Sifr's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Pirate Collab]

Great Output

// START REVIEW

0. Hello.

1. Top 3:
* Goat-Man, parodies pirates very well coupled with nice execution.
* NogginmenAnimations, great graphic.
* TommyVF

2. Music and SFX. Very fitting. The background music would probably be the selling point of the collab, very entertaining. SFX were timed very well and very fitting to the situation.

3. One bad point of this submission is the inclusion of the stick animation. No offense, but pirates have a distinct feature that defines them - their looks. Clearly, stick figures could not illustrate this. The animation, although very well executed, does not blend well with the theme of the collab. Again, this is just my opinion. No offense meant.

4. Great job putting all of these together.

[I hate MAC ads]

Great Parody

0. Hello Mr. Winchester.

1. Good Points:
* Humor, very innovative. The mention of facts was a good touch. I don't know if one would mention the same everday facts that he would have the same humorous impact as this.
* SFX, very crisp. The voice acting is good and the sound is clean.
* Concept and Execution. Well made, the stand (neutral) was a smart choice to avoid impartiality. Not offensive at all, which is always a good thing.

2. (Not so) Good Points:
* Very little movement. You have stuck to the theme of the ad (yes, hence a parody) but the addition of some movement wouldn't hurt your movie at all.
* Music. An addition of an ambient background music wouldn't hurt this short either (well, that's just what I think.) Not really a bad point though.

3. LINUX! I'm gonna get you penguin!

4. Good day and great job.

Entertaining take

0. Hello thelonelyduck.

1. Good Points:
* GFX, off the charts, the 3D rendering is masterful (kind of looked like one of those lego games). Oh and nice touch to the reflection in the eye protector of the Tankmen leader.
* Animation, very fluid, the transition was pleasing to see especially the part where the Tankmen charged.
* Sound, if I didn't look at the author, I'd say it was JohnnyUtah himself who did the voice acting.

2. (Not so) Good Points:
* HUGE file size, worth the wait though.

3. Question, why were there planes? Just wondering lol

4. Good day and great job!

0. Hello The-Red-Jack

1. Good Points:
- Short and Simple (some sprite shorts tend to stretch out a bit too long, keeping things short would avoid viewers from getting bored)
- Story (or lack thereof, sometimes its best not to think about things too deep)
- Sound Quality (clean, that's all it needs to be)

2. (Not so) Good Points:
- Interactivity (it's good to give the viewer some interaction to your submission but sometimes, the process of which the viewer interacts is somehow misused. The dialogue style (ala RPG games) allows you to avoid the tedious process of mouth manipulation and sfx for dialogues. On the flip side, it's rather tedious to read sometimes and this style is better suited for games (the "wait-for-click style). Sprite dialogues could be captioned in a time-constrained fashion to keep the motion going.)
- Story (or lack thereof, other times its best to provide a good story to support your submission)
- SFX (the sfx were abruptly cut because of the action arrow)
- GFX (why is Tails as big as Sonic?! ^-^)

3. Good Day.

The-Red-Jack responds:

Tails is almost as big as Sonic in the game anyway, thanks for the review

[Litigation Surfer]

looking forward to this

so i guess this is a trailer. in my opinion, your labor was not wasted in vain. i'm glad to see works of flash artists who work tediously for each submission not unlike the usual "blam-worthy" flash submissions. i wish you could follow this up soon. nice job!

Litigation-Surfer responds:

Hopefully, I will.
