Crusty-Wiwuh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

Good? Yes.

Second Place? No.
This movie is grossly overrated. It's a cool song but next to masterpeices of animation and humor like the Brackenwood series and Fallen Angel this shouldn't stand a chance. People shouldn't vote high on a movie just because they support its cause.

You were totally the first parson to say that!

Brackenwood is like the opposite of my animation. The graphics are flawless, but the purpose and such leave much to be desired.

Here, The song (in my opinion) and message are flawless, and the animation leaves some to be desired.

I like the way the animation is, I'm sure I could have animated this 'masterpiece'fully if I had wasted a bunch of time making backgrounds and such, but I think it would have taken away from the point.

You say "People shouldn't vote high on a movie just because they support its cause." , where it is just as logical to say "People shouldn't vote high on a movie just because they like the animation".

Both are true, the top rated flashes should have a mixture of all these things. I think "Dad is Home" should be the top rated flash, because its not lacking in any area. I think the fact that the brackenwood series dominates the portal is unfair to us flash artists who haven't worked for disney.

lol

it was good... most of the movement was unrealisticly slow though. if you make a movie and it's too slow just boost the framerate a little to speed it all up. the falling background could have looked better if you tried harder with it, and there could have been some gore or a better splat effect when he hit the ground. Study good submissions to see what techniques people use. keep trying, you have some skill.

meh

i watched your stick movie and this was quite alot better. the sticks looked rushed and scribbled and not very presentable. Greenday have more that 1 song you know, most people think the pre-american idiot stuff is better. back to flash I think you need to use full body animation because your not great at sticks. Stick movies only do well if the stickmen are presentable and well animated. try to make your drawings more impressive, study good submissions to see what techniques people use.

meh

after the 'staring...' bit the screens went a bit too fast. a decent advert though. I wish your RPG luck...

hmm...

I see many things like this: good drawing and the right ideas for animation, but the actual animation is choppy and confusing, possibly rushed. try to make your animation smoother by adding more frames to movement. make sure there are slight pauses at appropriate times so the viewer can realise what is going on. watch your movie and observe places where movement is unclear, then go back on work on that part. look at how you and other people move to get realistic movement. animation like this takes time and commitment which it didn't look like you used in this. If you really want to be good at animating, and produce something people will enjoy and admire, you have to keep practicing and spend time on what you do.

backgrounds didnt fit the screen

I cant see why everyone is so afraid to overlap the stage with their backgrounds... you dont have to fit them exactly around the stage, that just leads to gaps around the edges of the screen. other than that it was decent flash. keep practicing.

meh

wasn't bad... but wasn't amazing. optimise the music more plz. try harder with the backgrounds so it doesnt look like places are in the middle of nowhere. I guess just watch your movies a few times and look at thingsthat could look a little better before submiting.

*sniff*

so beautiful... very well used sprites, Very nice drawings/animation, great choice of music, touching story. I rate style by how good the animation is and humor on the quality of the story btw. This is a very good sprite movie and I look forward to seeing your future submissions.

[Ghost writer]

lol wtf

That was well drawn, well put together and I thought pretty funny. I think it deserves a higher score than it has so I voted 5... I cant see why everybody hates it so much... I say keep it up!

Because they're tools, or maybe i'm a bit before their time.
