Markface's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Who? Part 1]

You had writers?

Sorry but the plot seemed like it was made up in a 15 minute period. The flash was simple, overused characters with an unoriginal plot.

The visuals were bland, recovered gradients and very poor shadow effects. If you want to use shadows, use frame by frame/non stencil 15-35% alpha.

You use tweens far to much in this, for walking cycles and what not, I really think you should adapt the frame by frame process more.

You look like you're keen into flash, and I honestly think you have the potential to make something good. You just need to space it out, spend the time on it and not get bored. Don't make it in a couple of hours, make it over a couple of weeks or months even.

Best of luck.

InfinateLoop responds:

Alright, this script was made in a 1 day period, I know thats short. How are Brandon and Jack overused? They're the members of me and VintageBro's Delian Bros. I admit it, I am a tweener weener. And this was made in 1 week. That answers some things.

[Anyone Seen My Dignity]

Far to short

I'm aware that this was just a skit. But if you're wanting any real feedback you need to give more than a 15 second cartoon. Maybe a bunch of skits in 1 flash?

Anyway, the animation was basic, the visuals have been used all the same. The only real thing I enjoyed was the sound.

I think you could do a good job if you devoted more time to this.

thats a good point

[*Have A Nice Day*]

Catchy

You guys are done! Congratulations is in order.

While viewing the flash I was suprised by how much you guys progressed, I remember seeing alot of the work in the early stages such as WAAANIMATIONS Ipod scene etc, and you guys really did well.

Overall the whole animation had a nice mix of visuals and animations (thankfully no sprites), the entirety of the flash was very fluent and enjoyable.

I don't normally single out a part that I like, but the parachuting scene was an amazing display of frame by frame work, brilliant stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I think you all did a great job and are very deserving of a better score than the one you have now.

ShortMonkey responds:

Thanks. I'm happy with the score atm... but front page would've been nice but it didn't get there because it was a commercial song (Tom said).

[OMFG! It's a raid!]

Haha

This pretty much sums up the atrosity that was the Chans raid on Newgrounds.

AshfordPride responds:

Dude, we we're totally owned.

All the eleven year old DBZ watching NGers were all freaking out and the General forum exploded. Intense.

[Sonic VS. Shadow: First]

Drop the sprites

The 5 for graphics is for your background work, effects and space scene twist. If it wernt for that, you'd get a 0 from me.

You seem like you are talented enough to drop sprites and do some serious work, untill you start doing that... all this time is going to waste.

DND-Productions responds:

Actually, I suck hard-core at drawing. The reason I seem talented is because sprite animation is all that I'm good at.

[An Animusical Minute Ep 2]

Aww cute!

I laughed pretty damn hard at the breakdancing ballarena. Anyway, great flash. A very creative insight to... well nothing really. The whole flash came together well, great background music, nice animating, overall a great flash!

Good job!

Foreverland responds:

Its a creative insight into the inner workings of my imagination? heheh I dunno. Thanks for the great review!

[Stick Samurai Part-1]

Great improvement

Right from the start you were doing all you could to really make this work, this is hands down your best work.

The animation was great, a fluent peice of work, mixed with some nice frame by frame action. The song choice was great and the violence was brilliant.

Hope to see part 2, this was great!

Emi-Killer responds:

YEA THANKS MAN. I thank you all SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! YEA!!!^^
I am so happy. My best animation. WOW^^

[Trendy!]

Bombardment!

Ha! Great music clip. Such as fast paced, interesting collection of random horseshit :)

The visuals were nice, especially the little fish... I 'awwww'ed. From the backgrounds, to the imagery to the fluent animation... it all pulled off the be an enjoyable couple minutes of random entertainment.

Congratulations!

MetalDart responds:

BOMBARDMENT!!!

YEah, I watched a lot of Simpsons. Thanks for the awwwww. :3

[Beautiful Pico Day]

How did he get up on that boulder?

I'm not going to focus on the fact that it's a loop, you've probably had that in alot of reviews.

The art though, was very nice. Alot of shadow, layer and light effects were placed throughout. I loved the art in the tree's and general scape of the idea.

Hope to see your pico day submission.

ShortMonkey responds:

LOL... that's a good question... I added him there to fill in a bit more. I guess I could say that he climbed it, flew up there... not all aspects have answers. Thanks for the review. :)

[y my 3rd movie]

Quite enjoyable

The only real error I saw with this was the length. It to far to tell the joke. But that didn't destory it, the way you used nice visuals, funny liners and good settings really brought out the humor.

Good job!

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks
