Zelda: The Musical (Original) 


This video is not ment for young kids due to some of the lines. This video is animated well with the old 8 bit style. The music was from Ocarina of Time, but the lyrics were.....original.

Camp Survival - Episode 1 


This video is funny, but has good cuts. The fade cut towards the end from the race to the rooms fit well without causing any problems. The acting was good, but the one guy talked too close to the mic and I heared the static mic.

2 Friends Play Minecraft ~Animation~


This is a fun little animation that they did well drawing. The animation of the characters was very good. The angry guy hitting the tree with the sheep was the best part because the other guy said a tool would be good and the angry guy found one.

Pokemon Apokelypse Inception Trailer (REVISED) 


This video is a parody of real life with pokemon. The effects are really good with the rotoscoping and animated pokemon. The animations look good and the pokemon look really real. The time put into this video had to be long even if this isn't a real movie.

"It's Herobrine" - Song and video as a tribute to Herobrine. 


This video is based on Notch's dead brother Herobrine. The cuts are really good and fit the changes in the music.

Minecraft: The N00b Adventures: So Blocky, So Cool


This video is animated really well. The movements match perfectly like a regular person can. The characters' personalities are alot like a normal persons is.

CGR 232

Real Life Smash Bros Brawl Trailer! 


This video is both funny and has rotoscoping. The rotoscpoing looked really good and was used wisely. It wasn't throught the video, but wasn't too little.

Super Smash Bros Brawl: The Anime


The characters were drawn really well. The animations of dancing and movement was really smooth with no jumps or errors. The animations and pictures were up for a decent amount of time also.

Self Portrait

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3h0rABBmfM&feature=related

The video was made on someone's shyness around cameras. The scene transitions from one place to another is really great. The end where the guy punches the cameraman you can tell its ketchup. They needed to have the ketchup thinner so it acts more like blood.

Nes Game Box


My CD case will have the old NES box like feel. This is an example of what the box looks like and mine will be similar.

University of Toledo Self Portrait Video




This video has a good representation of the guy. Water flows fluently, but can be a raging storm too. My brother has autism so this video relates to my life since i have to watch my brother with his problem.

CGR 232


All American Rejects CD Case




The CD case draws attention because it looks like a poster that has multiple sheets covering portions. The stars relate to the american flag and their name has American in it so people will see what its about. There are different fonts, but the way they are used makes them fit.

FRAG YOU! CeeLo Green "F YOU" Parody with Cortana! 


This video has concepts we used to make our videos. The person playing Cortana was green screened into the clip. What I like the most is is how at certain parts of the song they robotisized their voices.

CGR 232

Kingdom Hearts 2 Intro English Sanctuary Introduction


The intro has parts that I might add to my self portrait video. The beginning where he talks and the words are on the screen gives me an idea to do something similar in my video. The song I would need would be a very sullum sounding like this video does.

The Eye of the Creeper - Minecraft Music Video 


The music was a little loud, but it was more of a rock song so they have some leway. The strait cuts from one scene to another gets a little boring. They should of used some fades.

Fight of israphel! Trailer!


This video's music fit very well. Where the pitch changes new events show onscreen. The special effects was a good addition.

CGR 232

Pulse ((self portrait)) - Clams Casino I'm God  


This self portrait made little sense to me. The rapid changing of the image keeps your attention and the different moods show difference.

The Search - Self-Portrait Video #16 


This video was made very well. The cuts faded very efficiantly. The idea i got from this was either she was looking for herself or someone is missing from her life and she wants him back.

"I Hate Creepers" Song and Music Video 


This video is related to my music video project. The problem with this video is it is loud. The video and transitions were good but the song was so loud i had to really lower my volume setting.

Zelda Music Fan Video #1


This video also relates to my music video project. This video is ok but could of used some work. The pictures are up there for too long and the music change from one to another has a long silent gap.

CGR 232

The Legend of Zelda Theme (Orchestra)


Another related music video that could use some work. The pictures are up for too long and the music cuts to soon from the end. The music need to go to almost the end and the pictures should only be up for a few seconds.

Pokemon! Party Rock Parody - LMFAO 


I like the clip and actions they used when making this music video. They had alot of planing to make these clips and scenes work. Also, some rotoscoping was used to animate the electricity.

Self-Portrait via video


She did very well talking about herself. What she did was say what she likes, but didn't just list them. She showed footage of what she did and liked.

CGR 232

Self Portrait Video 2009 HD


This video is interesting. The guy just used pictures with a few clips. He shows his photography basically saying what he likes to do without saying a word. What is really good is at the end where the rock says "This may be the end." when it is the end of the video.

Jeg går en Tur - A self portrait by Lasse Gjertsen






This self portrait video was made really well. Gjertsen did well adding the cars and people to the scene. This self portrait is him talking about himself and what runs through his head. The animation of him flying was a good addition because it gave a different look than just him walking the entire time.

Black Sabbath cd case






This is a good example of a cd case I need to make. The front (top left) and the back (bottom left) match with the color. The insides match with the texture from the angels from the front and the gradient.

Minecraft Evolution (Minecraft Machinima)


This video animation was made really well, but the music didn't fit at all. The transformation from one thing to another was impressive.

Job Interview (Minecraft Machinima)


This video is really good. Jobs are hard to get and this video shows it. It also shows racism due to the guy being a creeper.

CGR 232

Steve's adventure to real life : Minecraft in real life Movie


They did a good job doing something similar to green screening. The minecraft character actually looks like he is in the real world. I saw no mistakes with the editing.

Heavy Is Lost In MineCraft


Another good video of something similar to green screening. The Heavy from TF2 is in a game not related to his world and blows up alot.

