LightningLion's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Meet Haru!]

Hmm...

Not too bad for a first, although the sun looked off, and where the guy's arms are swinging to run, you should've drawn some stripes instead of making it transparent and relying on the body stripes. Also, experiment with higher frame rates. 24 or 30 is good.

[Wasp... Splat!]

Too many people make this mistake:

You have to crop the part of the music you want in a DIFFERENT software, because if you crop it in Flash, it still uses the whole file.

I never saw a splat either at the end (besides the word). Just keep at it and get better.

[To Help a Knocking Bird]

Very good for a first flash

Here's a tip. After the credits I just saw a white screen and the music kept playing. Add a replay button and a stopallsounds() code (if you want to stop the music) on the last frame. Other than that, there's really nothing I can say except nice job, and keep getting better at it :)

Galiant responds:

Thanks for the tip and the praise! Fixed that right up for ya =)

[Hide Your Change]

I wish this was longer!

I was really enjoying the animation style (particularly the head movement) and especially the style of dialogue. I just assumed a bum would show up instead of a stereotypical Jew. You should also add a play button so it doesn't loop over and over

Anoozi responds:

[Moon Diary]

Longest flash I ever saw

Also the only flash I've seen that gave credits for all the sound FX used.
I thought the story was pretty bland until the teeth decaying part, then it started taking off. I had a good laugh at the part where he's playing with the boat and the whale, and the Invisible Boy's 'powerwalk' was priceless. The animation wasn't really 'extraordinary' until the end where the moon was breaking apart. This is a nice change of pace for newgrounds, where video game parodies and crudely drawn experiments with lack of good humor are all to prevalent.

[Bronies]

My input

The animation was good, but could've been better. The humor was bizarre but funny, but I think it could've used a better ending. I like the music though, it fit pretty well I think. The blood was orange for some reason, was it to make it look less gory? Regardless, I enjoyed this flash. Why is it 12.5 MB though? Seems kinda big for this flash.

[naruto tournament fight 1]

The file size is so big because:

You have like 5 different songs in this flash, and I'm willing to bet you didn't crop them before you imported to flash. If you just import the whole song and crop it in the flash, it still uses the entire file regardless.

Now about the movie. I generally don't expect much out of sprite movies, and this isn't much different. The only fight worth watching was the last one, and the text wasn't too interesting either. Just keep at it and get better ;)

[Running.]

Man, that guy was BOOKIN' IT!

Nice little experiment, good animation style too. Keep it up

[Knives (short)]

That's great you tried to work on lip sync but...

you forgot to draw the knives better. and there rly was no story to this, and you shouldve added a play button so it doesn't loop over and over again. I think I told you this same stuff on 'Skits'. haha

[Skull Mountain]

Nice little story.

Drawing could use some of improvement, but that's about it. Also, add a play button so it doesn't loop over. Other than that good job!
