jmtb02's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Robbery]

I dont get it

You have really good frame by frame animation technique, yet, you set it in distorted scenery and backgrounds. I mean, its your artistic license, but I think that your stick figures deserve a bit better background. Your frame by frame animation is above par for Newgrounds, awesome job. I know you meant to make the backgrounds sloppy, but I guess its just me. Great job, keep up the good work.

Why thank you. To be honest, all i really focused on was the animation. I don't really care for the backrounds and stuff. But i'll take your advice and practice on backrounds.

[I am an Insomniac]

artistically beautiful

That was incredibly well done, I have no clue why this is not getting a higher score. You're animation and effort put into the graphics in this movie are stunning. The drawing is great, and the graphics were awesome. Pixelated, but awesome. I thought the sound was perfect for the graphics. I have to say, a lot of the stuff coming through NG has lost its artistic touch. Beautiful work, I enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the good work.

Staticthreat responds:

I appreciate the feedback :D It seems to be a love hate relationship for this kind of work on this site.. Im working on my next one and it will be alot clearer and less pixelated. A whole new experience is coming soon.

[Snes Massacre 1.5]

Interesting

You had some interesting points in the fight, like when the ball of green fire or whatever was being shot back and forth, I thought that was pretty good. You are pretty good at working with sprites, not perfect, but hey, we all have room to improve. I thought it was okay, nice work.

Thank ya! i've been improving little by little! hopefully you will like my other flash's in the future

[A Better Life]

great movie

I have to say, for your first movie, that was pretty awesome.

The best part of the movie is your ability to conceptualize a flash animation and make it flow. The men slipping down the side of the wall and trampolining and everything else was well sequenced and well planned, and the stick animation was good. Your opening suicide intro was also very well done.

However, there are some points to be worked on. First, you have shape tweens in there that are horrible, and they need to be fixed with shape hints (shift+ctrl+h). These will help will the awful cliche blending effect that flash sometimes has on shape tweens. Secondly, stick figures. Your stick figures were well animated, however, stick figures are starting to clutter NG and become annoying. You should work on your graphics and get some drawing in gear.

Otherwise, it was good, and keep up the good work. I hope to see more from you in the future!

[Short-1]

simple and funny

I liked the concept of the switching between stick guys, where you transitioned between the flipping off guy and the two other guys who had the gernade. That was pretty creative.

I was not that impressed with the animation, but what can I expect, theyre stick figures, so there is really not that much to animate. I think that it was funny for the most part. Good job.

[(2004) Kolors of KlayCity]

Wicked awesome

Best claymator on Newgrounds, that was awesome. Your voices are great too. The animation and style is very fluid compared to other clay features out there. Loved it, great job, keep it up. And oh man, nice collection of portal awards.

haha thanks :)

[muffins]

okay

This wasnt a game or interactive really, more of a movie. I thought it was okay though, not great, I just thought it was original. I haven't seen fighting muffins before, so good job on that.

i swear i clicked "movie"

[Sprite Fight 2]

Awesome movie

I really liked the lightning punch, i dont know why. But you did a good job. I wouldn't call this series sprite fight, because you did such a good job it's close to not looking like sprites, and thats really good. Great job, keep up the good work.

[Embrace the randomness 1]

Another random movie!

These seem to be popular recently, but anyway, I thought it was one of the more random ones. Many people make random movies with a theme to it, but this one seems to push the boundaries of randomness with lots of wierd things. It was good, but I would get rid of the flashing colors. Maybe im just photosensitive, but it was annoying. Otherwise, nice.

[Van Helsing VS Wolf Man]

Good first submission!

Very nice, you've got some potential in your future flash movies.

Because you are new, I will give you some tips. First off, I would make the preloader a bit brighter, so we can we where to start the movie. Second, your bitmaps were a bit fuzzy, pixelated to say. Get some higher rez so when you do those close ups they are cleaner. And finally, when you do a zoom in on a character, hold the shift key when resizing, it will keep the proportions of the character. The guy got kinda smashed when you zoomed in one of the times.

These are just some tips, very nice for your first flash. keep up the good work!
