sixflab's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Apples.]

Nice movie

I really liked this little movie. You set a really nice atmosphere with the whole thing; The colours, the backgrounds, the characters and the music all worked perfect together. Everything in this flash seemed to be perfect, for instance, one thing i noticed, even though it´s only on screen about 2 seconds, are the wheels of the truck. The idea that you used of just spinning the middle bit worked perfect, and it´s little things like that, that make this flash awesome. The characters are funny little guys, and very original, so you get to like them right away.

Thanks!

Quite unexpected

-Just when I thought you didn't use color you suprise me by using pink. But I think it makes it even more menacing. Pretty much the same interface that i'm used to seeing from you so it was easy to navigate through. Being able to pull back the text boxes to see the art is a nice addition too.

-The frame with vomit was pretty ingenious as it made me chuckle a bit even though it's a little gross. It made me notice the importance of text in the drawings too. The beginning is different than what I expected but you've never dissapointed in a good story.

Celx-Requin responds:

The forthcoming comics in this series have easter eggs hidden in the panels too!
I wanted to make everything in this follow up, better than "Cooljaw"

Anyway thanks for the review!

[COSBY wrong: ace what]

Don't be upset with me

Well it definitely does have some comedy factor since I find Bill Cosby rants hilarious. But I think it has too much Bill Cosby and not enough of the classic phoenix wrong objections and case layout. Lengthening it would most likely solve this problem.

Little-Rena responds:

OKAY

[My Demons are fat]

Pretty good

-Really nice sketchy notebook drawing kind of style. You don't see this kind of drawing too much outside of the art portal. I'd actually suggest putting it there if it wasn't as interactive as it is. But seeing that it does have a good amount of interactivity it lends itself to being in the flash portal.

-Lots of interesting demon styles and the way that you designed them. Usually you see very standard little devil type of demons but yours are much different. It didn't bother me that every one was in a different window since there is something to go with them. Overall I found this pretty creative.

TreasurePlanet responds:

I wasn't sure whether I should upload them into the portal as well.
seems kinda like I would be spamming newgrounds.
but i think i will anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

Im glad you weren't bothered by it being opened in a different window.

Thanks for your review.

[Demon Tales Ep1 "Pilot"]

Nice start

-Kind of a sad start to things. Very eerie atmosphere and the characters are vibrant. Yet you don't reveal too much about them which makes it quite the teaser. Nice and effective way to draw people into the story for future episodes.

- Voice acting is good and i'd say they fit the characters well. Overall design and story so far is compelling to say the least and could make a rather good series. The ending suprised me quite a bit. Really wasn't expecting that.

-Only thing i'd say that needs work is animating character movements and lip-synching needs a bit of a touch up. If this series is going to be as action oriented as it looks to be then smoother, crisper movements are going to be needed.

Jochio responds:

Yea, The Animation thing is going to inprove in the second episode :)
Alot of this was done around januari 2010. And the project got put on hold for a while
I learned alot of new things during that time though, and i will use this in the second episode.

Alot will be explained in the second episode. So stay tuned!

Good but could use some touching up

Focusing only on the animation and story, i enjoyed this, and its a great start so far. There are some inconsistencies in the quality, but it gets better as it goes and i'm sure the next one will be even better. My one complaint would be that you need to differentiate your stickmen better. At times, its hard to tell who it is we're looking at because all of them have pretty much the same features. Since you focus so much on their eyes, i think the easiest thing to do would be to make all of their eyes a different shape.

My other big complaint is that the major fragments don't advance from one to the other on their own. They basically just stop at a black screen. I managed to watch each part individually, but that was still very annoying. I think the credits could have been better and showed off who did what voice since there is such great voice work on this thing! Finally, the subtitles need a proofread since there were some grammatical mistakes. Not anything that is ruining to the animation and overall I took a liking to it from start to finish.

Shayphis responds:

Thanks for the review man :)

Actually your right about the features. I've already have been trying to make unique eye shapes for every character as a start, if i think of anything else that will help i'll throw it in as well.

And i'm not sure the full credits loaded for you because i was sure to put who voiced what in them. The movie does do that to some people unfortunately otherwise to runs fully without stopping. And lol yeah i typed too fast and make mistakes like that all the time, i'm watching out for that in the second episode :)

[Justin And His Snail]

Laugh out loud

-One of the more funny original comedy shorts that i've seen in recent months. It's nice to see that new talent is arising in the flash portal these days considering how much garbage I see. Wasn't too long but a well timed joke can overcome the lack of length imo.

-Nice cartoony animation and drawing style that you used and fit well with the characters. The background music only helped to this effect even more so and the chummy smile sealed the deal in the end. Enjoyed...5'd...favorited.

MrKidNinja responds:

Thanks alot man!

[DARE]

Really Touching

-The emotions I felt watching the movie 'almost' felt like the real deal. The narrative in the song is the perfect frame to work the animation around it. There is alot to be said about the color scheme inspiring liveliness of a football game to dark anguish of his mother's funeral. Your real genius shows through when you carved the jesus symbol atop flipping pages of scripture. It was just 'chilling' the way you did it...

-Like, one of the most poignient thing I thought about nearing the end of the movie is that we are all going to die eventually. We all go through life like pages in a photo album and eventually, there would be no more pages left. What memory of us lives on afterwards in the people still left alive around us.

-The main question is, what am I going to make of my life with the time I have left. I'm pretty sure the story you animated here is just one of many others that occured in real life. I envy those who either overcame "doubt" in his or her own faith to live a full-filling life or never experienced it in the first place.

Godlimations responds:

well said friend. the envy part is easy to fall upon, as i daydream a lot hehe... but in some ways, its a motion that deprives boredom, a fair compromise.

[TomatoSoup Finds Love]

LOL

This honestly started off kind of how I thought it would but it took a very interesting turn that I should have expected. Definitely fits the newgrounds theme and the simplistic animation just made it even more hilarious.

Decent length to the animation and some good music that went well with it. Still this feels lacking since there isn't much of a plot and ends right after the climax. No replay option but I like how you linked to the flash group.

Little-Rena responds:

Well thanks, I considered a replay option but that would have ment messing around with sound and getting it to stop then start again, I'm far too lazy right now, it's my first flash in like, a year, lmao.

[WaterLoop!]

Great Work

I'm very surprised on how you took a topic that occurs everyday, a topic that none of us would pay much attention to, and turned it into a fun, epic adventure of just one tiny rain drop. I loved how you almost showed all the aspects of what a rain drop will go through. My favorite scene was probably either when the raindrop was in the rainbow, or when he was flowing down the stream. Very interesting, and fun, cartoon-ish, and the music matched perfectly. Very well done. All I think that needs work is the art work a little bit in some scenes.

Veinom responds:

Thank you :)
Actually I thought the steam scene was the most boring, but since you liked it then Im pleased! The rainbow had to be the best scene because its the end of the video. I wanted to add move stuff in it but but too much are happening already :)
