LogFish's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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?

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.

[Old: The Project Ep.0]

Pretty good

Well, personally I don't like people making 'episodes' in which nothing at all happens - but overlooking that, it was pretty good. The motorbike was very well done - almost out of place, so it's just as well those other guns were done pretty good. I think that gun they point at him at the start was a jpg? Whats with that shit?

Good on you for doing voice acting, though I think the highballs voice ruined a bit of credibility.

I did notice the little things that showed you put some effort into this, such as that 3D effect of the streetlights, stuff like that - the blood on the walls was good, it was entertaining - I'd just rather you held off releasing the movie until it was finished.

ZT responds:

"I think that gun they point at him at the start was a jpg? Whats with that shit?"
Yeah but gimme some credit man, thats a 3D modeled raster exported swift file. Thats a hella lot harder to make than one of my other guns.
"3D effect of the streetlights"
yeah, did that in swift too.
"highballs voice"
Maybe, but it got you to vote a "1" for humor, didn't it?
"I'd just rather you held off releasing the movie until it was finished."
I'm afriad 256 ram won't allow me to do such a thing.

Thanks for the review. (a lengthy and enjoyable one.)

Yea

Well I'm not a big fan of sprite animations at all, so keep that in mind. Your little mushroom guy doing the rapping was cool, but this is very repedative and boring. I know it is tempting to recycle scenes as you get further into a movie, but damn it doesnt make a good movie - you should have cut the music earlier if you can't be stuffed finishing it properly.

The music is it's only saving grace and that is not your own work as per usual Flash animator styles, and there is very little actual work here that is yours, a bit of arm and mouth movement, yipee.

It's not too bad but don't recycle scenes so much because it makes it tiresome, better to have a 2 minute good flash than a drawn out 5 minute thing, that by the end you're just longing for the release of death.

Katanaman responds:

It's not necessarially recycling the scenes. It's making them go further as the song progresses. It's also hard to make it not too repetitive because there are lots of timing issues when making an animated music video.

As for the animation, you're wrong. the arm movement and lip sync were the easiest parts(and making arm movement with sprites is not that easy!!!). The dancing took a lot more, since there were more sprites to clean up and animation to make.

[MotherHood]

Yea

If you were about 12 years old, that would be pretty good, something to be proud of. However the profile says you're 19. I'm guessing that is crap, though if you are 19, Flash obviously isn't your thing - do something else.

well drawn trex head though, and a cute idea. Would be a great cartoon if you had better graphics and some cute baby dinosaur with cute music and big eyes etc. ;)

FallenComrad responds:

this is when I say fuck you and die badly.

this flash is the way it is because I made it to look like that. it was not meant to be anything more then it is and changing it would be stupid and lame. I would be selling out to the idea that everything must be perfectly smooth for the general consumtion of people like you and the others who can't apreaciate imspired art.

so there.
