Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghost Motel 9 (3D)]

A stretch..

That I think you shouldn't have taken with this series. Or at last did a little bit better job if you did..

Animation/Graphics - The 3D style is different, but I liked the style that you were going with already on the series. What program did you use to make this though? It was quite interesting and I haven't seen too many 3D submissions like this before. Anyway, the animation was sort of choppy and wasn't always smooth. Even if I turned the quality down it was still a bit choppy here and there.

Story/Content - Ouch.. this is were the series was really hurt. Barely any story to it at all and barely and content at all. All he did was shoot one Demon and then moved on to shoot some more, but never did. Extremely short and is a very big downgrade from your other flash submissions in this series.

Audio - A nice selection of music in the background and good voices/sound effects. Thats about it with the audio. Perhaps a little more sound effects from the demons would have been appropriate and maybe something like the screams of nearby ghosts would have worked pretty good.

Overall - In my opinion the runt of the bunch. Not too good at all. I hope the future episodes aren't this short/empty. :(

Violet-AIM responds:

This was more of a new style on this not that we were not going back to the old style it was just a test at a game.

[LRN: Francisco Pizarro]

Lol

Was this done on Powerpoint or was it done on flash? Haha, either way this really isn't something for newgrounds at all. ^^ Something for a school project perhaps and I don't think I've ever heard of the guy and I haven't ever had to do a school project on him so I don't even know if it's too helpful there. Informative? Yeah, it is a little bit. Concept? Ugh, who wants to watch this man? Haha, instead why don't you do a Bio on your own life or perhaps your newgrounds life. Or perhaps someone else's newgrounds life. That's something that would be just a little bit more interesting. Even though you kind of made two Bio's on my life with those Statwhore flashes.

[Ghost Motel 4 Outtakes]

Lmao

Animation/Graphics - Good like always. Everything was just a tad bit better in this one and you had a lot of actual animation.

Story/Content - I fucking loved this. It was probably one of the funniest episodes that I have watched in a long time. Just the way that you guys bashed that reviewer for leaving a dumb review. Haha, it makes me want to make a flash just to bash on the reviewers from my flashes. That's awesome. Just the concept of it is amazing. There were a lot of things to choose from on this flash and a lot of the stuff was funny. Some of it wasn't so funny, but it looked like you were trying too hard to make some of the things funny, but the things that were funny outnumbered the things that weren't.

Audio - Voice acting was alright again. I can see that you are getting a little better with the voices on the ghosts, but the Riddler's voice wasn't very good for some parts. Some parts sounded like they had a lot of static when he talked. Something that can be worked on a little bit by backing away from the mic and talking loud/clear.

Overall - One of my favorites in this series and I think it's funny enough to make my favorites list. Good job all around here.

Violet-AIM responds:

Thank you, we had fun making this one.

[-Broken-]

Not bad at all.

I struggled between a 6 and a 7, but I feel like giving it a 7. =P

Animation/Graphics - The drawing style that you have is interesting. It's very simple, but yet it gets the job done. Sometimes simple is all that you needed in this flash I think the simple drawings and animation was good enough. Great sad colors and everything. The plain background gives you the feeling of emptiness, which I think you were going for with it. The walking style made me smile a little bit, but again it was an interesting style of animation.

Story/Content - I think you could have improved this by a lot. I get what you are trying to do by showing the sadness and everything, but it's a little too short content wise. I think you should have added more things that went by in the backgrounds such as sad memories that he had or things like a couple holding hands, which just makes his sadness/loneliness even deeper than it was before.

Audio - Maybe a few more sounds effects, but that would come with adding more content to the flash if you so choose to. I think that the song that you chose was a very good one and I might have to stop by the audio portal and review it sometime. It really set the mood for the flash.

Overall - I think it was pretty good, but it would be really good if you added more content to it. Not only does this make it longer, but it can really add to the sadness of the submission and everything.

Insanimation responds:

Thanks for the review! That was some really great criticism which I certainly may take into account for future flashes..

[lalalooloo]

Hmm...

Animation/Graphics - Not too good at all. A couple of random drawings that look like they have been tweened together, which loop... Nothing really here to comment on other than the drawings need to be done much better and the animation needs to be much smoother.

Story/Content - A few random pictures.. again nothing really to comment about here. When a stickman falling on a sharp object and dies is the main content to your flash, which doesn't last more than a couple of seconds before it loops than you know you are really lacking on content. Even if a flash doesn't have a story.. this really didn't have much of anything at all.

