The NG Rules

"Tisk Tisk"

submission: The NG Rules
date: March 6, 2008

Nomader, what am I going to do with you? ;P Here is your review, you review whore.

First, you had good taste in music. It is probably what aloud me to keep the window open for as long as I did.

Second, your copy and paste skills are most supreme, when forgetting the very end of the movie where the text starts overlapping and it is impossible to read.

Implementation was poor, to say the least. Perhaps, I might have found it amusing with Star Wars in the background, but scrolling rules made it difficult to read and the lack of organization makes it difficult to find the rules you are looking for.

How to improve:
1) Navigational buttons and menus to go deeper and deeper into the rules.
2) Mute options for sound, or alternate music selections
3) Spiffy menu graphics to give the flash some flare

The movie was ok, Nomader, but you need to put more effort into your future flash and consider the way you present your material.

Wow. I just realized I didn't mean to submit this version because of that glitch in perticular. :D

I meant to submit a shorter, glitched version, which ended mid-way through the rules. Still, this version's pretty awful too. :D

I'm glad you enjoyed the music. It's by MaestroRage, one of my favorite artists on Newgrounds -- he tons of great music, and if you ever get the chance, I'd recommend you get the chance. This is "Newgrounds Spectrum", one of my more recent favorites of his.

I know that this was junk, gOS -- I made it in a day on my thirty day flash trial. Still, this did come up better than I expected. I'll probably add in some buttons, but I'll actually have to learn how to make a flash instead of a slideshow. :D

Thanks for the review!

Yiddish Band

"Heh, nice movie..."

submission: Yiddish Band
date: April 24, 2006

Just so you know, that movie wasn't in Yiddish, it was in hebrew...

Enjoyed it none the less, a bit short... room for improvement but still cool to see.

I think the only problem was the lack of plot or length... nothing else to really say.

Author's Response:

Thanks. Hmm, kinda confusing, yiddish, hebrew, ivrit... Let's just say it's from Israel. :P

Harry Potter 5th trailer

"Wowzers"

date: November 10, 2005

Good choice... well done in actually taking the book and applying your imagination to create it...

Graphically week at points... Some of the 3d portions... such as zooming down the hall need some work. Parts of the actual drawings look a little shotty, but over all it was good.

Keep at it and we can expect great things for you.

Awesome amount of suspense... I almost wish you were actually doing a series of the book in flash form, but this was good still

You've left me with a smile

Author's Response:

Thank you.

I'm currently working on a non Harry Potter flash in a silent film style.

Kingdumb hearts COM part2

"Glad I got to pass you this time"

date: September 25, 2005

I've been keeping an eye on your videos for some time now. You've done a pretty good job over all, but your recycling of jokes is starting to get a bit over done. It works, but switch it up a little bit next time. Maybe make the graphics look a bit better, for effect and points.

I know you are trying to parody it and don't want it to look perfect, but it wouldn't hurt for a upgrade next time around, show off some art capability.

Good job, hope to see some more, if you get some of that originality back that you started out with.

Author's Response:

Recycling of jokes?
usually i avoid it, indeed this movie is nothing more but a simple wrap up of the previous movie, people requested more screentime for the organisation and Riku, so yeah, the jokes aren't to great here.

My improvement on graphics this tgime around is not the drawing itself (for that, beavis versus butthead and Kingdumb hearts 2 trailer are experiments, that in the end failed tough but are an improvement) but more the high speed animation of the music video. It's hard to draw complete new characters and backgrounds for every 2 second scene, plus learning to draw 50+ new characters :S
So my hands were full with the intensity of the music video itself that cost creativity in jokes and art.

"You have done what most can only..."

submission: Afterliving
date: September 11, 2005

attempt to do.

Congratulations on a job well done. There are times when the graphics seem a little too abstract, however, they still all connect and so serve a purpose.

What I am refering to as what most have not done, is that you have managed to create art. Your style is unique to you and fits the video. I do not usually give high for interactivity. And you have created a new definition of interactivity for me today. Generally I think of it as a user-interface. You have managed to interact with my thoughts and it is likely that I think about this for the rest of the day.

I will not give you a ten because there is always room for improvement, and as you are new to animation you need to realize that this is only the beginining of your potential.

I see a great potential for frame by frame animation from you.

Continue your work and I will keep an eye out for you in the future.

Great job

Sugar & Spice

"How the hell did you get so lucky???"

submission: Sugar & Spice
date: June 17, 2005

You probably have a turd of the week on your hands as soon as real voters get on the portal. Not that you didn't try, but there really isn't much there... Decent use of an artistic style, but try to come up with something with substance. I can see what you did in a different movie that is worth watching. This was just too short and pointless

Author's Response:

DId you read the summary? i know i know. well thanks that means a lot to me that i am at least decent.lol.

but the bad elements were only examples of the horrible evils that ravage newgrounds daily. I say with 100% certanty that i hate all clock and stick videos. They lack originality, let alone any sign of inteligence. Clear out the crap!!!

Nice reference to all your base!!!!

May teh pi be with you

I like pi. Except after ten decimal places, then pi's an asshole, like an angry drunk.

red vs blue teaser 2

"Sorry, but i have a feeling"

date: June 8, 2005

this is just a rip off of an amazing series. (go to redvsblue com) you will see the real thing if you haven't already. Ripping off of other people is not cool. And besides you can't draw. You only used lots of gradients and guns. Not much talent apparent. No plot two teasers. Not worth my time

Author's Response:

yes halo righhhhhhhhhht, once agian i just half to say red vs blue just go good together, its better then purple vs orange i mean come on, i am thinking about switching it too color wars or somthing though.
