DifferentName's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["The Fall"]

A waste of talent.

I'm sure you've heard it before, but i really think you're wasting your abilities on clock animations. And what you described of sharing art, and the spirit of the clock crew, sounds great, but is that really the spirit of the clock crew? I dont think so. I think you did a great job at describing the spirit of newgrounds and the portal (at it's best), but even the best clock animations, like this one, are ruined by having clocks in them. What would otherwise be a serious artistic animation, is instead just... what? The clocks are so juvenile and stupid, that showing them doing something serious can at best only make it humorous. But instead you just have the silly look of the clocks clashing with the serious mood of everything else in the animation, and to me it just makes it a disaster.

Wow

I love the drawings, and how i guess you either used another program, or scanned some stuff in. Looked like crayons or something at some parts. The animation kind of needs work, but this one wasn't really relying on a lot of that.

AloneInTheDark responds:

yes, i used photoshop. And my drawing tablet. Its amazing what u can do with photoshop. Cause trust me, im very noobish compared to other artists with that program

Zuchinni man saves the day

I love the graphics and style of that one pako. I especially like the cape as he flies.

[Ranting Ron: SG4 Trailer]

I love Strategy Guide

I've been checking the website every couple months or so to see if you've done anything yet. And it's about damn time! I cant really blame you though. I know flash takes forever, and I procrastinate too. I just hope people will be yelling at me to get my animations done like i they've probably been yelling at you about strategy guide.
And i like how the trailers are mostly unrelated to the episode. It's like i dont really know what to expect. It's a pretty unique idea.

[(old 04) "Igloo"]

It's all connected.

My first impression was just, why are so many different things submitted as one? I hate when people do that when it doesn't need to be done... But in this, it's connected in a really cool way. There's the little animation with the two characters, and then two eating games that are both related. Not sure i've seen anything like the monster game in flash before. I dont really like dress up games, and i'm not sure the tutorials fit in this at all, but it's still good.

animatorjones responds:

thank you for you review it was very thorough! the reason i added everything was too make it enjoyable for a wider range of viewers. obviously you saw no need for the tutorial section but you seemed to like the animation and the games. not the dress ups though. thank you for your great review! this shows me that one you are aware of things. and two that my goal to please a wider range is kind of working. thank you again.

[Avoiding Blamnation (HNT)]

Usual Tutorial

I took an animation class, and the very first assignment was to do frame by frame animation. I thought it was a great way to start. Then again, i guess most of the animations sucked. Anyway... there's some funny stuff in this, but it's not really an original idea to do a tutorial type thing, and they get really old. Also, the graphics aren't really much better than stick figures. Not that you couldn't do better, just doesn't look like you tried to do better.

JujubeLock responds:

At least I can say it wasn't text boxes and buttons, and I will try to make the next one more "flashy."

*Pun not intended

[Bomberman & Bin Laden]

Please translate it

I kind of wanted to vote 5 right when i saw that bin laden/bomberman graphic while it loaded... But, if you're going to post it on newgrounds, you have to translate it! and i wish you would, because this looks like it would be funny if i knew what they were saying.

[Robots in Ancient Greece!]

Fix the damn sound

The sound was crap through most of it. Blasting loud one moment with bad music so i turn it down, then his voice is too quiet so i have to turn it up, and then he's screaming, like as loud as you could get it to go, for a joke that wasn't even funny. I think the idea is a lot funnier than the movie is. ... The thing at the very end was possibly the best part, but why did you make us sit through that shitty song to see it?
