Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BBS Moderators]

Okay

Well, it wasn't terrible that's for sure, but I can't say it was all to great either, the drawing was good, the best thing about it, though you could have drawn the gun so it would fit in with the rest, but other than that, I can't see anything faulty with the drawing.

The style was pritty much simler to Tankmen, since that's what you used, lol, I haven't seen a Tankmen style flash in a while, but you seem to have got the graphics to match it somewhat, so that's good, though if you had used more in it like a group talking as they would on the BBS, then it could have been longer really.

The sound, it was good, well the music was, you could have added a whistling noise to the beginning part just to add more sound, but otherwise, the music was good. The voice however was kind of unclear, maybe just work on that, but it wasn't terrible :)

A gun fired, pritty much all the violence here, no blood, but I didn't expect to see any, lol, so yeah, can't give you much for violence.
Not much interactivity either, but then, it's not a game so I didn't expect there to be, lol.

It was kind of funny, but not HAHA funny, just a smile really, it was alittle too short and somewhat expected, so I can't really say it was that funny, sorry.

Overall, I think you could have probably made this somewhat longer and worked alittle more on the sound effects and voices, but no need to change much graphic or animation wise, it was pritty decent.

Keep it up.

2/5

[PSE project: Stress!]

Hehe :D

That was actually quite funny, very fast paced, though that adds somewhat to the humor in my opinion. The graphics could be better in places, but whatever eh? I still liked it regardless of how it looked.
The voice recording could have been alittle better in parts, but still, it wasn't terrible, still pritty clear.

Some of the jokes may have seemed somewhat pointless but most of it was fine for me, I don't see what you where aiming for though, I didn't learn anything new about stress :P

All in all though, very funny, just try adding some backgorunds to places to give more atmosphear or somthing, background always looks nice behind people or buildings or whatever, you know?
Yeah :D

Anyway, keep it up.

5/5

DAGamesOfficial responds:

thanx for gewd review! As I said in the las review, there were certain parts to the movie were there weren't actually MEANT to have backgrounds in! But ah well, eh? lol thanx for 9 and more coming soon

[Heartbeats]

Good Job Hoogie :D

Well, that was very good :D
The graphics, althoug got more and more random as it went on where good, keeping them sort of related might have looked better though, lol. The animation did go with the music somewhat, so that was nice, I did like the beginning section over that last bit, lol.

The sound was good, so no problems there and it seemed to work in well with the rest, so yeah, I can't see a real problem.
I've not got anything else to say other than I enjoyed this, lol :D

Congrats on Daily 4th.
And keep it up :D

5/5

Hoogiman responds:

Thanks Rena. :)

[HyperJerk:Ace Attourney]

HAHA! Nice Take!

That was cirtainly very diffrent, I'll give you credit for that, really nice work, the art and such was good too. I liked how you used the Dragonball reference, lol, that was worked in well.
There's not much more I can say, other than it was alittle short, but that didn't really bother me in this case, since it was still very good.

Not only did you use PW backgrounds, you used your own art too which seemed to work great for this. However the Judges voice didn't sound very clear to me :/

Anyway, still very good.
Hope to see more from you.

4/5

HyperJerk responds:

Thanks for the Thoughtful Comment

[WAKA-LAKA]

HAHA!

This is just plain amazing, lol P:
I know you've done alot of this FBF, so good job there, lol and the sound is cool, too bad it's alittle short but nevermind it is very cool :D
I liked this alot even though it did lack colour, it was done really well and did fit in with the music, good job there.

The quality of sound seemed alittle off to me but that might have been a headphone problem, still, it was good enough for me, lol.

Good job :D

5/5

mugnus responds:

Yeah the sound is a little crappy. I don't think it is that important to have colour in this. With the plain white background and only the animation you can focus better on that action and that is more important than a beautiful background. Anyways thanks for your long review.

[PW: Inspired Justice 2]

Could use work

Well, for one, the graphics did look alittle blured in parts, like they where distorted and some of the sprites you used just didn't fit in with the background they where used in because of the cut off marks.

The quality of sound was also another thing I came upon, it was pritty poor, some sounds where really crackly and others where muffled, try adjusting the quality of the sound when you come to export it.
And the actual sound clips you used, I didn't really find most of them funny, try to use a wider selection of sounds.

