Ockeroid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Do Not Feed The Alligator]

Nice

Congrats on the grand prize! I entered as well but didn't get anything.

The short is great. Nice animation style, silly joke. I hope the longer version with Nick goes well!

[The Lost Lake]

Keep them coming!

I saw "Well That Was Easy" back when you first submitted it. Cool to see more projects by you :)

While the graphics weren't great, it's got a fun story that feels told stronger than a lot of other flash here. Keep them coming!

thank you very much, will do!

[Three Wishes]

Haha, fun stuff.

Sounds like a fun 24 hour project :D Did you plan it or just decide "Let's do one... now!"?
Nice animation and pretty funny. Both the character's personalities were the best parts of the movie. The body language really added to it :)

I feel the ending could have been a better joke though. It was worth a little chuckle, but it could have been more.

You could have used a few wide shots to establish the scene more. If you added one at the beginning and when the car comes in are were I think it'd make the movie feel far more clear.

Fun stuff, would be nice to see another :)

[Pokemon Hunter]

Sweet fight movie

I loved the life bar idea. A cool stylish touch :)
The attacks all looked cool and there were some cool ideas in it. The cool camera angles and movements of the Pokemon really helped too.

Some crit:
The music felt a little lacking. At first I thought I'd accidentally turned the bass off, but then realize it was just the song. It's really missing that 'punch' it needs.

Some parts towards the beginning when there are loads of Pokemon fighting, it feels very crowded and is a little hard to follow. If the colours of the enemy Pokemon were changed to slightly duller then the main Pokemon would stand out more and it'd be much funner to follow.

Overall a cool flash! It's nice to see a more serious Pokemon movie done well :) 'grats on the daily feature and front page :D

u can try seeing if the remix my friend did is any better in my deviantart.

[Gorillaz - Murdoc's Gift]

nice

I liked the animation.
It'd be a lot better if you stuck with one or two songs rather than changing it so much. It breaks the mood and flow up a lot.
Fun tho :)

[Creeper test]

No content

Newgrounds is for finished work, not tests. There has to be some content to the work or there's no point in anyone watching it.

I'd defiantly suggest fixing the white screen problem for future too. You should try to make there be no obstacles to the viewers watching your film, otherwise they may stop watching before your film has even started.

The test it's self looked ok. Just try putting the idea in a proper movie?

[Press Start: Awakening]

It's a comedy, right?

The voices where decent quality. But there weren't really any jokes.
There were the odd one or two, but it felt more like you were trying to tell part of a story and added in a joke, rather than it being a comedy movie.

Also, making the graphics better would really improve the movie.

[The Invisibles]

Nice story

While the graphics weren't amazing, it's great to see more actual story telling on Newgrounds.

Looking forward to more!

[In Solitude]

...

The birthday scene was sad :(

It had a nice lonely feel. But at times things felt a little too ditatched from each other and it felt like it was lacking any development. Perhaps it'd be more interesting if more happened within each section? Not sure.

The style was kind'a nice. But some parts didn't work very well with being on paper. Like the bit where the guy is waiting for the phone and it's changing through night and day. It just felt a bit out of place since it'd be impossible to draw like that on paper.

The song was very nice! You really must put it on the audio portal and link it to this movie. I'm sure loads of people would love to download it (me included!)

[Bridging the Gap 1]

...

Fun movie. Good dialog and funny idea.

It would be much better if you added some reverb to the voices and a looping background audio of wind or something so it sounds like two people on top of a big hill rather than a person talking into a mic.

The body language was good and made it so the lack of faces didn't matter so much. But I still think it could potentially be better with faces. Though maybe it wouldn't have worked with this angle.

Part 2 wasn't very good. I felt to reminded of the similar scenes in Austin Powers, and it lost the funny parallels to relationships that part 1 had.
