ShirkDeio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black And White Collab 5!]

Good job

Good collab. I only had two problems with it.

First, I had to click "play" three times. I prefer to click it only once.

Second, there was quite a bit of grey in the collab. I know that at some points, it's necessary, but I thought there was too much grey.

Otherwise, excellent, good job!

[:the Composer:]

Great

Excellent animation. One again, you have graced Newgrounds with an exceptional piece of art.

When "the Composer" walked out of his last show, I was about to throw a fit about the ending--until I saw the real ending--incredible, inspired, and touching.

[NG: A BBS Story [Teaser]]

9/10

I was going to give it 10/10 because of how hilarious it is, but there is one thing I would like changed if and when this becomes a series.

The people look naked.

That's it. I just want at least a different color for their bodies--having them the same as the heads makes everyone look naked >_>

[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.

[- My Demon and I -]

Excellent

Great animation! I totally didn't expect the ending. You definitely need to make a sequel to it (the only thing I didn't like was that this was too short!).

Graphics were excellent. They were well drawn, and portrayed the characters well.

Style was equally excellent, surprise ending and all.

There wasn't any violence in this one, but I sense that if there is going to be a sequel, it will have some violence.

No interactivity. But who cares.

No humor, really. That was obviously not the author's intent.

Overall, great flash. I'll be looking forward to a possible sequel!

[Megaman: Seven Doors]

Pretty Good

Pretty good movie. It used sprites, yet it retained a unique feel to it, unlike many people who use sprites in their animations. Even though the sprites were well-integrated into a flash movie, you didn't make them yourself, so I'm giving the graphics a 6.

The style was excellent. The animation was smooth, and worked well.

Sound was good, the music went well with the music. I didn't like the short part of the movie when there was no sound at all, though.

There was a little violence, but it wasn't enough. The fight with the blooper wasn't really a fight, it was more of a... dance?

There was no interactivity (that I could see, at least)

There was a good bit of humor in it, I laughed out loud (though that probably isn't saying too much). The movie wasn't engulfed in humor, though, which was good.

Overall, good job. Keep improving your animating, and try drawing your own people some time (I'm not one to talk, I haven't been able to do that yet). Also, try using sound effects (like you didn't during the part with no sound).

Chrome-Demon responds:

Thank you very much! ^_^

[Virus Alert - "Weird Al"]

Great Video!

It was very funny, worth watching again.

Graphics were very good, clean, and were well-synched with the music.

The style was very good--the movie flowed well and all the scenes went really well with the song.

Sound was great--Weird Al gets me every time =p

There wasn't really too much violence, but it had a few scenes in which the viruses were pretty violent.

It was quite funny. The randomness of everything went with the music perfectly, though I still don't understand the pic of the goat in the middle of it.

Anyways, great job, keep up the good work!

[University test*Finished*]

Needs more...

The idea of the movie is a good one. But the idea was not portrayed well.

The graphics were lacking. I know they can be hard to do, but spending more than 2 and a half hours on a flash movie really helps. It was choppy, and not everything looked like it should've (eg. when he ran, it looked like he was being shot or something)

The style was okay, but many scenes and such were overused, such as the wake-up scene, and diving from and into buildings. The text shouldn't have been just sitting on the background--it was hard to read. Try making thought bubbles, or talking bubbles, like in comics.

The sound was fine, but the music wasn't done by the end of the video, and it abruptly stopped.

There wasn't really anything too funny, though some of the dialogue between the guy and the teacher was slightly funny.

There wasn't anything wrong with the thought, but the execution of the idea needed some work. I'm giving a 3/10 overall--this submission needs some polishing, mostly on graphics and style, but also in the ending of the music.
