Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%W]

Ha, another good Clock Day Flash

I remember seeing a sequel to this and looks like a prequel to this one. I haven't really been watching/reviewing these submissions in any certain order so bare with me here.

Completely random all around. Not really random enough to be too funny, but hell Clock Day is full of submissions that aren't even close to being this good. It is funny how you set it up as kind of a story line even though there clearly is no story behind it.

These make me feel motivated to make decent Clock Day submissions this year.

kinggila responds:

I think you've seen the finale, but the only one you might have yet to see is the second part. You'll come across it soon enough.

[Kill Bahamut! 01]

Decent idea.

This is pretty good for a Clock Day submission. Wouldn't be too bad of a series. Instead of just having Bahamut die in random ways you could have it so he dies by all of the level icons or something like that and then add in special days like this where he dies by B or Pico, etc...

The animation in the flash again was very simple, but I really do enjoy the style. The fade out effect that you used is the same effect that I use in my sprite animation that I'm currently working on. :p

Pretty decent all around for a Clock Day submission though.

kinggila responds:

Killed by my own chainsaw, that would be very amusing.

[400000?!]

Pretty good.

This is the best submission of yours that I have seen so far. I really liked the story to the submission and it was quite funny. Just from the part where you screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and "FUCK". Ha, I'm happy I learned the story of how Fagamut was made.

I also liked that this submission had real/different voices for each character instead of the speaktonia voices that make submissions sound shitty. :( So good job all around.

kinggila responds:

Actually, Fagamut was cloned, was never actually me. You'll hear the full backstory to Fagamut sometime.

[Bahamut N' Satan 666]

LOL

I'm going to say fuck my generic review style with your flashes. I'm just going to use that stuff for the RRC.

Ha, I really didn't see that coming so it was really funny. It caught me by complete surprise. The funny thing is that just showing Sonic isn't really funny like that, but just the complete element of surprise was. It actually made me laugh out loud.

The voices and text weren't timed the best. At least on my computer they weren't. The voices could have been just a little bit more clear on this one. Especially Satan's voice.

kinggila responds:

The flash is out of sync, regardless of which computer you're using. Sadly, Flash has syncing issues, but fortunately, they can be fixed.

[Bahamut: ATWI80D 01]

I wish

That the run offs and parodies were all done like this. They wouldn't have been so looked down upon if they were actually flashes instead of a different picture every time. Also, I wouldn't have had so many reviews deleted if they were spammy. >:[

Animation/Graphics - Not the best animation, but I really like the style that you used. I'm actually liking the style so much of just pictures that I've been making a flash with my roommate with the same sort of style. That and it's extremely easy to do. :)

Story/Content - Like I said up above too bad the other parodies and runoffs weren't made as well as these were. It actually included some story. Even though the story is really only funny between a group of people I do understand the story a little bit so I can join in on some of the humor.

Audio - The nice generic music that you used in the first part. I grew to like that music a little bit since I have heard it so many times. The music that you used for the flash sort of ended short didn't it? Also, I had a feeling that the song at the end was from Final Fantasy. I really need to get my hands on a good game like that again. I haven't played one in ages.

I wish you could have used real voices for these older flashes.

Overall - Better than the other parodies. Decent humor, especially with the text that you used at the end.

kinggila responds:

Man, I miss making simple animation. Also, I could record the lines for the older flashes, but that would take the charm away from my oldest stuff.

[ShortShakespeare - Hamlet]

That was awesome. :D

Animation/Graphics - I really enjoy your style of animation. Everything was drawn very good and you did a good job on backgrounds and colors. The animation it self was pretty smooth. All around good job in this area of the flash.

Story/Content - This was really funny. It may have been only 67 seconds, but you packed a lot of humor in those 67 seconds. That's what makes it so funny though. I love the idea of making a movie shorter like this. Kind of reminds me of the idea that I had for a Gone in 60 Seconds movie that a friend and I were going to make. Hell, perhaps we will still make it sometime. Obviously it would be just around 60 seconds.

Audio - You did a good job on the voices. There weren't any spots that sounded too loud, too quiet, staticy, etc... Good music playing in the background also.

Overall - A funny idea for a flash and a funny flash. Good job.

