Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[man hand]

You drew a very good hand, well done! I can't really draw hands at all, it also poked a thing, so, good! I don't really have much else to say outside of the obvious, really needs more depth, sound, and all that. Although I would have settled for a bit of sound, just for amusement value.

Anyway, it's a very nice hand, so I can give you half a point for that!

scribelkid responds:

yeah I know I don't know how to put sounds in in flash I'm in 7th grade I made it in a short a mount of time but thanks for checking it out im still learning animation

[A Child's Dream]

The still art looks good, the backgrounds are quite solid, however I think there is a bit of a disconnect between those and the animations. A bit more shading might help, but also some of the walking seems slower than the legs moving, so that's an area to look at improving on.

You might benefit from having some sound effects when running through things, like the grass, or simple rabbit noises, just little things that will add to the overall feeling of the animation. Otherwise, it's a good start, and with practice, you should get better!

TaraFlorine responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I totally understand what you mean haha, I'll work on that!

[House of Apparition]

Pretty Good

I liked the story to this flash, I thought it was pretty good, I do think that the ending could have had a bit more work done to it and the voice acting for Shaun could have done with some improvement, the rest was pretty good though. The way the sound has been edited to sound like it came from diffrent sides when the camera switched focus was also pretty good and not too harsh with headphones.

Music and other sound effects worked pretty well, I do feel more time was put into the background artwork than the character artwork but that doesn't matter too much, it was all still good and decent animation too. I'm glad you had subtitles too but I do think you could have had an option to turn these on and off, minor thing, but the voice acting was clear enough to hear what was said.

Overall, I enjoyed this flash and it was a pretty good story.

5/5

Twisted4000 responds:

Thank you very much. And you're correct, the backgrounds were done in Photoshop and more time was put into them. I hope for my next animations to have more shadow, details, and overall, more depth in the characters.

Some people said the voices were unclear at some parts, though, I thought it wasn't necessary for an on/off switch for the subtitles, but hey, not everyone agrees with everything, I suppose.

[Fucking Wasted]

Pretty Cool

My favourite part about this flash was the easter egg, who worked on that artistic masterpeice? Well anyway, the rest of it is pretty good as well. The parts seem to transition very well, the menu looked good and overall, I have to say it was pretty amusing, although it suffers from the same thing a lot of collabs do in the wide contrast of artistic talent.

Anyway, I liked it, didn't think I would to start with, not a huge fan of the song personally but the audio quality came out well and all the parts had something worth looking at in them, so that makes it good for me! So overall, good work, I look forward to see more collabs like this.

5/5

[Soldier Is Clock!]

Alright

I do like Team Fotress 2 and the videos that use sound from the game to make diolog can be pretty clever, although it might have looked a little better if it was fully animated but as it is, it still looks pretty decent, the audio quality is nice too. I do think that you should have had an ending screen with a replay button or something, I heard a bit of sound at the end that I don't think should have been there as well.

Anyway, as far as Clock Day flash go, I think it was one of the better ones I saw that day, it fits in with the theme pretty nicly and obviously has the letter B in it. So yeah, overall, good job and happy late Clock Day.

4/5

kinggila responds:

I would have loved more animation to this movie but I feared the clips would make the filesize too big so I had to go without them. :(

[[SOUP] CD -- The Offering]

Pretty Good

I do remember the flash reference that you started this flash with, which was very good to hear again, lol. It's probably one of the best rushed Clockday flash I have seen, I know I couldn't do better. The graphics are alright, they are very smooth and shiny, I do like that and the simplistic style.

The voice acting is good, although the sound quality does need to be higher, don't know if that's a mic issue or not and it's nice that you stuck with computer generated voice for the clocks, it's pretty fitting. Everything comes together very well here, good work.

Happy late Clockday.

5/5

Dosensuppen responds:

Simplisty is what I do best. And I would never stray the Clocks away from speakonia.

[The Many Faces of B]

B for Basic

It's a very basic flash and I know this is reviewing after the event, I can also see that it possibly took a while to make so many frames and changing the font of the text as well as the title text. In that sense, it's pretty creative but there's not a whole lot else to this other than that.

You could have stuck some music on the top of this, something quiet and added a mute button, it would have added a little more to this flash. As it is, I don't think it's that entertaining, more of an art peice, which is why it should really have had some music.

Anyway, happy late Clockday.

3/5

Powerage responds:

Looking over this flash, yeah I agree with you, this could have been better with some quiet music, my skills in flash aren't that great though.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Little-Rena, I appreciate it.

[The Shape N' Shape Collab]

It's Okay

There are a handful of parts which are pretty good to watch but a lot of them are a bit bad, I can't say I found any of them funny. There where some parts where the shapes where gradient filled or other sort of odd fills and this looked really bad, there where some that looked good too, like the one with the mice in the story, that was probably the best of them.

The voice acting in some parts wasn't good but in others it was good, none of the jokes where really funny and the one without sound really didn't work, I don't think it even had a sound effect. Good job trying though to all parties who collaberated in this, I just can't say it left much of an impression on me personally.

3/5

ChandlerThompson responds:

Thanks for the review, Little-Rena, much appreciated.

You're not the first to say you didn't find the collab to be funny, haha, we've received some tough criticism on a humor basis, but I'm glad you thought some of the pieces were entertaining. The mice one was very good, I felt it broke out of the normal basis that shape flashes were based on, which made it very appealing.

Sound was a major issue. Since shape flashes can't be based on animation it does require sound and voices to determine the future of the piece. Thanks again for the nice review, it should help all authors who participated in this collab greatly.

[The Assumption Song]

This is Great

I really found this quite amusing, the song really did sound like it was going to say something dirty and even working out the pattern, it still made me think that way though it was also partly due to your animation here which went well with the music to give that kind of impression, so that was good.

The art and animation I thought was done really well, I can see no problems with it, infact I kind of like the style this was done it, so that's good. Maybe it did lack colour and some shading in parts, but I soon got over that, the ending to this was also very good I thought.

Still, I was so expecting something rude to be said, does that mean there is something wrong with me? :(

5/5

Oney responds:

Thank you m'dear! The feedback is just lovely! Glad you enjoyed!

[Wallet VS. Pico]

Nice Work

I thought this was done very well, although I'm not too keen on the Naruto references, lol, the Dragonball ones are bareable. The graphics are pretty decent in this which is good to see, no problems with the animation, the colours where good although one of the backgrounds you drew with this was kind of empty in a way, lol.

The ending I thought was pretty good, some of the fighting animation also seemed a little off. It was a pretty amusing ending, though the cutting in half was kind of eh, still pretty nice. I would work on the menu though if I where you, it seems like you just slaped a load of images on and a play button, lol, make it look neater. Otherwise, good work overall :)

5/5

iShirm responds:
