Interesting.

I'll start by saying that the poetic part was interesting, nice to see some variation from all the pointless stick violence. Even if the actual animation itself is basically the opposite (Or, so it seems) from the message. The music was okay, it was too soft for such a rough and hard stick fight. I'd prefer that you'd use sound effects, it really touches everything up, and makes the animation more interesting. Also, lower the music, if such effects are used. The poetic part and the violent stick fight dont seem to add up, so make sure you keep at one side at a time. I can understand that the animation says "You gotta fight" but it doesnt make any sense, considering that its just 2 sticks fighting.

Anmation: 7/10
- I prefer more realistic, and more jumpy style. This looked too smooth, almost as if they "knew" what do do, it looked too soft and light. Violence needs to be harsh, cruel, shaky and jumpy, BUT realistic. So work on that.
Effects were nice, i suppose.

Art: 8/10
- It was okay, nothing particular,

Sound: 5/10
- Like i said, add sound effects, and use violent music
OR dont add sound effects, keep the animation to the subject, (poetic part) and use fitting music (which you did, but the animation doesnt fit)

Hope that will do! You have potential, style and a very characteristic view on life! With these kind of thoughts, you will reach far! Unfortunately, reality doesnt really speak in such ways, and is cruel and unfair. But i suppose hope will do.

Good luck.

KenseiT responds:

Thanks for the comment and crit I'll try to apply what you said to my next animation.In my eyes the fight is symbolic and is definitely not opposite sorry you couldn't see that .

Very nice

Wow, awesome animation, original story and excellent voiceacting!

Good parts:
Animation 10/10 - I seriously loved the scene where the guy walks through the hall and the light passing his face, i would REALLY want you to teach me how to do that, because that is top quality animation!

Story 10/10 - Very funny and original, nothing i've heard or seen before! xD
You should DEFINATELY continue this and make a series!

Sounds/Conent: Very nice, cartoonish and what not!

Overall: Good job!

curtiSmith responds:

Thanks heaps, I'm glad you liked it. I'd like to see it become a series too :D

This is spam?

This is spam, i am sorry.

The idea of a clock version of the song would be awesome,
But ... this is just rather dull and still. Sure, the song is nice but not the animation nor the point of the movie.

Sorry, you're not getting higer then this.

WinchesterLock responds:

propaganda :)

Awesome idea! xD

I loved it! Awesome! Just hilarious! xD

Although, you should add a replay button!

Nice job on the guns but the part where the zooming took place was laggy:
to fix that, make the background into a picture, then tween. it wont be as nice
but it wont lag. Nice job on the rocketlauncher as well!

All in all, nice!

Hyun responds:

When you make something like this, you can come back and review here, k? :)

And when I say 'make something like this' I mean not decompiling the swf and tracing scenes from the anim like you do on your other animations.

Actually... nevermind. Never review any of my animations again.

Amazing!

Its incredible how artistic this movie is! It not only shows Nature in its best way but also the circle of life! I am amazed. Wow, i could never have been able to gather something like this up into such a loop! Well done, sir!

But, the animation COULD be a little better.
As could the details! But, all in all, this was just awesome!
Fun and really simple!

9/10

Keep these coming!

Veinom responds:

Thank you. I dont know how the animation could be improved. It has more animation than most movies here and everything is constanlty changing for about 3 minutes. Even the backgrounds were animated so they couldnt have a lot of detail for most part. And I think that if some backgrounds had more detail than others they wouldnt fit much.

Ehh

Hmm.. what can i say?
First, i really like the backgrounds.
The buildings, the bar, the village and the airplane was nicely DRAWN.
However, the COLOURING itself looked extremly unprofessional.
The characters barely moved, which shows that this was not even animated...
It was small, odd moves - not really worthy to be called "animation" .
You cant get away with nice voices, it doesnt work.

Eitherway i can give you more, because i judge Animation, Art, Backgrounds, Story, Sounds - But specially ANIMATION.

Story was .... kind of ridiciolus.
And the shooting sounds were patethic - Could you not have gotten anything better? This animation lacks on many places.

Improve on these points, and you will recieve higher reviews.

Thank you!

Neo-Egyptian responds:

I generally respond to criticism in a positive way and appreciate how most of the more critical reviews I've had for Steve 3 have been constructive and polite in tone. However, yours has managed to genuinely irritate me, so allow me to retort:

Your most recent cartoon is a visual abomination, done almost entirely in monochrome and being around 90% tweened, the other 10% comprising embarrassingly basic frame-by-frame. While you speak of my 'extremely unprofessional' colouring, you've barely used any yourself, despite the fact vibrant colour in certain scenes would have made an excellent contrast between the woman's past and her present. Yes, criticising your work purely because you've criticised mine is a cheap shot, but you come across like you're a master of animation when you can't even apply your criticisms to your own work.

