kospas's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Apocalypse Online]

Neat, but needs improvement

I really liked the graphics for this cartoon. The style also, great. I also liked how you had taken the effort to find fitting voiceactors, even if their voices wasn't perfect. I didn't like how they never moved their mouths either. This is not Foamy.

HenTyler responds:

Mouths will be in the next episode. I just didn't have time for them in this one, and I hate going back and changing something I've already finished. =O

[sidewalk politiks]

Really good

This was a great movie. I really liked the concept and that it was a bit different from most stuff on NG. The voiceacting was really good, but I couldn't really hear everything they said, maybe you could have subtitiles?

The drawings are really good, but the animation is occasonally a bit choppy. And then I'm mostly refering to when the people walked by the sidewalk.

escher responds:

heh...yeah i spent alot more time on the concept and design than on the animation...I'm working on that...

Work on your graphics

This whole thing is acctually built with an ok idea. The theme is great and I love the voiceacting and the characters too. The biggest flaw with the movie is it's graphics. It looks like you have done graphics in photoshop and then imported them into flash. Too bad you made it in such a poor way, the outlines on the characters are horrible. Maybe you should try to add more detail to them and try to blur them in photoshop. Sorry for being so rued, but the animation is horrible too. It doesn't just look good when you simply drag them without using any proper animation. Maybe you should try to set some fitting backroundmusic too.

snigglez responds:

THANK YOU!!
You should yell at my brother. He really needs to take an art class or something. OR something. In all honesty, we didn't want it to look like everything else. Hence the crap. Or so we like to believe.

[a boy learns to fly]

Different

Well that sure was a unique flash and really different from most stuff here. Graphics were pretty good to and the music really gave a special feeling to the movie. Can't say I really liked it though.

mchawking responds:

yeah i kinda made up the movie around the music track... I was just all zoned out thinking of funny things when I was listening to it.

[Spring]

Good, but I didn't like the song

This was a good animation, and I definatly appriciates when atleast some of the artists on NG try to do something different. This was different I'm sure, but I really didn't find it that impressive. Graphics were neat and original, but the song was annoying and slow rather being realaxing.

Mopsicle responds:

Well thank you for being honest, I'd agree with you on most things but I dont understand why you find the music annoying? Does anyone have anything better? Of course you would but it would probably throw off the mood completely

[Same Old Hero Story]

Cool story

First off I want too tell you that the narrating really sucks, and really loseas much of the overall impression.

Other then that I was pretty pleased with this cartoon. Drawings were well done and the story was nice too, even if not very funny. I also liked the design of the characters.

Sir-Eatsalot responds:

Well, i don't have a microphone and to only have one night to submit this to my multimedia class... I went with text aloud. I'm not a funny guy... AND IF YOU THINK I AM! WELL YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... well no I'm pretty sure I'm not funny.

[Angel B. Dean - reel]

Good

You definatly have talent as an artist, and I enjoyed this cartoon very much. Very nice drawings, the artwork is very unique, and great style overall. I would ha have liked it better if there were some more animation though. Good soundtrack too.

hansdampf responds:

And I see myself more as an illustrator than as an animator, if i would have theese two options to choose from, because I love drawing in Photoshop. But, I'll try to develop my animation skills in flash.

[Knoxs "Reloaded"]

you win knox

Stolen videoclip that you call your own work once again, but I laughed hard on this. and I have not even the real realoded. nice job on the preloader too.

Knox responds:

thanks :)

[Bush Bash 11 2003slidesho]

Solid voiceacting.

Another overall nice flash, even though I don't have such a strong hate for mr Bush as you seem to do ;). Voiceacting is good as always and I must say I laughed hard quite a few times. "Pay attention to the war- The war I tell you". Priceless. Even though I heard what they said, the french was a bit hard to understand, and I really missed subtitles. Optional if possible.

The art though, sorry for still being so picky, is pretty bad. The title says Slideshow, but the here really is a lack of animation, and even though said before, the voiceacting is funny, it really gets a bit slow just to watch that photographs.

Also, I don't really like your choice of colors; light yellow mised with clear red and purple. Abit work with your art and layout would really be gold to your cartoons. Even though it's the acctual core of the movie, the graphics are very important. Very important.

If you want I would like to contribute your graphics. Would you be interested in a co-operation? Prolly get solid ;). Anyway [e-mail]

TheOtherTruth responds:

Thank you for your review.

I know that slideshows are a risk because of the lack of animation. I was surprised that it did as well as it did.

I know that it is not my A-game, but overall I can live with it. My voice is in and out. First thing in the morning it is very solid, but by night (when I do most of the audio) it has been weak

Thank you for the offer of cooperation. I will definately consider that! Any help is a plus. I will go take a look at your stuff to get a feel for your style.

Thanks again for the review (I will probably review a few of yours soon) ;)

[YouKnow You LoveThe Ninja]

Don't like

Oh well the graphics were fairly good, but I didn't like your design of your characters. Ninja movies are so overrated. This one didn't have something special or unique with it.

Jimong5 responds:

ok, got it... all ninja movies have a dance scene. Yep. Nothing unique here!