Also, the quality of the buttons, they looked very poor, although they did do there job fine, they just didn't look very good, try to improve the look of them.

The ending was probably the best part, not because it was over but because you used other sprites along with the PW sprites, that was good in a way.

Anyway, just fix up the sound and graphics problems and I'm sure you can make a better one :)

Good luck with future flash words.

2/5

Sunrie responds:

I don't know how, why, or where they sprites looked blurred. Unless, of course, you're talking about some of the ending sprites which were resized to fit the backgrounds. Traced bitmap 1, 1, pixels, so they came out how they looked originally. As for the cutoff marks, you're really picking straws with it. Look at previous Phoenix Wrongs and you can see a lot worse.

If the sound seems poor, it's because of your system, not because of the animation. All audio was edited outside of Flash in Sony Vegas Professional 6.0 and optimized in Flash on the export. As for the variety of sounds, it was 7 different movie quotes and 7 different songs...how much wider variety do you want?

The buttons were poor, but did their job? Talk about nit-picking. I wasn't about to spend another 40 minutes developing uber looking buttons for a simple click task at the END of the movie. Had they been important during the rest of the animation, then of course they would recieved more attention. Talk about paper-tiger syndrome.

The ending did take the most time and is one of my favorite scenes. I was going for a "never-ending party" thing.

There are no graphic and sound problems. This is one of the higher Phoenix Wrong submissions on the Portal, lead only by three others, so I don't really think "a better one" is the correct statement to make.

I think you mean "future flash works". Good luck on future flash reviews and grammar.

2/5 for at least writing understandably

[N00bKebob #25]

Wow :D

Some parts definatly stood out more than others especilly with so many parts this time, lol, I actually liked kings the most though, even though it was lacking art, it was the funniest of them.
There was a huge mix of styles here that's for sure, you can't see it as much in the other Kebobs but in this one you can because of the large number.

I think this is by far the best Kebob produced :D

Good job to everyone who made a part :)

5/5

<3

N00bNation responds:

Its good that we got many parts of different styles yes. But people should really put some more time into their parts. Me included. As the deadlines are quite long.

[Fire Emblem: Sacred Stone]

It's okay...

It's okay but it needs alittle work, such as the graphics, they seem very rough as does the animation with those graphics. The backgrounds could also do with some work, I could see white in parts where you zoomed out, work on that maybe.

The sound is fine but I feel you could have gotten some voices insted of using text, since voices give your charectors more life and such, also means the viewer can concetrate on the animation and not the text.

The font you used didn't really work to well and having the speech bubbles there just didn't really work, I mean, you could have had the text at the bottom of the screen and a small image of the charector next to it to show who is speaking. Consider that if you do diolog in this way next time :)

Other than that, it's a pritty decent start, just need to work on a few things.

Keep trying.

3/5

[[PP] Dfjdf War]

Simple yet funny

Haha! The graphics here where very simple and the actual point to this is really quite random indeed, especilly the text and such, lol P:
The ending wasn't really predictable and that's what made this funny, lol :D

Although it could have been improved alot with the graphics, it wouldn't be as funny if it looked better, but some people just like looks :/

Ahwell, I found it funny :D

Good job and keep it up my ninja friend.

5/5

<3

NinjaPanda responds:

Thanks, dear. <3 ^^

[-Tier-]

Dancing Bananas Okay

Well, it was okay I suppose, though I have seen some of the things you used here before, lol, you did tell me why already but still, that's one thing I didn't like about this.
Can't fault the sound, it is clear as day, nothing wrong with it, nope, not that I can see anyway, haha.

All the animation here fits in with the sound somewhat, so that's good, especially for a music video, if the sound didn't fit in with the animation, it wouldn't be very good now would it? :D

You've kept with your usual style of doing animations so the graphics are pritty much the same as always, but that's good, I like the way you draw things, I can't draw like you P:

Some pritty random stuff going on in this too, but I wouldn't expect anything diffrent from you, lol. One of the longest animations I have seen from you, which is also a good thing :D

Keep it up and maybe make more bigger animations.

5/5
