stoners-lunchbox's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Halloween 2006]

Very well done.

An excellent animation with a lot of stand-out style. I know you're submittting this entry early, but still... One month isn't a relatively long time. Very nice halloween card.

I particularly like How you have to "ring the bell" to get the cartoon going. Very nice touch, i'll hand you that.

Got a startle out of me so it must be a good halloween card, perfect to be watched in the dark. Good work! Keep it up!

Art-by-Andy responds:

Thank you very much. Halloween starts at my house on October 1st. We're Halloween freaks! And I love it!

[Elimination 3 Preview]

Clinching

Nice preview. Makes me want to watch the actual feature. A few tips: The preview should've contained a little more footage (just five or ten more seconds would've done the job). Last, but not least, check your spelling.

Apart from that, good job and keep it up!

Splurgle responds:

Lol, I know I spelt ultimate wrong lol, rushed. Thanks!

[Madness Elimination 2]

Not bad at all...

Out of the many people who tried capturing the Krinkels feel you're one of the few that have gone quite close. I've said this about a couple of times only because i've only had the chance to say it that many times. Graphically, the only flaws were that the movements were too rushed. You would've easily gotten it perfect if you would've used up more frames for your movements. Otherwise you did a good job.

Looking forward to your next debut!

Splurgle responds:

So do I. THANKS!

[Madness Elimination]

Not a bad effort.

I've sen many people trying to copy Madness in every little detail, animation style included obviously. The movement was not exactly the same but it went really close.

Keep it up. good luck with the sequel.

Splurgle responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the comment. You'll like the sequel too!

[-MASS-]

So tragically true...

The point you made in this film is quite visible and plausible just as much. We all wish it was that easy to make a difference...
Well presented animation with interesting graphics and sound. Your style's quite refined and it's constant throughout the whole film.
Animators get overlooked all the time. Newgrounds is nowdays more popularity and personal preference driven than back in the time when every technical aspect of the film was better observed. That's what downgrades the scores of some films and that's also why we haven't seen any 4.5 and over graded films and games.

Anyway, mondo job on the submission and i hope i get to see more work from you in the future!

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

thanks for the review, lunch stoney person

[FFF: Shodown -Chapter #13]

Excellent treatment, good storyline, good result!

Shame you got second place. This was treated and animated better than my submission. It deserves daily feature. Well, at least you received front page...

Either way, nothing for me to add. You left no room for error (not that i can spot any) and delivered a great story. The sprites were so well animated that they didn't even seem ripped at some stages of the film.

This gets my 5 for sure. Keep it up!

SplashKhat responds:

Thanks mate, Honestly I left the whole ratings drama behind me, people will vote the extreme's just to shift a submission by a single rank. You have class to come in and post a review like you did. I'm not at all hurt by being second. You have a cool film, its a big tribute to Newgrounds. Enjoy first place ^^

[How to make a good Flash]

meh...

True... The way some people decide on how they make a submission is somehow the same way you represented in your exaggeration... But you could've presented it better. It seemed kind of slow... What about subtitles to make it easier to follow? Perhaps a mouse icon dragging around the screen would've looked cool, or making the film look "funny crappy" rather than "real crappy". I know you did it on purpose. I commend you on your bravery. Unfortunately people won't always be so lenient toawrds a "stop and think" submission like this. You know what you wanna say, just concentrate more on better showcasing of your work. Otherwise you got yourself a pretty cool flash.

Keep it up!

Muffinator responds:

Hehe. Thankyou for the constructive critisism. That can be a help with this kind of thing. ^-^

And yeah. It could of been better. But really. I just made it quickly for fun and didn't want it to interupt with my other flash projects to greatly. I'm working on something a little more professional then this joke.

[death and itchy]

LOL

Sound was a bit butchered and the graphics could've used a little shading, but this film gets an 8/10 for entertainment!

I laughed like an idiot for a quite a while after the film was finished. Nice effort. This HAS to be made into a series. Please, PLEASE make this into a series!

NG Wants to see more of Death and Itchy (and don't forget Tornberry!).

Good job!

zeeloph responds:

im writting the script to the second right now also drawing up the char models for the animator...and buying a cattle prod so it gets done

[Sonic V.S. Super Sonic 1]

Average... Needs inprovement but nice try...

Storyline wise it needs brushing up. It has no closure really and the part where Sonic and Super Sonic detached bodies can become unclear to some unless you make it more "idiot-proof". Byt the way you used the sprites in this animation was impressive. Only flaw is that you did it with 12.5 frames a second. This can bore the spectator's eye and obviously chop the animation up. Try 25 frames a second (30's only for people who got the balls to animate that many frames. 30 frames per second is pretty smooth and a ball braker to animate with). 25 fps and a better storyline structuring. Otherwise it gets a 7 for coolness! It actually looked like Sonic Spinball in some scenes. I loved that!

Try again and i'm sure that you'll get an awesome mark for your next one!

Vixin-McCloud responds:

There are two types of people in the world: those that can count and those that can’t. The movie wasn’t made in 12.5 fps, it was made in 15. I didn’t see the need to speed it up because one, when I did speed the frame rate, none of the sounds were synching properly; and two, I didn’t want the whole movie to be over in three seconds. I reckon I made it fast enough to keep the fighting intense, but not so fast that people get lost easily. Also, like any kind of spoof, it requires some background understanding, no matter how much “idiot-proofing” you put into it. As I said earlier, I didn’t have much on the storyline to begin with because I wanted the movie to start off like a regular 2D Sonic game. Break in, fight robots, beat Eggman. Not much of a story to it, but the story should pick up as it goes. Thanks for your advice though.
