LogFish's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Orange Frog]

Boring

You need to speed the action up - there is actually very little to this flash in terms of animation - infact, there's a frog, a background, and a hand with a superslow tween. Much of the time there's nothing to look at save what might as well be a static image, and it's just pretty boring. I found myself looking away. Animating the explosion may have worked better too, rather than pasting in a random picture of an exploding boat. Nice artwork though, when you actually bothered to do it.

[So It Goes]

Um

I have no idea what was going on - but I did like some things about it -

Your shadows and zoom out from the house corridor at the start was very stylish and well done, I can see you using those techniques in future to make something really kickass.

Your music was excellent and great job doing it yourself - however it did seem that you slowed the story down to fit around the music, and with music such as that it is more of a background soundtrack than a feature point of the movie - Ie. the music should follow the action, not the other way around.

[The Abandoned Kitten]

COMPRESS YOUR AUDIO

I don't know why you people find it so difficult to compress your audio. I mean what is this, 20 seconds long at best, and it is 1.6megabytes. Flash is a WEB MEDIUM, so learn how to use it properly! An MPG would have compressed it better! That said, this must have pushed your limits in terms of Flash Animation. I thought I could do a slow zoom, but you've gone over and above the norm with this one (ONE).

Because it's different, this movie should stay on Newgrounds - but it's hanging on through it's subject matter, not the animaton skill of it's creator. Someone should parody this with a picture of Puss'n'Boots, I'm sure it'd do better.

DAIRYDOG responds:

You're so completely wrong with everything you said in your review. The flash is well over a minute, and the flash is 1.5 mb. We call it a motion tween, by the way, not a zoom. You don't know anything about my talent. You've only seen one of my flashes. BECAUSE OF YOU THE KITTEN IS STILL SAD AND LONELY. YOU ASSHAT. Please have a nice day sir, okay?

[A Timely Death IV]

Cool

Really nice and smooth, loved the trampoline bounce effects and things - the gun sounds are great, as are the different and wide variety of weapons, explosions, bullet flares and everything - reminded me of a game of worms, except much more intense, heh. Very cool, definately be keen to see the follow up to this!

[Red Frog: Episode 2]

Cool

Awesome artwork, and use of frame-by-frame at strategic places made it smooth and cool without being 4meg. Cool sound effects, I especially liked the bit where he pulls out that axe. Excellent work!

[Agent Smith Goes Crazy]

Pretty good

It was just really slow, you could have sped their slow ass talking up - I know Smith talks slow, but damn. Or perhaps put in different camera angles for the swapping of dialouge, so noone fell asleep. Good idea though, your smith impersonation isn't THAT bad, heh.

[Batman Dark knight 1]

Great style

I'm totally loving your style in this movie, it's just like the Batman cartoons - I can apprechiate how much of an ass it must be to animate this style in flash. Excellent work.

[We are Faceless]

Everyone knows that already

I think everyone knows that already - unfortunately Newgrounds isn't the best place to break the mould, as you probably know. Perhaps your movie will get to someone who hasn't yet thought that their entire life is relatively pointless, and make them feel like crap.

Anyway! It's quite well done, keep it up. Break that mould, heh.

[Heist.]

Pretty good

There's some good stuff in this, but there's also some average stuff. I can't really put my finger on it, perhaps there was too much of the same guy running in one place for a lot of the movie, and at times it was pretty hard to understand wtf was going on. This kind of rough style is ok if it's moving so fast you don't really take in how halfassed the drawings are, but you do not move too fast for this. The plot is nothing new either. Just to be pedantic, shouldn't chapter 2 come first, then chapter 1 be the 'five hours earlier' one, kill bill styles? Is that what you meant to do? *spoiler* I also thought there were some sketchy bits such as the guy being able to dodge thousands of rounds, but then being killed by a sniper.

Positive points, the music was great (except maybe amore) and it's clear you have great style. Sorry this is more negative than I meant it to be, I did really like your movie.
