Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stoneage Collection]

Not bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The Good Points - Mouth animations seemed to be very good and you had decent backgrounds/drawings in the submission.

Things to Improve On - This is one place where the submission could be improved on. It had very simple animation. You had mostly the mouth and hands moving. If you were to come back and every redo this (which you probably won't :p) I would suggest making the animation a little more complex. Adding things like walking scenes and/or eye movements and other movements more smooth.

The drawings themselves could have also been worked on a little bit. They weren't bad, but they still have room to improve on.

~ Story/Content ~

The Good Points - This contained decent humor. The only real laugh that I got out of it was the scene where he hit himself in the head with the club, enjoyed it, and hit himself again. I think I enjoyed that the most because I would expect to see people doing dumb things like that even today.

Things to Improve On - The length of the submission left much to be desired. Not everything was very funny. I thought the fart joke was extremely lame and so wasn't the whole scene with the rock hitting the woman in the face. I personally thought you were going to have him try to kick her in the crotch first like he did to the other male and see that it didn't hurt her like it did the male so he took it out on her face.

About 3 more scenes with decent humor would have made this submission much better in my opinion.

~ Audio ~

Great sound effects and good voice acting. I can't really think of anything to critique on this section of the submission. Good job here.

~ Overall ~

Just work on the graphics a bit, smoother/more complex animation, and work on the humor/content of the submission and you would have a pretty good submission here.

P.S. - I think I know some people who still act like this today. Surprisingly still talk like this too.

Haha, thanks for a great review :)
I'll take your words in consideration when I make new stuff!

[A Sign Of Happiness]

Ha not bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

A decent job on the animation. Looks like it was mainly a frame by frame flash. The style gives off a weird creepy feeling because everything is always moving and always squiggly. Nothing really to clean up too much here at all.

~ Story/Content ~

Dreams are always messed up like this. In our dream did you have the random Obey thing appearing? Your dreams are actually quite normal compared to mine. Not really bizarre at all.

The thing I noticed about this was that it was rather predictable. Once you started falling and the happy music started I just knew that you were going to fall to your death. Even though I saw it coming from a mile away I still laughed when he hit the ground. You know something is funny when you know it's coming and still laugh when it happens.

I didn't see the guy randomly throwing up at the end coming though.

~ Audio ~

Good job with the music all around. Sound effects and audio was well chosen and well synced with the submission.

~ Overall ~

A good job. Dreams can make really good flash submissions and I think this turned out rather well. It's worth a watch in my opinion.

Thanks for the review :D

[Pixtropolis City]

Nice.

It's always great to watch a collab with these authors on them. You guys are pretty good with flash. :)

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The pixel style is really a good look. Messy of course, but that's the style that I'm talking about. Kind of gives you the really old video game type feeling. Everyone here has a different style within the pixel style, which makes it interesting to watch.

~ Story/Content ~

The scenes that I enjoyed the most were the darker scenes. The ones that were at night and were packed full of action. I could really see a flash series made mainly about a dark city and crime with this kind of style.

The Pico scene would probably have to be one of my favorites. Angel did a good job on that one. The suicide scene by Jimtopia was pretty well detailed. I wish he would have shown a little bit of the falling though.

I'm not going to sit here and comment on every scene just because I don't have enough time or room in the review space, but for the most part the scenes were packed full of action and fun to watch.

~ Audio ~

It sounded great without sound effects and was it synced up really well with the audio that you used. I was impressed with how the timing with the audio was so good in this submission. It really fit well.

~ Overall ~

A great style done by good artists with interesting scenes full of action. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

[OLD MOBS EP2]

Good job.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The animation style that you have is pretty good. It's original most of the time, but there are a few places where it gets just a little sloppy. It kind of adds to the comical feeling that you get from the submission though. Not the best animation or graphics, but clearly not bad at all.

~ Story/Content ~

Actually not as funny or as random as the first one that I watched. It really didn't include too much more of a story, but it was still pretty fun to watch. Still pretty random in all aspects too.

The over 9,000 joke was really lame and I knew it was coming. Very predictable.

This one seemed to have a lot of action in it. I can tell that you really put a lot of hard work into your submission and I do put effort into the rating that I give to people.

~ Audio ~

I really do think that a lot of the voices could be better quality. The Moose voice especially. To me it's sort of hard to understand and sounds kind of staticy. I don't know if it's the microphone or if your too close to the mic, etc.. Whatever it is I think it's really the only thing that would have to be worked on in this submission at all to make it better.

~ Overall ~

An interesting story. Keep me updated whenever you have a new submission because I enjoy your humor.

Hey, thanks for the review, you really break everything down and make it easier for us to improve and we appreciate it! Thanks also for the great score and we hope to see you again for Episode 3 that we're finishing up now. We've improved on the overall quality quite a bit. Our test viewers seem to think we've perfected it, so we can't wait to see what you think! Hope to see you when it launches!

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 9]

Hmm different.

First off I want to mention a weird box thing that almost looked like a camera that showed up for some reason all over the screen. What was that there for? Was it suppose to be there or was that a mistake.

Also, it never had a loader or anything for me. It looked like it was suppose to, but as soon as I open the movie up it shows the loading screen for half a second or so and then just plays automatically. That was a little annoying because I had other tabs open and I didn't want it to play yet.

The animation itself was very simple, but I like how you made it work with the simple animation. I enjoyed the style.

The movie made me laugh a little bit, but being so short it was just a small smile. Perhaps a little bit more build up would have made the scene of the guy kicking the seat funnier.

You had a good choice of audio and sound effects in the flash.

Overall it looks like you may have a couple of errors to fix up. Other than that a pretty decent submission.

You must not have the latest flash player.