Audio - Woo, 1 point for adding some nice audio, but sadly nice audio doesn't make a nice flash submission.

Overall - You could just change the Genre of this to Spam to give it a better classification because that's basically what it is, whether you meant it to be or not. If this was a serious submission then you need to add many more scenes to your loop and work on the animation and graphics a lot.

mikkim responds:

no, they wern't tweened. and the animation IS smooth. AND IT'S ACTION, NOT SPAM! }:>(

[Cows Pooping]

Lol

Animation/Graphics - Very nicely done. Smooth animation and smooth drawings. Colors were very full and everything seemed very fitting in the flash. The backgrounds, cow, the act of pooping, etc.. Pretty good all around.

Story - A very short film, but still it made me laugh. The thing is it was exactly what I thought it was going to be and for some reason it still caught me by complete surprise, which is weird since I knew it was coming. Ha, other than being so short there really isn't much more to critique here.

Audio - Nice audio here. I think the biggest reason that the whole flash caught me by surprise was because of the intensity of the noise that the pooping made. >.< Ha, I do think that you should have changed the music up a little bit though when the cow did poop to something more evil or something of the sort. Just changing it up a little bit would have sounded better in my opinion.

Overall - A very funny submission for the content that is in it. Probably deserve a little bit of a higher score than it has.

Imacow responds:

Thanks, pretty low score for this. It's all about the way you present it which is pretty depressing.

[Happy Birthday Yoshi77777]

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Birthday to you. So he is finally old enough to be on this site now? Nice. ;) Ha, hope its a good one. Oh yeah, good flash and everything too, etc..

Elite-Sniper responds:

This was my first ever one-framer.

Insert title of review here

Ah, nice to see you used my idea here. Good simple humor that anyone can enjoy. It probably should have been a bit longer and you should have added a bunch of other scenes. I already gave you all of my ideas, but perhaps try and get some from other people for a longer amount of time so you can improve on it. Also, something like a scene selection probably would have made the flash better and if someone thought a particular scene was funny they could go back and play it again. The scene that I thought was the funniest was the last scene where you thought that the guy was going to laser the tree, but instead the tree lasered him. Good job on the surprise there. ^^ Hmm, anyway a free ten out of ten because I did help you a little bit by giving you the idea for the rocket and everything. ;)

[MSLand Ch 2 Ep 1]

Not bad.

I think the first part with that just has the text needs something like simple background music on it and/or it needs a voice reading what the text says. Without any audio here it may seem sort of dry or boring to the watchers of the flash. Also, perhaps the text stays there for too long. To fix this without making it too fast for slower readers you could put a next button, even though I think the better thing to do would to add a voice reading the text and have the text scroll up the screen so it is easier on the eyes/gives us some animation to watch instead of just reading the old boring text.

Watching the flash itself it is pretty good. The animation and graphics are alright, but still need to be cleaned up a little bit. They are a bit rough and need to be smoother, but they aren't terrible. The story is very bad in this one. I really had no clue what was going on. It was very confusing. There seemed to be some mistakes here and there also like when the sky didn't fully cover the screen and there was black space where the sky should have been.

The audio was alright, but I still think the flash needs to have voices. Perhaps voices could even improve on the story and it wouldn't leave people as confused as what was really going on in the flash.

Overall, I do think that you have a talent with flash, but you also have so much potential to be a really good flash artist. Keep up the good work, work on your animation, story line, and especially getting some voices in your flash and I think they will turn out much better.

Grimasen responds:

Hi. Thanks. A lot of people think I should put voices, but I don't have the relevant material.

[MilkshakeL Ch.1 Ep.2 [EN]]

Pretty good.

That was pretty awesome man. I think in the beginning you should have animated the clock to move while it was loading. That might have seemed pretty cool so instead of just a picture of a clock there was a moving clock to represent the time that it takes to load. You are a great animator and this would be a very high scoring flash if you would have filled in most of it with color, voices, and sound. The story was funny and original. I think you needed color the most and then after that you really needed sounds. I think voices would have been better than the text that you used to show us the words. You messed up a lot on the English, but if you need help with that just send me a PM and I can't proofread your words before you submit the flash next time. You should also look for voice actors in the voice actor's thread in the audio portal. Your flash series could be in the top 50 submissions on this website if you did these things.

Anyway, I noticed that you are friends with sonofkirk. I am also good friends with him. =P
