IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Changes Episode 1]

OK.

+Art good- needs some books on the shelves! Take a look at my Ibbys Hair Restorer- the rows of books are mostly made up of just one chunk of books in a symbol reused resized and tinted!

+Sound good- I like the two voices and music OK.
+ got lip sync- not very good, buts its a start.
+Funny. Not hilarious, but OK.

the F word a few times is not really what they count as extreme here. Its not like it graphically describes anything.
I cant imagine where this is going as a series, but if you continue with the art, the animation, sound and humour, I'm sure you will be OK.

[Santa Vs Satan]

Very good

+V good art
+good animation
+Good voices
+interesting story

interesting interpretation of santas appearance

nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't change it.
Ice

[Shell Shocked]

Excellant art

+Art
+sound
+detail
+animation

-the squares he was cut into didn't seem to correspond to the squares of the net at all.
Otherwise very good work.

[Darth Vader Walking 500 M]

Short? Not for an e-card.

It goes on for quite a long time- 500 hundred miles, in fact!

+Its fun
+making him cute is SO wierd!
+plenty of characters, keeping you going

-possibly a little to long, it could maybe be condensed a little, but it is called 500 miles... so its debatable?
could you put tracks in the background?
-credits would be nice.

followed the hyper and checked out the original- sensible to follow on from an obvious little gem, weird and amusing adaption. Like it.

[COAN Concept]

Sorry I can't protect this...

...yet.

You call it an episode, but really its like an alpha, which, in my opinion, is where it belongs.

+The art is OK, although you could improve it with more use of shading
+the voices were Ok, although 'that diamond' and 'the' art gallery are hardly relistic detail.
+the animation was limited, but OK as far as it went.
+you call it The plot, it there wasn't much really- its not that the movie is that bad, it isn't, but you create such expectations with notes like that.
I would seriously make the first episode about introducing the characters more- who or what is COAD?
If you show us a bit more before hand to show who is who, maybe showing what the diamond is- eg an advert in the paper saying "the great StrawberryCLock diamond is on show in the Legendary Frog museum this week" or something, then put in a bit more action or chase after he gets the diamond I think I would more than pass it and look forward to seeing more of your work.
Good start, but not there yet.

[Attack of the Eyes]

OK stuff

Weird, of course, didn't make much sense, but its OK. You have some ability, I look forward to seeing more from you.

You might give the eyes an iris, they would seem much more real if you did, especially if you managed to do good iris' which takes some doing.

I would say that the eyes didn't really do much, but I know that the animation ability takes time.
Count me as having put more money in the slot. I'm waiting to see what happens when you can make the eyes bounce and flex in shape when they do. Also, I would like to see what happens when they meet space ships and perhaps space creatures, comets, see them get hot in atmosphere entry, interact with each other, crash into planets and make craters, wink, get eclipsed, eclipse a planet...
so many things to do!
Add more sounds next time.

I wouldn't change this one much, its OK as it is, just put in full credits for sound and muisc source etc.

Best Wishes,

[Junior High Shorts]

Needs work

+ Well animated sitting down
+OK voices
+OK art

-I don't understand it at all. If you want us all to vote well you need to explain things a bit to the millions of us that don't have a Wii and who don't know what a facewich is.
-speed up the sitting down bit.
-make the one guy look more different to the other.
-put in credits eg sound source, voice
I'll pass it but please sort it out.

bananas-for-sk8er responds:

thanks, yea one of my friends is random and he loves to say facewhich, so I decided to put it in. I'll try and improve it on the next one or maybe make this one better and update it in edit mode.

[1 Flash To Rule Them All]

difficult to review-score

there is a lot in here, including some good elements, but most of it is not great and could do with a fair bit of work. Its certainly worth a pass, but I dont think you are doing yourself justice at present:

The quiz is fine, except that most of the stuff is pretty familiar on the web, including here in NG. Of course, the choice of music is liekly to be popular, but uploading a popular theme tuen is not a great acheivement- lol.

The fireworks were nice, I don't know it is an original idea, but I certainly havent seen it before. However, it could be made better with a buildup to a finale- a set of two or three big rockets, followed by the traditional burning 'Good Night' like they usually have at firework display- also where was the Catherine Wheel? Not only is that my favourtie but lighting the fuse and then wathcing it happen would be great. How about fountains- the ladies favourite!
Yeah, finale - ie come to an end- which leads on to my next thing...
The final stickman thing. its notm by any means the worst stick man fight on NG, but why put htis in and spoil a flash, when we are SO fed up with stickmen fighting and surely you know this cannot compete with any of the strings of very good ones. If you didn't know it was a loop I cant imagine how you though it was going to end?
generally, I notice a few strips of white edge, which you cant see when you make it- you need to use a different coloured background background, so this shows up when you publish it and check all flash thouroughly befoee uploading.

I would say this flash is OK and its worth working on
Best Wishes,
