Darkaxl's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[2 years of animation]

Dude you know yourself it did'nt deserve thisscore

I guess that what having a fan base did for you, as its a selection of your animations i see no real need for it to be on newgrounds or for it to get such a high score... that said some of it was impressive and it's worth showing the Ng people what you can achieve.

i submitted it in belief of it scoring at like 2.4 or something. I've never said i deserved this. I dont have a "fan base".

Thanks still! Glad you liked it after all :)

[Saint - Chapter 2]

Reasons you didnt get full 10 for graphics.

I really hate the way this was made, the close up's were made with so much detail it was brilliant. Why when it wasn't a close up the characters became dis-proportioned i will never know. If you could of kept it 1 style it would of been nice. Also the use of motion tweening was blatent to see.

I have always loved the irish accent, as i have some in me myself, but its nice to hear a suttle irish accent running throughout the whole flash, it added uniqueness ^^. I hope to see your graphics stay the same without, No need to improve them just think abit not losing quality.

[XIN Session 18 (Finale)]

Line tool!

You may not be used to criticism, but i do have a few things to point out.

Why you draw everything with the line tool, i will never know. It gives the effect that a 5 year old had drawn the characters, which is only countered by the quality of the animation and voice overs.

Also your use of colour and shading wasn't used in the right places. I understand that to keep someone or somthing mysterious covering there eyes with shade is a good idea. But for that to be used to full effect long hair is usualy used, which by my view i didnt see. It just looked shoddy and made the art worker once again look lazy because the lack of eyes.

Also the mouth syncing was also horrible, but i think if you wouldn't of used lines it would have been improved alot more, It's nice that you have alot of followers that respect your work , and i'm one of them. Just think the way you went about designing the characters was horribly done.

[Animator vs. Animation]

Didn't deserve the score...

but it was a worthwhile watch...

goodjob.

[Anime Collab]

No offence.....

But astro's scene's were by far the best. The use of blur, gradients + perfect timing made it special. It was perfec the way he used colours changed when attacking to a red background.

Everyone's was good,especialy kenjii (not sure if right) the fluidity of the hair waving in the wind was almost proffesional all in all a really good flash + it's anime which helps ^^'

Didn't quite get my 10 on graphics.....

Main reason being the character design on the main person was horrible :\ it was choppy, ugly and 90% of the time hard to see what She/He was doing.

That said you still get my five and ten overall because the overall quality of the flash overshon most of the Ng Submissions, this is why NG was made...Good job.

[Feioras Story Part 2]

Why....

This got a 3+ score i'll never know. Most of the backgrounds are traced bitmaps, or horribly cut jpeg's. The animation is choppy at best the story was horrible, the character design was horrible.

Sometimes Newgrounds worries me.

If I didn't get at least one person to bash the hell out of my work It just wouldn't be newgrounds -_- Traced bmps you say? Well yes, I did trace them from the originals which were also drawn by me! (Mainly to keep the file size smaller) I tell you what! Take a good look around the internet. I garentee you won't find any duplications unless stolen because they were either 3d generated by me or drawn by me. Hell I don't even need to defend myself against someone that probably can't draw a stick figure. It's not newgrounds we should be worried about it's people like you. Still no worries ^^ At least I got a 3 from you rather than a 0 so your only half an @$$ Anyway you can bash my work anytime. I always get a good laugh from losers like yourself. LOL!

Camera work..top class.

Watching your animations more and more i've started to realise the camera work that goes into your animations. Without this in my personal view your animations would not be no where near as good.

It especialy worked well in a fast paced action flash like this, as dashing across the plains without valuable camera work it'd just be a front view then maybe a side view, but with constant switching between both the "yuyu" and "bitey" it made it that extra bit special.

When i first saw your flashes i thought myself, "Oh this is gonna be another Graphical expertees' but lacking in story...Now i disagree with myself (sounds weird). It was perfect it every way. Granted it was lacking in the story this time, but it dosen't bring it down from pure quality.

FINAL WORD: This should stay at #1 of all time for well over the next year. You'll have the odd flash that beats this in story. As i said the over all professionalism and quality will never be beaten.

Good luck with future projects.

[Shoo Fly]

Definatly a future animator in the works...

I have to admit, that was etremely polished and perfect. The movie in genral although "pointless" had a sense of profesionalism and that out weighed the randomness.

I hope to see some of your work in the future...even ranking up there with Sprited away and Akira...Good work.
