FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solaris]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a pretty neat movie! The music really set the mood into a calm mood, but it gave the hint that something was going to happen, so I was on the edge of my seat waiting for something to pop out and make me shit myself, so good music! The graphics were great also. I liked some of the unique camera views like from the ground looking at the tress. Very cool drawings, they also helped set the mood.

^^Needs Improving^^
Like I said above, I was expecting something more exciting to happen in the plot of this, but to no avail. It seems like kind of a cheap ending for such a great lead up to the end.

[Little Drawings]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was very good. I'm pretty sure that you did everything FBF, please confirm that for me. Your animations were quite smooth and your drawings were simplistic but pretty cure as well. This had humor in it, and the music in it really set a happy mood to it.

^^Needs Improving^^
Of course some drawings could be improved, as with every movie, but overall a good movie in a lot of ways.

mademoiselle responds:

Yes it was FBF, it's my favorite way to animate. I will work on the drawings seeing as one can only hope to improve with each new project. Thanks you for taking the time to review my submission and give constructive crisitism.

[Old Flash Compilation]

K

^^Good Points^^
I can't exactly say what it was about this movie, but it wasn't really as bad as I was expecting it to be. A lot of this was just experimental stuff you made, and mostly just still images, but that is pretty cool, as we got to see some of your good graphical works and some of the not so good ones, and see how you have progressed.

^^Needs Improving^^
The music. It's a great song, I think it fits well, but instead of cutting it off to make the filesize lower, you should compress the music instead. You can get the whole song in and have a fractional filesize. There are tutorials all around NG. One at the bottom of the submission form!

PoeticTheJustice responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism dude! I can promise you I have improved I'm just working on a flash right now and it's long. Btw my drawings may not be top notch as i only use a mouse (can't afford a WACOM at the mo).

The music was a good tune. I would have rated sound better but it seems you made no effort to compress the audio, making this a five meg file. Yikes!

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, you need to explain what is going on before you say it's the end. I'm lucky I decided to watch after it said end or I would have no idea what the hell this was talking about. The animations are pretty shabby, not smooth and very simple. The layering wasn't good either; things were always overlapping the top part of this.

Not-Stuff4u2kno responds:

Yea. I'm not the best with flash but I am learning..

[perscriptions rock]

K

^^Good Points^^
The drawings weren't bad, though I didn't like how everything was so blurry. It's kind of humorous how you prescribed throwing rocks at someone as treatment. It probably does work! Animations and music were decent too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Like I said, you should blur so much. It's good to use once in a while, but to have entire scenes blurred for no reason is kind of lame. This also kind of moved too fast. You could probably add some more animations at the end showing how happy these guys become from throwing the rocks.

storeboughtarmy responds:

well i blurred a lot because i wanted it to have that eerie anti-depressant commercial sorta feel.
and it moves fast because commercials usually do... and when i added music i had to edit a lot of stuff so that it would run smoothly.

[Demise of a Match]

^^Good Points^^
I usually don't watch high-scoring submissions, because they have a tendency to be quite long, but you had a great package in a pretty short time, which is notable. I really liked the three dimensional effects in this, they were very believable. The artwork was beautiful overall. I loved the cartooney sound effects too, and the voice overs were cute. Superb ending, you really made that scene intense and funny at the same time.

^^Needs Improving^^
I felt the sound effects could have been a little less powerful, as they are they could be annoying to some people, just by sheer volume.

Wonchop responds:

Heh thanks.

[spiriti credits]

K

^^Good Points^^
It's certainly a good credits screen. I liked how you moved the text around as you did instead of just a plain scrolling screen. The animations and drawings definitely were unique too.

^^Needs Improving^^
If I wanted to watch the credits for your movie, I would go watch to the end of your movie. While this is well made, this doesn't really serve any type of entertainment, seeing how it is just credits!

^^Good Points^^
As always, the NN has developed a good movie for me to watch and review! It's always pleasant dealing with you fellows. This was rather funny. I like how you went through the entire castle and met all of the well-known NN members, as well as some unknown ones, like that diver! The music was great throughout, as were the graphics. You had very cool drawings, and good animations too.

^^Needs Improving^^
You should really have voice overs, or at least make the subtitles more noticeable. I'm sure I missed some things that were said because I didn't even notice the subtitles changed!

Little-Radiodemon responds:

Yeah, I did want voices but couldn't find anyone to do them P:
And my voice acting skills are pritty poor, lol.

I could have included some other members of NN but ran out of ideas, lol.

Thanks for the review.
I always enjoy reading them :)

[CC promo for oths]

K

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were very good. You had above average drawings, with lots of detail. It's hard to draw the human body, and in such detail takes a lot of skill. The animations were pretty life-like too.

^^Needs Improving^^
For one, I have no idea what this is a promo for. This was just a clip of a few people running, which wasn't very interesting. Also, think of not putting CC in the title. I thought this would be about clocks.

lumanious responds:

haha thanks alot man, anyway its the introduction to a speech givn by my highgschool coach to promot the cross coundtry team ( CC ) lol thanks for watchn and reviewin!
