[Songs With Dave Ep. 1]

Too simple.

Its alright, sorta funny.

It's just the only thing you've done, it terms of good animation, is lip-sync Dave to the song, to a plain background.

Why watch what I can listen to in the audio portal.

Word of advice, if you're gonna make a series of these, add some hooks and things to keep it interesting and funny. Build on the joke the song has already given you.

Something could be, animating the background singers and in this particular songs case, you could've had 'happy Dave' killing himself in numerous ways.

Hope I've helped you to make a successful series,

Lycrios responds:

Thank Mate, I'll add funny clips of song related stuff to my next one :D and backgrounds ect... This was just a test to see if the series is worth making :D

[Random Street Crime]

A fair attempt

Had you not put "Not only because I'm a bit new to flash..." I would have given this 1 star.
But I'm cutting you some slack.
A few things to point out:
A lack of animation: Lip syncing, and making one guy lift his arm is what seemed to be the very pinnacle of your animation. Try maybe, idk, having one of the guys jump in, and wave hello or something, anything to brake up the stillness.
Poor voicing: I hate computer voices with a passion, and I'm sure there a many more who do. I feel that some text bubbles would have been better then listening to that droning voice.
Boring: The biggest one for me, I honestly felt like closing it numerous times throughout it. As stated by Multihunter, It "was not at all engaging". Have them do something like, walk along while random stuff happens in the background or something.

Not entirely bad however, at least you do have some form of build up to a main joke. There's an actual point to their banter and the people are recognizable.

Listen to Blackcat2000, he's pretty much hit it on the nail for this one.

Plenty room for improvement.

Adulcar responds:

Agreed!
Making them walking would have been a good thing yeah.
I'll try that on my next flash thanks Xeno!

[Pico Allegro]

KEWL!

This was pretty awesome, your timing to the music was spot on.

But in future, I tried and exclude audio over top (the voices over the music)
They just distracted us from the music and ruined the flow of the whole thing.

Dasneviano responds:

You're probably talking about the bird, right?
I also felt it was a bit distracting... but it had been there since the beginning, I got used to it and payed no attention after a while!
Thanks for the review!!

[Without A Mushroom]

lol

That was awesome! While I was looking forward to mario obliterating the gomba, the instant switch from your art to the mario sprites was hilarious, very well done.

Lol.
