All-around excellence.
This is an perfect example of a well-rounded flash movie. It does not excel specifically in any area of flash work, but rather it shows excellent competency in every aspect.
.
First: the graphics. While the animation isn't eye-popping, the artwork is very clean and vivid. The caricatures are exceptional, and are probably the best element of this flash. Plus, the authors have VERY accurately reproduced Gary's infamous webcam dance.
.
Secondly, the sounds. The imitation of the judges isn't perfect, but it definetly captures the judges' intonations, accents, and speaking styles. The voices are also very clear and easy to understand.
.
Third, the style. The movie's concept is very trendy and current, managing to successfully combine and parody two major pop-culture hits. When a movie idea works this well, you wonder why it hasn't been thought of earlier.
.
Fourth, the interactivity. The movie interface is very clean, has the prerequisite preloader, and includes a much-appreciated progress bar; something missing from many longer flash movies. I'm also impressed by the moderately low file size - an indication of good compression skills and frugal use of media.
.
Finally, the all important humor. It wasn't laugh-out-loud funny, but I really found it amusing, mostly for the reasons listed above. The pacing was good; there wasn't any real dead spots in the movie. It set up its premise quickly, delivered the material, and then wrapped up without dragging on. Perhaps the fight between Paula and Simon felt a bit forced, but that's about it.
.
Is it the greatest flash ever? No, not really. But by covering all the bases, this makes for one solid movie. Flash authors take note - this is the way to make good movies.
