redminus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dirty Obsession]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

Awesome, expertly detailed and well-animated, and TOTALLY seeing the Gary Larson similarities like a couple other people seem to have already said.
I noticed that you comped it as video... did you do the everything thing in flash beforehand?

[Warriors Movie WIP]

Looks GREAT for what it is,

but what it is ain't gonna cut it.
if you're intent on submitting WIP stuff then at least make it longer than 3 seconds, your line test work looks awesome, but sadly there just isnt enough of it to warrant a pass yet :/

[Get on My Horse]

AGREED

HOTDOG IS NOT A PLANET

[Studiosnecro Especial]

hahahahaha

Too bad it's in Spanish, well too bad for me that is, because I can't understand it but really wish I could. This looks fucking weird. I was so confused by the opening sequence, but like confused AWESOME

[LARRY episode 1]

O FUX

Damn that was intense, masterly use of the blur effect to create perspective and your pans on the crowds to give a feeling of depth were good too, you don't see that much attention to detail very often.
The characters themselves seem quite a bit less polished (pheonix reminded me of the singer of Gorillaz, hah), but I'd still go as far as to say that the amount of detail and effects used is pushing the boundaries of Flash in general. And an impressively small filesize too at only 6.6 megs?!

A year of work totally paid off here... It's almost too bad though because at some points the flash player seemed to chop or lag a little and couldnt keep up with what was going on in the animation :/
tends to be the case with a lot of complicated stuff, have you considered rendering it out as a video and presenting it that way? A little lest purist for people who NEED to see it in flash for whatever reason but it would make the playback a little even across the board, and then everyone would be able to appreciate how much effort you put into all the scenes and environments.

anyways mega GJ
5/5
10/10

Jazza responds:

yea htheres a youtube version but for some reason that has slight lag in a few places but i cant undo that unfortunately :(
thanks for the review :D

[The Library Party]

YES

I had to favorite this.
I like that you made the jump from just making a crude visual joke, to actually pulling something off that really worked. You can tell that actual effort had to have gone into the synching, and it was just the right length.

[Edwin Ep01]

NICE ONE.

This was a really good, and particularly good being that it's a first episode. The simplicity of the style was made up for by the use of textures on everything, which I really love when it's used tastefully. There's a lot of potential here for a great series, and I really do hope you keep up with it.

Kieran-s responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

[Everyday Horrors]

not a bad start

i liked the whole audio/visual idea, and in particular i thought that the blue and yellow selections worked well with the way the masking revealed the images, but overall this didnt feel finished to me... the audio needs a little more tweaking as it starts with the preloader and doesnt end when returning from scenes to the scene select, the drawings are a little bit bitmap-grainy around the edges still (could be fixed using a little more attention to transparency and importing as a photoshop image).... and i would maybe suggest doing something to make it more obvious that the hand is a scene selection, because i ALMOST gave you a 0 and moved on because it seemed like nothing else was going to happen once the music stopped.

That said, it's an interesting idea for an image gallery, keep pushing the idea further and you could have something really good.

[Hoodoos]

crazy styles

You are an FBF machine. The length that this ran at with consistently well-conceived FBF motions was really impressive, I'm compelled to give you a 10 just for that.
For whatever reason, the soundtrack and especially the voicework really reminded me a lot of early Ralph Bakshi stuff, not to mention the subject matter and overall near-1970s-style psychadelic atmosphere.
Really ambitious, to say the least. Nice work.

VillainousTurtleSLC responds:

Thanks I love Ralph Bakshi.
