Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What is love-haddaway]

Hey not bad.

You are getting better at animating my friend. I think as long as you take your time and keep working on your submissions like you have been then you will be a very good animator some day. The drawing was simple. Not much too look at, but I understand since you are still a beginner at flash animations. Too bad you didn't give him a body and a basic background. Even if the body and background wasn't animated at least it would be more pleasing to the eyes of the viewers. The animation was synced very well with the music. So good job on that. That tells me that you will be able to successfully match voices with the mouth movements in future flash submissions. The audio, I love it. ^^ Haha, I really do love this song man. Anyway, keep working and good luck on your future submissions. I hope this passes.

yeah i really rushed it and im kicking myself for it but i want to see how good my mouth animation is

[Drug Pusher?!]

Lol

Now this is more like it. This flash was kind of funny. The only things I can recommend fixing is perhaps things like a couple pictures by making them better quality. You also could have fixed up the mouse a little bit and made the animation and the drawing of it better. Sometimes there wasn't enough time to read everything there so maybe you could have made it so the mouse that you animated followed your mouse and you could actually click on the buttons instead of it just being a movie. This way we could have had all of the time we needed to read things and when it got to the computer you could have hid small secret messages and had easter eggs in some of the files. Perhaps even a mini game or something like that like minesweeper in the files of the computer. With that said though I still like the concept of the flash that you had.

Thanks.

LOLOLOL

Hey weren't you going to make a series out of this? I remember the one time that you talked to me on AIM you said you were going to make a series out of Yoshi and his friends and that you were going to include me in it. =P What ever happened to that idea? I think it's a really good idea though! I wouldn't mind doing that, but what the hell does a Corky look like? Unless you could make me some custom Corky bobble head sprites I don't think I could come up with anything for me. This is a pretty good idea though and I like the basic idea behind it. Oh what I wouldn't do to be decent at flash. I would submit two flashes everyday for awhile probably. =P I loved the random explosion. That was pretty fucking random/epic. Nice job there.

Sispri responds:

Thank you soooo much for this review omgomgomg!!! I am going to individually respond to all your reviews now.

For starters, yeah the character was shaky and the gameplay laggy. But you gotta cut me some slack on the scripting of the .clipEvents. The music WAS indeed superior and Andrew W.K. is without doubt awesome. But I digress as this was a mere BETA test. In the future I hope to release even more unique stuff like this. Perhaps this time with a lovable character such as a talking pumpkin.

I really hope this game gets sponsored. I could really use some money for gas. Otherwise I'll have to get a job and there goes my right-side creativity. Baw well.
Thanks again though. I will continue to improve with my journey in the wonderful world of Flash.

[Trilogy ofthe Yellow Rose]

Not bad at all man.

Animation/Graphics - Well, I actually like sprite animations. =P A couple of your drawings weren't the best, but they weren't that bad. Things like the clouds could have been done much better, but this is the first episode of yours that had enough animations to fill the in between motions in. The introduction and the credits were great animation/graphics wise.

Story/Content - Not only one of your first submissions that was decent animation wise, but one of your first stories that wasn't that bad story wise. I think that the animation and story work together in most cases though. When you do have the small animations its just like pictures there with text talking back and forth with each other.

Audio - Nice selection of audio for the introduction, but why not continue it through the entire piece? Or perhaps at least change the audio up and use something different when the actual movie is playing. I also think that you could work on voice acting a little bit. That could get rid of some of that annoying text and it's much easier to listen to if you have sound effects and voices.

Overall - Has potential if a few things are worked out on it.

ZiggyZack99 responds:

OK.

[All Your Leet]

Beleive it or not. D:

This is one of your better animated movies. You really aren't that bad at making movies. If you would take your time I think you could create a pretty good flash someday. Therefor I can also make a review like I usually make reviews. =P

Animation/Graphics - Not the best, but I think all you had to do was work on the in between animation. Without it you didn't get any real animation. It's more like pictures that move here and there. Things like walking, mouth movement, etc.. Those are the things that make flashes good animation wise.

Story/Content - I liked the way the flash started off... then it got spammy towards the end. :( Believe it or not I have never saw the submission that you are tributing here. I will have to check it out to fully understand the humor in this submission. Well.. honestly to understand any of the humor. It's apparently famous here on newgrounds, but I haven't seen a lot of famous flashes.

Audio - The voices were alright, but needed to be better. These would be so much better with voice actors instead of those mechanical voices that you use. I can see where the pictures were going by and why the voices would be alright there though.

Overall - Starts off good and then gets spammy. Needed work on the in between animations such as walking and mouth movements and also needs voice actors instead of those other voices.

