Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bahamut: ATIO80W 02]

I loved it.

Animation/Graphics - The entire flash wasn't the best quality, but it wasn't too bad overall. Like the quality of the FAQ page wasn't the best, but I think what you had of it worked out for the flash.

Story/Content - Wow, I don't know how many people need to listen to the reasoning behind this flash. Not only for blowing your whistle on flashes, but also for writing reviews. On top of that if people just left the submissions that they didn't like alone such as the Hitler series here then they didn't have to watch it and review it. Just leave the vote and leave the submission alone. There probably wouldn't be any need for review mods if people just left the submissions alone that they didn't like.

It caught me by surprise because I thought this was going to be just a simple picture with Bahamut there at a website or something like that, but it turned into a rage filled expression. I loved the concept all around.

Audio - I so wish you would have used your voice for this, but I think it's probably a good thing in the long run that you didn't because you would have had to read the entire FAQ section that you had there. So it did make the flash a little bit more uninteresting, but you saved yourself a lot of trouble in the end. Also, the music just kind of stops. :P

Overall - The message behind the flash is awesome.

And this was back when there was only Adolf Hitler: ATWI80W. 80 was manageable, but the Pokemon series was overkill.

[The Mighty Quinn]

Not bad

First off thank you very much for the two reviews that you gave me on my submissions. It was greatly appreciated. Secondly, I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to reviewing this. I was a little busy. On to the review.

Animation/Graphics - I think for the most part you did pretty good. The drawing style was just a little rough and perhaps a little simple. If you worked on your drawing of the people and some other things a little more I couldn't see this getting anything less than a 8 to a 10 on a review.

For the most part the animation was pretty smooth. The way that you focused on the pigeons was great. Small details like that is really what makes submissions good.

Story/Content - It's usually nice to here a music video and this one was a pretty good one. Nice simple content and everything. The animation went along great with the audio and that's basically what the content of a music video should be judged on. Nice use of animations and you barely used the words, which I liked. Sometimes people get into the whole flashy word thing too much and I think you used a nice amount of it.

Audio - Of course the audio was good since it was a music video and everything. It was an interesting song to choose. It seemed like a difficult one to make a video off of, but that could be because I didn't really know what the song was about. I've actually never heard of or heard the song at all before.

Overall - The flash was a good music video. The only thing that you need to work on is probably your drawing skills a little bit. Other than that it was pretty good.

CSanimations responds:

Thanks. Yeah, I'm all ready workin on my next one, and working on drawing more closely.

[13th - GOATSE]

Kind of short

Animation/Graphics - The drawing could have been just a little bit better, but it wasn't too bad. Decent smooth animation, but like always very simple animation. Pretty much the same thing for the other reviews I have given.

Story/Content - Ha, kind of funny. I of course don't understand everything completely, but from what I got from the submission it was pretty funny. I enjoyed the whole part with the computer. (Even though that was basically the whole thing) Kind of on the short side and could have been a bit longer than it was. So a little more content would have been a little better.

Audio - I hate that voice. :P Oh well, it kind of makes the submission funny, but you could have also got a voice actor. Kind of late now as the submission is from 2006. Like I said though the voice kind of makes the submission funny.

Overall - Could have been a bit longer, but other than that a nice comical short flash submission.

kinggila responds:

Very true. If this was made at a much later date, it would have been Pokelorrd doing the voice. :)

[:]

Not too bad.

Animation/Graphics - Again, the animation was very smooth even though it was sprites and very basic. I liked the nice effect where as Mario ran across the screen that the background moved instead of him just like a real game. Something that I have to start doing in my sprite movies that I'm making. Some of it was kind of weird as Sonic just randomly jumped from places to places with no animation in between.

Story/Content - Basically another music video that you made here. I liked how it had the animation in the beginning, but as soon as it was just Mario standing there and Sonic was just spinning it got kind of boring. So I rather see the animation continue from there instead of just the same thing happening for the rest of the video.

Audio - The audio was great again. It was probably the only reason that I finished watching the flash when Sonic and Mario were just there towards the end of the flash.

Overall - I would have rather seen you finish the animation to the song, but the parts that you had were pretty good.

kinggila responds:

Ah, the beginning of the silly fight.

Thanks again Corky. :)

[Cigaro]

Good job

Animation/Graphics - The animation was pretty smooth, but also pretty basic. I think the best thing that you animated was the mouth. It actually gave me a basic idea how to animate a mouth while still being pretty easy to do. I liked the fast movement that looked like it represented head banging.

Story/Content - I enjoy music videos sometimes and this one was pretty good. The only thing that I could recommend would be to add some more content to the flash like have them do some of the things that they are singing about. Well perhaps not so much in this one though. :P

Audio - The audio was great. If I was going to watch a music video today I'm happy that it was something heavier like this. Let alone a very funny song. The audio was a great choice to make a song about.

Overall - Maybe it could have used a little more animation and a little more content in the flash itself, but pretty fun to watch and listen to.

kinggila responds:

CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I LOVE MY COCK?!

[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.

Frenzy responds:

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.

McZero responds:

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!
