Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Every Stone Has a Story 3]

Pretty good.

Animation / Graphics - The animation was pretty good and in my opinion ran smoothly. I also thought the drawing was done well and it happens to be one of the styles that I like.

Story - I must say this was a pretty funny story. A floating rock doesn't need an explanation like in your author comments. I mean it's a flash animation, does a rock need to have a reason for floating? I found the rock floating funny and the end pretty funny when the guy was buying "fish".

Audio - I know you say the audio was out of sync, but I have to admit that I really didn't notice too much when watching. I probably would have if I had read your comment first, but I didn't.

Overall, pretty good. Yes it could of been a little longer, but shorts like this are also funny.

[Crazy Laws: California 1]

Well this does need a lot of work.

Animation / Graphics - First off I want you to understand that I'm not flaming you for your flash or anything. I just want to try and help you out for future submissions. This really didn't include animation at all except for the switching from one part to the next. The drawing and font wasn't organized and just seemed to be everywhere. I recommend slowing the text down, or even better yet adding a button that allows you to choose when to go on when you are done reading. I also recommend some kind of animation whether it just be the stick man moving in the beginning of the flash, or something more. Also, try and straighten up the text itself and organize it a little better.

Story - Not too bad of an idea. I don't know if reading facts on a flash is something too exciting, but I have seen worse ideas. Maybe by adding more facts, a pre-loader, and a button which allows people to start over from the beginning would make this a lot better.

Audio - Audio can really jazz up a flash animation. You can either add a song in the background or make a selection of songs on a menu that a user can choose from to their own liking. If you added buttons to go back and forth between the facts then you could add a little sound effect when you clicked it.

Overall, this does need a lot of work, but hopefully you will take some of my suggestions into consideration when making a new flash or when updating this one. Good luck.

thank you. you were a lot of help

[Secrets Of Life And Death]

Not bad!

Animation / Graphics - The drawing was done pretty well, but I do recommend working a little bit on the animation. I would like to see more movement from the figures such as leg and arm movement. I think that would really add to your score.

Story - Nice little story about the secrets of life and death here. Wouldn't a better title be Secrets of Heaven and Hell though? The only downfall is that it is very short. Even though it was suppose to be a short animation it could of been a little longer.

Audio - Nice music here. The sound effect of when people were rejected from heaven was a nice little addition. It could of used a couple other sound effects, but overall not bad.

Overall, a nice short animation. The animation, story, and audio could of all been worked on a little bit, but not too bad.

Completely random and funny!

Animation / Graphics - Amazing animation in itself. I don't think you could of really done anything to improve it. Everything was good about it, the color, the smoothness of the animation, just everything.

Story - That was completely random! I loved it. Great story that made me laugh almost as soon as it started. Good job with this part too.

Audio - Very funny song. The audio ran great with the animation. There isn't much more to say about that.

Overall, amazing job. I loved the flash and keep up the good work.

Nifty.

Animation / Graphics - The animation and graphics themselves weren't that bad. I don't know if I liked such a small screen, but that doesn't really matter to you guys does it?

Story - No story at all. Even if you were just trying to be random it wasn't a very good attempt. My guess is that you were trying to spam, just because I know that's what you guys do. And you accomplished that.

Audio - You did have audio which is always a plus. You didn't have many chances to add audio since it was the same loop over and over.

So funny.

Animation / Graphics - Just like your other movies your animation was really good. The drawing was really done well and the colors were really good.

Story - Really funny there isn't much more to say about it other then it does talk about real life situations even though it is almost completely hidden by the comedy of the flash.

Audio - Nice music and I absolutely love the voice acting that you do in your flashes. It really adds to the humor of the flash.

Overall, awesome like usual. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your flashes. Can't wait to see your next flash that you are talking about.

[Drug Soup]

Resemblence of Salad Fingers.

Animation / Graphics - Actually not bad at all. Some parts I even really liked. If you worked on the animation and drawing just a bit more on your next submission it will get a better rating from me.

Story - Looks like you were trying to make a Salad Fingers type of movie here. Not too bad, but the only thing I recommend is actually adding just a bit of a story to it like the other Salad Fingers movies. You never know you could make a decent little series out of it.

Audio - There wasn't anything wrong with the audio as I can see. The voices were fine in my opinion.

Overall, just work on your skills a little bit and work on the story and/or make it longer and I think you could make some decent flash. This really doesn't deserve to have a score this low.

Annannas responds:

I know, i'm not so good in flash, i just tried :)
Cus i enjoy David Firth's work.

I can make a longer one, but it's so stressing that i have to add the
graphics again and again for every sinlge scene!

Got any flash tips?
Tell me!

[Sonic - Woes]

Nice short sprite movie.

Animation / Graphics - I know sprite movies aren't very hard to animate (Even though my only attempt at a sprite animation was blammed within seconds), but there wasn't anything wrong with this flash. Everything ran smoothly.

Story - Nice funny short story here. Kind of makes me think back. That level is on almost every single Sonic video game isn't it? So it was kind of funny when he was complaining about being in the same place over and over.

Audio - Nice music here, and nice fade out to the other song. The transition was pretty clean. Not to much more to say about the audio.

Overall, not bad. I generally like sprite movies even though I can't make my own. Keep up the good work and if you submit any more movies to newgrounds give me a PM and I will be sure to stop by and review it.

Thanks dude

I think Green Hill is mostly on every sonic game, but they change the name of it to verious different things, like Neo Green Hill Zone in Sonic Advanced and Emerald Hill in Sonic 2.

Oh, and don't worry, i'll be sure to send you a PM once I make my next movie ;). Thanks for the review

[There She Is!! step3]

Very good.

Animation / Graphics - Everything was very well drawn. Sometimes the animation was very simple and sometimes the animation was more complex, but at all times it was very smooth and well done. And if I'm not mistaken the style of the drawing has changed a little. At least I think it has.

Story - The story has changed from hasn't it. From the first and second movie where all he wanted to do was to get away and now he finally wants to be with her. Nice little twist in the plot there.

Audio - The audio ran great with the animation. There isn't much more to say then that.

Overall, good job. I can't wait to see number four when it comes out. Keep up the good work.
