IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[This Is Real Scary]

It all good!

Toad clocks is best, though.

toads' manipulation of the Clock characters, with the subtle stretching and stuff, the work with the clock faces, the comic detail is very good. the choice and expression of the song is noteworthy

Overall the intro, the Menu scene etc. is also good
good work, good collaboration.

Best Wishes to all the Clock Crew from
IceDragon64 and the Dragons & Spirits

[That's My Fulp 6]

Getting better, guys

I thought this one was the funniest and Tom Wilson's song made it even better.

I was wondering how it would end and the final 'OK', in that resigned voice was perfect.

The first time the explosion went off in 1 I didn't like it, it just seemed like you didn't know how to end the flash, but now I kind of look forward to it!

You just gotta wonder what the relationship between Tom and Wade is really like and what they make of this series.

Best Wishes,
Ice

Yeah I'd love to see what they think of it!

[Flanders Fields]

Yes, I can see a few changes...

But not much.
Since Tom tells us NOT to submit slideshows in the instructions for submission the viewers have a right to expect animation etc to go with it. I see a few touches of Flash art, perhaps as much as is appropriate, but this is primarily an animation website and most slideshows dont make it.
As i said before the subject matter is important, so provided you are prepared to keep working on it and making the changes your reviews suggest, you should resub until you get it right.
As I said yesterday, you need to put all the credits into a stop page with a replay button. Its not that hard.
However, I see that you have changed the rating, so I will protect it this time.

[My Little Intro on CC]

Welcome to the Portal!

Yes. OK little flash. quite funny.

Please sort out the timing of the words though.

Best wishes to you and all Clocks from the Dragons & Spirits

I have been here since 2005... So I´m not a noob here :D. And the words were supposed to be out of timing.

[The Cheese]

OK comedy short

"You are the Saviour..."

In true Dragon & Spirit tradition, as I am the saviour I will review it.

+It is funny and some of the graphics are good.

-However, it is let down by being a loop and it would be so much better with a stop/replay.
-Although background colour etc is far from essential, it would certainly be better with just coloured walls etc.
-A little sound as well as the music would be good.

[nightmare before due date]

Yes but no

Such a great beginning, please dont waste it. Yes its OK and deserves to stay for now, but you KNOW it could be so much better. PLEASE do the whole video in time for next year.
Yes, do as I do and work on it for resubmission. People don't mind if it is fully improved.
As it is its not up to that much, and I don't like hearing that Benny Hill tune on anything but comic chase scenes- thats what its for, its how Benny Hill used it. It could make the collection if you continue at that standard.
Best Wishes,
Ice

[ZAMN (PFM)]

Ok sprite thing

You could explain some of it for those of us who have not seen ZAMN. A little intro would not be that hard. It would make a lot more sense, I think.

[S vs N full]

borderline protect

It was like watching someone else play a game, not like watching a movie. I didnt know who the characcters were and I still dont. It didnt make me feel that I wanted to either.
I see this as a moive made by and for only those people already in the know.
I don't know much about sprites, but it would appear that there was not all that much original work in this.
However, as it did work and it looked OK and I suppose that people who like this kind of thing might want to see this on NG I reluctant ly protected it.
Really it should have some kind of intro, explanation, story end etc.
go into the last frame of any layer and type Esc with S and T and you get a stop.

Its my first flash, i dont knowe make too much ^^U
Thx for your opinion

[Halloween short]

Shorts don't need preloaders

although personally I would use one these days because
a people expect one these days
b its easy to down load the NG one
c admin likes us to use the NG one, especially their special day one. like the Halloween one- it identifies it as an NG sub.

Replay not reply, thats a different word.

put in a rectangular hit area in your buttons otherwise people click on the button area and miss the text and it doesnt work. PM me if you have any difficulty.
Best wishes,
Ice

[-Lone- (Part 1)]

Good

+Some excellant graphics, including the reflection o f the blood and the eyes. I got the feeling you were trying out techniques. it worked!
+this gives me alot more confidence in your ability to do Brackenwood, it has some of your best work yet in it.
+Music OK but I would prefer sounds as well
+Interact good but scene select pretentious on something so small
- As for the story, it isn't the greatest- its so familiar on NG to have a hero fighting guys who mostly just stand there waiting to be sliced up.
+ However, it has potential. if you are serious about this project do tell me what you had in mind and I will give you my thoughts.
Best Wishes,
Ice

Jimtopia responds:

Cool, thx for your review, I do intend on deepening the story, don't worry about that. Anyway, thx again.
