yodd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sad robot]

Good work

THis animation was quite well done, the drawings were done in a nice smooth style, and the style stayed the same throughout which is a good thing.

The song was good, I normally don't like this kind of music, but I did this time (though it doesn't matter if I am rating an animation). THe song and animation corresponded well, a song about a sad robot, an animation about a sad robot sort of thing.

The one thing I didn't enjoy was that green animation thingy. Sure, its not bad looking, but the amount of time it took up in the animation was too much. Other than that one thing I didn't enjoy, it was a lovely animation that i'd certainly watch again. For future works, I suggest making it less repetative, but hell this animation was great and I can't talk sonsidering all my works have way more flaws!

[Come Clarity Collab]

So I logged into newgrounds

For the first time and a long time--A friend of mine actually told me there was an in flames flash on the site, and I clicked on the link only to see my largest dream come true...

It was submitted.

This collab gained a higher qualioty than I originally thought when I first started it, when I was still rather new to this flash thing. But back to my story, I clicked on the link to the come clarity collab and opened up the window, only to be shocked by the stunning visuals, amazing audio and outstanding performance by all authors in this collab.

It is certainly obvious that some peices stood out, as I am sure you have heard by now, Osukas clips were all awe inspiring, and he gave me a reason to love Venezuala, Hugo Chavez certainly didn't do that. haha. People like Hamesu, nathanielmilburn and Temariix also had outstanding parts, which made it a very nice collab. One part which curprised me was by gibsonR, I never sawe him as someone to make something serious as his first short part, and he executed it nicely.

Some authors in this collaboration certainly got overshadowed by the overwhelming greatness of Osuka, Hamesu, Temariix, etc. But you can't forget these artists like swiftstylerX and pinkskull whos contributions were essential the the foundation of the collab.

On another note, aside from the authors peices, I am quite shocked by the immaturity of some of these newgrounds users who consider the collab to be "emo". Yes, the collab certainly is dark, but that doesn't make it emo, but I guess its no use getting caught up about this if it isn't going to change peoples views.

So, in conclusion, this collab was a magnifficent pleasure to watch, as I said it had stunning visuals (Some of which would compete with some of newgrounds higher artists), a dark tone, which was kept throughout, i'm glad the tetris part was replaced and the mood was kept throughout.

And on a personal note, I want to thank toy Temariix, as the collab would not be what it is today without your superb leadership skills, and excellent control over peoples parts. Because of you it acheived a certain level of excellence that is extremely hard to do better than, even match. At first, I was kind of skeptical of my decision of letting you take over, but now that I see the result I can see I made the correct decision, so thank you.

10/10
5/5
Cheers,

[Don't rock the boat]

Rock the boat

Don't tip the boat ova.

[Canadian Idiot!]

Oh hey

This was a cool little animation here, set to a nice song by weird al.

dskjfsahjkf lets start with a review here.

>>>THE GOOD<<<
-USing the south park-ish Canadian person was a good idea
-The animation was smooth and groovy, I also should point out how neatly you did the colors.
- followed the lyrics to the song.
-Graphics were acceptable for what you were trying to portay in this animation, so good job with that.

<<<BAD>>>
-The same thing was happening various times throughout the animation the "band scene". I always like a bit more creativitiy, so had you addeddd more stuff to that...

<><>OVERALL<><>
As a canadian, I enjoyed this i laugh at how true some of it is, and it really is a shame that other canadian viewers are giving you shit for this, as I think this song is jsut as much praising Canada as it is insulting (use of irony in the song of course). Nothing was wrong with it, but there is always room for improvement.

Added to favs, continue witrh the good work.

TITROTU responds:

Thanks for the very detailed review. :)

[Color Collab]

Cool

So, I thought since the way the collab is done, I will review it by color.

Purple.

Cool 3d effects, although a bit repetative, it was cool. Why would you pick a color you hate? o.O :D

Yellow
Goodm music, some good graphics. However I hated soem of the tweens used. lively.

