Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Last Hour: Chapter 3]

Well..

I'm really not going to waste my time writing a helpful reviews, because by reading the other reviews and your author comments to them this whole thing is just a spammy joke. Please don't waste the time of the review request club with submissions like this if you are joking. We want actual flash artists who are looking for helpful reviews.

Animation/Graphics - I could honestly copy and paste everything from my last review except for that this time you did have more animation with the lips moving and the arm moving, which is the only reason you got one more point on the rating from me.

Story - Nothing here, too short, just crap. It needs a lot of work and when I say a lot I mean a lot.

Audio - The voices are shit sorry to tell you, but they did go alright with the animation of the mouths. Not great, but not too bad.

Overall, if this is anywhere near being serious then please put more work into your submissions.

i put more work into my newest chapter, chapter 5. i hear that the intros suck, so i decided to shorten it, and get to the point. plus i made a skip button so you guys can skip it. i'm still new at flash and i got a lot to learn. anyways there are more animation and better drawing on the next one. check out chapter 5 please. i swear it won't disappoint.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 2]

Well..

First I do have to ask you a question. Your you being serious when you made this or were you just fooling around? If your were being serious then I will try to write a helpful review for you, but if you were just messing around then your animation is only a little better then a spam submission at the best.

Animation/Graphics - Well drawings weren't that bad, but they still weren't very good. The text was neat and was very easy to read, but I found that it may have dragged on too long. The text could of went just a little faster because I could read what was there several times over. There wasn't really any animations except for a few things moving now and then, so you made want to include actual animation in your flash next time.

Story - It almost looks like you have an alright story, but the flash doesn't show the story that you told at all. It's like you have this story written out, but you only show a couple of seconds of flash expecting that it covers it and it really doesn't. So it's not the story that needs work it's the flash matching with the story that you need to work on.

Audio - The music was good, but that was the only thing good about the audio of this submission. The voices were absolutely terrible. If these are your voices then you may want to think about having someone voice act for you and if these are a voice actors voice then you need to fire them and get a new one.

Overall, a very poor flash that needs a lot of work to be anywhere close to being good.

Jaiba responds:

my audio converter file sucked. it slowed down my audio files when i was converting it to .wav. so it lagged, but i fixed that error. i've worked on my drawing and jaiba productions are working on the voice actors. if you haven't already seen chapter 5. see it. it will show our great improvement from chapter 1. maybe that chapter shall redeem our previous movies which were amateurish because we are still learning.

[When I'm Running]

Ha, very nicely done.

Animation/Graphics - I couldn't seem to find anything wrong with the animation or drawings except for they were very simple. You basically used the same thing throughout the entire movie. Maybe you could of added a bit more variety in his running to make it not seem so robot like if that makes any sense.

Story - I think any of us that run can relate to the story of this flash. I personally don't think of dinosaurs, but I tend to think more of track races that I have been in where they were really close and I imagine that I'm in the race. If I thought of any animal chasing me then it would be bees because I'm deadly allergic to bees and just as scared. If that didn't get me running fast then nothing would.

Audio - You had a great variety of audio here so very good in this section.

Overall, a nice short flash in which I know people will be able to relate to.

OxSox responds:

Your right I think that the running loop was to obvious the only reason I didn't make the loop longer with more variety is that running fbf is so time consuming. I think that when one single animation is so central to the movie (and prominently placed) your right to suggest I put more time in it.

I use different things at different times to keep running, I definitely use running in races too, but the dinosaur made for the best cartoon I thought. Also I'm not allergic, but bees bother me too...

Thanks for the review!

[Newgrounds: A History]

Well...

Animation/Graphics - Pretty good for a slideshow type flash actually. Nothing too great and nothing too exciting, but it got the job done. I personally don't mind the slideshow type flashes as long as they have good information and decent audio.

Story - A lot of information and the flash was actually great in length. It's not the most interesting subject for people, but now and then things do need to be informative instead of fun. Not bad here.

Audio - The audio was all around alright, but you do have to admit that the voice kind of dragged on and made the movie sort of boring.

Overall, not too bad, but could use somethings to spice it up a little.

Thanks for the review!

[Lightsaber Showoff]

Ha.

First, I must say don't listen to the people that are saying put this on youtube. They just don't understand that newgrounds is allowed to have live action scenes exactly like this. Hell I just made a live action star wars movie not too long ago and only got one youtube comment, so I guess I was lucky.

