MassivePenguin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hoy te amo ++]

Probably one of the greatest things on Newgrounds.

No kidding. That pushed all my buttons. Simply fantastic. Definitely the best thing I've seen this week, and it's going straight into my favourites list. Awesome stuff!

[Animation Tutorial 4 FX]

Pretty good.

Those are good was to achieve those effects. There ARE better ways, but at least if people watch this tut we should have a higher base standard.

By the way, the lightning part is broke. Might wanna fix that.

JackSmack responds:

as for the lightning thing thanks for telling me about that when I fixed the last problem I missed that little mistake I made. Thanks.

And as for being better ways to go about doing some things... yeah there are DEFINITELY better ways to make these effects. but what I'm doing here is simple yet cool effects that anyone can do. So yeah if you hand animate the special effect it will almost always look better but if you are pressed for time or you have weak drawing ability these effects will work nicely.

[Verbal Street]

Whoa, deja vu!

I downloaded this from your site via Flashkit in the summer, and it's still just as good! :D

How's Channel Surfing 3 coming along? I was gonna sign up for it, but... meh... no time...

Pooon responds:

I its finished. It'll be up sometime this week.

[Bean: Ep1Part1]

That was OK....

But why did you submit it again? This makes the THIRD time this Flash has been submitted. First by 'thecolony' and twice by you - I know you made it yourself and it's not stolen, but just 'cause it's fallen off all the lists doesn't mean you should submit it again. I mean, if it didn't do that well last time, what makes you think it'll do well now?

[Dolgy Intro]

Yah.

OK, I can see what you're trying to do, but you need to make the camera movements smoother; the transition between the trucking movement and the crane movement was very jerky, and the frame rate was a bit inconsistant.

Also, this looks like you didn't use Flash or Swift, but Maya or 3DS Max or something. Not sure if this is the right place to post it.

[Skater paradise]

........nah.

Sorry, this don't do it for me. Yeah, it had the White Stripes, but meh tbh.

Put a bit more thought into the next one and you'll get a better score. And try and make the toon last longer than the loading time.

[glass danse]

At first, I wasn't going to vote this highly...

... but then I got to the interactive parts.

Nicely done.

You get a 3 for effort

2000 frames is a lot, but that doesn't really matter if all they are is a little line zooming around.

That's not animation. That's a waste of time. What are you trying to show people? That you can move a few tiny lines around an otherwise empty page?

Please think the next animation out before you pick up the mouse, for the good of mankind.

[Pain re-LEAF-er Ad.]

Actually.... that was really funny.

OK, the animation sucked. But the humour was pretty good - good enough to save it IMHO. Work on the animation for the next one, mmmkay?

AndyM responds:

Thanks very much! I really appriciate it when people take the time to review movies.

[Kung-Fu Vs Ninja Gaiden]

Hmmm....

It's oooooooooOk. But you really need to fix bugs BEFORE you publish the movie on NG.

In Part II the running Ryu was on screen when he wasn't meant to be. And you could see the background for the next shot on the right hand side.

Check your timelines, and only put stuff on the stage when it's needed. And try using mask layers too.

Fix it, and you'll get a higher score.

VGD-Productions responds:

thanks i realized it after i uploaded it i will fix it with a updated version
