Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Broken-]

Not bad at all.

I struggled between a 6 and a 7, but I feel like giving it a 7. =P

Animation/Graphics - The drawing style that you have is interesting. It's very simple, but yet it gets the job done. Sometimes simple is all that you needed in this flash I think the simple drawings and animation was good enough. Great sad colors and everything. The plain background gives you the feeling of emptiness, which I think you were going for with it. The walking style made me smile a little bit, but again it was an interesting style of animation.

Story/Content - I think you could have improved this by a lot. I get what you are trying to do by showing the sadness and everything, but it's a little too short content wise. I think you should have added more things that went by in the backgrounds such as sad memories that he had or things like a couple holding hands, which just makes his sadness/loneliness even deeper than it was before.

Audio - Maybe a few more sounds effects, but that would come with adding more content to the flash if you so choose to. I think that the song that you chose was a very good one and I might have to stop by the audio portal and review it sometime. It really set the mood for the flash.

Overall - I think it was pretty good, but it would be really good if you added more content to it. Not only does this make it longer, but it can really add to the sadness of the submission and everything.

Insanimation responds:

Thanks for the review! That was some really great criticism which I certainly may take into account for future flashes..

[lalalooloo]

Hmm...

Animation/Graphics - Not too good at all. A couple of random drawings that look like they have been tweened together, which loop... Nothing really here to comment on other than the drawings need to be done much better and the animation needs to be much smoother.

Story/Content - A few random pictures.. again nothing really to comment about here. When a stickman falling on a sharp object and dies is the main content to your flash, which doesn't last more than a couple of seconds before it loops than you know you are really lacking on content. Even if a flash doesn't have a story.. this really didn't have much of anything at all.

Audio - Woo, 1 point for adding some nice audio, but sadly nice audio doesn't make a nice flash submission.

Overall - You could just change the Genre of this to Spam to give it a better classification because that's basically what it is, whether you meant it to be or not. If this was a serious submission then you need to add many more scenes to your loop and work on the animation and graphics a lot.

mikkim responds:

no, they wern't tweened. and the animation IS smooth. AND IT'S ACTION, NOT SPAM! }:>(

[Cows Pooping]

Lol

Animation/Graphics - Very nicely done. Smooth animation and smooth drawings. Colors were very full and everything seemed very fitting in the flash. The backgrounds, cow, the act of pooping, etc.. Pretty good all around.

Story - A very short film, but still it made me laugh. The thing is it was exactly what I thought it was going to be and for some reason it still caught me by complete surprise, which is weird since I knew it was coming. Ha, other than being so short there really isn't much more to critique here.

Audio - Nice audio here. I think the biggest reason that the whole flash caught me by surprise was because of the intensity of the noise that the pooping made. >.< Ha, I do think that you should have changed the music up a little bit though when the cow did poop to something more evil or something of the sort. Just changing it up a little bit would have sounded better in my opinion.

Overall - A very funny submission for the content that is in it. Probably deserve a little bit of a higher score than it has.

Imacow responds:

Thanks, pretty low score for this. It's all about the way you present it which is pretty depressing.

[Happy Birthday Yoshi77777]

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Birthday to you. So he is finally old enough to be on this site now? Nice. ;) Ha, hope its a good one. Oh yeah, good flash and everything too, etc..

Elite-Sniper responds:

This was my first ever one-framer.

[Ghost Motel 3]

A lot better!

Comments before actual review - A great improvement from the last two. Great job guys.

Animation/Graphics - Wow, much better than the last two episodes. The quality of the animation was much better and the drawings were much cleaner. Great job on improving these things in such a short amount of time between episodes.

Story/Content - A little less interactivity in these ones, but still a great job making sure there was something involved there. The story just keeps getting better and better. You guys did a really good job getting me involved in this series.

Audio - The voices were much better and much clearer. They weren't the same robotic dry voices that you used in the first two.

Overall - An amazing improvement from the first two to this one. I hope there is even more improvement to the next ones.

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks yeah we have always read reviews from each movie/game and try to improve on those points as much as we can, we also before each episode sit down and go over each script and see how we can improve the writing portion of it all.

[Ghost Motel 2]

Alright..

Comments before actual review - I can see this is an improvement from the last episode, but it still isn't enough to improve my rating from 7 to 9.

Animation/Graphics - Just about the same as last time, but it does look like perhaps the animation is just a bit smoother than before. Sometimes the animation of the mouth didn't always sync up with the voices though.

Story/Content - I like where the story is going. This is actually one of the first flash series that I have watched in a long time that had a fun story line to it and kept me involved. I'm going to have to start watching more series like this. :D Anyway, I like the interactivity and everything else.

Audio - The voices were still very poor. There aren't any emotion put into them. It's almost like a robot is making them. I know they are ghosts and everything, but it's just a little too much I think.

Overall - A better story line and it's getting me involved in the story, but the voices need a lot of work.

Violet-AIM responds:

Yeah like i said before it was a learning experience for both of us but they do get better, Thank you for the review.

[Permaneo Unus]

Not bad.

I've seen a lot of these on Newgrounds lately or at least a lot of them have been coming in through the review request club. I saw a couple of errors every now and then where it looked like one of the black boxes were out of place or it looked like something wasn't lined up the right way. Those could have been cleaned up a little bit to make it better. Also, the length of the submission is what really got me I guess. It should have been much longer and you should have drawn out different patterns with the blocks. Any pictures that you could have made would have probably been a great thing to do. At the end, THE END didn't really show up as great as it should have been. Perhaps the use of smaller squares would have given you enough room to space it out properly. Maybe you could have added a couple of other backgrounds and colors, without overdoing it and making it one of those flashing color/light submissions, which will put someone into a seizure. Anyway, probably deserves around a 6 or a 7, but since I just gave you an 8 on two spam submissions, which I found humorous, I will instead give you a 9 for effort. You should come back and try this again sometime.

Sidorio responds:

Ouch, I nearly hit my head on that wall of text.

[I'd Like To Apologise]

Ha.

Well I obvioulsy knew what was going to happen right from the start of the flash and just by looking at the title. So pretty much predictable, boring, unoriginal, etc.. At least that was my thought until I read, "When people point this out to me, I often insult them or make an irrelevant comment about raping their children." Ha, that got me to laugh man. That made this flash right here. While the rest of it was predictable, you still managed to slip in humor with that comment right there. Also, the randomness towards the end was much needed in a flash submission like this. Props for making it funny.

Sidorio responds:

Fuck you, I'm going to rape your kids for this.
