IWantSomeCookies's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pulmonary Archery]

Wow.

This is great, it all perfectly went into sync, really nicely done. I think you'll pass lol.

The effects with the made images out-side of Flash, the clouds and stuff, was a cool effect, atleast you didn't try to do a bad drawing of clouds.

I liked it how the blue circles came in, with the music, they went out, also with the music, it was a nice touch, but the only bad side was the length, it was good for a class project but not really for the portal. I like to sit there and enjoy a nice music video, which this was, but as I started to relax.. it finished. Haha -.^

There were alot of images made outside of Flash, which was mainly it's flaw for the portal, but not for class.

I think it's perfectly in sync, and it really captures the atmosphere of the song with this Flash. The guitar 'solo' was a nice touch to liven things up a bit, and were everything came in and out with that so perfectly.

I think you should make another one, but way longer, really long. You see how high the score of this is now? If you make it longer it would be even higher. ;-)

[TheFallenPriestess: Kikyo]

Hey.

The intro was really good, with the sound and then the characters came in. And also little touch with the humour. I have never watched these series so thanks for the note, also, at the beginning; yet it was a bit fast! I'm not that fast at reading, yet ;-P

I was really impressed with the openning scene, the graphics were really nice, bold colours, and with the backgrounds that complimented the other colours around it, you have a nice touch when it comes with shading; except you didn't shade the characters.

The animation was alright, it was more motion tweening then FBF - except for the hair - which is really what that style is mainly about so I liked it, except for when the people jumped out of the way of the arrow, it looked like they were flying; was that on purpose? Where they supposed to fly?

The graphics were really good, the proportion for the characters relating to themselves, backgrounds, etc. was really good, I was really impressed in what someone can achieve in Flash, and the ending graphics were nice, with the shading.. maybe you could implement that into the main movie.. I know it would take longer, but it would be a great touch.

Like I said I haven't really watched the series, so it was reasonably confusing on what was going on, however I will hopefully get around the watch the rest, but it looks real promosing! :)

UniChild responds:

When Inuyasha jumps in the series it seriously looks like he's flying. Not something I made up. Thanks for the helpful review! ^^

[Down At Juice Bar]

Woo.

Well done, really nice work, but I like the army guys lol. But these are nice guys, but im confused.. are the 'Bad guys' the army guys, and these are a different series? I remember you saying something like 'Im going to stop numbering these things' but im confused. :-(

However, back to the movie, this is a real nice movie! I love the type of colours you come out with for the characters, i'm glad they are like not just default colours. Haha, and also are you starting to introduce the line tool? Great stuff. I'm glad your like going into new style.

I think you need to get back to the army guys, I think they are just.. amazing, and they are my favourite series from the portal that I have watched grow, the others are just there that I never saw. :-(

Anyway, the humour and the sound of the characters is still the same, which is real good. I love it! It's really funny.. but have you edited the voices or can you actually say it like that irl? Lol. Cool!

I have never really found any easter eggs in your movies, or little secrets.. i'm not that good at spotting them, however, I think you should include some, it makes it really cool; and if you do, note it in the author's comments so we know that we should look for them.

Really nice work here, I mean really nice, its not just another 'Hey yeah, its cool.. another one to the collection' but your standard is high and you just never sease to fail. Lol. :)

Thankyou Chris for making such a cool series. ^.^

ChrisNosal responds:

The "bad guys" are the grey ones that usually hang out in the background. The stars of this episode. It's the same series, I just decided numbers weren't needed since the episodes aren't really connected to each other. It's just kind of a fluid series, there's no set format.

Yeah I guess I did use more of the line tool. Some of the bar itself I had actually drawn for another animation that I gave up on, and it fit here. I'll use whatever tool works.

The only editing I do to the voices is to raise or lower the pitch. I do the accents myself.

I've never really done any easter eggs. I've thought about it. I'd like to do that in the future maybe.

Thanks a lot.

[24 Hour Collab]

Yeah.

Not the best of the collab, and it was most FBF random animation; which isn't my favorite style. It was a bad opening, it should of been mixed.

All the parts were really good since they were made in 24 hours, but don't think you'll get any extra marks for that. I will review and vote like any other normal collab.

The intro was a bit plain, just black and white but atleast it got straight into the action, even though it was FBF, and it should of been mixed, like stated above, because 2 fbfs parts together was a bit bad, even though I liked the comic strip idea, haha.

I wouldnt call stab's part FBF but it was cool, ultimate fantasty's was a bit stupid, but 'Z's part was real nice, a bit confusing but nice.

