But also very intelligently put together and nicely animated. The artwork was hot. I loved how you drew LeekClock. Fived and faved yet again.

I like what you did at the end. The intro screen is hot too!
Oh and the actual animation, but you knew that.

Clever preloader! Impressive use of sound! Nice direction!
I also like your art style... you show great potential. I'd love to see you hone your frame by frame animation. Some of it was nice, and some of it needs practice (like the walk/run cycle).
Looking forward to your next flash...

Argh, running: One foot is lifted up while the other is going to the ground. I'm not good at doing more than one thing simultaneously at both drawing and real life.^^
Also fun fact: Tom would originally give B to StrawberryClock at the end instead of just waving his hand, but I thought it might get confusing with the B cursor.

I really dug these two snippets, but you should have submitted them separately. By putting them together you are lowering the overall impact.
Another criticism would be towards your attitude. This apologetic attitude of "i'm sorry if you don't like it, it was the best i could do", is a limp dick attitude compared to the Clock Crew's boner-in-the-ear persona.
If you consider the nature of your own animation - it derives humour from disappointing the expectations of the viewer. By tricking him, and by making him doubt himself. To then pander to the viewer's needs by explaining to him the context of the film, and giving him personal pointers on how to read the film, and to apologise to him, sends out a confused message. And it dampens the impact of your animation.
That said, I still appreciated what you did with the first clip. You created a cool atmosphere and achieved your goal in elevating the status of B in the perception of the viewer - making the viewer question his own views ("what do they see in this thing?") - and therefore making a fool of the viewer when the cloth is pulled at the end.
And the second clip was nicely animated. Although the set-up to the ending wasn't as creative as the first clip.
I'm looking forward to your next clock movies!

It's clear that this was my first Clock Crew movie: back then, I did not understand the Crew's deeper facets. To my own credit, though, I didn't really say "this was the best I could do" so much as "this is what I got done".
Both movies are currently in production and will hopefully be completed soon, barring any oppressive schoolwork. I can't wait to see them done.
Incidentally, in the second clip, StrawberryClock is supposed to sneak up behind me, giggle, and get me with a taser. I just didn't have time to animate him, so my animation seems just a little out of place. :p
