ShirkDeio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gravity Collab]

Cool

Glad you liked my music enough to use it for the menu! Good flash :)

stickid responds:

I can honestly say that I like your song a lot!
I listened to it over and over and over again while making it, I seriously did.

Your song has a cool, smooth feel to it. I love it.

[Cardboard City]

Nice

When I first saw the thread, I thought "MorrowDays has lost it." But it turned out amazing. The texture worked perfectly. I think it would be great to make a series (i.e. start a storyline) about Cardboard City.

Good job, sorry I didn't join it!

MorrowDays responds:

haha, I have lost it! :)

a series could be fun.

[The FLF Collab]

Lord-of-the-Crayons was the best

Nice job, it was smooth. Lord-of-the-Crayons made his part look incredible, smooth, AND funny.

I would've rated higher except for several instances of unnecessary adult content >_>

doomshock responds:

i agree, it was a great part
sorry you dont like adult stuff :(

[nymph in love with tree]

Nice idea, good art

The idea was decent, and the art was nice. While I don't want to sound negative in this review because I liked the movie, I would like to give some advice.

The animation was a bit choppy--especially the squirrel. I know it can be hard to animate little woodland creatures, but it would be nice for that to be smoother.

Some of the things were redundant, as has been said before, such as the offering food to the tree. It was funny the first time, now make her do something else ;)

Finally, I would suggest a menu or at least a nice-looking ending animation (you have a white screen with credits scribbled on there). A nice ending page would make this animation all the better.

Again, I really liked this animation, but there are some things to consider when you animate your next Flash!

ningaJanena responds:

thanks! yeah... i agree with everything you've said.

time is a killer when you have to pump out a project for a class deadline smoothing frames get sacrificed and same with scenes. and I didn't write what the nymph was going to be doing, I just animated it, the director wanted her to be eating popcorn with the tree and wanted to be eating take out with it in another scene, so that's what I animated.

but thanks for your input I really appreciate it :)

[Alex Seryoua: Episode I]

Excellent art, okay animation

The graphics were great, and the voices were also very good. The animation, however, wasn't that good (walking, lip syncing, shooting things out of her arm, etc), and the shakey camara effect didn't work quite right--it wasn't pulled off correctly.

So, good work on the drawings, now you just need to work on your animation movements and lip syncing ;)

danomano65 responds:

thanks for being positive and negative without being a fucking prick. i'll see what i can do.

[Flash music vid 4(FMV4)]

It's alright :D

It was a decent attempt, and a good concept, but it didn't have good energy--it wasn't interesting, if you get what I'm saying.

For some constructive criticism, I'd say you should work on better-quality effects and such. For the most part, it seemed "scribbly." But, I am glad you liked my song and put it into a video--that's a first for me :D

Anyways, try taking some tutorials on effects for FMV5, check http://www.flashkit.com/ and http://www.flashperfection.com/ for some good tuts.

Good luck!

zone12 responds:

thanks

[Stan and Joe Shorts 1]

Nice

Nice movie. Here are some improvements that could be made:

- Parts of the animation were a bit sloppy
- You could hear "click" at the end of people talking
- You could hear a puff of air at the beginning of people talking

Regardless, they're funny. Is this going to become a series?

adman responds:

- I got a bit lazy towards the end..
- The VA is sloppy but its hard to get good quality with a poor mic costing 5 pound :P

[Newgrounds Outro]

Honestly, it stinks...

I can see the effort you put into it--you found some sounds and did a couple of tweens. But it is not catchy--it is, to be painfully honest, quite boring to watch. It's slow, and I wouldn't personally put it in my Flash submissions.

Two other things. First, why would you need an outro? Secondly, if this is meant to be an outro for anyone to use, you should've posted a download link in the description.

Anyways, I hope you can improve this in the future. Good luck.

plant-eating-cat responds:

you need a outro to finish a movie , im not saying its perfect but its not been done before , so atleast give me praise for the idea

[NG Profehshinal Advert]

Funny

It's really funny, I liked it :D

Human Hominid and Mom 'n Me lol...

adman responds:

Shame there not real games eh ;)

[Baa! We're Lambs]

Good Concept

Great song--as soon as I saw the name of the flash I knew it was ApologetiX.

Anyways. Good concept of the flash, good preloader. The graphics were pretty good too. What you need is diversity. All the sheep are exactly the same (give or take a size or two). Try making different lambs.

The lambs in the band was an okay idea, but it was not executed well, IMO. The sheep--er, lambs--needed to be more than just the same sheep pasted behind different instruments--they needed to have their own individual graphics suited to each instrument (eg fingers for the guitar lamb, etc.)

All in all, good ideas, good song, good flash. Some extra work couldn't been useful in it, but not bad at all, just put in the extra effort in your next flash. 6/10, 3/5.

TheMentalInstitute responds:

Awesome to meet another ApologetiX fan here :) Good idea about the fingers and stuff, I sort of made this in a hurry and didn't really think of some of that stuff. Thanks for the helpful review.
