This is by a large margin my new favourite flash on Newgrounds. I love the simplicity, the art and the choice of music.
When the little man started running along those steps and the music started, I knew it was going to be a lovely film. One of my favourite parts was when the man was running along that street of houses, I noticed the attention to detail when you made the closer houses fly by quicker. It also made me think about the little abstract city in which the man lives.
My absolute favourite was when the man was falling through the sky and to my relief, he catches an umbrella. There is superb timing with the music in the way that it changes from a faster pace to a slow piano tune. It completely changes the mood. I loved the bit with the staircase, mainly becasue you actually spent the time cutting out the pieces in between the banisters. The bit at the end was something I loved as well. The why in which the man just sailed away on that ornament, it's nice and cute.
All in all, a fantastic watch 10/10

In that case I think we need to make a journey film like this together some time!

You have some mad skills and I will look forward to seeing them in future flash presentations. I really like the progressively imaginative and clever level designs. I would have given you a 10 but I think that the frame rate should be higher for the optimum viewing experience.

This sort of thing as been submitted billions of times and if you're going to submit one yourself you should have a least put in unique stuff. All the stuff in this flash plus much more can be found on the FAQ page anyway. Also, the presentation needs work, the line design isn't working for me. You should set it out in the style of the NG webpage design.
Also, there is at least one mistake I've found. On the awards section you've stated that you can get the review crew pick award if there is a bid differential between flash and review scores. This isn't true, you get review crew pick for having the highest review score of that week, simple as that.

Well, it's fair enough making a movie about the Newgrounds under judgement system, but the whole 'stages' thing you've got going on there is obviously copied from 'Under Judgement'. Anyway, alright movie, not so original.
Author's Response:
Stages? :( I tried to be pretty original! I didn't see any "staages" in under judgement? :(

Bugs:
-When you press the 'artists' button on the main menu, it just goes to the start
-By the end, there were about 5 copies of the same song playing
-The movie would pften jump around showing unfinished frames
Advice:
-maybe look at some of the tutorials on Newgrounds
-when you've got more experience, maybe do another collab.
good luck.

Superb timing in this one, it's also very funny and true. I really think that you should have made this submission the 400th rather than that other fake one, as this one looks like theres actually been effort put into it. Anyway, good job.

When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be a tut aimed at instructing people how to blam stuff, it's a good job it isn't because I don't think you could write that much.
Anyway, it was pretty well put together, the voices weren't crackly and the text tweens were in synch and smooth. One thing you could do is add more Newgrounds webpage pics in the background instead of just a black screen, it would make it more interesting. I would also advise you to call this tut, 'Blam Tutorial Vol 1' so that when you make the rest you can make them as different volumes.

"Cow's go moo moo", that was epic, good show! Also, good dance move animations, although it would be nice if the movie was longer.

I always love watching these 'how to' Newgrounds submissions, they're so educational! Anyway, it was very funny and also very true, I loved that Half-Life 2 sketch and you've got a valid point, Gordan never does say anything, ever!
I was hoping for there to be more than 2 tips, but the ones you had were good enough. It looks like you're going to beat the Awesome Compilation 5 to the daily Feature, great job.
