Lobsterblues's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stretching it]

A pretty nice ride, funny idea, although you can tell it was made in 3 days.
How about making this animation again, only this time, take 6 days. You already have the storyboard, now focus on making everything look a little sweeter, add some shade to the characters, some detail to the background. For example, a wooden frame around the door, and fix the '2 shades of blue' background wall! (decorations, a see-through window)
Might sound like a drag, but it'll be a great comparison, and maybe you can add some other gags while you're at it!

BSTHEDOG responds:

Well, I would consider that if I released this before Halloween but I feel it would lose its purpose of being a Halloween flash if I re -released it 6 days later. Anyways, thanks for the review!

[Zelda: A boring day]

Well made!

The timing is just right, the animation is smooth and the joke is funny!
I couldn't ask for more.

ScottFalco responds:

Thank you, I love it when someone appreciates the actual animation instead of just the joke

[Piconormal Activity]

Wonderful!

Smooth animation, and the characters really come alive!
I actually felt sorry for what happened at the ending.
Great job, not many people can create life through flash.

RiverJordan responds:

Hey thanks for the great review! I really appreciate the comment :)

[Tails: UCW Intro]

Nice effort!

I've read the other reviews and know you want to stick to characters you already know and 'make them better'.
I'd advice you, however, to refrain from 'intense close ups'. Sprite Characters aren't made to be viewed up so close you can't make out any details anymore.
Sprites were specifically designed to look incredibly detailed FROM A DISTANCE, on a SNES. Keep this in mind when making a flash movie aimed at mostly Video Game Enthousiasts in 2009. (!)

Other than that, I hope your method of storytelling is pretty amazing, because there's a LOT of sprite based emerald story things to roll with.
You're going to have to be pretty awesome when it comes to the little details here!

Blank-Mage responds:

Yeah, I was planning on using close ups a bit, but it looks like I'm gonna have to get creative. (Says the fan-fiction writer, oh the irony.) Thanks for the support!

[Re: >L:....LAAccA}=..]

Relaxing, stylish and wondrous to watch!

But PLEASE, tell me what song you used, because it rocked my socks!
Also, the animation is smooth and it seems you both complement each other arts-wise!

notorious responds:

Ask morrowdays

[The Real Meaning Of Jazz]

You have no right of speaking!

Unless you can make an animation that has as much effort, skill and imagination in it as actual Jazz music, and is even half as fun to watch, THEN you can critique Jazz music.
I give you one star for the animation, and an extra star because I like the song! :)

See, if you'd made a funny dancing singing guy that gets shot in the face it'd be a totally hilarious short, but this isn't even animation!
Practice and try again!

Gflashrunners responds:

Thanks For the tip. I'm allready at work on a more interesting animation. Check my userpage to find out what. P.s if you check it too early you may only get a post for the mighty boosh collab and that was cancelled.

[Mario's Outstanding Adv.]

Pointless.

Just like you don't start a band to do spotless one-on-one same sounding covers, you don't make flash movies that we've all seen a hundred times before. This movie had nothing new to add, nor any real jokes to speak of.
Next to that, the animation was nothing to write home about.
I don't want to discourage you, but if you're going to make a new flash, please make something more original. Even with Mario Sprite movies, there are loads more original things to do with it!
Good Luck.

Dzanjin responds:

This movie was supposed to be a little abstract with the one liner "Outstanding". I was trying to make this movie along the lines of Robot Chicken, where the whole show is a bunch of funny clips put together. I was planning on making more movies and actually piece them together to get kinda the same effect, but I decided to make this one and see how it flies before I make the others. I've made on other flash movie ever and that was a couple years ago, so I had to relearn just about everything as I made the movie. In all I believe it took me about 12 hours to make: get the idea, draw it out, find the sfx, characters, tutorials, etc.
Thanks for reviewing it and being honest!

[On Water]

So Cheery and happy :D

This made me happy! I LOVE chunky smooth animation, and the crayons really give it this child-like innocence! The song was pretty nice, too, exactly like the title suggests!

Me likey!

If only you could write a song about chocolate chip cookies I'd make you my new hero.

Dustball responds:

Hey, that's a good idea! Though I'd be more inclined to write a song about cookie dough instead. Hmmm.... ideas...