There was little to no humur, the part where the sun rose up and hit the other thing away; what was that? I didn't like that, but the rest were really nice. Mypuddle has a nice drawing to begin with, but it disapointed me with the jpg image, the lock part I would of thought to have the .flas of the locks used, but I didn't know what happened. There are alot of parts in this collab, and it was real long to what I expected but it was a nice touch.

Alot of great talent all in one collab, was nice, and it was sad to see the few who didn't get in. ;-)

ZombieLincoln responds:

Thank you for the detailed review!

I don't understand what you mean about the intro - it was actually a mix of FBF and tweened animation, with the lettering and everything.

Not getting extra points for finishing the work on such a short deadline? Fair enough - I don't mind an objective view.

Glad you found things to like in some of the works - I tried to keep a big variety in there, so while inconsistent, there would be some interesting parts for everyone.

Thanks for the advice and critique, sir =)

[Flathead Symphony]

Wow.

Wow wow! I have never seen something like this in.. in.. ages really. This is seriously amazing and I love it. Has to go on my favourites, and again, you never let me down. Your style, it's amazing, and I see your using the same characters for the Synj Game your working with with Gliael Gamer? I cannot wait for that either.

I knew the music was by dustball, you and him seem to work together beatifully, especailly in Dad n Me. And this is no exception to your work. Its just not one of those things like 'O yeah Dan made it.. I guess it's ok..' - no, this actually was amazing.

Did you get inspired from that Japanese drum Flash? Where they heads bang on drums and stuff, I remember that.. and it reminded me of that, but you did it in your style and did not directly copy (which I know you wouldn't.)

Great stuff though, real nice graphics, smooth animation, which is like all your animation. You are a inspiration.

[Software: The Browsers]

Haha.

Real nice 3D animation here, it's rare to see some really nice 3D animation, and did you make this, and the voice acting?

Never knew you could animate with 3d so well, this is really nice. You should make a whole series, not on browsers, just like a normal series in 3D. Ok; it may take a while but imagine..

This is really nice none the less, I know the quality had to be reduced a bit for the file-size, but its still good quality, suprisingly.

How long did this take to make you then TD? I want to get into 3D, but I know it's alot of work, and you need devotion. Alot. I'm glad you put this onto the portal, and it doesn't suprise me that it got Daily 4th place.

The humour in this was really subtle, and nice, the netscape had to be the best, with the lighthouse.. haha. I remember using it in primary school, and I agree it is really slow. The IE part was good too, I loved the backgrounds, and the way it talked was nice, it looks a tiny bit odd though when it moved up and down, but I can see how hard it would of been to animate, and the Firefox was really cool, nice and subtle. :)

I was expecting it to be a bit longer with the file-size, but seeing the quality of the images I then realised it would be a short. Short and sweet eh! :-)

orb responds:

Thanks for the long review, IWSC. I made the 3d, and I got Lucien Dodge (as stated in the credits and comments) to do the voice acting.

I am currently working on a 3D series with my current partner, BeaverElfEater, whom I taught some 3D. It'll be worth the long wait.

This took me two days (none of my 3D on here took more than two days except for the 5SOP, it was the first one to break that tradition :-P) but only because I've spent so much time making myself an expert with the program.

I'm glad you liked it!

[Biography: Master Chief]

Great.

I'm a really big fan of Halo, this was really funny. Lol. An such an awesome idea to do a biography! How did you think of it?

I love the style about the recording, it really did look like a real biography.

The bit of the deer made me laugh, haha.

Also the theme music, the Halo theme music with the guitar rocked! Graphics rocked, animation rocked, storyline rocked, sound and sound quality rocked; which is a rare thing. Haha.

It was great about the story of HOW the game started, awesome ideas, and really nice humour, and about the stories of the missions in Halo.. wow, awesome graphics, sound, animation and all.

I actually cannot tell you how amazing this is.. real nice work here guys. So glad it got Weekly award, but HOW long did this take you? Wow! ;-)

[Zombie Duck]

Nice.

You're the saviour! You are one of a number of people who have helped keep this entry in the Portal!

Haha, glad I kept this in. Nice job, and real nice style. Great into with the fire and stuff, I think you have awesome potentential. :D

[Tremen]

Wow.

Real nice work, I cannot believe you started this when you were 12/13, it puts us to shame, but it was too short I think.

Well I dont know, I was just watching it then it went back to the preloader. If it took you a year to do this, progress is slow for you, but speed up and you'll have some awesome Flashes on the way.

Real nice work too man, seriously. I <3 your style!
