Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alucard vs Richter: SOTN - Rhapsody of Ruin]

Really good.

Animation/Graphics - As you may remember from my last review I really do enjoy sprite animations so of course I enjoyed the graphics and everything. The animation was also very smooth so well done.

Story/Content - The story may be used a lot, but I think you presented it in a pretty good way. I enjoyed the fighting scenes and I think that you mixed it up enough so it wasn't too boring for the audience.

Audio - Sound effects, music and voices were done good in this flash. Great job all around.

Overall - Pretty good. I apologize for the lack of detail in the review, but I'm being rushed as I have to complete these reviews while I have the time.

Any constructive review is welcome, long or short - And thank you for yours ^^

Im glad people have enjoyed this, I really am. I've poured over some of the work supplied on NG by other users (sprite fights and such) and there is so much on this site that outshines mine by miles. But as long as people enjoy this, I couldn't ask for more.

Thank you!

[Where the Missing Sock Go]

Pretty good.

First off sorry for the short review. I'm doing this on a schedule and they have to be done soon. :P

Animation/Graphics - The graphics weren't the best. Not terrible, but not the best. I do think they could be worked on a little bit. The animation though was done very well. Good job on that.

Story/Content - The concept was really good. Perhaps just a little simple, but there isn't anything wrong with simple. Some pretty good humor all around.

Audio - The music that you used was a great choice and sounded very good with the animation. Perhaps the transition of the audio could have been a little better, but not too bad.

Overall - Not too bad. An enjoyable flash. I wish I could have more time to go into depth with my review, but sadly I don't have the time.

Even though your review is short it's still helpful. Thanks for the review!

[Elevator Bird]

Haha, completely random.

Animation/Graphics - Hmm, the black and white style was alright, but because you had color in some spots and none in other parts it gave it a bit of an unfinished feeling. A decent style, but probably not the best. The animation could have been a bit better itself. Even the animation gave me the feeling that it was a bit unfinished. I think the biggest part that could have been worked on in the animation was the part in the elevator where the man was touching the bird, I think it would have been better if he was reaching for the bird instead of his arm randomly growing while he stood in the same spot.

Story/Content - Completely random. I didn't think it was going to be too good when it started off, but when he touched the bird and it fell over really fast, dying, I thought it was funny as hell. Probably because it was completely random and I didn't see it coming at all. It actually made me laugh out loud. Being unpredictable is a great addition to any flash animation. The rest of the jokes/flash was alright, but really didn't make me laugh or anything like that.

Audio - Decent sound effects and everything like that. Not much else to comment about. Perhaps adding something like voices could have made it a little bit better. The only part that I would have added voices would be at the very end. Just something simple like the guy saying something along the lines of, "Oh shit.." Anything like that would have probably been pretty good.

Overall - The funny part that I talked about before made the submission for me. The style needs a little bit of work in my opinion, but not too bad.

[Plan B - Bizzness Woman]

Not that bad.

Animation/Graphics - Not bad at all. A bit better than what you usually put out there. I liked the zoom ins and outs that you used here. I don't know how to do them myself actually. I would like to do them in a flash project that I'm working on so how do you do the zooms like you do? The only real problems with the animation is that sometimes it would be faster in some parts than others, but that wasn't too much of a problem. The other problem would be the mouth animations. I've practiced with making mouths so I know how hard it it myself, but a little work on the mouth animation would make this look much better.

Story/Content - I'm not going to check out the original movie video just because I don't have the time or the internet connection to do it, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you made a decent tribute to it. To be honest I couldn't really follow what was going on so maybe you could add a part in your author comments about what is going on or just putting the lyrics themselves so I had something to read along with for better understanding. This was much longer than most of your submissions and did have a story unlike most of your submissions so that's where you got the extra couple of points from me since I'm usually giving you 6's.

Audio - Not really my type of music. Is this what you kids are listening to nowadays? :( Ha, well like I mentioned before the mouths could have been synced with the audio just a little bit better and the quality of the audio could have been a little bit better, but it does sound like you compressed the audio, which I appreciate because of the low file size I could actually review it.

Overall - Just a couple of things could have been cleaned up, but probably a little bit better than most of your stuff.

Thanks Corks! Always happy to read your reviews!

Animation : Basically it's called V-Cam. It's basically a square that works like a camera. I''ll send you mine when you want it! Thanks! Yeah, if I would have tried lip-syncing it would have taken me an extra week, it's pretty hard!

Story : Well, the flash is basically the exactly the same as the video but of course the video is way better! I know it was long but honestly it only took one days work to do :) (She's going home from work in a dodgy area)

Audio : Yeah, glad you noticed the file size! Heheh, he's my favourite rapper (rap is not my fav music though, I'm not a gangsta ;) ) and I'm doing flashes for all his songs. He's really under-rated. So stay tuned (I've always wanted to say that) as there is much more to come!

Again, thanks corks!

[Frosty the...]

Not too bad.

Animation/Graphics - At first I was going to comment a little on your drawings here, but after reading your author comments I see that they were suppose to be the way they were because you were making it for a collab. I wouldn't mind seeing the same flash or a similar flash done in smoother drawings. The animation itself was pretty smooth though so no real complaints there.

Story/Content - A nice little parody flash here. Short and too the point. Too bad it was too long for the collab because I'm sure it would have been a great contribution to it. The jokes were ok, they didn't really make me laugh and I didn't find the flash all too humorous, but the little eggnog part at the end make me chuckle a little bit.

