kospas's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SystemProject Final Piece]

Good graphics.

I'm pretty dissapointed this was just a preview/ trailer. Honestly, I'm sick of them. It was nicely made, however it was pretty much cliché too. Forbidden love, an epic battle. I also fund it abit strange how you seemed to mix the themes of medieval and present time.

The best thing with this movie are the graphics and the overall layout of the movie. The graphics were exellent, somehow it reminded me of Ben Spurgins work. The way it was made really made me wanna await the real thing.

ess-jay-arr responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean, I hate seeing trailers on here too, but it's liek I said, I wouldn't have submitted it, but I needed the feedback for college. As for it being clichéd... you're so right. ='( That's why I said I wasn't proud of it... I had such big ideas for a meaningful story that really made a statement, then I crapped out a typical action movie trailer. =P

As for mixing medieval and present time, that was purposeful. The story is actually set in a fantasy world, but I didn't want to use elaborate fantasy costume... I won't write out my whole project. =P

I dunno who Ben Spurgin is, but I'm gonna look him up after this. Anyway, thanks for reviewing. =)

[Sonic Xtreme Trailer]

yep

That is great graphics indeed, but I get the idea that your splendid graphics and having Sonic was the only reason for this having such a good score. I like original stuff more then ppl that steal concepts and characters too.This is not original at all, I really got the feeling that this was trying to copy Sonic X Chaotic Battle.

This trailer was a bit boring really, the characters really were just running and you didn't get a real idea what the real thing would be about. The NG mag Alphas is for pointless trailers like this one.

Doom-Fox responds:

I can't edit my alpha for this. I don't know why.

[IM RPG intro]

That was like... Pretty good

Hey not bad dude. Great effort with the frame-by-frame artwork and I liked the concept overall. Pretty good music too, I just thought it would be good with some nice colors and some sort of story or atleast thought behnd it. Keep flashing.

MrBigStick responds:

thanks, man. i'm a big fan of your work, and apparently you're not an easy person to please. so i've done well.

[Forever alone...]

Very good

Great movie there.it was really artistic and fun to watch. Good music, good animation. Great. Stopped a bt too early though.

FireHound responds:

thank you

[Out Of Control]

Wow

TRuly amazing work. I loved every second of it. Graphics were unique and well done, very good song and the story was not only god, but went perfect with the music.

AloneInTheDark responds:

:) The story goes so well with the music because while i was listening to this song i was creating the entire movie in my head. The music was the base for this flash, not the other way around.

[lll_Narnia's Realm_lll]

Viddy well broher, viddy well.

That was infact pretty cool. Style was awsome and the narrating great too, I really like the world you came into. Graphics were pretty neat, the backrounds were very detailed, nice work with photoshop there. Nice with the waterfall and I liked the light from above. Birds flying looked realistic and gave a good mood to the story. However the animation of the elf needs work. I could tell you had mixed photoshop graphics with flash graphics, like you had made his body in PS and his head in flash. This really doesn't look good, his body looks stiff and really doesn't fit with the head. The elf also played the his flute longer then the music went on. And when he stoped "playing" he moved an inch, this really doesn't look smooth. I liked the overall apperance, nice job on his grins and facial expressions, that and the voice gave the elf a good personality. The voice however, ddn't go in sync with the subtitles, I'm not sure if you streamed the voices, if you didn't- do it.

Keep on flashing, I see alot of creativy here.

alexsmolik responds:

Thanks ! Glad you rather liked it. I did put some hard time in the graphics and script, and I wanted to put some kind of atmosphere in it (watefall, beam of light, birds ...). I didn't really use PS though. I drew my backgrounds with Flash, and used the "Gaussian Blur" feature of PS to make them look distant, that's all lol, and the elf is 100% Flash too! And there are indeeds loads of flaws with the music synching as much as the lip synching and subtitles and all that. But they gave me such a hard time, that I sort of gave up. And nope, I didn't stream the sounds, if I did, they just didn't worked. Weird.
Thanks for the motivating review.

[Lost At Sea]

Frontpage material

That was truly inspiring. Graphics are superb, and the story was original and funny. Music fitted well. I would like it if the maidens were looking a bit better in their faces though, and I really missed the nipples lol.

SketchMichaels responds:

Front page would be awesome, hasn't happened for me in a while now. Those poor, nippleless women.

I was trying to keep it a little decent :)

*shrugs*

Thanks for the review

[Digital Being.]

A good start

The graphics and aniamtion is really good. The style is neat too, I just wish it all would be longer. It stops right after starting to get interesting.

Zwickel responds:

Thanks for the comments, well, it is a short. :s
Maybe a sequel can be coming...

[lll_Madness Tribute_lll]

Salutes

This movie was ok for as madness tribute. I liked the western theme and that it didn't narrow itself by only using "madness" graphics, only 2d that is, and instead used a lot of colors and different views. Nice and detailed backgrounds.

The graphics were ok, but the graphics are still "shaky", I would prefer if they were smooter. It looks better.

Exellent chioce of music, I heard you used the "Savior song". And the ending was powereful and moody. The style is great, just work with smoothening your art.

alexsmolik responds:

Thanks a lot for the motivating review.
I'm glad you liked the western theme, I knew I wouldn't have had enough time if I had made exact madness style and animation. The graphics are shaky (in the fight) because I skipped a little scene, but whatever. I could have worked on the smoothiness though. I'm glad you liked the music too, the beauty of the movie resides a lot in it. I love this 'Savior song', even though I just don't know the title, I used Windows Recorder to get it...
Thanks for the hyper-motivating review!:)
