Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tribute to Tributes]

Well it had to be rushed.

It had to be rushed because it was a last minute thing. It's not really something that you can plan out a couple days ahead of time.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

Not the best. Even for something being rushed it's still not the best, but it's not terrible at all. I would have liked to see more backgrounds than the black background that you used the entire time. (Sounds like MJ being sick of being black all of the time)

Anyway, perhaps more detailed backgrounds, art work needs a little bit of work, and some parts were actually rushed to the point that they went so fast and I had no clue what I just saw on the screen.

~ Story/Content ~

Tributes to tributes can be fun sometime. The one thing they always are is hypocritical though. Such as you saying put it on youtube, when this tribute is basically the same quality and serves almost the same purpose as those submissions. You put your stuff on youtube then. :P

Ha, actually hate when people say that...

It started off kind of funny, but throughout the entire thing you slowly start to realize that you were just trying to be too funny and trying too hard to be funny is rarely funny.

I would have liked to seen the humor be more subtle and spread out throughout the entire submission instead of just kind of packed in the first half of the submission.

~ Audio ~

Voice acting was fine, but the quality of the voice was terrible. Sounds like you just have a very poor microphone to me. So I guess the choices are to get a better mic. or to use a voice actor in the future. A large section of your movie I didn't understand because I couldn't hear what was being said.

~ Overall ~

Your basic tribute to tributes that actually is basically the same as the tributes at hand.

Indeed, I realized how tribute-like this tribute was, but... I liked mine better =D
Thanks for the review, you'll hear more of my microphone in my next animation >.<"

[WALK!]

Good work guys.

Sorry if I spelled people's names wrong, but in my opinion the font you used was very hard to read and I couldn't tell the difference between some letters.

Cool menu and music used for this collab.

Dante224 - Orange guy with big smile - Very simple, the arm movement made it look the best in my opinion, but the leg movement wasn't the best. The head of the character just looks out and out of place, but I guess this is more about the walking more than anything.

Person sneaking - This was really good. The colors used, the mixture of white and black, the animation and movement, and the shadow was awesome. Good job here.

Snake in the boot - Very simple again, but not too bad at all. I think there could have been more work put into the transition of the different movements. Especially in the boot itself with the line that gets slightly bigger.

Dayl - Odd... why does the character get bigger as he walks? Looks a little off to me personally. Other than that great walking motion. The shoe lace was a sweet addition.

Fjgamer - Girl - Good graphics, but just looks like an incomplete walk cycle. Leaves me with the feeling that it needs to be finished.

Guy - The legs seem great this time around, but you didn't involve the upper body. Even when trying to keep the upper body still it's very unnatural to have it that stiff.

FruityPeeblls - Very simple, cartoon style. Could be used in a small background character and look pretty good.

Insanimation - Looks good all around. No complaints about anything here. Big head lol.

Jkamovies - Woah, that's about perfect in my opinion. The amount of detail and effort that was put into this was amazing.

Magical zorse - A very good cartoon style walk cycle. Seems like it would look good in a flash.

Mahora - Simple, could be used for a small background piece, but I don't think it's amazing enough to have as a main character or main piece, etc..

Medoukalivincent - Not too bad at all man. Kind of slow, but this would go great in a scene where someone was strutting down the street with some "cool" music in the background.

Randomini - Good job all around. Another one of my favorites on here and looks like a great style.

RooJames - Too simple. The artwork and everything was good, but it just looks unnatural as the legs don't really bend or anything likes that.

Sefyz - Car - I could see this being used in some crazy cartoon flash, but not the best walk cycle on here. Not too bad, but art work gets a little sloppy when the legs are up.

Green guy - A better one here for Sefyz. Really cartoony and I think it is done very well. One of the better ones on here.

Handycap guy - There we go. Perhaps the best on here. Very fluent movement and looks good all around. Good artwork and everything.

Starownage3 - Woo, way to end it off with a moonwalk. Not to bad at all, but neck movement and artwork look like they could be improved greatly.

Insanimation responds:

Woah, thanks for doing every part individually, it was nice to have a proper breakdown of it all. I <3 this review :)

Sad thing is I'm the only one who'll read it, and I'm the only one who you didn't really give any criticism :P

[Resident Shittits 5]

And I have played the game :P

Ha, first time I ever played this I tried to stand right in the middle of everything with my knife. I died, but the second time I played it I don't think I died until about 2 or 3 hours into the game. Then I played to the point where it was so easy that I couldn't die even when I was fooling around on the hardest difficulty.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

Rushed, I could obviously tell that's what you were going for, but I don't know if that makes it better or not even if you were trying to do it on purpose. I think there is a way to make it looked rushed without really sacrificing too much quality, but I don't know if you have done that here. But just because you were trying to do it doesn't make it better unless it really does look good that way. I think you were almost there, but not quite.

~ Story/Content ~

A quick outtake/parody of the RE game, which was fun for awhile, but just like all the rest of them they got boring. I've seen many flashes on this site for the intro of the game though so perhaps it may be a bit more original to do another section of the game? Oh wait.. Ha, I guess you didn't get that far. >.<

Is there a reason that who seems to be Sheva or Shiva, whatever the hell her name is, looks white in this? Didn't feel like making her black?

Good humor all around though and some stuff made me laugh.

~ Audio ~

Good voice acting, good sound effects, etc.. I had no complaints about the audio at all. Was done well.

~ Overall ~

Perhaps not the best, most original piece, but a nice bit of humor and a decent submission all around. Worth a watch if you've played the game. Keep on working!

RhysMus responds:

Yeah it was a more spur of the moment thing, i was playing, got angry and then wanted to make an animation :P

Yeah i kinda did a boo boo on the sheva being white.

Thanks for your review anyhoos!

[Fizz (Episode 1)]

Not bad at all.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

Your submission was good all around, but it had great animation. Good uses of zooming in and out, great detailed backgrounds, smooth animations, great artwork, etc.. What I would expect from something from you.

~ Story/Content ~

I liked the story all around. The healthy food joke that you put in there made me laugh a little bit. The puppy cannon also made me laugh a little bit. So good humor and a decent plot all around. Even an informative piece about why the evil doctor guy failed at the end.

~ Audio ~

To me I personally found the doctors voice acting kind of.. mediocre? I think that's the right word, but I found Fizz's voice acting to be great. Voice acting overall was very good and the sound effects/music that you used was done very well.

~ Overall ~

A good story that gets away from your usual work. I hope to see more from this series! Keep up the hard work.

Jimtopia responds:

Well personally I thought both of the voice actors did a great job bringing the characters to life, but you are entitled to your opinion, and thanks for the review!

[Teh Dot Trilogy: Collab]

Not too bad guys.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

Reviewing collabs like this isn't always the easiest thing because sometimes some people are really good, some are alright, and some are really bad. For the most part I can say that nobody was really bad in this. I will admit perhaps a few weak links here and there, but for the most part not too bad. Some really good ones and some decent ones. Can't really mess up a dot too much can you? XD

~ Story/Content ~

I liked the ones that went from just being a dot into turning into bigger things. Perhaps a couple more of those would have been better. I though a lot of the backgrounds used were really fitting. Even the ones that looked like they came from google. :P

Decent idea for a collab. Not really a great idea by all means, but I think it turned out well. I hope your proud of it.

~ Audio ~

I like the song, but I think you should have used a song from the audio portal. I'm never a fan of using copyrighted songs after having some of my youtube videos have their audio disabled. Fuckers. Song went well with the animations though.

~ Overall ~

Not too bad. Good job on this and good luck on any future projects.

Matt2k8 responds:

Thanks Corky.

Good review and i'm glad you liked it.