Animation/Graphics - Good, you didn't mess up at all with the lightsaber. Did you use LS Maker? I'm sure you did because I don't know any other program to use for this, but if you used something different what was it?

Story - Sorry, but I do have to rate your movie low because you really didn't have any story. A movie doesn't always need a story, but yours was also very very short and basically had no content in it.

Audio - Good job with the audio here. You synced the lightsaber noises pretty good. I would of liked to saw some star wars music playing in the background though. That could of helped your rating a little.

Overall, keep working with this live action stuff. I like to watch it and I think that it can be interesting if you make a story with it.

ChilliMasta responds:

Thankyou very much I made the lightsaber using a red bar then bluring it to about 20 and gave it a red glow both from filters. I will put a soundtrack in next time and i will have a proper plot, this was just to show off my skills!

[Star Fox: Loopy Battle]

Good job.

Animation/Graphics - I'm really starting to enjoy your movies and I hope you start too make many more of them. I really like your style of animation so keep up the good work. Just like your last movie I reviewed there wasn't really anyway to improve the animation at all.

Story - Great humor and it kept me entertained throughout the entire thing. I just had a feeling that the loop at the end was going to happen before it actually did though. Good job here.

Audio - Good music, sound effects, and voice overs. Nothing really more to say about that.

Overall, a great job and I'm looking forward to your future animations.

MCYoshi responds:

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you see the work I put into my movies. It's great to know there are those who truly enjoy them.

[SSBB: Pit's Wii Remote]

Really good for what was there.

Animation/Graphics - This is actually really well done in terms of animation. It's actually one of the better jobs I have ever seen done animating so good job there. I couldn't find anything to critique.

Story - Nice little story here, which had some humor in it. I so wish it would of been longer though. I think if it would of been just a bit longer then I would of given your flash a 10/10 rating.

Audio - I couldn't find anything wrong with the audio. Voices, sounds, and music all seemed to be very well done.

Overall, it would of been longer, but other then that almost perfect.

MCYoshi responds:

Yeah I kept this one short since it was my first submission. It had been a while since I had done a flash and the ones before, let's just say, don't compare. Anyway, thanks for the review.

[Knife Shorts 1]

A couple of things.

First of all 10/10 and 5/5 to return the favor. Also, is that you in the video Murad or is that Scumball?

Animation/Graphics - I know that adding animation to live action isn't the easiest thing as I know from my own experiences in my own flashes. This would of been nice if you could of made the blood more realistic though. Also, the stickmen could of been drawn better. I know stickmen are pretty simple to draw, but it looks like to me that they were really rushed. Next time take more time on the graphics.

Story - I know animations like this don't really involve a story line, but there should of been something else then just a guy holding a knife and killing some stick men. The easiest way to improve the story at all would be just to make the flash a bit longer next time.

Audio - It's nice that you had music playing in the background, but I don't think that would of been my choice of a song. Sound effects would of been a really nice addition too.

Overall, this needs a lot of work, but keep at it.

SCUMBALL responds:

Alright Corks, I'll make the second one, just to show everyone how much I've improved, later.

[Ruptonia Trailer]

Not too bad.

Animation / Graphics - Not too bad, but honestly very rough at best. This could of been improved simply if the drawings had been done just a bit better. I think that if that was done it would greatly improve the score of your submission.

Story - This is one of the reason you got the rank that you received from me. The story was pretty good and you even added a little humor to it.

Audio - The audio was the other reason that you received the rating from me that you did. The sound effects were pretty good, even if they weren't always timed the best. The voices were very good for the flash and also the music seemed to fit well.

Overall, just improve the graphics and this will be a really good flash.

DPlato responds:

thank you Corky52 and the Review Request Crew

[Please help me!]

Pretty good.

Animation / Graphics - I understand that you were going for that simple black and white style, so I won't say anything like you should of added colors. I actually think that colors would of made the movie just a bit worse in my opinion. What would of really made this movie good though is if the drawings would of been done a bit better. They seemed rough at best, but if they were improved I could also see your score greatly improved.

Story - It's always nice to see music put with animation. I enjoy watching music videos like this sometimes and it wasn't boring or anything. Good job.

Audio - How do you rate audio on a music video? Ha, I guess you rate it on how well it ran with the animation. I thought it was pretty smooth with the animation, but like said before the animation was rough at times so that could improve how the audio ran with the flash.

Overall, a nice music video which could be improved a little.
