Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MGS: Flash Collab DISC 02]

Amazing.

Animation/Graphics - You all had your own styles, which were all done very well. I love collabs of this size because of all the different animation styles that you can see in one movie. Some were better then others, but the overall quality was great.

Story - FUNNY SHIT. Well I didn't find them all funny, but I did find two extremely funny ones. The one where he was in the box and he just about shit his pants, which resulted in him throwing up was pretty funny, but when the guy in the mask threw up and filled his mask up.. FUCKING HILARIOUS. I don't remember who did that scene, but props to you. Also, the finishing scene (Why am I attracted to fart jokes? I'm 20 years old..) when he could barely hold his shit in was absolutely hilarious also. Props to made that one as well.

Audio - All of the voice acting and everything else audio related was great. There isn't much to comment on other then that really.

Overall - I can't wait till the next one guys! It's funny as hell and movies like this really make watching the portal worthwhile. Great job.

Well.

I wouldn't give this submission a high score any other time, but you are my roommate and it was funny. It made me laugh and anytime something can make me laugh on newgrounds then I am forgiving on the rating that I give it. I can't review this like a regular flash animation, because this isn't a flash animation. It is funny though. Great humor all the way through. Some parts might have been a little boring, but most of it made me laugh my ass off. A lot of people that I showed back home thought it was funny too. Americas funniest home videos maybe? Ha, it might not win, but it's worth a shot. I'm happy you decided to submit this. :)

Thanks for the review. :)

[ifone]

Ha, loved it.

The score of 10/10 comes from the fact that I love these short animation with this style.

Animation/Graphics - Like I said pretty much one of my favorite types of animation. You haven't by any chance coed or collabed with LazyFeet have you? If so were you on the collab that we planned out about the commercials? We haven't even started if so. If not sorry for going off topic. Like I was saying, I love the style. The colors and backgrounds were nicely done. Also, the animation was smooth.

Story - A nice short commercial type plot here. Ha, I don't have an iphone, but I guess I don't really want to get one now even though this was suppose to be a funny flash, I'm sure some if not all of what you have said in the flash holds true to an extent. A nice little plot and good humor.

Audio - The voice acting, sound effects, and background music was all done very well. I don't have much more to say about the audio of the submission.

Overall - A great short animation. I liked the style and the humor. Good job.

I like your art work!

Animation/Graphics - I really like your artwork man. You have a talent there. Animation is also very good to be honest. Maybe it's a bit different then some other animations, but it wasn't that bad at all. The style of colors and drawing is interesting and I happen to like it.

Story - Ah, the only part that lowered the score of your flash at all. I understand not every flash has to have a story, but I don't know about a pineapple man walking to a point and then having the film reverse back and all those weird movements he started using with his mouth. It was very short and there wasn't too much to watch here, but again not every flash has to have a story.

Audio - Ha, untuned guitar is exactly what I heard, but it kind of went well with the submission to be honest. It gave it that "weird" feeling. A nice little selection that fits well with the animation.

Overall - A good show case of your drawing and animation skills, but nothing too great or exciting. Still enough to get a 7 from me though.

[The Dropping Egg Collab]

Nice job.

Animation/Graphics - Everyone did a great job at drawing their eggs. (That almost makes me sound like I'm talking to a little kid at easter time >.<) Also, the animation was very smooth and I couldn't find anything particularly wrong with it at all. Colors and backgrounds were also nicely done.

Story - A original idea, but I think it needs to be executed just a bit better to be considered a great idea. There could of been several other scenes that could of been added and I do think that the flash itself was lacking in humor. While that brought your score down a lot on my review your Easter Egg brought it back up. I couldn't believe that I couldn't find it the first time through, but the hint at the end was so completely obvious, since you literally spelled it right out, that I of course found it the second time through. I promise to come back and play the game part of it whenever I have a proper mouse, but I currently have a laptop with one of those built in mouses, which makes the keep the object up games rather difficult to play. I did get the first little badge though just with the built in mouse.

Audio - What better audio to use then the chicken dance song, lmao. I do think that you could of added more sound effects though. Like when the egg had a face and was screaming you should of had a voice over of someone screaming, etc.. Stuff like that would of really helped the score of your flash.

Overall - You guys did a good job, but I do think that it needs a bit more humor and maybe some sound effects. I think if you do that then you will get a much better score the next time around.

[A new clock!]

Ha, gave me a little laugh.

What a 8/10? How is that possible? Oh yeah, it's a clock day flash! Free high scores and 5 to go around right? Haha.