Timsplosion responds:

Yeh, I've been trying to improve my animation quality since Nothing But Random.
I'm glad you found it funny, I really like hearing peoples reactions to my flash.
And I think this is probably the first flash without any audio problems at all! Now I just have to record all my other flash like this. :P
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

[OLD MoBS EP1]

Ha :D

Animation/Graphics - The graphics were really good and the animation was very smooth. Great job all around. Like always, you have a great style of animation that you use.

Story/Content - Lol, the most random flash that I've seen in a long time. A lot of things didn't make any sense at all, but that's exactly how I like flash animations. That's when they are the funniest. I hope you continue on the series, because they are really funny. Character selection and design was done really good.

Sudoku really made me laugh. :D

Audio - The voices really added to the humor of the submission. Great voice acting all around man, but there were some voices that sounded like you needed to back off of the mic a little bit so they weren't so staticy. The music and sound effects were done well too.

Overall - A great movie that I'm going to add right to my favorites. Keep the PM's coming whenever you get a new submission in. :)

tacobuttfish responds:

Hey thanks Corky! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, the sound needs work. We finally have a digital recorder that we can equalize and tinker it to a more "television quality". We'll see you when we launch Episode 2!

[WordJumper]

Good job.

Animation/Graphics - A little sloppy and it's really the only place that I took out any score from your flash, but I almost like the sloppy style. It gives it a nice touch in my opinion. Could just be me on that though. :p Anyway, I like that the words were written out instead of typed. I do think that things like the house, apple, and the stickmen could have been done a bit better. Other than that it was an interesting style.

Story/Content - Hmm, a very original idea. You could build many episodes off of this simple concept of Word Jumping. Who knows, perhaps this will be a very popular series some day. I'd keep coming up with sequels if I was you. So yeah, mega bonus points for coming up with a great original idea with stick figures. I know that can be hard to do.

Audio - Nice background music that you used, but I do think that sound effects could have helped the flash a little better. Stuff like, "Ugghhh" when the stickmen got hit or crashing noises when words were being broken or when they were falling. I don't think you should add voices though as that would obviously defeat the whole purpose of the flash.

Overall - Work on your artwork and animation just a little bit and you could make some popular flashes.

jenno1 responds:

Hey!
Thanks for your review
It was the helpfullest so far :D
I'll appricieate your review.
and im working on more sequels!

[MilkShake Land C3E3 EN]

Good job.

Animation/Graphics - They could have been done a little bit better, but I do like your style a little bit. I think you should include a lot of the in between animations like the characters actually walking and everything. I think that's the thing that would improve the score of your flash the most.

Story/Content - Pretty funny in most parts. The story was pretty funny and I knew this before I even watched it since I translated it for you. Anytime you need more help you know where to get a hold of me. I think the animation part would help the story be a little smoother.

Audio - Probably could work on getting some voices in the near future or something. More sound effects would have been a little better too. My favorite part was when chipmunk and pumpkin showed up and their theme music started to play.

Overall - Good job and I'm happy to translate for you anytime.

Grimasen responds:

Hi, thanks so much for all you've done.

[Happy birthday Afro_Stud!]

I think I saw this before.

I think I watched this one before and never got to actually reviewing it. :S That or just a lot of your flashes look alike.

Animation/Graphics - Kind of cheesy graphics. :P Ha, I myself wouldn't want to animate fire as I can barely animate someone walking, but perhaps the fire on the candles would have looked a little bit better animated. That and how Bahamut was just tweened back and forth for the singing part. Real simple animation and everything.

Story/Content - I have a policy that Birthday flashes and/or anniversary flashes always get a 10/10. (For the most part at least) I guess I will ask this here, but how did this get RCP? :P Ha, oh well I wasn't around when Afro was so I don't know how popular he was. Perhaps there were a lot of people that liked him or perhaps it was your amazing flash skills that won the award. Nice little deleted message at the end of the flash.

Audio - I like the voice much better than the little speaktonia voice thing that you use now and then. It sounds much better. Sound effects and everything else was pretty decent.

Overall - Here's to a super late happy birthday. Happy Birthday.

kinggila responds:

Actually, when Bahamut was singing, that wasn't tweened.

Also, Afro_Stud was pretty popular back then, so there were a lot of 10s when this was submitted.
