Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MC Hammurabi's Code]

Hmm...

Comments before actual review - Wait, what exactly was I watching here? At first I thought it was going to be a serious flash, but then I thought it was going to be funny flash... then it just ended up... meh I will cover it later.

Animation/Graphics - Decent now and then.. and good now and then.., but also not very good now and then. (Wow, a lot of know and thens >.<) Some of it was very simple and the stuff that was very simple, such as the pyramid building, and some animation of people that you had, could of been improved on.

Story - Lol what was going on? I guess since I don't know much about the subject is the reason that I don't really understand what's going on in the flash. Maybe include some background somewhere so we understand what's happening.

Audio - Not bad music and everything. The audio itself was ok. No complaints from me here on this section. ;)

Overall - If it wasn't for me being confused you would of probably got a better score from me despite some of the animation suggestions that I had.

[Ghouls]

I liked it. Good job. :D

Comments before actual review - Hm, you might of hit a soft spot here with this flash. ;) I happen to love animations and/or drawings with pacman in it.

Animation/Graphics - Very simple, but I liked the style here. Pretty good and kind of that humorous animation style that you would expect to see. You had pretty smooth animation and the colors used were pretty good.

Story - This was a pretty good part of the flash because it caught me by complete surprise. I was expecting to see something like just a ghost killing people, but towards the end I was like, "WTF is this smiley face doing in the flash? It's just kind of ruining what he did so far.." Then I realized that it was pacman and then it gave me a good laugh. I put two and two together with the pacman and the ghost. :P

Audio - Good audio you used here in the background. You didn't really have sound effects or anything in it, but they weren't needed in this flash.

Overall - A nice short flash with pretty good humor. You have a nice style of animation also even though it is just a bit simple.

You like pac man? I LIKE PAC MAN!

We're totally made for each other.

[Father & Son In: Trip]

You are on the right path. ;)

Comments before actual review - Wow, two flashes reviewed in a row from me that have a lot of potential. These are the type of flashes that I really enjoy reviewing. :D They are so much better than reviewing the absolutely terrible flashes and the very good flashes.

Animation/Graphics - The main reason that you lost points from me. It was very rough and very unorganized. If you just worked on the animation part of your submission and worked on it until it was up to par then you would of probably received an 8 or 9 out of me on my review. Just clean somethings up and work on the smoothness of your animation. I'm sure this will come with time though. :)

Story - I liked the story line actually. This didn't really happen to you did it? lol, I hope not. I laughed very hard when the animal popped out of the bushes with the guys screaming back and forth with the animal and the kid swearing up a storm. Great humor and a fun flash to watch is what gave you the most points from me on my review.

Audio - Decent for the most part, but I would like to recommend laying off the mic just a little bit. Even when things are suppose to be loud back away from the mic a little bit so we don't get those extremely loud voices that we got. Other than that pretty decent voice acting.

Overall - It needs a lot of work in the terms of animation, but if you work on it than I'm sure this would be a great submission. Keep working hard.

CSanimations responds:

Thanks. I feel my graphics could be, and are, being improved in my stuff. As for the animation, I feel that yes, it could be improved a lot, and that I learnt a lot from it.
You see, I'm still working out how to improve - creativly & technically.
I know I should, but it's a slow process of thinking. For me, anyway.
As for the story, I'm glad you liked it, it wasn't really orginised, I just kept on adding more & more stuff to it. :)
I'm suprised you thought the audio was ok - I didn't like it that much, but thanks.
:)
Great review, I'll take it in mind.

[Sentry- 1]

Needs some work. ;)

Comments before actual review - II will do you a favor and recommend this for the Halloween collection and I would also like to say that this is a pretty good start, but it needs a lot of work.

Animation/Graphics - Very simple and very rough. I guess I will say it that it's not very good, but it does have a lot of potential. Just cleaning up the animation and making things smoother. I really do think if you work on your animating skills that this could be a really good flash. Since it's only your 2nd flash animation I'm going to assume that you haven't been working with flash the longest of time and I'm sure that you will get better at animating as you get more experienced.

