Blackmajiick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strawberry's Hour]

Outstanding!

I liked the low(ish) frame-rate in this movie. It gives it a lot of character. Although my computer may just be an asshole, so you can just ignore the last statement if it's not true.. There was no jerkiness in the movements, and the art style was superb. The plot was simple, but it really didn't need to be complicated. The music fit this animation like a glove.

My only complaint is that it wasn't actually an hour long.

Well done.

Merol responds:

The movie runs at 24 fps, if at the ending the dog doesn't seem to move his legs when walking away, then yes, your computer is an asshole (mine is too sometimes).

THANKS A LOT!

[show reel ---2011---]

Continuing the streak of 7's...

It's not a bad reel.
The animation was well done, and the art was ok (some parts were much more detailed than others). Of course, this is a demo reel, so I won't take points off for it being unfinished.

Thanks to the other reviews, I'm sure you're aware that the main problem with this is that it's out of context, but I think it's worth repeating. Also, using lip-synced animations without fitting audio doesn't really show much of your talent.

Overall, this was a good demo of what you can do with flash, but it would be nice to understand what's happening.

its meant to show my lip syncing talents as well as fluent animation. and thanks for the tips

[Animation: Blades]

It was pretty good!

I liked it. It was short, but it didn't need to be any longer. The animation was fluid and I like stick figures, so I won't take points off for that. The music choice was pretty nice too. I also liked the ability to watch the movie frame by frame.

The combos made sense and the swords weren't just being swung violently by someone with noodle arms. You have no idea how much that improves the flash for me. Seriously.

I have only one complaint, really. The background was nonsensical, distracting and almost disorienting to look at. That would be fine, but it takes up about 85% of the screen.

Overall, it was a good flash with good animation. Just fix that background.

I think it's funny that you didn't like the background, seeing as I spent a fair amount of time drawing it. I blurred it so that it would be deemphasized in comparison with the crystal-clear platforms and sticks. Thanks for the feedback though!
