IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Grape Soda of Wrath]

Good

+Art and animation fine

+Funny enough

-Sound levels need balancing- the volume of the sounds is a lttle too high compared to the talking, which is hard to hear.

-Lip sync would be good- the next step

+Proper credits

Enyimus responds:

Thank you very much for the fair review. I will agree that the sound could have been balanced if I had the time; same goes for lip-sync.

[Constable Can]

Hmmm

Should I review this? I like to give the SS some attention, but its another half-baked thing and it seems mean to give low scores to my friends.

OK, so you know what the problems were and I am sorry your mike is broken, however, not all sounds need a mike, and neither does Speakonia etc.

the story was OK, if rather basic, and the art was reasonable. I look forward to the next real quality SS submission I can really support.

Best Wishes for Xmas and the New Year

[An Arrow in the Knee]

Like it

Good stuff. Though I don#t play RPG, I get the idea.

Great voices, animation, art etc.

Funny,

Intersting how the hero's left hand seems to gain and lose a finger a few times through this!

I don't understand what happens to the guard at the end, probably because I don't know what 'lollygagging' is.

[- Dimensions -]

Very Good

Does it have Flash in it as a significant part of what it is? YES

Therefore I say it bleongs here. You are in a difficult place because Tom has Front Paged and supported non-flash entries, of which NN is just one of many, but some people, such as myself are not keen on non-flash. However, I have no doubt that Flash it belongs here.

- I think the "victim" escaped the line on his leg a bit too easily.
-the running was so-so, it looked like what it was, running on the spot. Shooting it on a gym treadmill might have helped. In the second section of running it really had to become a sprint.
The animation running could have been improved, its better than anything I could do but not great.
Its an entertaining idea- Ive seen animations come out and humans go in, but I haven't seen them swap before. I would like to see what happens to the mean bloke next. I liked the should crack thing, which helped to connect the animation with the man at the end. A chunkier actor would have helped to look like the cartoon.

All in all, these are just details, its good, best of luck in the competition.

Jonimator responds:

Haha I agree the running could definitely use some improvement. Had I not been an idiot and gotten my haircut, I would've definitely refilmed that with a treadmill or something along those lines. I just wasn't too keen on having shag hair for my grad photos.. but I digress ;P Thanks for the review!

[Noobs your not alone rant]

Yeah!

+ Message. I agree that sometime Flash just doesn't do what it is supposed to. Maybe a lot of the time its me, but no, not always. Sound is my great bugbear. It just doesn't work properly!
+ sound good and clear.
+ Lip sync good, otherwise lackign in animation. The odd movement of the rest of your face would make all the difference- a blink, a smile- anything.

Art Ok, but limited
Otherwise its a bit simple and crude

Emdee-NF responds:

Thanks it was my first time lip synching. I'll try to make a good actual cartoon next time. Good luck on your sound troubles lol

[The underage girl]

Seen worse

Just about passable

+quite good art

- I can't hear all the words- needs subs to get through the difficult bits
- No real animation
-colour
-background
-stop/replay
-credits

keep trying- have a bit of patience and try to put something together with some of the above missing features before you submit again.

[Living Environment]

Quality material

+ great art
+OK animation
+much potential

-Not a complete enough submission to be what I would consider submitting to the Portal
-needs SOUND
-bats wings need to flap- see my two Halloween subs, it makes all the difference. Work on making a complete, entertaining submission with full credits and a stop/replay button. PM me if you have any trouble doing this as your work is worth supporting, tho this submission is not as it is.
