shade-v2's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skater's Surprise!]

Ya know what.

I'm not even going to post a review for this one.

Um... i think you just did?? Thanx for voting!

[Christmas Values]

Merry Christmas!

Rob here has given the NG viewers a special present this Christmas! It's a great big Yule Log. Brown, stanky, and chocked full of peanuts. Yes, this movie truly is a piece of shit. I think theres a three year old in Israel who couldn't quite catch your subtle "message." Original too, wasn't it?

I wonder how much space is taken on NG's servers with this massive line of reviews.

[stunt experience]

Great shit!

Really nice FBF work. And it's put together so perfectly. Just when I'm about to close out and vote a four I find one more button to push that extends my violent viewing pleasures doubly - which of coarse, led me to vote five!

[SnowyFight (GuruD.)]

Pretty Good.

I'm surprised at the score this animation has. I would imagine this to be somewhere in the 2.+ range. Pretty damn good frame by framing. And when combined with the 3d backgrounds really makes this look nice. Of coarse, if I were throwing out suggestions - Plot, charector development, more scenes with less action. Yes, I said Less Action?! What I mean is that you need to consolidate your effort. It's clear you spent a lot of time going from layer to layer drawing and redrawing all these movements and actions and they look great for it. But! For the effort you must have put into this 30-40 second clip, had you stretched it out, you could have had a 3-4 minute animation. My only real suggestion would be to take a queue from THE MASTERS of stretching 2 minute action sequences into 24 minute episodes- Dragon Ball Z -and maxamize your efforts end result. Good job.

GuruDragon responds:

Thank you for your time typing. I also appreciate the ideas, as do I from other reviews. I put this here to have something that didn't suck, so people would think I wasn't participating.

[Fighter Pilot]

Not very good.

Though the 3d construction of the plane looks really good I can only assume it was not built by the author of the film. I'm making this assumption because nearly every other aspect of the animation is of substandard quality. The motion tweening is horrible and even the 3d simulated movements don't mesh at all with the rest of the film. The F-16's are horribly animated and the explosions are hideously gif89a. The one reedeming quality of the film is that it somewhat reflects what actually happened to flight UA93. If, in fact, the author did create the 3d objects(doubtful) then he or she should take a good long break from posting at newgrounds and learn a LOT more about Flash animation. Being able to combine Swift 3d with Flash 2d is a great skill; unfortunately, it's a skill this author has yet to master.

[Newgrounds News]

Well...

I like the concept. As others have already mentioned, if you took it the route of critiquing the Newgrounds scene and giving props to those deserving, it could be a nice regular installment. I agree you ought to tweek up the graphics a little more. It's one of those ideas I wish I would've had. Damn you for stealing my idea before it came to me! You bastard!

[The Void I]

Pretty goddamn nice.

I'm not a big fan of Clock films. Most of what comes out today in the name of the clocks is either purely untalented newbie crap, or a well put together, though pointless and annoying, 'music video' with the same old cat spinning records and Steven Hawking's face smathered all over it. Another thing that bothers me about the clock films is the unintelligible synthesized voices. Most often these 'clocks' have absolutely no concept of audio quality and as such the sounds and speech come out clipped and distorted and the levels are all over the place. I have many more reasons why I don't like clock films -- but I can now say that there is a right way to do it; That it can be done with both graphical and audio quality; And that there might actually remain some reason for clock films to continue to be made. This film was excellent and, to date, stands as that which all clock films must live up to. The plot was excellent, though I'm not as concerned with the plot as I am the pure quality of the thing. If more 'clocks' would put this kind of effort and skill toward their animations, the Clock Crew wouldn't be the neophytes tool that it is today.