Red
I was hoping for mroe than motorcycle tricks, hoped a bit much I giess.

green.
Decent, like the music, rest was meh. Alright.

Orange.

I felt like partying, it was fun and funny.

Black-white
Worst of the collab, repetative faces and poor fbf, collab leader, this is what made the marks go down in my books :/.

Other remarks:
Menu/preloader. Cool backrounds, it was nicely executed, and suited what it was, the color collab. The cursor was wicked awesome, liked it a bunch. And the pause feature was good, as it helped me write this review as I went. :D

8/10
4/5

Wow, thanks. You forget to write about blue :). Appreciate the review my man

[:: WRiteR's BloCk ::]

what a SLIDESHOW

You see here is the thing, no motion was involved other than switching pictures, and switching pictures amounts to nothing but, as I mentioned before, a slideshow. All you are doing is putting the exact same things onto the portal, you do nothing different.

People say foamy and germaine are hard to draw, but I could nail a flash like this down in about 10 hours, drawings like this, I gave you a 2 for graphics because your drawings are still okay.

Even when you don't submit still picture animations it is stll all tweened and you get a great score because fanboys all vote five. Well here is the thing, you are one of the only people who has reached out to the emo crowd. OS all your fanboys/girls are dumb as can be.

Your jokes are pretty much the same thing, just said in different ways and different orders. I found the arease you like to stick to.
-sexist
-racist
-nationalist

And many other crudes jokes. Now this isn't like other flash cartoons (or many cartoons in general) where you take the occasional crack on the Canadians. Yours is over done and you use terms and words that offend the race. These jokes are just overdone and old for you, MOVE ON.

Have you notived your severely declining popularity, how veterans on newgrounds are dissing you, how your review average has gone down. And don't make me rub that nice juicy turd of the week in your face.

You see, I worked for a hard ten days on a flash and it passes with only a slightyly higher score than this, and its quality is soo much better. You have gone so far as to not draw backgrounds, and trace bitmap instead.

Aside from the fact slideshows are NOT really allowed on newgrounds this was still a poorly done flash, and it hurt my eyes to see.

WORK NEXT TIME PLEASE.

PS: to all you brainless idiots, I was given permission from a mod to review this again.

[Foamy: Hurricane Special]

Horrible to say the least

I don't understand how exactly you do it. It is one, ONE still frame showing a picture of foamy, with a map of where he is. Not only that, but it is set to the annoying voice of foamy. This does not qualify as great animation, as sooooo many people are saying. It qualifies as poor animation with a horrible rant.

One frame, nothing more. I submit poor submissions, but they involve more effort than this. Mine actually have some (but minimal) animation, I actually do more than make a pciture and set it to an annoying voice.

What you have done is not animating, it is a poor rant. If you are so angered about victims in the hurricane, why not post this on the forums, a political site, etc? Now, I am not here to question the tant in the least, but simply wonder why it is submitted in a flash, if it isn't a flash at all.

Now, this has a 3.7+ score, yet I saw nothing come of it... do you really have to submit this to the portal, or can you animate something instead...

[3D Pinball Animation]

Its cool

>>>THE GOOD<<<
3d Motion was done quite swell, compared to muct 3d on this site. The 3d animation blew my mind.
The idea was pretty new, following a pinball around.
Pinball had the reflection, this was REALLY good and deserved its own oint because I have never seen anyone do that in 3d.
Music was funny and fitting ^_^

<<<BAD>>>
Eh, I thought you could have used sound effects over the music whenever the pinball made contact with another object.
I thought the motion was a bit slow, pinballs go faster. Although, I do see that it is sorta what you meant to do, I didn't overly enjoy that aspect.

<><>OVERALL<><>
Great 3d project, I hope you got a good mark on it (quite sure you did) and it was nice to watch, I have one question for you, so please respond.

What Program do you use for 3d?
