Afro-Ninja's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[lll_Deception Part 4_lll]

Good stuff

Alex, I think this is a momentous improvement from your recent movies. Well, the last one I saw at least. I love the NG theme. Voice acting was good, although watch out for those mic pops. And yeah, maybe a little lip sync couldn't hurt next time : )

But overall, <3. I look forward to your future improvements!
(and congrats on your upcoming daily award!)

alexsmolik responds:

Hey ! Glad you liked it man !
Woaw, Shawn Tanner himself is reviewing my movie? What an honour... I'm glad you noticed the improvements I've been trying to make, along with the NG theme. I tried to make this movie a funny movie, and this is the result. And oh, I have NO idea what are those mic pops! They aren't on the .wav file ... it's so weird!

About the lip-synching, I'm a terrible animator, at least, that's what I think. Plus, I'm very lazy, so when it comes to TRULY animate ... oh well, it's a whole other story. I've tried lip-synching in the past, in vain... with time maybe things will get better !
I don't know about the award though, maybe, who knows ? There's still 4h until the next day, in 4 hours, many great submissions can arrive. But I'll try to be positive ! =D
Thanks for the kind and motivating review.

You're so close

Watching your movie aggravates me ;)

Look dude, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You have some really good movie ideas. Good sense of direction, good music choice, etc. But please, please please please

FIX YOUR GRAPHICS

Your graphics have barely improven since your first comet magnum episodes. Honestly, you would get 4.0+ for your movies if you could just spend more time on the drawings. Study Perspective- Drawing from one or two source points (when doing architecture) will make all the edges line up and look correct. Many times your buildings have lines that slant four different directions. Cut back on the gradients, they usually don't look good unless put on a flat surface. And lastly, keep an eye on your body proportions. Sometimes they're fine but the next instant they can look insanely out of whack

I would expect these kind of habits from a new animator, but you've been around for a couple years now. Step it up ;)

[Freak: Episode 2]

god-like

Really man, it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said. The attention to detail and scenery is unremarkable. The cars driving the freeway in the opening shot, hair and grass blowing in the wind, the picture being moved as the guy is shoved against the wall, etc. etc. etc.

Excellent camera angles, effects, 3-d, EVERYTHING : )

awesome

[Only Superhuman]

Hehe

Nice animation, graphics, all around presentation, especially for six days. But I saw the ending coming ten thousand miles away :p

I find your lack of faith humanity understandable.

Good Stuff

Congrats on your first award man : )

alexsmolik responds:

Hey!
Thanks man... I'm glad you liked it.
Haha, yeah, it's my FIRST award and I'm so proud. Because I mean, it's like the first award I ever get, and it's all done by myself you know ? So I'm so proud.
You've got 16 Portal awards lol...

Thanks for the review ! =]

Stop humiliating yourself

It's obvious you can do flash. So make something worthwhile! Enough of the fucking porn and pop-culture games/movies. Selling out your flash skills to make money from porn sites is bad enough man... BE ORIGINAL

[The Jiggly Butt : Foamy The Squirrel]

Hmm

Please vote high for sex appeal

thx

[TOADS RAGE 5.5]

Not bad

But c'mon man, this is what NG alphas is for. upload demos and trailers there, and the finished product in the portal!

mchawking responds:

Well I try to make my trailers and stuff worthy, they aren't like most peoples you have to admit that.

[Fallen Angel: Teaser]

Disgustingly good

Heh, this is the kinda stuff that makes me want to stop making flash ;)

Never expected this to be such a hit? are you fucking kidding me? :p I think it's pretty obvious this beats out 99% of animations here at NG, and the last percent are disputable at best

[Pico's Unloaded]

So umm..

yeah, I think I got actual wood when pico started breakdancing