Aside from this, I really cannot stand 'high and mighty' reviews, especially where you've said things like my cartoon is not worthy to be called animation, and that I should 'improve on these points, and you will receive higher reviews'. Oh thank you, master of the visual arts and Newgrounds extraordinaire! Before I had your excellent advice to guide me, I didn't realise that people responded well to improved animation!

Look, I appreciate that this cartoon is not perfect - I did in fact make a lengthy post on my website regarding my own criticisms of the episode, and have since been spending a lot of time reading Richard Williams' guides to animating and trying to learn loads of new techniques for future cartoons. However, there are ways to be critical that mean you don't come across like a hypocritical asshole - you use several throw-away insults when describing my animation and voice acting, essentially saying I can't do it and it doesn't work. Thanks, that's very constructive, and not remotely judgemental given the quality of your own work!

Improve on these points, and you will receive a positive response from me.

Thank you!

Bored.

tbh, it was boring.
The animation was okay, and the music was so boring.
And the movie also.
I just wanted more tention, it almost seemed like i was in the 14th century,
with all the princess-save-me-knight-guy-thing.

MORE ACTION/FUN

Hildebrandt responds:

You know what's fun? Standing on a hill during a thunderstorm with an huge iron pole in you hand. Try it out. /oh, by the way, You should take alook at you own movies concerning lack of action... there is an old german saying- he who sits in the house of glass should shit in the basement.

Ehh...

I am sorry, but its not good enough.
heres some issues:

- The character quality is bad.
Needs more work, shadows, light, its just to simple,

- Shooting sounds killed my ears, and the quality wasnt the best.
Song was nice though.

- Animation was choppy, somewhat okay.
The mix of tweens and fbf made it wierd.
Stick to one style.

- You've GOT to work on your english .__.

A message to our fellow NG members:

When you are going to review a movie,
dont put a stupid and immature answer like;

'' OH RLY COOL, I LIKE IT 10/10
MAKE MOAR PLZ ''

Explain why you liked it, and dont just put a frikkin stample as fast as you see something cool.

This is the reason why crappy and horrible animations are on the toplists,
when the carefully and good animated movies arent going anywhere.
Because of the major, immature 5-year olds on NG.

And give the author criticism, and what you liked about it.
End, and there you have yourself a good review.

I fucking hate this, and its a big issue.

-------------------------------------
------------------

I dont care if this review is marked as bad,

This, is one hell of a good review.
Now deal with it.

And please, try to tell others this message.

Hulalaoo responds:

hahaha , you submitions are very bad, xD, poor boy

LAG!

Look, um, i dont know, but i had low quality and yet it lagged pretty hard.
There was either yet to much filters or i dont know.
The drawings werent really good tbh, they could ev used more '' touching '' .
Animation, well, tweens (of course, but FBF works better on Madness) it looked kind of yet too '' beginner '' stage. How long have you been working with Flash?

The plot of the story, well, it was kind of confusing, because it didnt sync,
like, on one moment its there, and the next over there.
And i couldnt see anything cause it LAGGED so hard...

Improve following:
- Do not use objects with HEAVY FILTERING and DO NOT TWEEN a filtered object.
- Draw everything, light effects, shadows, details, particless, etc.
- Do not use too much tweens. Too much = LAG.

I cant give you a 10 because it does need improvement, and the movie lagged very much, which really is a shame.
So i'll give you a 6, and then, Try again.

I wish you good luck on future projects,
And heres some tip you can use:

1) Make up a good story, if Madness, use the old school; guy - kill guard - kill many - kill clown - end. Okay? Or make up your own.
2) Be aware of how you export the file, rewatch and redo it.
Too much lag = Bad. Filters = lag = bad. Result: Bad movie.
3) FBF (when its Madness) Concentrate on your animation.
Its the head point of Flash. Dont Tween. FBF (In my opinion)

Hulalaoo responds:

LAG ? I HAVE 0 LAG, BUT IN THE NEXT PART A WORK IN THE LOW FILTER, FOR MORE ANIMATION QUALITY, YES, THIS ANIMATION IS HEAVY, SORRY FOR YOU COMPUTER, YOU COMMENT IS A PUNCH IN MY BALLs

Oh, vad bra! Jag älskade det! Nice!

Asså, fan vad nice det där var! Jag råkar vara svensk NG member! xD
Det visade mycket känslor och animationen var rätt okej, och det var mest tweens.
Mycket bra. Jag är själv en animerare. Adda mig på msn, gå till min NG sida ^^,

[This was in swedish movie, so here's an translation to my review]

Pretty nice! I loved it! I happend to by a swedish NG member!
The movie showed alot of feelings and the animation was okay, since it was mostly tweens.
Anyway good job! And good luck! 9/10!
