JPI's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[B.Y.O.B. Collab]

This collaboration could of been so much better

This collaboration could of been so much better, but it was half-assed :(

The whole project took 7 months when it was meant to talke about 2-3. The organisation of this was shocking!
What had happened is that you didn't organise it will enough and people did the lines multiple times, making a lot of cuts nessesary. There was a lot of flash that i saw in the making that i saw didn't make the cut.
And things got put into the collab that were not meant to go in...
Things like cats here and there! And the preloader becoming a part of the flash, things like the introduction.
Can you honestly not think of a better way to animate text for the intro?
It really let the flash down.
Also, the ending was placed too fast, there was a flicker of text that no-one can read because it goes too fast...
However there are a few animator that i'd like to point out from the collab:
Dr Beast - He really needs to work on the mouth movement, it was a poor blob attempt :(, You should have preset mouths for different sounds, then transform them so they look different, but the key to mouthmovement is having it change on <b>every</b> frame.
Master-Fury, your work in this collab was great, those snippets were well animated and well shaded. However, not in this submission, but in ArmorDude, you should work no optimising your work, because not everyone has a 3Ghz+ computer!
Lynn_Scottish, your work rocks and i love you!
Anyways, the thing was quickly finished, and the menu was no exception. You didn't even have the decenty to email people for their information so you could have the authors section in the collab. Your just stealing a lot of glory, and not giving anything in return :(
I hope this review has been constructive.

Nice...

Not as good as the first two, but it is really nice. The sound made by you i enjoyed, but it was a little toned up. However the background art has improved in this a lot! Pretty funny, but the last one was better (Bad Guy's go to Hell). You've got yourself a nice site up now for your animations, it's looking nice. When is the next installment coming?

[Dr. Love]

Nice one

Great animation. Must of taken you ages...

Wanna be taught flash! After watching that?!? I don't think you really need it!

Buttons, eg. Replay buttons can be learnt best by going to the forums on this site, searching for "AS: Main" then going to the last page, and click the buttons tutorial. Also, on that part o the site, there are hundreds of the best actionscript tutorials.

And or a preloader, there is the official that can be found (with instructions) at www . newgrounds . com / flash / index.html

and better preloaders at planetbob . net / ng/ pl /

Hope this helps.

And i enjoyed the flash.

thank you very much for your comments, especailly those tutorial stuff, it makes me easier to explore them. greatly appreciated. good day to you!

[Bad Guys Go To Hell]

I like but...

It's not as good as your first one. The dialogue in this is pretty funny, but the animation could have been better, all i saw were heads talking, and poorly animated sven (that was hilarious btw).

Can't wait for your next instalment,

I think this series deserves a page on NG!

Ciao

ChrisNosal responds:

Yeah, I want to work in more animation in the future. But really, I'm not a great animator. I care more about the dialogue.

Thank you.

[Burnt Face Man 5]

Back with the boys again

Another firth submission, and it's not even on fat-pie yet?!? Wow, that must mean that he is being paid by newgrounds!
Great work, and a fantastic mention by my fav. villain. TAPS MAN!
HOLD!

[50 Llamas Day]

I watch this every day

It makes me laugh every time....
The especially like the audio, you've planned and done it well. Producing the song, and adding the whistles and the well timed car hoot. All finished off with the classic 80's tv show guitar chord.
The only comments i'd like to add is the mouth movement is a bit off when it does a close up and he shouts, it should be a more open mouth to get out all the voice.
Apart from that i loved it, and especially loved the eyeball poking out... heh.
Keep it up, hope there is a sequel of that comedy show for you.

[Nasty Dirty Lemons]

Hmmm

THe music is still plaing, change it to stream. And WHAT WAS THAT? i didn't really find it funny. Hmm, let's dance with lemons and shove it up our ass! Funny. No.
Try thinking of something original. Reminds me of fatpie.
But david firth's is better.

[Ambulance]

Well

The actualy graphics were impressive, but your animation of it could of been better, mainly on body parts, like arms, and neck.
The storyline was good, so that was a bonus. No point making a flash if it doesn't make sense!
Improvements: Add some sound effets over the music, it may ruin the mood so you will have ot keep them quiet!
Otherwise it deserved what it recieved. Well done!

[Captain Capitalism]

Oh boy

God **** that was funny!
One of the funniest flashes i have seen in a long while, really made my day. Every joke was funny to me! And even weighing in at 7 and a half meg, it was well worth it!

[Random Stick Jump]

Better

I watched your one before, and this is better, the graphics are great, but prehaps a backing track would be nice.
I've tested it and i reccomend linkin park's faint, then it should scratch off the track when "nail factory" unveils.
That would be better, otherwise, the sounds could be improved with a sign falling sound.
Otherwise, good short, and good stick animation (better than most).
