Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TANKMEN: day of lead]

Pretty Good

I thought this was a pretty good entry, although at times it seemed to be a bit of a what moment and text on walls might have looked better in a messy font with some effects over it, just too look more the part. The lack of voices was okay, you seemed to do it well without them, so that was good.

Much of the animation was okay and it wasn't just random fighting through the whole thing, good. Also, quite a bit of humour to this, some of it was funny, others maybe just a smile, but still good work in that area too. The scene where they are drinking tea was probably one of the better parts I thought, lol.

[Pokemon Bahamut Version]

Intresting

I watched this a while back when you submitted it, was going to review it then but I expected that you where going to submit it to the review request club, your predicatable tactic makes you weak on the battlefield, lol.

That aside, the introduction on this was done pretty well, opened up with the whole pokemon theme and the music was good too, the menu here was also done very well, looked much like a pokemon menu, so good work with that. The whole thing kept with the pokemon game just with voice acting added, I liked the black and white style too at the start, brings back memories of the original Gameboy.

When it changed into colour, the diolog box didn't have a colour border, I would have advised to do that. The cheat screen part was done very well and then the part after that with a glitch and all. Though it might have been funny to use Missingno for that scene then a glitch, but either way that was done well.

Too bad Hitler will beat you too it in a fair manner. Also, this is probably one of your better flashes I have seen, good work on this, it had a much better plot to it than some others.

5/5

I was gonna leave Missingno. until a possible Bahamut: CAI493+D 000 was made. Sadly, I doubt I will ever make that. :(

Thanks for another great review! :)

[Edgar N' Locke 06]

Alright Then

Didn't really see much story to this, could have done with a little more going on, the voice acting was okay though and everything, the sprites seemed to be fine too but not much in the way of animation. Diolog box and the text, very clear to read, which is good, so again, no problems with that.

The new feature might be good to some people who want to listen to it, but maybe not to others, I tried it just to see, so okay it's done pretty well, not being forced on the viewer at the credits which is good to see and some details about it, so good job with that.

"Didn't really see much story to this"

True, but it was a rough sketch on some kid who was fooled by the music stores' bad metal labelling. :)

[VZ Series:Naruto V Sasuke]

Okay

It wasn't too bad in terms of putting the sprites together to work and the sound was mostly decent quality but it could have been better. The layout was probably not so good though, the text was most of the time hard to read, you could improve that by having a solid colour for the text to be on and a simple font, nothing fancy, fancy is often hard to read.

At times some of the images seemed to be streached, like the background, that looked streached to me. Though the use of animations from the anime, although cheating did kind of work, so thats one slightly good point. The choice of endings was a good idea and the replay going back to the choice screen.

One other thing I will mention, the flicking back and forth on the sprite faces doesn't really work because it looks very pixilated. But otherwise, not too bad.

Thank but I don't understand what you mean when you say..."Though the use of animations from the anime, although cheating did kind of work, so thats one slightly good point. ", please explain...

[Under My Voodoo]

Pretty Good

This was a pretty good flash, some of the animation was done very well and so where some of the drawings, though at times it seemed a bit off but nothing major. I wasn't too keen on the introduction and some of the parts that had no real background, those kind of let it down a little. One part where it's a blue background and text on it flashing didn't look too good.

There where some bits of humour in this too, which is good to see, some odd choices to put with the music, but nothing major. The music was okay, though at times the lyrics might have been hard to hear, but all in all a good job.

Voodoo responds:

The movie was synced a lot better at one point, but in the final stages when I was putting the movie together, I hit some problems. And after I did the flashing part I hated myself, I was just too lazy at the time to redo it. D:

[Music Video Collection]

Alright

It wasn't too bad on the whole, though the music choices at times seemed to cut off at some bad points, might want to work on making the transition a little better. The ending had quite a funny message, though you should have faded the music out at that part, it would have sounded much better if you did, in my opinion anyway.

You could do with more work on the graphics and in parts a little more animation and backgrounds would be good, also try not to over use gradients in parts. The part with snow wasn't too smooth, that could do with some work, but some parts of the animation where good, the lip syncing was decent enough.

[3D Animation Test]

Bleh

Yeah okay, the artwork looks good and the animation is also very nice, though a little slow. There isn't really much else here though, no sound or anything really worth watching, so it has no real entertainment value, I'm not really a big fan of watching peoples tests on Newgrounds. I would suggest uploading it to a host then posting a topic in the flash section for test feedback.

It might be nice to see what you can do with this though, you could have had some short clips with interaction between scenes, give them a background and everything, just to look nice. Otherwise it's nothing more than a test, good luck with other works.

[Chalk Adventure]

Alright

Well the idea was pretty good, the sounds and everything where also pretty good to hear and everything seemed to fit well, though I might question the choice of music to this. It obviously sounds and looks like it took a lot of time to do, I could never be patiant enought to do 10 frames, let alone the ammount you did.

This didn't really seem to have much direction to it, the one major thing I would suggested is planning, much of this seemed to come across as being more random than anything. Just needs direction is all, more of a story behind what's going on or events that work from the last to the next.

Graeme responds:

Questioning the music choice is the last thing I expected to hear.
I guess it's not for everyone, but I think it's a beautiful piece of piano. I think piano will be a central theme in my chalk movies.

I honestly did plan this one. Haha. I know it seems random, but I had a plan.
butterfly flies in (past flower)
transforms into blah blah blah.
that turns into this, falls ___ direction.

It's an awkward thing to plan out a movie with no story, but I did still. Haha.
I will try to work around a more solid plot next time

[Street Fighter Series pt2]

Alright

Well a good point to this is that you had sound effects that did work with the animations, so that's pretty good to note. I didn't like how in parts you have things strech over, that didn't look too good and the diolog box could have been done a little better in my opinion. The main plot for this was hard to follow after a while, it just got kind of repetitive.

This could be good to watch for someone who is intrested in mindless fighting with a bit of diolog, but it's not really to my taste, so sorry about that. The lava below the part where they are fighting could be done better, as it is, it just looks like the platform they are on is floating.

mortis5000 responds:

Thank You for your review...I must admit that I seen my architectural mistake at the very last minute and couldn't change it...the camera that I was using did cause distortion in some places in the flash...I'm still trying to figure that out.

[BlueHippo's Birthday :0]

Alright

Well it wasn't too bad, the scene which had the violance in did seem to kind of work with the flashing lights and everything, so that's pretty good, didn't really need to have the actually fighting. Though a diffrent voice would have been good for the one being killed, might have given the ending away but maybe would have been a little better to have.

The sound effects and voice acting where okay, though the sound effects where better, lol. No offence on the voice acting, some of it was good but some parts could have donw with work. On the whole, it wasn't too bad.

kinggila responds:

But Wyvern, Fagamut and Bahamut all have the same voice. A different voice would have given it away. It's also why I kept that violent scene hidden.
