jmalouin7's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kitala The Pirate]

great start

Your drawing style is unique, very creative, and is incredible. There was a lot of work put into minor details of the animation, which made it stand out. Examples of this are how you used several different shades of brown to make the title of the flash, how you used 2 different greens in the her eyes to make them look more real, how well drawn the seagull is, how you made sure that the clothes chest had nails visible etc.

Things about the scenery were drawn well, but i did notice somethings that could have been improved. The water scenes where you see the water moving. I think it would have looked a bit smoother if you drew in more basic water pictures, it would make it look less choppy, and more smooth.

Another thing is that you have conflicting winds. In the beginning, you see the flag blowing in the wind, towards the left side of the screen, but the clouds, as well as the water are all blown to the right.

One last thing that I noticed about the clouds, is that in some screens the clouds are staying perfectly still, and right after you have them moving. This is just another conflict with wind effects within the flash.

The background music of this animation is perfect. It fits in so well. It is this adventurous music, which in this flash that is what the main character is being set up for. There is no sound effects, but that is ok because it would have distorted the background music. You also drew in slides and made notes of the sounds taking place, which makes us know that you didn't forget about them.

The last thing I could suggest is that you add "Stop ();" into the actionscript on the last frame of the flash. That will stop it from looping.

Overall this is a great first flash, that is well drawn, and I can't wait to see more from you

Kitala responds:

First off, thanks Jamie. <3 I really appreciate the criticism and compliments. I agree that the water should have been more smooth, I will quickly change that in my next flash. The winds were such a pain in the ass I definitely started to slack off towards the end with them not moving and all. Those places where the wind moves one way and then another, were really thought to be direction and facing (if shes facing one way the clouds go right/if shes facing another they go another way) but I can definitely see how that could be misread as just not paying attention.

I'm glad you enjoyed the music, I actually thought of the flash after hearing the song, and made the scenes accordingly. While I wish I could have put sound, I really was just feeling the song and I didn't want to ruin it.

I don't have flash, so I can't insert script. x_x I wish it were that easy, I can't even figure out how to have a proper preloader or even buttons in Toon Boom Studio (what I use). There are little to no tutorials on it and there's no way I've found to add buttons or preloaders or anything. I could figure out how to stop the loop, though. That's a good idea ;)

Overall, thanks a lot. I appreciate the time and effort you put into that. <3

cHunter responds:

You know the rules and so do I.

[WoW:Wrath Of Awesome King]

this is nothing compared to egoraptor.

first off, ego doesnt use computer made voices, he does all the voice acting. secondly he makes his flashes long, n full of FUNNY jokes. thirdly he does his parodies(not sure on the spellling of that word) completely poorly animated, u had perfectly drawn backgrounds(the treestump etc) so i give this 2/10 n 1/5

Frax responds:

You rock !

kittykrewwilldie responds:

It's called private registration.

[[newgrounds]]

why?

you see what im doing, im writing a review, which is indeed all what this flash is... instead of making a flash saying your thoughts about his flash, why dont you go to where is flash is, and write your thoughts in a review there?, y dont you go to egoraptors mga2, and write a review there, instead of making a flash about it

Radioactive24 responds:

This isn't a review.

It's a parody of [adult swim].

Maybe you should read the Author's Comments next time, hmmm?

[Freezepop's JEM!]

wow..

this was strange and different.....however not appropriate for newgrounds. newgrounds is ment for flash animations, not videos. although u did put 1 square of flash into it, it doesnt make a difference that it was originally a video file. u have intense video editing skills u did a really good job at that, but thats bout it, u did make me giggle though lol if you are going to do that 1 square of flash, make sure it makes ur shirts color. use the ink tool on the left side on your shirt to get that color of blue, then use that to color over what u colored over

Viewtiful-Chris responds:

The ink tool DOESN'T WORK WITH EMBEDDED VIDEO.

I didn't want to break it down either. That would probably screw up the file.

Have you ever even USED embedded video? If not, shut up.

[Family Guy SUCKS!!]

ok wtf

if your going to do a thing bout u no tliking family guy, at least put sum effort into it, computer made voices are not for anything anymore, cept maybe clock flashes, but thats it, there was no animation, just still pictures, you could of atleast animated so their mouths moved wen they talked, also, family guy doesnt suck becuz of 1 not so good joke, you are forgetting everything else that is family guy.

Heil responds:

more lame ass jokes???
