Dragoo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Phones at Bedtime]

Given the title and the characters somewhat phallic appearance i had supposed this was going to be about masturbation. I don't know if that says more about me or Newgrounds :)
Anyway, great little animation. It's funny because it's true.

sadakab responds:

I laughed out loud at this, thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it!

[Terminator2 animated]

Beautiful but where's the content?

Very nicely illustrated and animated bit of work.
However a bit boring! There's no narrative!

And I don't really understand your decision to, more or less, remake a short sequence from a much larger feature film.
Why not make an entirely original piece?

I hate making sweeping statements about how or what a work of art should or shouldn't be, but having watching your animation it strikes me it's defiantly the issue of narrative/plot that needs to b worked on. Narrative should really be the hart of the film, from which everything else grow out of. And its this narrative that will make the film engaging.

At the end of the day beautiful visuals, sound effects etc are all there to support the telling of a story.

hope that's helpful
keep up the good work

DangerousBob responds:

You drive a hard bargain. Haha. I had originally planned for probably an additional two minutes onto this that would have really been nice to flesh out some kind of story arc. Like I said above this 10 MB limit is really becoming a big issue.

[Death's Curtain Ep.02]

love the little details

I particularly like the attention given to the incidental detail of the Pray Mantis, flash shorts r normally striped so close to the bone you just don't get those little details, but they really adds something to the texture of the film.

SickDeathFiend responds:

thanks for appreciating that. I love interesting scene transitions

[Everything has changed]

It's a nice idea

Having just this tranquil scene. Makes for a change from the normal all action packed submissions.
To be honest I don't think it works because the visuals just aren't arresting enough.
It could be a lush movie though, if u were to really really invest in the fine details, like the way u have the guys heir blowing in the wind.
So for example, maybe, Animate a very slightly change the sky colour,
Have the vegetation also moving in d wind,
Give the stars a bit of a twinkle
Perhaps ever have the camera view move a little
U get the idea.
Actually I feel quite inspired to have a go myself now!
Anyway hope that was constructive. Its good to see someone trying something a bit different.

Rhunyc responds:

Haha, thank you!

With the reviews I've gotten, I'm definitely going to do another, but with more details and some more animations. Nothing too action packed, but just enough to keep you through the entire song (and maybe replaying over? :D). :)

Well I'm glad I've inspired! Lemme know if you make one, I'd like to see.

[R-r-r-random]

It certainly was random

I liked it though . very well animated.
U really should give your movies thumbnail images when u submit them though. I'm sure I'm not alone in normally boycotting submission which don't have thumbnails, on the assumption that, if someone hasn't done one, it's because the content is so bad that it might put people off watching it.
Which obviously isn't the case here.
Anyway good stuff keep it up.

Slipziq responds:

I've tried to submit a preview image but just keep getting some error message about transparent.. something. Just couldn't be arsed with it now :/ I'll try to get it working next time! Thanks for your review :)

[The Dead End Collab]

Ah the simple pleasures

If nothing else, the mouse chaser was really entertaining :)

Timsplosion responds:

Did you watch the actual flash? :P Well nevermind.

[Another Bloody M23 Short]

Do everything completely different next time

Ok u want constructive criticism, here u go:
*Do everything completely different next time.

*Practice drawing so u can illustrate it better.

*Likewise practice animating so u can animate it better.

*DO NOT use that irritating synthesized voice, tat reeks of the "clock crew" and everything dreadful that they represents.

*If the movie has to be 10sec or less, then at least make it a funny one-liner.

*Finely do not use misleading thumbnails which suggest the movie might actually be better than it is.

moo23 responds:

You want a response, here u go:
*No.

*No.

*Maybe.

*No.

*They're supposed to be funny, but you aren't as insane as me.

*No

*Fynrelllie, the clock crew aren't Dreadful, you just only watch SBC.

Bottom line, you suck. Actually, you're a pretty good animator, so I shouldn't be saying that.

[Men's Wearhouse Volume 1]

Different

Different
Very nice hand drawings I like the style
