IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Failed Suicide Shorts: 2]

OK

I like your Cell short, so I am exploring some of your work tonight.

I am fascinated by your huge list of reviews, so many people with so little to say between them. I notice a few people have said what I did in FS 1, that a collection of sketches would go down better.

Comparing it with FS 1- it makes slightly more sense because you can see that she survives, perhaps you should make him open his eyes in 1 or something.

Keep looking for the little details of skill, they make all the difference.

[Failed Suicide Shorts]

Its OK

A few moments of good detail, such as the reflection in the TV screen and the skull on the button.
Single sketches like this are usualy borderline 1.4- 1.9 whereas if you put a few of them together people get into laugh mode. Take a look at the Hammerthrower series (by Muskelchock) and you will see what I mean.

["Being dark today"]

Its OK.

Its nice to see a little non-english with english subtitles, its like a little bit of laguage practice while we watch.

the sound was clear, but perhaps a bit of music would have been nice- something dark?

[[CC][LL]Downhill]

borderline

i did find it funny and novel. It looked OK and I nearly protected it just to show my friends.

I guess the F Off message put me off a bit, I'm pretty square, plus the Vote Five thing gets on my nerves.

Dragons & Spirits are Ock neutral and vote on Merit only

BreadFruitLock responds:

vote fiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Picard vs Vader]

Good stuff

I like the details about Picard and his manner- well observed

+Nice Art/animation
+OK sound

[The Unusual Family: Ep 1]

Funny!

I liked it!

Weird images, looked like fun. Looks like a lot of families I know!

Some bits were a little slow; timing is very difficult, I mess about with frames for hours, only to change my mind the next time I look at one of my Flashes.
You certainly had a bit of length in this one. So far I have only seen your Baz and I thought I would check out your other stuff. Your sure can Flash.

flashTEK responds:

well thx

[BAZ shorts Ep 3]

OK stuff, funny

Yes, I have just seen 4, now I watched 3. This one is somehow much funnier, in my opinion. I think it is just the ridiculous plot.

I checked the times. This one seems longer, but is about the same length as 4. I think it is the scene changes, it makes it seem like there is much more to it.

I liked the symbolic depiction of the bag going into the plane (although I know it was just a lazy tween really!)
I didn't like the uneccesary advert for Virgin Trains, I just found it grates a little, somehow. I look forward to the movie.

flashTEK responds:

lol thanks

[BAZ shorts Ep 4]

OK

+Sound is OK, somehow just right music and OK FX
+OK graphics & animation. Flame looked quite good, better than a lot on NG.

-Not actually that funny. Perhaps you could use the device you used in Baz 2. Make his eyes blink once(white on black good contrasting moment) to emphasise that he somehow survives until the roof falls on him.

I just had an idea. Maybe at the end of each one you could put in a bit of safety info, such as a website reference appropriate to each one- just an idea- a 'professional' touch?

flashTEK responds:

lol snazzy idea

[BAZ shorts Ep 2]

OK

I preferred this to Baz 1. It had just a little more to it.

I liked the skeleton look.

and the replay worked today!

Keep up the series. I suggest you move on to small groups of sketches. Take a look at the Hammerthrow series by Muskelchock. He clearly gets less stick now he dishes out his episodes in batches of small sketches.
Polite Point-
Just because one of us hasn't got any Flashes to our name does not disqualify us from reviewing and voting on Flashes. If that was what Tom wanted he would make it so. In fact, I suggest that our opinion is valuable in a different way, since we are not wrapped up in how it was made, but we think mostly about what it actually looks like etc.

flashTEK responds:

thank you and thanks again for your advice
