Yeah, I have no ability to make flash, so I'll just judge everyone else's. Makes sense. Very kind of me. Blah.

I've never heard of "StarCraft" before, but I didn't feel lost in your animation, which was good. The violence was pretty decent, not gratuitous, and the plot wasn't just an excuse for violence which is always nice. The weakest point in your movie, I'd say, is your voices. I can tell they were all done by one person (you, right?). You need to have more variety, better acting in your voices. They all sounded the same. I'd frequently fade out during longer lines. Your story-telling and characterization is very nice. I'm curious to see what happens next in your story.

"Story could have used a little bit of work."
I a huge fan of your artistry. Watching Paladin develop into a full-fledged masterpiece is amazing. That said, I loved the art in this story, but your story-telling skills could use a bit more work. This one has a good beginning and a good middle, but it could use a better ending. A more conclusive ending -- does the Loser have any hope? Why doesn't he conform? Why do they conform? Why do they hate him for not conforming? Why doesn't he fight back? Why aren't there any other misfits like him?

I loved your George W. Bush TV show and I love this! I cannot find a single mistake in it. Good writing, good sound, good acting, excellently animated. And best of all, it's funny because you just know it's true.

I rated you a "four" just for the beginning, but the middle fight scene was too cliche. I was a little disturbed to see a middle finger as a main character, but I was surprised by how well it worked, all the cool angles that came up. It was kind of cool.

Since it was made for a health company, I can forgive the boring first part...it wasn't decent until you got to the evil conspiracy at the very end.

"Came across as a possible Star Wars-esque tale."
I am interested in what they're doing there, and where they're going, and your art skills are quite excellent. Your story-telling skills, while better than a lot on this site, still needs some improvement; it suffered from sci-fi jargon and you never saw the character's faces. For a while I was confused because I thought there was only one ship, and then I was surprised to find that there were two ships and three pilots. If you show us the character's faces, gave them more personality, added more plot points, your series could very much improve.

Yes, i understand where you are coming from, i realise that a lot of it was confusing, and could be improved. I want to learn from all my mistakes in this one and make the next one as good as possible, but the sci-fi jargon is needed, or else it sounds crap.
Jacob needed to speak to Ryan (The cargo ship pilot), and explain what settings to change to make the enemies bullets deflect when they hit his shield, there really is no way to go around that other than to use sci-fi jargon, and i quite like having the right to make up my own sci-fi jargon.
Other than that, i will take all your other suggestions into consideration..
But the sci-fi jargon is here to stay baby!

Your animation is good - as it's clearly a fantasy, I can forgive all the laws of physics being blatantly broken. However, I can't help but wonder what the hell a fully "dressed" girl in stilletoes was doing out in the middle of the ocean, and why she wasn't soaking wet. Also, there is no way 555-WARRIOR is a real phone number. But I'm just picky.
Your animation and style is extremely quality, though. You could probably do wonders with a more complicated plot.

I wish there was more story, though. I kept on thinking, "This is dedicated to the boy of my dreams...if we ever meet...WAKE UP."
The graphics are really cute, very well done. You should redo this, though, and put more story in.

I was amazed at how smooth your artistry was, was simple but elegant it was. You told us it was a tribute to your grandmother but I didn't see a whole lot of that. Other than that it was really good - your lip-synching skillz are amazing. Good job.
