[Horace Ep.4: Ghoul]

Go Horace!

Ok, this was so far the least eventful Horace episode but that is due to the movie on which the animation is based. As always, I like your style of the movie. The style of the movie is definite reminder of those "old" horror movies. Horror movies back then had a lot of talking and had less visual gore e.g. the original Psycho. Good job and looking forward to the next Horace :)

Thanks for the review Istvan. There was something I had liked about that old style dialogue and the fact that it was a very old horror movie, back when things were very tame. Currently working on Horace 5. :)

[Furby Attacks 2]

Great continuation of the horror spoof

As this episode 2, be sure to watch episode 1 first!
The dark visuals, creepy sound and storyline is very fitting to the spooky feel of the "Evil" Furby attack. Good job!
I didn't mind the button to advance the text as other reviewers. Perhaps in the next episode the text would be shown for a certain amount of time and add a Stop/Play button for people that need more time with reading. There would be only one button that would change from Stop to Play and vice versa.
Looking forward to the next one :)

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks Istvan for the review. Well, I'll be working on ep. 3 sometime later. I might just ditch the button altogether in the next one.

[Furby Attacks]

Nicely detailed spooky movie

The detailed graphics and style gives the movie a very spooky feeling. Great job! The sounds were good enough for a non-professional animation. Just one question: it seems strange that neither the man in the lazyboy nor the girl in the shower moved after the first bite. Not even a sound. Maybe those are Hypnotic Furbies? Yes, probably that's what happened because they can hypnotize you with their big creepy eyes. No wonder people see them as evil - lol :)
Anyways, keep pu the great work.

Violet-AIM responds:

They were too stunned to move maybe, lol. Good point, I probably could've shown more movement for realism, but wasn't thinking of it at the time. Thanks for the support Istvan.

[Marsh Madness Remake]

Not bad but not exactly a tribute

I wouldn't really call this a tribute because it has almost the same plot as Marshmallow Madness (hence low style and overall score). Making your own plot or at least making lots of changes to the original would've been better. Other than that, the animation part is well done.
Cheers,

ok, im not even going to say anything...

[Ghost Motel 4 Outtakes]

Excellent "Behind the Scenes" for GM4

Great job guys! Funny, well done "Behind the Scenes" look at the Ghost Motel series. It was interesting to meet the "ghosts behind the actors" :)

A few other things:
1) there was one scene in the commentary where both the commentators and people in the watched movie were talking at the same time. It was a bit distracting.
2) At the end of Outtake 4, Tabitha could've said something like "Hey, Joseph ..." or "Hey, Joseph! I know how we can get free tickets" or something similar because as of now Outtake 4 is kind of open ended.

Anyways, keep up the excellent work and I hope to see GM5 in the near future :)

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks for the review Istvan. It was kind of tricky getting the film they were watching to match with what the ghosts were talking about since I had it on another movie clip/layer, so I probably didn't notice it that much about the voices being simultaneous, but thanks for bringing that up. And good idea about the "how to get free tickets thing". lol

[Lepo 1: Hunting]

Nice

Great job! I liked the simplicity of the animaiton comined with nice graphics gave it a unique style. The colors were a nice addition to the mostly black and white backgrounds.

The (I'm assuming) Flash library's 'Book Drop' sound at the end when Lepo falls off the horse is funny because I've seen many movies recently using the same sound as a drop sound. ;)

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks for the kind words TutiTV. Ya I probably need to find some more sound fx for variety, but the 'book drop' was just there, low in kilobyte, so I just used it. :)