Mari-O Gameplay


This game is a odd mashup of Mario and Portal. I hope whoever made this doesn't hit any copyright laws. I think this idea isn't great because when you have the old style mario and music you want to see a more platformer based game. Also the idea mashup doesn't fit right because mario is set more in the less technological time period.

Mario's parody 


This video is really funny. The opening scene where another mario pushes one mario into the bushes was really creative. Each level is the same start but with changes. Each one had its own way of keeping you watching the video.

Legend of Niel

http://effinfunny.com/legend-of-neil/seasons?vid=342&sid=1&tid=0

This series is really funny, but not ment for young children due to some inapropriate scenes. For this episode the opening scene gets you stuck watching beacuse it makes you wonder whats going on. The song portion at the beginning is really funny with how the audio sounds.

CollegeHumor Originals: The Worst Starcraft General


This video was put together very well. The change from gameplay to animation fits well. What I like about the character they gave to the private is that he knows what to do without needing orders.

Left 4 Speed 2 ( Left 4 Dead 2 Parody ) 


This parody is very funny. The people are really retarted and do what they want. Sometimes I think Left 4 Dead is like this because it is crazy.

CGR 232

Halo Spartan Heaven


This is another funny parody. Everytime he dies he respawns even though he doesn't want to until the end where he can't respawn when he wants to.

Yogscast: Left 4 Dead Minecraft Mod Part 1 


The mod used for this video is really well done. The map is built like you would see it in minecraft. The way they react to situations is funny.

LMFAO- Sexy and I Know It Skyrim Parody "Dragonborn and I Know It" 


The song and video are synced. The video of the guards was good, but attacking guards really ain't smart. The lyrics and video kept a constant pace for the idea.

"Revenge" - A Minecraft Parody of Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love


I like how the guy used his animation skills to make this. My favorite part was the fight scene at the end. This video also has a message in it. Never give up, just give it all you got.

CGR 232

"Mine" - A Minecraft Parody of Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna "Fly" 


This video is generic where it has no animation added. The music and video are timed to the t. The lyrics match well with the idea.

Derpcraft (Minecraft Cartoon)


This animation is funny. The kid starts off hating the game till he collects wood. Then he loves it just to turn around to get eaten.

Minecraft PSA: Don't Kill Pigs. (Animation)


This video is a good reference to how one should look at the game of minecraft. People usually just kill needlessly and not think of what could happen to their world. I like the reference to Obi-Wan when he says "Go home and rethink your life."

old game screens

Frogger start screen


The start screen is simple 8bit pixels, but keeps your attention. The simple basic colors draws people to look at the screen and gives a higher chance of people playing.

CGR 232

Space Invaders


Space invaders is a game that was made during the time people were afraid that aliens would attack 
Earth. This game is a simulation of how someone could fight them back. In reality there is no way some tank could shoot strait up. The basic white and green gives the sense of each character. The green for Earth and white for space.

"Fallen Kingdom" - A Minecraft Parody of Coldplay's Viva la Vida


This music video was great. The scene change between past and present kept you wondering what happened. The music fit the theme and the loss of dear ones.

Mining Diamonds ("Black And Yellow" Minecraft Parody) 


This video, based off of black and yellow, was made pretty well. The video was based on diamonds, but lacked most of the footage with diamonds. If there were more footage with diamonds used in it it could of made some more sense.

12 Days of Minecraft - Parody of 12 Days of Christmas by SGCBarbierian


This video uses the christmas music for 12 days of christmas. The guy singing did the parts really well and the music synched with the audio.

Craft Spice (Old Spice Minecraft Machinima Parody) 


The people who made this video are really funny. I am a fan of theirs. The video never really mentioned Old Spice, but they get your attention by using diamonds. The voice actor's youtube name is gassymexican and his voice fit the man trying to get your attention because his voice is strong, but not demanding.

This parody is very funny. One of the attacks in skyrim is the yell. This video really makes fun of that power because of its destructive nature.

CGR 232

The Ender Scrolls V: Minerim Trailer (Minecraft/Skyrim Machinima)


I like the way they combined both skyrim and minecraft to make an excelent trailer. The trailer of skyrim matches this one so they must of spent alot of time to make the buildings and stuff.

Legend of Zelda (April Fools' Day) Movie Trailer Premiere 


I like how they played people by using a popular game. I makes the joke so much better when more people hope for one thing then you take it away. What i must of cost to make this video with all the special effects, actors, location, and mechanics would really of had to set these people back, but I say it was worth it.

Mario: Game Over


This video has a few different meanings people can get out of it. The animation of him growing, going down the pipe, star power, and death are really good and follow the Mario world. One meaning I saw from this is the addiction problem.

CGR 232

DEATH BATTLE!: Goomba VS Koopa


This is a good commentary on who is the stronger creature. The animation of the fight scene was epic. Also, their information gathering on the 2 was very accurate.

Link Gets Hurt Again and Again and Again


This video was made to be really funny. This stuff happens alot in the game so its not too difficult to understand. The part with Naruto was very funny because its not ment to be there.

Link dies... IN STYLE!


This video was made to show a way that Link can die in style instead of the dumb ways. The entire clip could of had different moves to show instead of just 1.

CGR 232

Zelda: Heart for the Hero


This video was made to be funny. Since Link is not able to talk no one knows what exactly he wants. The ending where he took the clerks heart was weird and gross, but was still funny.

Link's nightmare


This video is funny also. The part with all the fairies would scare me because Navi would never shut up in the game and having all of those fairies would do me in. The funny part is the end with the smilly face guy.
