[Mariotrix part 1]

Not very epic...

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were this movie's strongest points. Your animating wasn't half bad and I liked the text you used. It is easy to read and easy to see what character is speaking. The idea of putting Mario into a Matrix type environments is a pretty good one.

^^Needs Improving^^
This movie moved way too fast. You seemed to combine about an hour of the movie into two minutes, which in this case didn't work out very well. Work on each scene longer and either release them separately or as a longer movie. This movie also could use some music and more sound effects, possibly voice overs if you play them right.

A good attempt and a good concept, but poorly executed.

2. thankyou for your ideas

[StopMotion Fun!]

Neat!

^^Good Points^^
I've never seen a movie done quite like this and I really like how well this was done. The movements were done so that they looked realistic in most parts, and there were very few parts where the tricks just looked like crap. The music was pretty good, and I found this to be quite humorous. Nice job.

^^Needs Improving^^
I would have made a menu with a scene selection so that to view any one part someone doesn't have to watch the whole movie.

Overall an unique piece on NG with a good amount of entertainment.

Thanks for the good review!

I was going for something new than cartoon animations, so I went with stopmotion. I tried to go as realistic as I could trying to do small movements in each frame, but it got pretty hard keeping still for a few minutes. And you found it humourous? Then my job is done.
Thats a good idea too. I may make a 'Stopmotion Fun 2!', so I will probably add a menu there. Thanks for the idea.

..and the review.

[She's The One]

Yeah

^^Good Points^^
The scenes in the movie went along with what was happening in the song pretty well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, the graphics weren't very good at all. The animations were too...solid. What I mean is that when people moved, very rarely did anything besides their whole being move, which looks pretty crappy. The music was a pretty dull, I thought it was going to be Smashing Pumpkins :(

As you said, this isn't a very good show of your talent.

JimmyDodger responds:

Thanks for the review first.

I tried to go with the song like you said I did. But I guess I went weak on the graphics. This was my first movie without using stick figures, so you cant really blame me. With the song, I just thought it would go with the style of the movie.

Thanks for the review.

[Brother Battle]

Good effort

^^Good Points^^
It seems as though you put some effort into this. The sprites were well animated and the movements looked somewhat realistic, good for what can be done with Mario sprites. The sound effects were right on queue and sounded great. I liked the different music used as well. This flash just feels good to watch because there isn't any obvious errors.

^^Needs Improving^^
This idea is really overdone, I see stuff like this all the time in the portal. It wasn't too exciting and nothing really out of the ordinary happened. Next time make something with a more original storyline.

Guitardude responds:

Originality on NG?

well that's just crazy talk.

but seriously don't worry about it. i'll try...
