Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paid In Full]

Hmmm

Animation/Graphics - The first thing that I noticed was that yes the drawings weren't very good. :P I think that if you worked on some characters instead of some circles that the flash would have been much better. Let's forget about that for a little bit though and just talk about the animation itself. I think you could have gotten the circle characters to work if you worked on the environment of the flash a little bit. Making the background more detailed such as giving the place walls, ceiling, floors, background items, etc... Also being able to see a bullet hitting the guys would have made it just a tad bit better. All things that could be worked on.

Story/Content - Not very original. Looks like something a beginner would make in flash. You had the generic couple of kills and even the generic dance club thing that surprising a lot of flashes have. So perhaps a background story would be nice instead of just random killing and everything. I do like the menus though they are well presented. The introduction of the flash and the skip button was also very nice even though I didn't use the skip button so I assumed that it worked well.

Audio - You had good audio here with the music and the gun sound effects. The only room you would have for more audio or to improve the audio in the submission would to be adding more to the story to give yourself more opportunities.

Overall - The generic fighting scene. I think the two biggest things that need to improve is a story and some better graphics.

Okay, thanks for another nice long review Corky.

[Boof- Periodical Draw]

A lot to improve on.

Animation/Graphics - The drawing wasn't the best. I think if I were to submit something like this that I would try making something extremely good. The picture that you drew ended up looking just like something that most people could draw in a very short amount of time like you did here. I know this is a commonly used phrase, but practice does make perfect.

Story/Content - Well a pretty good idea, but I think you could have made it much better. I think you could have done something like draw a background or some other things with him too to add to the flash submission a little bit. Perhaps do something like adding animation to it. Like you could draw the characters a little bit smaller and draw the character you did off to the one side of the screen. Have him actually animated a little bit like move his arm up and down and blink, etc... Then draw a bad guy off to the right of the screen. Have them react to each other in some way and then you could draw a weapon that drops down to the character so they could get the bad guy.

I'm not recommending doing that itself, but I'm just trying to give examples of how to add to the content of the flash.

Audio - I liked the audio that you chose, but I think it would of sounded really good if you had a marker, pencil, pen, or chalk sound effect when the character was being drawn. That would mean you would need some good ambient music that stayed in the background so you could always hear the drawing sounds.

Overall - A decent idea, but it wasn't really presented that well.

Ok thanks.

[Precious Little Chicken]

Good animation.

Animation/Graphics - The animation and graphics were very good. Looks like you are pretty good at drawing. The animation was smooth and everything seemed perfectly fine.

Story/Content - Very short.. I don't know if it makes a great flash all by itself, but what you had was alright. I really didn't find anything too funny about the content or the story of the flash though. That's why I think you could have built up to it and made it a bit longer. Maybe having here take eggs from the chicken, feed it, etc... For maybe a day or two and then have the chicken just kill her randomly. Perhaps it would have been a little bit harder to predict and would surprise the audience more.

Credits - The credits get a little section by themselves this time around. :D Ha, they were by far the best part in terms of humor in the entire flash. So to anyone who may be reading my review, WATCH THE CREDITS. They are good.

Audio - Ha, this is a part that I found funny. I liked the voice of the woman and the voice/music that you used during the credits. The music and sound effects that you used during the flash part itself was also pretty good.

Overall - The credits make the submission, but the animation itself is done very well.

ForNoReason responds:

Yeah, I wrote this script when I was just starting to write seriously. I am curious on how it is so predictable, Ive heard that a lot about this flash lol. I was thinking about rewriting the story a little and maybe having a 4 year anniversary of the flash or something. I would just have to get an animator again lol. Maybe "Precious Little Chicken REDUX!" I dont know. Anyway thanks for your comments!

[Old Lady Vs. Chicken]

Needs a little work.

Animation/Graphics - The animation and drawing styles were different and original. That's nice to see now and then and the style you used was pretty interesting. That being said it was very simple, but I think it did get the job done.

Story/Content - Hmm, rather short. Perhaps it would be alright as a collab part or something, but it really wasn't overly funny in my opinion. The only time that I really like submissions this short is when they are funny or completely random. Kind of predictable, which may have took the humor out of it. The text that you used for what the woman said to the chicken went by very fast. I had to watch through a second time just to see what it said. Perhaps a play and a replay button would also add to the flash.

Audio - I think instead of having the text you could have used voice acting. If you wanted to keep the text adding voices would still probably sound pretty good. Other than that pretty good sound effects and pretty good choice of music all around.

Overall - The animation and audio was decent, but there could be more content in the flash to make it interesting to the viewers.

Thank you!

[Once When I Was A Kid SE]

LOL

Animation/Graphics - Very superior graphics and animation here man. Very smooth all around and very well drawn. Probably the best animated flash that I have seen today so far. I may just have to visit some of your other flashes if they are drawn this well.

Story/Concept - Wow, didn't see that coming at all. That usually deserves a 10/10 on it's own for complete originality, but the fact that it was so funny I knew it couldn't be any less than a 10/10 from me. You had great originality, humor, and a great surprise factor. I just thought he was going to talk about getting a boner or something like that.

Audio - Good voice acting, good sound effects, good music, etc... Nothing wrong with the audio at all.

Overall - It really made me laugh. Great job and I'm sure I'll come by and check out some of your other flashes also.

tacobuttfish responds:

Man, thanks a lot we work hard and improve with each flash and it is so good to see that it's paying off when people enjoy our stuff! Seriously though, we're pouring heart and SOUL into Mark of the Beast Snack which for now you can only watch the Intro / Opening but we're finishing up on the voice acting and sound effects on the first episode so it's coming soon! Thanks for the good review and for watching! If you add us to your faves we'll contact you anytime we release something new via PM *unless of course you ask us not to* Thanks once again

[Join The Red Bull Collab!]

Nicely done.

Animation/Graphics - Very nicely drawn and animated. If the collab is full of things like this then I'm sure it will end up being very good. The animation was really smooth.

Story/Concept - I've always seen some advertisement flashes like this before, but I never really saw one that was this well animated. So of course if I was good with flash I wouldn't think twice about joining this collab. Of course I'm not so you don't have to worry about me joining. :P

Audio - Good audio and good sound effects all around.

Overall - A good advertisement and I hope that your collab turns out well.

Vincoid responds:

Thanks a lot Corky, I appreciate it.

I'll probably be animating a few parts for the collab myself, and I trust the quality of the entire thing will turn out great.

Too bad you're not an animator, though you make it up by being generally awesome :P

Thanks again for the review and the compliments ;D
