M4KBOT's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[An Irresponsible Wish]

Funny!

Hey Bitmap, hows it going? That was great. I love the voices, the lip synching is very good and it certainly had some great humor. Keep up the good work, I like these little shorts.

BitmapPirate responds:

It's going. Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I worked hard on the lip-syncing and you can thank my girlfriend for the final joke.

[AAF "Glow" Collab]

Pretty Awesome!

Very, very good, I really enjoyed it. The lip synching was very good and the graphics were great! Good luck in the portal guys!

[sto mo 1]

Pretty good try

Firstly, I'd like to say that i'm glad that my Handmation tutorial has helped people such as yourself with handmation, it is difficult, but keep trying at it. I liked this one, the first bit is a bit like Handmation 6 with the clay men. The lighting could do with a little bit of work, but the animation was pretty good, just try and take a bit more frame to prevent it being jumpy. I would also suggest making it a bit longer in future. Apart from a few things, I think you've done pretty well! Also, if you look in the last part of the Handmation tut. you will find a bit of info about the compression and the best settings, because I noticed in this one that there is a small screen and a big border. It is best to put the screen size at 300 x 300 and have the actual video covering the whole screen. I hope you decide to make more of these, drop me a PM for any further queries and I will be happy to help. Good job.

Thanks for the tip!

[Bunnykill 3 Vol.2]

Awesome

This was Awesome! When I was watching it, I thought it was done mostly with tweens, only to discover in you comments that it's mostly FBF! This must have taken you ages, the flash has got to run at 30+ FPS, i'm not surprised its taken so long to make. But it's payed off in the end for you, a big congrats for getting such a high score 4.50, sizzling xD

Oh yeah and congrats for getting front page whilst under judgement, the ultimate seal of approval.

Mottis responds:

Thanks

It's actually (only) 16 fps. YA RLLY.

By animating frame by frame I can use some little tricks that are unavailible in tween animation to make the animation look smoother. But in the end, it's only 16 fps.

[Narv]

Pretty Awesome

Wow, this was great, I love the way you synced with the music so well and the artwork was great. The song was strange but great, it sort of reminds me of Aphex Twin. At first I thought the flash was still loading when it kept stopping at the credits in the beginning, then I realised that it was meant to be like that, very clever ; )

sysrq868 responds:

Thanks! Aphex Twin has been one of my favorites, maybe it's some miraculous subconsciousness of mine to pick a similiar track from the Newgrounds AP? :)

The clipping piano was what at first hand got me addicted to the track. I always like the sort of abstract twists to things.

Thanks for the review!

[Little FBF]

Smooth

This is a very smooth and visually exciting FBF animation. he tree was well drawn and so was the background. The stick figure character was well animated and the sounds were pretty good as well. The main thing you need to work on and you'll probably get this a lot in the future reviews is to make it longer; its a brilliant short, but to get the higher marks you need to expand it more and make it longer. Awesome job!

Devolution responds:

I know it's short, I had no more inspiration...
Thanks for the review :D

[Treekeepers]

Brilliant!

WOW! I loved the way you used textured like kitchen roll and socks as objects and backgrounds. The pencil drawings were really well drawn as well. This is a very imaginative flash, i'm not quite sure what was going on, but I really enjoyed it. The music was also a very good touch and went very well with it!

MorrowDays responds:

Thanks nicholas! My favorite of the textures was the kitchen roll as the background :)
After watching it over a few times, I decided there was really no need to add a really sensible plot, because without one the animation just sort of washes over you peacefully, and that was what I was going for.

Thanks for the comments!

[Mario vs. ChainChomp]

Nice and Sweet

This was a sweet little Mario short. I quite liked it, the music was great, obviously well suited to the flash. The animation was quite basic, but entertaining, the drawing could use a little work, but at least you didn't use sprites. Only one thing though, you could have easily put in a Mario background in there, but you chose not to, it would be better than a white background. Good job!

Chrome-Demon responds:

It was meant to be extremely simple, but I apologize for the white background. Thank you for noticing that I did not want to use sprites! ^_^

[An Ambiguous Short]

Awesome Graphics

I think this is a really nice piece of flash, The graphics were lovely, the animation was well thought out and mostly FBF (+1 cool point xD) and there was something about it which made me feel kind of happy but at the the same time I felt sorry for the birdman character. I like the whole setting of the clouds and the room, it was really experimental. Oh yeah and the music really fit the flash's theme as well, awesome job mate, keep it up :D

BritishMoose responds:

I can't tell you how happy I am that you managed to empathise/feel emotion due to my animation - really, you can't pay much more of a compliment than that! I'm also chuffed that you got not just one feeling, but two out of it! Ambiguity does work!

Thanks very much for your review, it's great to hear stuff like this about one's work :D

[This is Greg]

Pretty good

I thought that the flash was a bit too slow at the start and lacked sound, but then towards the end with the chainsaw it was a great flash. The credits were also quite professionally done as well. Well, good luck with the rest of the Greg series, i'll look forward to seeing more of the episodes.

Steekie05 responds:

thanks!
