was better than many out there.

Effort was put in, but working with sprites is really quite annoying P:

I don't really play Halo, but I still enjoyed the humor of it. I laughed at the "Oooooh eeeemmm eeefff geeee!!!! n000000b!:

I liked the Turd Sandwich one, very fitting. Though the sprites moved around a lot, so try fixing the positions. Also, maybe change the name because there is already a parody entitled "Phoenix Maybe?" It seems a bit rushed like I said, just work on the positions of the sprites because it takes a lot out of the appearence.

This tutorial really helped with sprites, I was beginning to give up hope! And beleive me, you are not a shitty teacher, you did a good job at basic sprite animation.