Animation - It's not spam like most clock day submissions. It has a hell of a lot better animation then any of my clock day flashes also. On a regular submission though I wouldn't be so happy about the animation for one reason. It's very simple. yes everything was smooth and I didn't really see any glitches, but it wasn't absolutely fun to watch or anything.

Story - A clock day submission with a plot? Amazing! Ha, I have to admit that I didn't think it was going to be too great. Even when the weight fell on him I was thinking that it wasn't going to be any good, but with that last message and when I put two and two together with the title of the submission it gave me a nice small laugh. Great simple humor in my opinion so great job here. Maybe work on getting just a tad bit better background in your future submissions. That would probably help a little.

Audio - The sound effects went well with the submission, but I think you could of maybe added some nice background music. That would of probably helped the score of your flash by just a little.

Overall - A mediocre flash at best, but it is a clock day submission and just like any other clock day submission should be treated with respect, of course unless it breaks some sort of rules. And of course this is only my personal opinion on the matter. Should we expect future clock day submissions from you?

sistem69 responds:

yes future better and maybe a prize in an animation of mine cuz i did this in like 20 minutes.

[Ode to Elevator Music]

Hmm.

You gave me a challenge here.. this is kind of hard for one reason. Because I don't really think something like this should of been submitted to be honest, but of course that is my opinion and as long as the flash doesn't break any rules then it's up to you if you want to submit it or not.

Animation/Graphics - I really can't give you anything here so I'm sorry about that. You did have just a bit of animation with the switching of the words and they weren't too fast or too slow in my opinion so you do get a point from me there. Also, the text in the flash was easy to read and was well organized so you get another point from me.

Story - The story.. well I have to admit that the story in your author comments was really good and would make a great flash animation in the way that you explained it. You receive another point for having a great description of what you are suppose to be thinking about. Other then that there wasn't too much in the flash at all. I did think that the red letters were going to spell something out like the others did so I guess that was just a tad bit confusing, but it was nice to add some variation instead of the same black letters.

Audio - Decent audio, which of course goes along with the subject since it is elevator music that you used so you get the last point from me from there.

Overall - My opinion is that I don't think it should be on newgrounds, but like I said before my opinion is my opinion not yours so it doesn't really matter. It was very simple and I had to review it a little differently because of that. Usually I don't just give out points for things that were done well like I did in this review, usually I just say what should be fixed and what could of been done better, but I honestly couldn't think of anything in this situation.

Thankyou for judging fairly. Simplisity is fun :D

[Newgrounds Intro Collab]

I was impressed.

Animation/Graphics - Very good for the most part. Some were very simple, but most of them were well done. I didn't really notice any glitches in any of them or anything. For the most part they all ran pretty smoothly. Some were animated a lot better then others, but your going to run into that in collabs obviously. Some of the ones I felt may have had drawings and graphics just a tad bit too simple. Overall though the animation and graphics were good.

Story - I never thought of anything like this before. A very original idea in my opinion. Not only was this fun to watch, but it's also very useful to some people since you included the download button. Buttons done well and all of the text was in order and neat. I do think next time around you should try to get some funnier ones in there. Great job though.

Audio - All of the sounds effects and voices were good and the audio that you chose for the flash worked well also. Nothing much more to say about that.

Overall - A very good idea, which could be done many times and would still probably be fun to watch and helpful to people at the same time. Great submission.

Thanks for the review.

[The Hit Man]

Not bad.

Pretty good I have to admit. Do you plan on making a series of this?

Animation/Graphics - Well, almost everything was completely fine, except for people themselves. I can't say I really enjoyed the style of drawing that you had here, but if you are going to stick with it then you really need to improve on the smoothness. The men were very rough at best and had some rough edges.

Story - Not bad, not bad at all. A movie that could turn into a series if done correctly. The idea may not be original, but it is something that I enjoy watching. I have to say that there wasn't too much of a story though and it did end kind of sudden. The lack of story is ok, but in future submissions you should do something like having his boss call him up or and telling him who to kill, etc.. That will be stuff that you can come up with if you continue this as a series though.

Audio - I think it really lacked here. The sound effects were fine, but there should have been some background music, and in future submissions you should think about some voice acting. Actually if you want some voice acting I can do some for you. Just drop me a PM with the lines that you want me to say and I will be happy to do it for you.

Overall - A series, if worked on, could be a great series and fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

OGWelsh responds:

thanks for the comment!
uhm well this was one of the first animations i did and at the time i was gonna make this into a series. what i was basically doing with this was trying out frame-by-frame animation which i have since developed quite a skill for (check my rotoscope films if you're interested). so no i dont plan to make this into a series.
