Leonardo-Da-Finchy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sailormoon]

Brilliant Artwork

But you need to animate a bit more.

Something that can make it seem less slow is to have more going on at once. If people can see an obvious tween go on for more than three second, they get bored.

A simple fix during the parade bit would be to add the streamers and glitter that's often flying about. Just make one symbol that repeats itself, and place one instanceon a layer in front of the balloons, and one behind, slightly reduced in size. It'll add depth, make it look busier, and keep people's attention longer.

Sound would always be good. By the way this is sort of cut off at the biking bit, I assume it wasn't finished anyway, yet.

TreborAlmasy responds:

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you meant when you said 'place one instance behind the balloon and one in front'(for the streamer)

On a related note, the bike bit was the punchline, you see asian drive slowly on the interstate with their turn signal on. It's kinda stereotypical I know. Thanks for the comment though.

[Shape 01 - Fight]

Good...

Seems a lot like I Love Egg in style, but I think you've done quite well here. I'd like to see some more of this in the future.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks 4 reviewing! I'm making the skater series now... so :D

[The Fence]

Good stuff

All you need to work on is your artwork, everything else is in place. You're a good animator, and you had a little story to tell. This story didn't need sound effects or voice, but maybe you should look into it for your next sub. Good luck!

Ericotobb responds:

Thanks! :)
This might be my first submission not to get blammed! :D

[Command & Conquer WZHS]

You know, it wasn't THAT bad.

I know a lot of EA games suck. But you could have picked a better example. C&C Generals was a good game, and Zero Hour was a good expansion. I never came across the Scud Bug, I realise that it would be annoying, but most games have some sort of exploit in them. One example would be the thing on Counter Strike where you use a riot shield and hide in a corner to be almost invincible, or the "snaking" technique on Mario Kart DS. Instead of being a whiny baby and attacking the studios for missing one bug in the million they would have fixed, just DON'T PLAY with the ASSHOLES that abuse them.

And one-player should not be overlooked. You don't HAVE to play online to enjoy a game.

I don't see what you're point is about the hackers. In-game hackers do no damage to anyone's real system, so having Tom "save" newgrounds is a stupid stab because you wanted to flesh out your sub. And it takes a loooong while for a single minigunner to take down a raptor. And they start with one chevron anyway, 'cause that's how General Fai works.

I haven't even played in several months, and flaws are screaming out!!

Killerratte responds:

Just don´t play with the assholes, rofl, you have no fucking idea. Dude, those Scud Bug assholes are playing with you like 15 minutes, then they just build the scud and start firing at your base without any pause.

Wow, and how could i know the player is a scud bug retard, huh ?! You think they say inside of the game when it starts : "OH HAY TERE I R USING SCUD BUG" !

AND YES GODDAMN IT, THE HACKER SCENE WAS JUST MADE, BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEAS AT THAT POINT, SO FUCK IT. I MEAN WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE HACKER ANYWAY, SURE I COULD BOMB HIM AWAY WITH SOMETHING... BUT WOULD BE IDIOTIC, TOO...

Generals in singeplayer... are you retarded ? The game´s singleplayer was so stupid, repetive and boring... a bunch of kill everything/or collect stuff - missions clustered together, sold as a campaign. Wow ... and not one fucking real video between the missions. You can only see some zoomed in parts of Earth in Generals and reporters behind a bluescreen in Zero Hour... AWESOME !!!

Awww and you know how General Fai works ?! You know what, they start with the level veteran, YES, AND HE SHOT DOWN A RAPTOR, SO GAINING LEVEL ELITE. So you can guess that the guy behind the infantry general didn´t use his ELITE UPGRADE SKILL. But WHO THE FUCK CARES ?!!

God, YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... THIS GAME IS FILLED WITH SO MANY HORRIBLE BUGS, IT´S BULLSHIT DELUXE.

[Dragon's Tail]

Awesome

Your skills, that is. Good stylised artwork, and excellent animation. I don't know why folks are complaining about the loop, I thought it worked very well. Keep it up!

Jo-Remi responds:

The loop was kind of not planned, since the the Trail program expiered before i was finished. And thank you, i'll try to make something better in the future^^

[Box Alive - Trailer]

Too short, but then it's a preview, isn't it?

Practice your skills, so that neither of you suck at animating. This is not the place for people who suck. Your drawings are fine, but the need to be more... animated. This preview doesn't make me look forward to seeing the finished work. Practice.

Fion responds:

"This is not the place for people who suck."

Newgrounds. Everything by everyone.

[The Original Raven]

Indeed..

An upper-crust flash, not something you see everyday.

The graphics could use some work, and the voiceover needs to be clearer and louder. An original idea, though. Improve your flash skills and similar things will do well.

CodeOmega responds:

thank you that you like the idea. though I will say it once again, TRACKPAD but I do intend to work in flash for a bit more and see the results and go on from there.

[Billy's Problem]

Not bad

Admittedly, yes, the graphics could use some work, but they were good enough that you can tell whats going on. The rest of it was pretty damn good. Sound clarity, storyline. You've got the other bits sorted. A bit of practice on the artwork and you could create a masterpiece.

Rickbass21 responds:

Thanks alot for the review. Yes I do agree that the graphics and animation could have been better but i will try and get better with time. Thanks again.

[Engineered]

Woah.

That's just freaky. But in a very good way. Did you mean this to be some sort of social commentary on "designer babies" and IVF or is that just me reading between the lines when there's nothing there?Seriously, that should be some sort of campaign or something. It really touched me. Especially the abortion bit, and the albino alien. And the end, with a human foetus? Again, woah.

You totally deserve that meagre 5 I gave you, and some sort of tangible reward too.

Woah

professor-fate responds:

Ha, don't worry. I was indeed making a comment on those issues - in particular, designer babies.

[The Indy Film]

Good short

AS is not shite, with it this would have been a top quality piece. But enough of that. Great graphics, the animation was good at the start, and the stlye was cool. Did you realise that "Au Revoir, mon fromage chiens" is French for "Goodbye, my cheese dogs", or did you put that in on purpose? Wierd concept, but good. Maybe only a very small bag with one award in, though.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

i'm hungry, mother
