The Dollar Chase

Pretty funny. Very un-expected.

The graphics were just right for the movie. Just right length as well, it could easly have gotten out of hand and boring.

Keep up the good work.

Japan Chaos

Pretty much just Madness with dots. It was good. Not as good as Madness has become, but still good.

You really need the cam a little further back, you can't really see the BG so everywere feels like a box. Also since there's no interaction with the BG (cover, braking, etc).

Also towards the end the guy is pretty much a red blob and you kind of wonder how it's still alive.

But it's still a joy to watch. Good luck if you do another one. I'm sure it'll be great too!

Great movie. Done with enough effort to be enjoyable to watch but still make fun of how badly made "creature collecting anime X" is.

Voice acting was good. You get some spoofs that go to far into the bad voice thing and it just becomes annoying. You're is just right.

I love the shoe. Good luck with your next project!

The graphics were VERY uneven. Some bit looked really great (the shots of landscape were a joy to look at), but then other bits look like someone who's just found flash did them.

Very good sence of style. But brung down by the graphics in some parts. The chace was pretty boring. But there were some really great shots dotted around the movie.

The music was good. But the voice and sound effects were horrible.

Very hard to judge this one. Even though it's incredibly uneven, it flows well and even when you're taken out of the movie by the bad bits, you can jump right back in and be fine.

You've got some talent, just focus on making your films on the same level more.

So work on consistency. Got it.

Meant To Live

Very interesting. You really showed it well.

Good choice of music. I don't really like it, but it worked great for the movie as it's quite up beat but has that slightly "epic" feel for the chorus.
It maybe went on for a bit too long though as there wasn't anything new for the last quarter.

Animation was simple but smooth and enjoyable to watch. The effects were done brilliantly. I can see what you mean by them not exactly being how you see them, but it's probably as near as it can be in flash.

The triangle guy was kind of funny. But to me it took away more then it added since you had an extra thing to to have your mind on instead of getting wrapped up in the movie (Plus if the song did need triangle, the drummer could probably do it). All though with out it, it probably would have been a bit empty, so you're right to add something in.

Great movie. It would be good to try updating your person style and start advancing what you can do. It will open up a lot more potabilitys.

Fire and Ice

Very good movie. You can see the work and love that went into this.

The style makes it interesting to watch, the story is predictable but well told. The alien and it's ship are well thought out and it seems like there's a back story and reason.

The music does what it needs and adds a lot to the style and feel. The style of the music is spot on. It would be good if it went with the movie and heightened some scenes. But it still did what it needed.

It's kind of weird the way there are no people or cars when the alien is looking at how earth got like that. It's also very jarring when the music stops and the screen goes black. It seems like it's over but starts up again. It takes you out of it a little.

Over all: 7.5/10 - A movie that interesting to watch, has a good theme/point and really sucks you in. Good luck with future projects. I look forward to them!

See, this is why I love newgrounds. No matter how good you are there's always room for improvement.
Yes, I have had some people tell me that the movie should end when the chronoscope breaks.
There are actually several ways I could have chosen to order this movie, such as the alien being shot at and THEN looking back in time, or showing the war first, skip the hundreds of years, then have a shorter chronoscope scene. Or perhaps I could have told the whole thing backwards.
I think I made a good decision, but you're right, perhaps I shouldn't have let it be just black for so long after the chronoscope breaks.
Thanks for your review.

It's really hard to watch the bits with the blocky animation. Really, it looks like it's 8 fps sometimes. Also there are a few boring bits were it's just the potato bouncing for ages.

Other then that, pretty cute. Nice idea. Keep it up! Just try putting a bit more work into animation.

Not a Fairy Tale 01

"(I can never think what to put here)"

I can't work out whether you're taking the piss or not.
Ugly animation, boring story, awful voices.

The title screen was stylish. But there was no need for it at all. Except for the irony that the whole film is shorter then it.

I know the character were meant to be simple, but it comes off more as inexperienced rather then intentionally simple. Still, it's a very cohesive style for the whole movie.

It was pretty annoying to watch though. It was all just very cheesy and kind of a pain to watch.

I think the twist was very good though, since you kept to the style very well it comes as unexpected. I also have respect for you for the way you showed it. You showed exactly what needed to be showed. If you'd done any more or any less it would have ruined it, but you got it spot on. Plus it's a very good message.

Even though I personally didn't like it. It was done well and you illustrated your message well and with class. I tell you are going to do some really special movies if you keep at it. Nice work.

Author's Response:

thanks for your comments. I'm still quite inexperienced in flash, especially compared to many others on here. I'm just happy this one didn't get blammes.

The Orange

"(I can never think what to put here)"

submission: The Orange
date: April 7, 2006

I can see what you were going for, but it wasn't really pulled off. Got kind of boring since it was that one shot for most of the movie. Also, I knew the music so it didn't really help with the predicability problem.
Would have been a lot better had you added lots of cool cam angles for the rolling bit. It would make it more interesting and add a lot to the style you were going for.

Anyway, still pretty cute. You've got a good sence of humor and are able to tell a story and punch line well. All you need is a little more substance and you'll be makeing some great movies!
