FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Born to Rock]

^^Good Points^^
The graphics are amazing. I loved how everything was drawn with crayon. I think you would have great success if you used this graphical style in a full length movie with a decent storyline. The preloader was great, and I liked the animations and how everything was constantly jiggling.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, nothing interesting happens in this movie. Those two guys just stand their and play two different songs at the same time. You should really use this graphic style to make a full length movie.

The drawings weren't half bad. They were good drawings and could be used for a much better movie. The high framerate makes this much better too.

^^Needs Improving^^
Really nothing happens in this. It's a shorty story of a bunch of glocks having sex or something like that. I'm not too impressed or entertained right now.

[StickClock Clock Day]

K

^^Good Points^^
This reminds me of clock day, which is a fun day.

^^Needs Improving^^
Clock day means pretty lax effort from a lot of people. This is a prime example This submission consists of just a stick person with a face consisting of two lines. Had you not said this was a clock, I would have never known it was one. The animation lasts for a total of about half a second, which isn't enough to develop anything that could make this a good submission.

[Loading Screen]

The part with jesus talking was pretty funny. He said some random things, but they were still funny. The screaming part was also very unpredictable, which is a good thing, usually screamers aren't this surprising.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, it's a screamer, and I just cannot say that I enjoy watching them The parts you drew were really poor also.

[Emo? Lol-no.]

A very funny movie. The song was hilarious. This was short, to the point, and still took some talent. Very creative and definitely worth watching.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is kind of lacking really good animations. You basically just took some images you drew and put them into a few frames.

[Mario Vs. Sonic IV]

K

^^Good Points^^
This is funny. However, it is not funny because of the movie itself, but more of the havoc it has created!

^^Needs Improving^^
Unlike most people, I remember the old preloader fad, with preloaders that never really load, so I won't make a fool of myself by saying that. This preloader wasn't even that good looking! I wouldn't use it in a submission myself.

Hey, 67kb, not a big waste of space or time! Yay!

^^Needs Improving^^
There is a lot I could say down here, but probably very few people will ever read it, especially not you the author, but I'll say it anyway. You did no drawings, just pictures of this "C" fellow and Tom, tweened and rotated around the screen over and over with flashy lights. I can tell from experience that something like this does not take much effort, so I was pretty disappointed by your work.

[3-D Motion Capture]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a fair submission. You did an excellent job with the drawings. I liked how they were constantly changing slightly. The angles were just about perfect, you did an excellent job with making this realistic. The music also went well with this.

^^Needs Improving^^
I would have liked this much better if it were colored or at least had some type of storyline, even if a small one was incorporated.

Flameviper responds:

I will probably do more in the future that hav storylines and colour. This one was just trying out the technique and seeing what the Newgrounds response would be (in this case, awesome). The funny thing is that this took almost no skill (except with the line tool, lol) and almost three weeks, it's only 30 seconds long, and it got awesome reviews. The Wrath of Dicey, which is like 2 minutes long, took awesome Flash skills, and took me almost three months, got OK reviews. LOL.

[Mr.Kiwi's Story]

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad movie, especially for your first. The storyline was cute, I liked it. Your characters are unique and the storyline was unique and explained well also.

^^Needs Improving^^
As you said, the animations are really quite crude. I can deal with that, but my major problem about this is that it was pretty boring. The storyline seemed to drag on forever and I had to force myself to watch to the end. The lack of sound doesn't help your situation either. You definitely need to add sound.

omnimike responds:

Thanks for the constructive comment, I agree the pace can be improved and adding sound and music would help, I'll work on those if time permit :)