Audio - The voices were done very well and they were well synced with the animation of the mouths. I do think that you could have used a better sound effect for the walking though. It didn't really sound like he was walking on snow or ice. It didn't even sound like he was walking on anything for that matter. Perhaps something that sounds a little bit more crunchy would have worked better like we was walking on snow.

Overall - A nice short flash parody. Could have used some better sound effects, but for the most part was done well.

PostTimeskipSam responds:

Thank you very much sir for the review. Looking back it would have been better like you said if I used better sound effects, but I am still glad you enjoyed the animation. Thanks again for the review.

[Cpt Falcon Checkup]

Lol

Animation/Graphics - Very well drawn and very well animated. Drawings were pretty good and the animation ran smoothly.

Story/Content - Ha, it's just one of those movies... where you know you know exactly what's going to happen and yet it still surprises you and makes you laugh when it does happen. Actually made me laugh out loud and everything when I watched this submission. It was short, but adding any length to it might even take away from it a little bit. Great quality and a small loading file, which makes me happy because I'm on Xmas break and only have dial up so the smaller the file the better for me.

Audio - Everything was good here. The voices were well done and the sound effects were well done. You did a good job syncing them up with the animation itself.

Overall - A pretty funny submission with great quality. Keep up the good work. 5'd

Zombie-Pimp responds:

lol what an awesome review. Thanks man

[Killin' the Grade]

Lmao

Wait... fuck.. wait... so this is a rumor? It's not true? :( Oh god... what am I going to do with this fucking F in Economics. ; _ ;

Animation/Graphics - I loved the style. It got a little sloppy in some parts with the text in between scenes and everything, but I'm guess that's what you were going for. The animation is very smooth and the drawings are done very well. A lot better than most of the stuff on newgrounds already to be honest.

Story/Content - I loved this haha. But do you really get grades like this or not? I've heard both sides of the stories. I guess I might have to do some research. :S Even though I guess it doesn't really matter since I have a single room this semester and next semester my roommate is a good friend of mine and I rather him not die. It's a great idea for a flash though and you really brought the story out well with the animation. Nice quick scene with the ghost at the end.

Audio - I don't think you could have picked a better song for the flash. I liked the fact that there weren't any voices or sound effects in this flash. I think it worked better that way. Great job making the audio work that well with the flash.

Overall - I hope to see more of your stuff requested in the review request club like this. I really enjoyed it. Great job.

xthesnarfx responds:

Thanks man! That really means a lot coming from some one that watches a lot of movies here on newgrounds. I picked a song without any words in it to try to see if I could get my point across without any words. I think it worked pretty well. Also... Get that F up young man!

[TMB Episode 1 - 1/2]

I loved it.

Animation/Graphics - I happen to love sprites. :( Haha, but this wasn't a sprite movie. I happen to love it when people take should be sprites like Mario and animate/draw the characters themselves though. I like the personal style that you had in this flash. The animation was very smooth and the drawing style was perfectly fine.

Story/Content - I was like WTF when it started. Ha, you may want to change the settings a little bit even though it didn't show anything. You never know when a 8 year old who isn't suppose to be on newgrounds will come by and see this episode and learn about his penis the wrong way. D: Or is that the right way? Oh well, getting back on track now. A good start of a story and a interesting plot. I liked it very much and I hope you post your next part up in the review request club so I get a chance to see it.

Audio - Nice background music, sound effects, and voices all around here. The voices were well synced with the animation of the mouth and all of the animation in general.

Overall - A great submission. Perhaps could be just a little bit longer, but there isn't anything wrong with having some short funnies like these. Hope to see the next one soon.

Thanks :D

[The 3 Second Collab]

Ugh...

Animation/Graphics - Some were rather good. I will give you that some were very good. MOST of them were really shit though man. The animations were very spammy and most weren't good at all. The ones that were good are the only ones that got you any points from me, but the ones that were really shit greatly outnumbered the good ones in the submission.

Story/Content - Have you ever wondered what a spam flash would look like if a bunch of spammers got together and added all of their spam submissions together into one movie? Guess what. This is the outcome of that. It was basically the longest spammy flash that I have saw on newgrounds in a long time. Again, this isn't going towards some of the people in this collab. It's just going towards most of the people. Some spent their 3 seconds great and made very good pieces, while most made shit that would be considered spam.

Audio - I liked some of the sound effects that people put in their parts, but what I really disliked about this collab was you just looped the same thing over and over. This really needed some more songs to mix this thing up and make it so it wasn't so repetitive.

Overall - After all of the hype you made about this collab it really didn't live up to it man. And what a huge file size. It took forever to load. Perhaps do something about compressing the file down by perhaps optimizing the audio?

[Zacharee & Ga Order Pizza]

Ah Knox.

Every time you submit it brings back the good old days of when I first joined newgrounds and when I added you as my first favorite author back in 2004.

Animation/Graphics - A little bit different this time around. You kept the clay animation really simple and the rest was more live action. I like the mix of both live action and claymation here. I can't believe how good you are with making the movements with the clay characters. What's your secret? I have made so many claymations back in high school and not a single one was ever close to being that smooth. Hell they were so jumpy that I couldn't even bare to watch the replay of them.

Story/Content - It was completely random, but really funny just like all of your movies. The whole pickle to the sock thing was completely random, but was priceless at the same time. When the pizza deliver boy said, "I forgot to put the pizza in the box" I just busted out laughing. That was by far the funniest part in the entire movie.

Audio - You had a nice selection of music in the submission and like always you did a great job a voice acting for the characters. I also think that you did a good job with the sound effects. Everything was pretty clear and timed well with the movements.

Overall - Every time you submit something it's going to get my 5 and my 10. I love your stuff. Keep submitting stuff man.
