dw817's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mushroom Kingdom Live]

Not good ..

The audio was minimal. A lot of elements weren't finished, like the Mushroom People getting bigger by consuming the mushrooms. No background music. It went by pretty fast, no camera movement, terrain scrolling, or rotation of sprites.

And the one question I ask myself:
Did it have re-watch value ?
:)

[blots2]

Huum ..

Giving the little Blots voices really took away from it. It's more amusing to see them speaking in the unknown dialect like from the original Blots and acting based upon that.

There were a few elements that were obvious and really took away from it. When Robin Hood announced he was Robin Hood. Well, we kind of figured that since he had a green hood on and a bow. The Michael Jackson thing .. O K A Y I had no idea why that was there but it was.

Some of the most amusing movies are those that never tell the entire story and leave the viewer guessing, such as, we were supposed to think up words what the Blot was saying when the ball was taken from him originally. That was great. A universal language that required our own creativity to form the message.

Give it some thought.
Nice Light Sabres. :)

Hey ..

This was a truly delightful Flash movie !
Very nicely done, animated, and drawn.

Good perspective, camera movement, audio effects and nice choice for music. :)

David

[Finding Fishey]

Very nice ..

For a first submit this is excellent work !

Pretty small filesize too considering all the different music, animation, and events in it.

You should give a bit of credit to FLASHKIT if you made use of them, however. :)

David

[The Cradle]

Good ..

I think we are at our most creative in times of stress.. This was a good film but VERY short.
It would be interesting to see you continue in it, add a deeper story and really get the viewer interested in what is happening.

Nice job.
Serious story.

[Davedreams]

Nice ..

A little of the animation when he was rotating around was rough, but the rest looked great.

I know it's an artistic thing to make FLASH in B&W but please use color next time for those of us who'd like to see it in color. :)

Excellent music, animation, and artwork.

Sundial responds:

thanks, david. I deliberately put anything that is drawn frame-by-frame in 12 fps, but anything thats tweened is going at 24 fps. thats the style i like. its sorta supposed to be rough

[Madness Evil Preview]

Owell ..

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Even if you got Krinkel's permission to use his style, you should leave it to him and find your own niche.

Sorry. :)

David

[Techno Circles]

Outstanding ..

I only ask that you make it in a 640x480 screen instead of a square so when you run it full-screen it fills out better. :)

Exceptional animation, kicking music.
Very well done !

Please make another ! :)

David

[Techno Sphere]

Very nice ..

This reminds me of some of the graphics they present at the dance clubs on the display screen when they are playing techno music.

Very smooth movements and great colors. :)

David

[Drawing in B&W]
