DifferentName's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tranquility]

Perspective...

What's with the perspective? Did you intend on screwing it up by making the things closer smaller than the things in back? Just makes it look weird. And i dont really think "tranquility" fits. it's more like a bizarre alien world, really. Creepy music... while it's nice to make the file size smaller by using such a short loop, it gets way to repetitive for this. I guess it can be hard to make a good background and atmosphere, but this one could use some improvement since that's all it is. That kind of background would probably be fine with some other stuff going on in another flash though.

Elfer responds:

1) Yes, I did want the perspective to be messed up like that. It was intentional.

2) I didn't want a huge file size, and the music doesn't get the right sound if it's too low quality. As long as it loops smoothly enough for the purpose (Which it does), I think it's fine (especially with this song).

3) What's so unrelaxing about a weird alien world? In any case, I think this music is more mellow than creepy.

[The Color Red: Redone]

But...blue and yellow make green.

I dont get it. And you didn't do much at all to improve it. It was all very odd... blue and yellow turning into red, which then went through a factory and then escaped with a torch in his hand, and flew out into space? Am i getting this correctly? Not even the written description of it makes a whole lot of sense. The mood is a nice change from the crappy stick fights, but that's almost all it's got going for it.

SeizureDog responds:

You're righ, I didn't do much. But the difference between the old score and the new score are by about two points. That tells you that it doesn't take a lot of changing to make somthing look better. As for the blue and yellow make green...hey, I didn't come up with that.

Finish gradeschool, and maybe then you'll understand even a frame of it.

[For What little it matter]

Not bad.

I like that song, so that made it better for me. Otherwise i might have gotten bored, but for that kind of story i think you pulled it off well. And it made me think, which is good... that i'd like to have a girlfriend and all that. One thing though... I wish you'd get better at drawing and animating your flash. In some ways it's an interesting stylized thing, like with the square eyes, but a lot of it just needs improvement. Of course, it's a lot better than so much of the stuff on newgrounds. I just like your style and some of your ideas, and want to see you get better.

Dark-Boy responds:

Thanks alot man.

[Good Idea, Bad Idea Ep 1.]

How?

How did you get the clock to show accurate time? Watch it at a different time of day, the flash shows a different time for the clock. It's the exact time as my computers clock... Anyway, the bad ideas were all very predictable, so they weren't that funny. Also, i just hate clocks. But hey, at least you've stopped doing stickfigures.

Christian88gm responds:

That was my goal. To see how well i could cope without sticks and so far im doing allot better than i would with sticks :P

[The Swordsman 3]

i enjoyed it

That's prett cool for not having a lot of drawings. I'm trying to figure that out myself. How to get the right combination of drawings and tweening. Cause you can do a lot with drawing a few poses and then just making some fast blurs and tweens between them. I'd like it more with a little more motion though, and i'd also like it if the different swordsman looked a little different. Maybe just different colors if you dont want to do all the work of doing a new drawing. The disappearing was cool, but hard to keep track of who's who when they look the same. Keep 'em coming. I hope to see some improvement in the series, but i also like what you've got now.

wallpaperman responds:

wow, you're "ninja fight" is cool man, thats something like i'd do if i had the skill, except more "magic" type stuff. it's hard to explain this without making my movie sound gay and magicky, in old japan with samurais and stuff you've heard of all the magic type stuff, and dissapearing is just one example, I started to make them use DBZ energy beams but it looked complete shit.

[Imaginashit :.: Volume 1]

Fix the damn sound!

Sure, you had a lot of sounds, which is good... But it was randomly going back and forth between way too loud and way too quiet, that i almost would rather turn the sound off. There were a few good parts to this, but there was just too much stupid crap.

Ryanitto responds:

Well the idea was to throw it all together while not expecting anything. If it's not your type of humor, fine... But the sound was intentional. We made it loud by doubling up the tracks with sound on purpose, it's not like we had no idea. I pay attention to detail, believe it or not, and I wanted some of it to be shitty sounding/looking for comedic effect.

Volume 2 will contain 'bout 40% less cheap looking graphics, but as for the other thousands out there who watched and agree that the whole thing is hilarious, I'll decide how it goes.

There's nothing to fix.

[anime tut #3]

You need to do better

Seems weird, someone who doesn't seem able to draw that well, telling people how to draw. Though, some of the stuff at the end does look pretty good! Especially the drawing done by hand. You just need to improve doing the people in flash. Guess the best thing is that maybe those people that do nothing but stick figures can watch and learn a thing or two.

skull-basher responds:

uh thanks...I guess..I didnt put much quality into this i admit..but watch my other submissions.

[NG Time Trial IV Group B]

Review for the cookies

The cookies were the best. The first was alright, but that cookie one was just great. Better than those lame commercials they've been having on tv with the giant talking claymation cookies. I predicted the end once they started stacking, with the title betrayal, but the delivery of it was still great.

J-Smooth responds:

hAH thanks differentName i was scared I wasn't gonna pull off the joke well since 72 hours was kind of a rush. But I guess most of you got it and Im very happy you liked it.

[Chikoo Ep1]

Predictable

As soon as that... thing showed up i knew it would fight dirty. You decided fighting dirty meant killing the rest. The animation and sound and everything was pretty good, but i hated the style, and was basically just bored with it.

antradun responds:

Yeah, this is my first time. It's not a
sin to kill as long as it's happen in a cartoon's world. They got no right to live without the author's permission, u know? :)

You'll see the different attitude and action for the next episode, which will be longer and better plot than the first episode. Anyway, thankz for the support.

[Shadowrun: Btp]

Cool idea.

I love shadowrun and that was kind of a cool idea, but it was so slow and i cant really understand a lot of the computer voices (subtitles would help).

Commanderswat responds:

Yeah, my bro was telling me to put subtitles just before I posted this but I got to get some time before I can do those fixes. Btw, thanks for tip, I'll try to fix the effects to make it run faster when I get some time.
