FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Homeland]

^^Good Points^^
You don't have much of a singing voice, but hell, I have to give you credit for using your own song, which is something rare on NG. I liked the lyrics, very meaningful and interesting. You stayed with the lyrics in the animations and had some creative drawings.

^^Needs Improving^^
Just like your last movie, the graphics really hurt this. You don't have very good drawings, especially the people, and the fact that there is very little shading really makes this look unprofessional. Also, try to get a better quality in the audio.

Glad you liked it. Yeh, with the audio, it's the equipment I use. (Let's just say it's not exactly proffessional equipment)Well, thx for the advice, and thx for the review.

I liked the song you chose to make a video for. It had good lyrics and you animated to them pretty well. I liked the overall happy feeling from this movie that I got. Sometimes the animations were pretty clever, like the spinning earth part of this to simulate the days going by. Overall, a good music video.

^^Needs Improving^^
The drawings are the weak part in this. You don't use a lot of shading or gradients, so the drawings and coloring just look a little ameture. The animations could in turn use some improving, as they are all very simple animations.

Timsplosion responds:

Glad that overall you enjoyed it. I'm gonna try to improve over coming flash. Thanks for the advice, and thx for the review. :)

[Flight Test anim]

^^Good Points^^
You definitely show some promise as an animator. I like the fantasy style of the movie. The graphics were unique, I guess you took some bitmaps or something? Anyway, it looks a good style of drawings and animations.

^^Needs Improving^^
The movie is just a test, so it doesn't have much to it. I was a little disappointed at how this was made. The whole scene was very slow, long, and very boring, as the same animations were used over and over. Definitely should be put into a better storyline though.

I am only viewing/reviewing this because you mentioned sunshine crew in this, which was always a neat little thing. A cool tribute to that crew; I like how you made this, with the picture of that japanese boy as the sun, and the city-scape. Not a bad introduction to this either, well made.

^^Needs Improving^^
It wasn't quite sunshine. You needed some kind of message in this during the sunshine part of this. It's a little empty as it is.

I like to think as myself as one of those people who see the glass half full.

A very good movie from you FB. The graphics were much better than most of your movies. The shading was great, and you put so much detail in here, it was almost scary. Fat Badger has never looked fatter! I liked the music throughout, the changing music was cool and both songs fit well. The ending was perfect too. Diahrrea....terrible.

^^Needs Improving^^
Could definitely use some more sound effects in this. Basically the music was all that was in this movie.

A funny little movie, here. The drawings were kind of funny to start out, I like how you drew the little guy, and his hat looks good on him. The speakonia was funny since it was such an overused tone. I liked the end when he just started going crazy, that made me smile.

^^Needs Improving^^
I liked this, but a lot of people have voted and reviewed based on the fact that this has a strange storyline with really no development other than his hat is giving him some problems :(

[Short: Happy New Year]

K

^^Good Points^^
Well, at least this looks like something you can edit a tad bit and have out for just about any holiday...including Clock Day '07! The graphics weren't bad. I liked the clock faces and there were some good details in the drawings.

^^Needs Improving^^
Yeah, this was really short, and doesn't have much content to it. I didn't find it too funny, as it was just random with SBC punching out another clock. Meh.

[BLOB!]

K

^^Good Points^^
An average quality movie. The actual video picture quality was pretty high, which would account for the 3 meg file, but that's ok. Some ideas you had in here were good. I liked the scene where the blob attacked that weird wooden guy's face.

^^Needs Improving^^
Animations definitely need some work. First off, increase the frame rate in Flash, and then make some more frames, take more pictures or whatever to make some smoother animations. None of your animations look really life-like.

[Hylight Dance Off]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ahh, it's really boring to see all of these conflict movies between bowser and Mario, but you did something special with this one. A Dance-off, which is completely original. I thought you had great animations in this. The dance moves were pretty cool, and you manipulated the sprites very well. The music choices were all good dance songs, and I really thought this was a pretty special movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
No really clear ending to this movie. You basically just had the players dance off, and then that was it. Something should definitely be added to the end of this to give it a more definite ending. Perhaps something like VGDC used to do with a "pick your own winner" type ending.

spare-jello responds:

Hmmm... I like the 'pick your own winner' thing, but I think it's way overused. Anyway, thanks for the review and the compliments.

[Street Kids - Trailer]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very good trailer for a movie that looks pretty interesting. I thought it was neat how you decided to make this just like a real trailer in the beginning and end of the movie. The graphics are the best so far from you. Great animations and interesting drawings. It's kind of a mix of anime and Flash animation, which is cool. The storyline looks interesting, and I will watch the full episode when it comes out.

^^Needs Improving^^
As far as a trailer goes, this was pretty darn good. Just remember to keep the audio quality high, and don't use such high voice overs when the finished product is released.
