someplaceelse's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Freedom of speech]

Awesome.

Outstanding job on your new cartoon, I think it's actually pretty good. Many of the jokes made me LOL, so your jokes are fine already. The only thing I had trouble with were graphics. Try making them a little less messy, bet good job overall!

Agentluke responds:

Thanks man.

[an odd day at the zoo]

No really it's good,

Better than I expected even. Unique story line and everytihing, Next time you can try adding sound effects and improving the fbf animation by using methods such as a higher frame rate. Maby you should try erasing stray lines from your graphics. Not all that bad, and definatly not deserving the score it has (as in the score is lower than it shouldd be.)

thanks dude

[I Got No iPhone!]

So,

Animation is actually good, all you need to improve on making the art less messy by erasing stray lines, and I don't think making the main character have a stick body and stick arms and legs doesn't look very appealing. The lip syncing was horrible. Try setting the music to "stream" in flash in the properties window then match up the sounds with the mouths by clicking and draging on the frames containing the music.

(psst- you seem to not know about the "other one" There is already a music video of the same song made by "sh0t-d0wn" I suggest you watch it)
3/5
6/10

[How to Hook Up the NES]

Wonderful...

Like the NES, this cartoon is the best.

[NG Time Trial Challenge]

Ok, so.

Let's start with the worst one. (as everybody thinks)

ZT's entry-
Stick figures shooting eachother over a partialy white backround with a repeating sound track isn't a quality flash movie. Try better next time.
2/10

Now with the second to best one.

Squeezy's entry-
Very classic, but can get a little bit boring, especialy over a white backround.
5/10

Now with the best entries.

Luis and HeRetiK's entry-
Hm, ones a Tom and jerry-like cartoon not to mention awesome animation, and the other's a thoughtful and calm slowly animated (but still not boring) music video. I think we've got ourselves a tie! *ding* *ding* *ding*
10/10

[How 2 Succeed on NG]

*sad*

The art was good, but everything else was not good. The humor was poorly writen and portrayed.

The truth, as everybody knows, is that this is the easiest fastest cheapest way to get on the NG front page. I could have made front page anytime by following your advice. It annoys me on how many people do this though. I've seen others boast on how they've got Front page first submission. When it is just some cheap movie with no originality. Many animators are praised for their work. Few deserve it. Heck, alot of animations and games that are clearly better than the ones who make front page get scores arond 2.00.

What also annoys me is that the fact that when ever good animators get low scores, they sometimes respond with an insult. Like you did to the guy below me. For example when somebody say something productive and helpful the creator responds by saying something like "fuk u u fuking fggot" or "You can go fuck yourself".

[Wierd WTF movie]

It's OK...

For one, please don't use a white backround. Make backrounds on your own. For two, Please work on your lip syncing. Don't just make some empty black shape and call it a mouth. Try filling it in with something, add teeth or even toung when the mouth is open. For three, when you are doing Frame by Frame animation, please use the onion skinning If you haven't already, it will help you by showing the frame before the one your on. For five, I think you should use a tablet to draw. Your drawing already look good, plus you used the gradient tool to shade them, so that will probaly give you a head start. Those are my suggestions for your next release. If you release any more, you could probaly be very good at this. You definatly have the talent to. ;)

xelander responds:

Thanks for your awesome review!
I happen to not have money for a tablet.
But you atlast doing a good review, thanks.
