IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Advencers of billy 0B]

Not my taste, but...

...as we share virtually the same name I had to come and see your stuff and, having seen it, I had to review it!

+nice art
+good sound
+OK tiny story, s'pose, not my thing.

IceDragonkin responds:

Thanx, its been forever since i looked to see if anyone reviewed it but im glad you did. I've PMed you with some things and hope to hear back from you. And as for the retarded joke thing. It's just one of my many faces of humor. I'm currently working on animating snippets from songs many by the artists The Used. But this is just to waste time. I really want to make something action packed and worthy of the front page. so if you have some ideas or sound creating/editting programs or sites to recommend im all ears. im using FLStudio but i need something to edit music too.

[Utopia]

Excellant graphics

+top art
+good animation
+OK story
+OK music

-green blobs look poor compared to robot etc. with pathetic animation on their basic movement.
-Music got boring
-action got repetative, the grabbing for the robot went on too long the same.

This is now a major movie, so please tidy up your notes to standard:
"as human as posible...retlate/relate... that/than the other.

Obviously its good stuff, but to be honest I came here from your prequal and I was dissappointed. the prequal has so much more to it. That seemed like a story, this seems like an idea/image/metaphor more or less.
You have great talent, not yet expressed to its full potential.

Vuny responds:

Well man, you have to remember, this one might not be as good because I made it long before the second one, and the whole idea/image/metaphore thing, that's basically what this flash is. This flash was suppose to mean something (have a message). The sequel/prequel just extends the story as far as plot goes, it's not suppose to have a hidden meaning like this one does.

[Well Enough Alone: Part 1]

So far so good

+Top class art
+Very good voice acting
+Very good sounds

OK animation as far as it went. Not very ambitious animation- everything done to avoid things like lip sync as much as possible, to the point that its obvious and a little annoying. faces move when we speak, so hiding the mouth was not enough to stop you from letting yourself down there.

You have set the scene well enough for something to happen, but nothing is explained yet. Now you must get together and plan a story with real characters and plot worthy of this artwork.

Full serials should have episodes long enough to explore people, places and action, with lighter and more peaceful moments to contrast with the action and drama. One needs at least glimpses of things like home life or family, background etc to remind us of what is at stake.

This has every chance of making it big time on NG. Take your time and make it the best you can. Keep the project going steadily, though- many fantastic projects never get finished here. Keep searching for the best talents available and get everything checked and alpha'd before subing parts.
Best Wishes,

Kuoke responds:

Yeah, I know the whole lip syncing thing, but I think at the time I was thinking that animating it at 42 fps would just be a pain, so I doged it as much as possible (Which won't be the case in WEA:Part2).

The reason that people arn't looked into is because none of these people are even close to the main character.

Thanks for the most informative review yet, IceDragon64.

[Little Christmas Short]

Nice one!

I was just exploring your Estar Wars stuff and decided to see what else you did. I remember this. I liked it then and I like it now. Its all good, but the music makes it.

[NG: Front Page typo]

Yeah, its funny.

Simple, but well enough done. I do imagine it would be like that, however, you would have to do it with USA accents to really make it seem like it could have happened.

[Tom saves the portal!]

It wasnt great but its good enough

Its quite funny and it tells quite a bit of story for an Ock movie. I didn't understand all the words, but the worst bit is the sound got way out of sync in parts, as you know. I often fight with sound sync in flash. It is the worst part of all my movies except IHR.
I have been told that you need to put the sounds into a movie clip to make the sync go right in streamed sound, but I have't got it to work yet. The answers are probably in the BBS, there are references to this kind of thing in the sound section of AS main. If you get it to work properly and master sound please let me know, you will earn the gratitude of the D & S as we are all struggling with sync problems.
Best Wishes to all Clocks

Mechanus responds:

Thanks. I'll check the BBS. I'm glad you liked it.

[Estar Wars Batle]

Getting better

As I predicted in Chap 0 the scores would go up as we saw more of the story. I did not understand all of it, such as what the hero has in his hand, which is supposed to be so funny. It looks like a nappy. What does the girl throw at the bad guy and why? Sorry, maybe i am just stupid.

yes you do have a few problems with the english but its not so bad. Did you mean to spell the title that way? or did you mean Star Wars Battle?

Closipcom responds:

It's ok, we are trying to be better... But we have a lot of Work for the university and simple do what we can can do...

And the tittle is just for parody but we know write star Wars Battle :P.

Tnks for your comment.

[Bata Cap 0 : Presentation]

Its OK

Its a little funny and its a good enough beginning. the scores will get better as the story develops. At the moment there isn't much to it and we have too many light sabre figths on NG.

[The Friendly Robot]

OK but not great

I didnt really understand it. I couldnt hear what the red creature/person was saying. It didn't make much sense.

However the art was good, unlike so many flash here so I passed it.

superjer responds:

The red creature is supposed to be "Devil Doll" from a popular shockwave cartoon from a long time ago. I wanted to kill him. It doesn't matter what he was saying. :P

[Sherbert the Cat V-day]

Good stuff

Sherbert stuff is going well. I feel you are on the edge of great things with this. Nice sound, art and animation. I wouldn't change it.

Jonimator responds:

Thanks for the review! Glad you like it!
