Xenophaje's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animation: Blades]

this seems unfinished... almost looks experimental

This is way too short first of all.
this is good, but where it stops is almost like a teaser. Build onto this, make it something epic and memorable. don't get me wrong - this is epic but just too short... way to short
you did a great job animating the bits that are here - transitions are great, action is cool, but where it stops... its kinda like you just hit the pause button, which is gonna piss people off.
Also the "fin" in the corner - its gonna take 60% of the people that view this a minute to notice that (some may very well think their computer froze given how you made this). At least make it loop or something.

add on to this and - if you can - add some plot to it, then it will be something people will really like.

Kwing responds:

Thank you for the input. I actually felt that this animation was plenty long, seeing as there are three characters and they aren't all necessarily on the same side of the screen, meaning you can rewatch it to try and notice certain things you might have missed earlier on. I agree that the end was sudden, but that was why I put in a finishing combo instead of just making a single finishing move or anything like that. The reason it ended so soon was mainly because I couldn't think of a way to save the red guy after he made the super slow uppercut, so I just had the blue guy polish him off.

I agree that these things work better with a good story, but I'm horrible with cinematics.

[SS - Human History 1]

Interesting

Some aspects of this I find questionable but for the most part I'm willing to believe it.
The race that came from mars could have perhaps influenced such human thoughts and behaviors such as causing violence, greed, possession, power and control, etc.
Perhaps resulting in such things as disagreement and ultimately war. is that correct?

You did a great job animating this by the way.

RiverJordan responds:

Yep :) pretty much everything on earth today was caused by the duality they brought to us, if this is story is true

[Oscar Baldwin ShowReel]

This is well animated, but...

REALLY random. At that I assume when you say you'll "update it" you mean you'll add another random piece into it, which is fine, but I just ask that have some more plot perhaps... random jokes at least. Don't this the wrong way - its good, I just find it odd that's all, but overall its very well made.

OscarBaldwinStudio responds:

Yeah. Its a Showreel. A Showreel is a collection of random clips that show off your animation ability.

[Launch (loop)]

This Is good

... but the fact that it loops the way it does is a waste of your artistic ability.
It would've been a little more interesting to see the big guy get fat to point where he explodes, that would have been slightly more interesting.
Unfortunately, while your arts is pretty good, it isn't enough to make up for the flash's short length.

mrnihil responds:

I'm too lazy to have the time to do that. Plus, if he explodes, he's not there any more, ruining the loopability.

[Rise Of A Ninja]

Its good but...

work on voice acting, other than that its nicely done

TheShreme responds:

thanks dude :D

[Mario vs Supersonic vs ??]

Awsome

You'd have made a great contributor to smbz... too bad that flash series was discontiued

SquirrelKidd responds:

Wow thanks! :D