[{PS} IT's NOT spam U faG!]

Why am I reviewing this? =P

Well I'm going to review this because obviously you aren't the real Point Seclusion. You know why? Because this was so much better than any of their stuff that I have ever seen. The play button itself was so much better than any of their stuff. The menu that you created was so much better than any of their stuff. I think you guys could put them out of business because your work is so much better in every way. I rather look at pictures of penguins than I would read a bunch of "crazy laws". I know I'm coed on one or two of their flashes, but I had nothing to do with them and I'm not a part of their club. They were just flashes that won awards and we made some sort of trade off. Anyway, this is far from spam when you compare it to the real point seclusion flashes.

xPointSeclusionx responds:

Yeah, it's pretty weird that even through they have those 1000+ members, noone from them can do anything half-decent.

Thanks for a great review

[SW - I am your Mother]

wtf what that >.<

Animation/Graphics - That was some of the most random shit ever man. The drawings were completely random. The animation of the blood was pretty weird. O.o It looked like a cloud of red coming out of the people instead of blood, which really isn't a cloud. =P It's more of a liquid. ;) Well completely rough and it didn't really run smoothly at all. It seemed that in between things there wasn't a lot of animation or anything like that. Just.. weird.

Story/Content - That was some of the most random shit ever man. Parts of it were kind of funny. I think the reason that it was so hard to follow story line wise wasn't only because it didn't look like it was suppose to have a story, but it also didn't have the animation in between to really fill people in on what was going on. Lol at you taking pictures from random flashes to use in your movie too.

Audio - There was audio in only one spot. >.< And it was so random because there wasn't audio in any other spot of the movie. Of course sound effects, music, and voices would have made the flash a lot better.

Overall - That was some random shit man.

[Koopa shell of doom]

Short and to the point.

Animation/Graphics - Very smooth. You have a way of making simple sprites look very good. I'm sure that has something to do with how you don't rush your submissions and you take your time.

Story/Content - Not bad at all. It was a quick simple scene. It really didn't make me laugh that much, but I think that was because it was just a bit predictable. It's like that's exactly what I knew was going to happen when looking at the title and putting two and two together. Still a good short submission that was fun to watch.

Audio - The audio was synced very well and went well with the animation. Good Mario music, sound effects, and that "waiting" song that you had on the 5 hours later text.

Overall - <3 ;)

ThePigeonMaster responds:

I really like your detailed reviews, it gives me all the things that I need to make myself better at animating :D

Thanks <3

[The Stickwinner]

That was also gay, but this would have potential..

If you wanted to try. =P

Animation/Graphics - You included more actual animation this time around, but the animation was very slow. Like when he flipped the gun in the beginning and it took forever to actually flip in the air. If it was suppose to be slow motion you never gave use any clues that it was like sound effects or a blurred effect or anything. It needs more things like walking and maybe a fight scene. Something like the Stickwinner shooting the gun at the other sticks would help too. Now the drawings also need work even if it is just stickmen.

Story/Content - Really it's not a bad story at all, but the content and the way that you show it make the story bad. Of course it's a great jump from the trailer that you made. I think the story would naturally become better when things like the animation and audio are fixed.

Audio - Um, you were messing up the voices on perhaps I found out later in the flash, but still you couldn't understand any of them. Some were so slow and drawn out that you couldn't tell what he was saying and some were so fast that you couldn't tell what he was saying. Also the voice didn't always sync up with the animation of the mouse. So yes, these things need to be worked on even though for some reason you did the voices on purpose. =P

Overall - This would be a good flash if you actually worked on it and tried hard. It has the potential.

ZiggyZack99 responds:

Sad...

[The Stickwinner Trailer]

That was.. pretty gay my friend. >.<

Animation/Graphics - Ah, not good lol. The animation was really rough and skippy and laggy and all of that bad stuff. D: Also, it wasn't drawn that good even for stickmen. :( Oh well, this was one of your earlier pieces of work so I will give you some mercy points here. ;)

Story/Content - I guess I couldn't get into the story of it too much because.. well because of the animation, but I do hope that the next one turned out to be good. At least I hope the next one turned out to be better then this one did, but I guess I will figure that out as I review it in the near future.

Audio - Alright music... could have used better sound effects and everything. Not much more to say about the audio other than that.

Overall - A trailer it may be, but it doesn't really get the people too interested in the upcoming movie does it? At least it didn't get me that interested. :( Ah, who am I kidding. I love sticks. :D

ZiggyZack99 responds:

The stuff screwed up... :(
