Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bunnycat]

he could be

++++ Loads of fast animation during the 'battle'.

++++ I love the wording of the moral. Chuckled heartily.

Nothing really negative to add... I still think he could be a tad more expressive though.

===
At first I was marginally disappointed by the fact that it was a fight, as so many are on NG, but loved the way it ended.

Wonchop responds:

Heehee

[Bunnycat 2]

'mistake' made

+++ Sharp vectors

+++Really expressive voices

+++ The ninja's 'mistake' made me chuckle.

-- Maybe you could've had Bunnycat be a tad more expressive? His actual eyelids/shape-of-whites-shown never change, for example...

-- I felt the end could've been directed better. I think we needed a slightly longer build between showing the rancid flies, glass etc. and him licking it. Maybe he could've shrugged, maybe pausing a second longer... just my kick-ass opinion.

Wonchop responds:

Well expressions I'm a bit weary of since everything is tweened in this instead of the keyframing I use in the usual animations. I'll experiment with stuff in the future.

[jeremie's PACMAN]

start eating

- Limited animation.

++++ Really expressive drawings and faces.

-- I feel at the start, we should hear some talking, maybe going 'ooba obba ooba' or whatever. I actually wondered if it was a silent Flash or if my Flash Player had fucked up.

+++ Cool music, fitting well throughout.

++ The ending wraps it up nicely.

===
I enjoyed the whole thing. I thought Pacman and MsPacman were gonna start eating each other, but oh well.

Freaky and cool.

[experiment 2]

what I saw

--- I HATE the auto-starting of movies. Put in a play button after the pre-loader. Even though it's short, I wasn't expecting it to actually start without a prompt from me, so I missed the first half first time around.

(Watched it a couple of times after anyway.)

--- HAving an icon that's not part of the movie seems a crappy thing to do. I was expecting cubes, and was disappointed.

- When the floor moves, the piles of bones don't move exactly with it - they seem to slide slightly.

++ The end 'creature' is kinda freaky, in a good way.

+++ Short and unpredictable.

===
Not much here, but I kinda enjoyed what I saw. Could be a lot more brushed up though.

FireHound responds:

I often forget to place a play button... yeah, the icon.. well, random movie... random icon :) hehe.
saw the floor-moving thing myself too, too lazy to correct it.. just a crappy flash anyways:)
was planning to make the creature move but... takes time and didn't think this movie would be worth it
well, short and unpredictable, don't know if that's a positive thing :)

thanks for the extended review

[51 hit combo]

it for the few

++ Cool premise.

++ Fairly fluid motion.

+++ A fair variety of moves.

++ The start adds a bit of humour.

--- Lack of detail.

------- I hate movies that auto-start.

- I think it'd wrap it up better if you maybe had the guy stand up and wipe his brow at the end, or something along those lines.

===
Cool thing. Certainly enjoyed it for the few seconds it lasted. Seems like this competition's gonna spawn a few great entries.

Care to share the details of the comp?

[-+One of a kind+-]

towards the end

- some of the tweened motion at the start looked crappy. (specially the stretching chests for heavy breathing).

+++ The 2nd wolf transformation - specially awesome.

+++ The punching towards the camera. Also, most of the motion near the end.

++++ The break-dancing in the credits: mega-awesome!

- The bgs were a bit bare.

-- I'd have liked it if you'd set the stage a bit better. Maybe shown us a bit of the characters near the start doing whatever activities. Or maybe had some flashbacks revealing that as a wolf he was killing a former best friend or something. As it was, I found myself totally indifferent about who won the fight. I didn't really feel like your characters were alive.

===
Some cool animation towards the end, but a bit of character depth wouldn't have gone amiss.