Story - A decent story, but it just seemed like it was missing a lot. It was kind of hard to follow because it jumped from thing to thing and was missing out on a lot of the in between animations. That's what makes good flashes great and great flashes amazing. If you fill in these small things and work a little bit on the length of the submission then you could have an award winning flash here on newgrounds. ;)

Audio - Decent audio, but I would like to say that the volume wasn't always good. Most of the time the sound effects were too loud compared to the voices and vice versa as most of the time the voices were too quiet compared to the sound effects. Just something small that might be worked on.

Overall - This has a lot of potential. I thought about giving it a 5, but thought about how you will probably get better as you get more experienced and gave you an extra point. Keep working hard and keep requesting your stuff at the RRC so I can see how you improve.

SCUD14 responds:

Thanks.

It's not that I haven't had flash a long time, it's just that it takes me a lot of commitment to bother making anything past ten frames long.

My first time working with volumes within flash, so that'd be why that sucks haha.

[Death Note ending demo]

Review Below

Comments before actual review - I never heard of Death Note. >.<

Animation/Graphics - Did you do the drawing here? If you did it was done very nicely. The graphics were perfectly fine here, but the animation was just.. kind of weird I guess. Kind of jumpy and everything.

Story - I guess I just don't really understand what was going on here at all. Is it going to be used as some sort of credits? I wouldn't want to just use this as an ending to a submission by itself.

Audio - The audio went very well with the animation itself. Again, I'm assuming audio used in Death Note or whatever it is that you are making a flash about. So it's going to be a good fit naturally.

Overall - An alright ending, but I would add scrolling credits to it off to the side or something and probably wouldn't use this as an ending in itself.

[Crazy Laws: Wisconsin]

Lol

What's up with the train ones? Seriously how are trains suppose to advance if they aren't allowed to go before the other one goes? Lmao that makes no sense at all. And you're not allowed to kiss a train? Who would kiss a train anyway? Not allowing to be aroused in public. D: Oh god these laws are really crazy. Maybe you should make these for other countries too.

[Where ISN'T my mind?]

Hmm not that bad.

Comments before actual review - I was hoping this was a parody of What's not in my mind, the other flash that you had the RRC review for you, but comes to figure out I read the title wrong. That might be a good idea some day though to think of something like that and parody your own flash. :D

Animation/Graphics - Let's go with the bad first so you forget the bad when I mention the good. ;) It was way too simple. I don't animate myself, but when I watch a flash I do want to see more then a couple of lines and dots moving. Now on to the good. The animation that you did have, while still very simple was very smooth and clean.

Story - Completely random, but it did have some content. Let's go with the bad again. It was very short and the content of the flash itself was just... let's say boring. Now you did have some text that added to the flash itself and I do like when flash animation are well timed with the audio, but I will cover that in the audio part of my review.

Audio - I like the song and I like submissions that are well synced with the audio. This was a perfect example of one of those submissions and you did a very good job at timing everything. The quality and everything was also very clear.

Overall - You did a good time timing the animation with your audio, but it just seemed to be short and empty. It really needed more content, even though I did notice that you said you didn't have enough time. :(

[:Mush:]

I liked it. :D

Comments before actual review - I kind of like when people make these short flashes of unfinished work or work from their past flashes.

Animation/Graphics - Decent, but a lot of simple things that a lot of artists can do. I've actually grown to like some of those styles though and I really don't mind stickmen at all. Some things could of been made just a tad bit better with color in the background or something like of the sort.

Story - The length of the flash was perfectly fine and I completely understand that you were using some unfinished pieces of work, but I feel the scenes that you made should of been just a tad bit longer. Some of them ended as soon as they started and yet others last just the right amount of time. There was some simple humor and some action scenes.

Audio - The audio was nice from sound effects to music selected throughout the entire piece. I liked the transition that you used in between and the static noise to go along with it. Good job here.

Overall - A good job, I recommend making the unfinished scenes finished sometime and maybe submitting some of them because some of them looked like they could turn out pretty good.

[The Dot Of Excellence 3]

OMG SO GOOD lul

Oh man please if your going to make us review things like this like I said in my last review at least make them funny in some way or do something with them. Well we are actually making some sort of new rule where we don't have to review submissions like this anymore so I guess this could be the last time that I complain about it. :D Oh well, on to the constructive part.. it needs animation, story, etc.. You did have audio, but a piece of audio and a picture doesn't make a flash sorry. :(
