5SS-PsychoWiLL's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG Time Capsule!]

I'd reccomend this for the front page!

This is the kind of sideshow thing you'd see on a website that shows "Most Popular", or "Most Recent". Doesn't Newgrounds already have something like that? It does; and it loads a lot faster!
I guess the music is a nice touch, and the... oh wait, you didn't take time to add transitions.
Since you actually intend to do more: Decrease file-size. Add transitions. Make the frame size smaller, and one size; crop and don't resize your images. Add interaction: You can get tutorials on making the film move forward/back/play by button-click, or by mouse position; you should also have a music mute button.
IMHO: you should redo this, delete this one, and You'll get a much more positive response, because this has no redeeming qualities.

wow....essay?

[Sari and her Bear at 5:30]

Erg, try again...

Where do I start?
It felt kind of frustrating... the story didn't make any sense.

1. Why was Sari up so early in the morning?
2. If Sari is so bent on waking the others, then why does she run away?
3. How did it take almost a half hour to jump out her window, and get into 'Others' room?
4. Daylight saving time typically pushes the time forward ONE hour, so it should have been approx 6:37 am, on that guy's clock.
5. Although I HAVE seen worse run cycles, that definitely needs work. If you want help, there's plenty of tips online, or I'll be glad to help.
6. The part where Sari appears on the hanging lamp is confusing, and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, unless that 'Other' guy has no peripheral vision, he should be able to see Her, unless he was staring directly at the floor.
7. This is the worst: Sari falls through the floor (very easily, I might add) and back into her own room. However, her room was in the room ABOVE this room. That doesn't make any sense!
8. I think you could improve the sound quality. It's way too fuzzy.
9. The blur feature was a bit overused. I think too many animators are overusing it, nowadays...
10. The lip syncing could use some more mouth shapes, but the simple style is fine, and the timing was pretty good, so I'm not complaining!

I hope in the next flash you produce, you take more consideration into the story, and spend more time on animation.

Pahgawk responds:

Gee, thanks for the review. Seriously, it's not everyday that I get one that's actually helpful. I just noticed the fact that she falls through the floor into her room after going DOWN from her room originally... well, I'll definately use your tips for next time.

[Stick Armada V]

Not Very... funny?

Next time, try something more... Original. The Newgrounds Tank Guy isn't very original, and he's especially very unexciting just sitting in the tank doing nothing. Yawwwwn.

mikko-dude responds:

Funny? You were expecting FUNNY?
The newgrounds was put to show where this movie should be seen!
I never claimed this movie to be completely original!

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

Filmation, look out!

I'm sure a series like this has been in production for years, but never got released for... whatever reason.
It happens to ALL Super Heroes! There were so many little jokes in the Flash, I had to watch it a couple times. I really loved how the end credits looked like Title credits for an average Saturday Morning Cartoon show!

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

AfterEffects

After Effects is just impossible to use. Well, you succeeded in making an equally annoying sequel. Good job

[TakeTwo - Beginning]

Wiki on tape -- I mean flash!

This is stuff you can just read on Wikipedia. It might be interesting, if you had some form of interesting concept to show it off. Unfortunately, the entire movie was just a flat, static character with a bobbing head; which, I may add, doesn't even sync with the dialogue.
The slideshow in the background just distracts from the dialogue.
Well done with the research,however, and though I'm not a fan of the art style, it isn't badly done.
This flash and future flashes in this series will be boring for anyone who has knowledge about VG history, or doesn't want to listen to a block talk.

[AMIG0]

Hmm

The animation was pretty good, but it just drove on and on...
There are several parts that should have been cut, because it was beginning to get boring in several parts.
Rethink your structure, because the repetition is way too overused.

[Zelda Promo]

Meh.

Well, I love the commercial, and you did a pretty good job recreating it in flash, but I think you should link it to either a youtube video, or add the audio you used, so people don't get confused and think it's an original production.

[Hungry Bear]

Meh.

With TB, aren't you supposed to draw most of the graphics externally? I could be wrong.

Luckyapple responds:

I think you can, but you don't need to. besides, I don't own any other animation software (besides pivot, Flash is expensive!), so I don't think that I'll be bothering with that feature just yet. Thanks for reviewing anyways!

[Oxmar Episode 1]

Great stuff!

The idea is fresh and the art is too. Well done.
I'm glad to hear Oxmar has a new job in each episode, this makes it like some kind of animated short, which there are much to few of these days!

Anyhow: Keep up the good work!
