chillyphilly's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-My Bottom Drawer-]

Fuck Yeah!

That was awesome. Your style was wicked, great graphics, smooth animation. Oi and those explosions and splatter effects were very nice!
I noticed a couple of parts in there that looked familiar from magazines and tutorials on the web like the robot one, and they look pretty good aswell.
Pretty cool animation reel you have here.

DarkDepts responds:

Thanks, the robot was originally animated for a collab that died.

[The Coat]

What the guy before me said...

This was extremely cool. Loved it man, your are an excellent animator and its brilliant how you animated the main character in a trenchcoat, that must have been a challenge.

Graphics were rough but still well done and the fight scene was also very well animated and pretty cool. But yeah one thing that stood out was your use of a range of camera shot, angles and movement. Thats what brings an animation or movie to life and makes it a lot more engaging and interesting to the audience.

Haha, now I know you submitted this a while ago, and its kind of random how i stumbled onto this submission. Basically I looked at your site you hosted on ustudios.net. Pretty cool webhosting ey. I have my own flash site on there aswell.

Anyway you have a cool style with your animations and I look foward to your next productions.

Fickludd responds:

Kudos! Yeah it's a great hosting for sure. Glad you liked the animation, i'm gonna go check your site out now ^^.

[Go Mario!]

Uhh

Yeah, it was that great, I chuckled at the humour in your lip syncing, but uhhh...kudos on not using sprites and actuall drawing the characters and backgrounds!

[Mario In Newgrounds III]

I got the message.

But i was probably the wrong guy to ask to review a sprite movie.
I dont like sprite movies, never have, never will.
But if i was to put aside the graphics..I would still say i didnt really like it. It was boring, slow paced, and the voices and subtitles were a bit awkward at times.
The story line is okay...not that interesting but at least its different from all those fight sprite movies, even though it still did have some fights in there.
But while iw as watching this i thought how much better this could be if it werent sprites. If you had actually drawn Mario and Toad and the backgrounds yourself, it would have looked and felt so much better. I know, sprites are your style, but for fucks sake...do some real animation.
Now dont get all pissed off at me, its my opinion. Get over it.
....

Dugh responds:

First of all, I dont get pissed off at you ;)
And I dont think I asked the wrong guy to review a sprite movie. Maybe you hate sprite movies, but your review still helped me.
For the second.. Sprites are not my only style. I also make normal animation (FbF) but I haven´t submit something yet.
Thanks for your review :D

[FlashBack 00]

Incredible...

Man that was insane.
Crazy animation, sweet ass graphics, heaps of volience, angles and zooms, lengthy pico....everything a newgrounds flash needs.
Nice fucking work!
Deserves a huge score.

EvilSeed responds:

thanx man, i am really glad you think that way... thanks.

[Uberkid's Revenge]

Holy shit!

This is fucking sick! Awesome animation, graphics, sound...brilliant style aswell and brutal volience.
One of the best animations in flash ive ever seen.
Well done man.
This deserves higher than 4.12.

["Get A God" #4]

Nice.

Good message. Nicely delivered.
The graphics were a bit off puting at first, the bodies were very dull...although that does play to your advantage by focusing the attention of viewers more on the characters facial expressions and what theyre saying, i dont know if that was your intent, but i guess its a good idea.
The style of this movie was well executed. Because the majority of this movie is dialogue, the quick zooms and cuts were done well enough and the dialogue wasnt boring.
Good quality voices....volient threat....good humour.
I liked it.

Cambo responds:

You know what, the whole body thing wasn't intentional (I seem to be the only bloke who likes the look of them) but I reckon you're right.

Yeah, too, it's all just dialogue. But I don't think that's a bad thing - it's a bit of a stretch sometimes because it puts more pressure on you to write well, but you have to deal with it, right?

Besides, how can you go wrong with violent threats?

[Hardware Store (Lennox)]

I thought this flash was....

Fucking awesome!
This was very well done. Graphics wise it was pretty good...although the character animation was a little scrappy, but no matter. The best thing about this flash was the wasy you did it. Perfect synching, great pacing, and you kept changing some of the scenes for the same versus. Awesome work with the camera angles, cinematography and ideas. There are other flashes with the same song but this one was excellent...and a little bit funny too.
Anyway great work man...lets see some more from you!

[Silent Film: Rainy Day]

Great work!

This deserves a higher score. Loved the animation. Funny, creative, well thought out, good story. Even though the characters were shapes they were still brought to life.Everything a good cartoon needs.
One thing though. The ball animation of it bouncing looked a bit off. When the ball bounces up, the ease is the wrong way...i think. Unless less you were going for a different effect.
Anyway, great work!

[Invaders From Space]

Haha, well...

Im gonna chuck this out there and say it was pretty good.
Pretty funny man, and i like how you recorded the music...even though i think it would have been better if it was faster paced music of the space invaders theme, which would have given it that more exciting and suspenseful mood.
Taking note that the graphics were meant to be pixelated, the graphics of those two guys was a bit...messed up. but not too bad.
Another thing that i liked about this was the style. You didnt use the one boring camera angle...zooming in and also the 3d angle gave it more life and made it more interesting.
Visually it was anything "holy fucking shit this is awesome" but i still liked it. Pretty funny.
Did i over analyse that too much? I thought it was good...different.
Nice work. deserves to be saved.

nerdswithattitude responds:

Thanks, and no, you didn't overanalyze it too much, analysis is the best thing you can do to an animation. I'm glad you liked the 3D angles and such, I was pleased with how they turned out.

Thanks for supportage!
