IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zomboy & Kadaver Trailer]

Got potential

Submit as an alpha, with more info and I will give you a full review.

Tetsubo responds:

Not sure how to do that but things unfortunately changed since I dreamt of producing this series and it's no longer my priority.

[Clayland - Skateboarding]

Good

I don't even bother with Klaymation usually, but I'm glad i did.
Most KM is poorly lit blobby crap I bl@m a lot of it.
However, yours had:
+ good story
+ OK voices- ,though maybe another voice actor would have been better than u x2!
+ Good lighting
+ good lip sync- not great but OK- it really helped the movie.
+very good sounds.
+nice use of props

this is one of the best I have seen here and 7/10 is probably the highest I give for KM.

TechFlash responds:

thanks, man!

[LL- Locktopia Geographic]

Good. Funny

Its all good. Liked the video camera effects.

I also liked the 'your ticking again' bit- I remember being anxious about submissions, myself, and getting distracrted when I'm supposed to be animating. In my case I do research for my quizzes and get lost exploring Wikipedia!

Its got some nice touches. I was actually hoping it really was a movie describing the Lock Legion- is there one you would reccomend?

Best Wishes to the LL from the Dragons & Spirits

ClockLock responds:

Ah, sorry for the late response... but hopefully I can explain things about the Lock Legion with an upcoming flash. Lock Day is May 26th, and it'll be out then. Thank you for such positive comments and feedback!

[Christmas for one, please]

Great!

+Superb art- beautiful details- footprints, snowflakes, glow, flickering shadows, shooting star
+ beautiful choices of music
+Top little story and perfect images to go with
bravely didn't have a soppy cc 'we luv u' ending.

fifen! (extremely rare for me- hit the spot in my heart etc!- no, really)

Y no replay button????

Just wish I could do HALF as good as this!

Best Wishes,
IceDragon64 of the Dragons & Spirits

Eternal-Panda responds:

Lol, the last scene is smothered in code and movie clips and for some reason I couldent get the button working, so I just said screw it and threw in "The End", heh.

Merry Christmas

[Pootytang: Saddam's Story]

Sorry I can't protect this...

I guess Im throwing away BP points but for what its worth...

+a little humour
+ quite quick off the mark (but not the first, nor as good)
+ some interesting choices of pictures, hinting at a moments thought and understanding

messy, misspelt and basically just a slideshow. Ive seen much worse.

for the record, although I have little doubt that he was responsible for atrocities and should have been punished severely for genocide, like many dictators, he did many good things for his country at first, especially education, and will (unfortunately) be idolised and martyred by those in his country who wanted a strong leader to stand up for thier cause.

Spy responds:

thanks for the long and helpful review.

[Starwars Outakes]

Ok

Farily basis spritey parody thing, pretty familiar and not exceptional, but OK. brought a small smile.

needs a little tidying up: Edit title; slow down credits.

otherwise OK

fathom5 responds:

Ty for pointing that out.

[ts_Xmess_part_4]

Very good

+you made it! in the end it all makes a good story. Depsite various hiccups and queries on the way, which can all be sorted its good stuff. Nice collection of voices, well edited and well put together. this is within the realms of professional stuff you see on TV- tho its still not what i personally would watch!

-timing is spelt thus.

Best Wishes,
Ice

merit44 responds:

Lol! Well, this type of anime humor is basically preferable taste. Some will crave it and others will not. Just don't let this lead you into thinking that is what is to be expected as far as the future of this series because it was more like a holiday spoof to make good humor and light of my characters. I think its time to introduce these characters to newgrounds and stop farting around with these have baked ideas lol!

[ts_Xmess_part_3]

Pretty good.

+ very good art
+ good animation
+ OK story, some good touches

sound good, music good, voice acting better than some of your earlier stuff.

Isn't that girl rather well stacked for a squeeky little kid? lol!

I don't really understnad the storyline- maybe one has to understand anime formulas and rules to get the hang of this kind of thing. The story seems to be written as if we should already know the characters from somewhere. I suppose your going to tell me 'it will all become clear in the end' like so many flash authors say on NG!

If you really want us to see all the parts you should do as I said yesterday and say so neatly in the notes and again in the movies-
hyperlink to earlier parts in an intro and hyperlink to later parts at the end of each movie. This is important. Do it now.

Personally I don't like this whole genre all that much. the whole 'people stand there and wait for someone to throw a magic spell at them' thing drives me nuts, but hey that's not important.
-its good of its type, I suppose and i am sure it will get better.

Personally I think the titles would look better with the ts in capitals.
you could have notes at the end for people who get interested- see our DS movies and games, they all have 'more info buttons' In them you could, for example, tell us what the name techo- whatever it is means and perhaps where you get your inspiration. Remember, people who really like this stuff are the ones who will keep a check on you and vote high on all your stuff, so serve them well- you need to make your movies understandable and OK for everyone, cos everyone votes here, but aimed mainly for the real people who love this sort of thing- a balance.
Best Wishes,
Ice

merit44 responds:

Thanks for the advise all the way throuh. A lot will follow later after I get a broad band connection to update but it will be done in time.

[CC - Clock Day Deadline]

Whoah! made my head spin!

with humour, pace and vitality!

its crazy, its fun. I wouldn't change it.

I couldnt follow all the stuff at the end cos I don't follow the BBS at all- so I wasn't clear on whether it was supposed to be at all true or whatever, but hey, who cares?

Kumquat-Lock responds:

Thank you for the review sir.

[Angry Faic Christmas]

ToonCastleTV responds:
