Slick-Productions's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animation Challenge Wk1-3]

What he said xD

I vote just as Xecusion (below) voted. If by chance he's knocked off the screen after so many reviews....
Week 1 - Burning Bunnies
Weeks 2 and 3 - both Chilly Philly

Rudy responds:

Hahaha.

[-Simply Animation ll-]

It's Rudy! Good to see ya again!

>> On a side note, you gotta make another collab! PM Me next time you do!
>> Another side note, get SSBB! It's GREAT!
Okay, back to the movie, I liked it I guess, but like the person below me said, it was just a compilation of clips and such.... I guess they were good for the most part though, so it's okay :P
Btw, one thing that threw me off JUST a little, nothing bout the movie itself, just animation tip, was the single symbol/group arms. I personally think that they look a little blocky, and maybe two symbols would be better.
I voted five anyways :3
KEEP IT UP!

Rudy responds:

Ahh thank you. Most of these things are just very old when I never had my tablet so there just more of which I never completed. But thank you. And I'm getting SSBB tomorrow so we can exchange codes than :D

[Voice acting test]

Not the place

Newgrounds isn't really the place to submit "almost any random thing I do." If you want to upload something without much appeal for others, I suggest using a site where they automatically upload all your stuff, like deviant art or sheezy art... though maybe you may as well use a site like swfupload.com...
also, the voices were quiet, and not that good in my opinion.
There's a voice acting forum somewhere, maybe you could use that?

Cladicus-Claveman responds:

eh, maybe so. but i just want all my progress to be documented on newgrounds, u kno? so maybe 1 day if i get really good, pplz can see where i started out and maybe try from where i began

[ComiX Title Sequence!]

Nice Idea!

I like the "Different Drawing Style" idea, it sounds interesting. I was gonna do something like it, but for a collab xD
Anyways, the only thing I didn't like was the part where Duncan raises his hand, I noticed that not only did it look like it was somehow behind the sleeve, but that his hand seemed like the palm wasn't facing you... whatever just change the sleeve thing and make the hands a bit different and that'd be awesome :D

DAGamesOfficial responds:

lol glad ya like the style and idea. his name is Ian (if ur talking about the black haired guy) not duncan. and I thought the hands were fine :S

[Madness: Point Victim]

... uh...

>= Warning! Long and extensive review! <=
Was this actually 12 fps? Try at least 18... hopefully 20
First I'd like to say, there are definently some graphics that could have been fixed quite easily. For instance, if you're going to use lines for bullets, they should not be short lines moving forward, they should be long lines that extend from the gun's barrel to the point where they hit. Then the next frame should be a dashed line, and then they're gone.
I suggest making it faster paced with smoother animation. Also the "fast moving effect" with the paint brush scribbles was not only that fast, but didn't really look that good. The first time I saw it I thought he was being engulfed in something, but then I figured it out...
You also kinda need work with the music/sound better. Like when the slow music starts, you should have first given a pause in music with just slow mo sound effects or something, then kinda fade in the music.

bomberbob12 responds:

nope... 24 fps ...

but... yeah. ur rite.

[The world's fattest kid]

Well...

AHH! Detailed and extensive review alert! If you read this in more than one sitting, congrats.
I dunno... It just seemed like you could have put more work into it. Call me old fashioned, but I like flashes when they've been worked with so much you can actually see some of the artist's blood/sweat/tears on the loading screen (How can you be "old fashioned" when it comes to flash, a new and advanced program? I dunno either). Okay that's really not necessary (obviously >_>) but maybe more work on this flash couldn't be so tough?
On to the actual movie (considering you have gone through and remade some/ if not, all the graphics by now), I suggest you try to stray away from play buttons for text. Also don't try to use almost arbitrary looping music that doesn't seem to change with the tone of the movie. Also also if you haven't remade the graphics by now, I suggest you either thicken lines or don't use them at all. Use the paint brush instead. Finally.... The story could have been more directed at the fattest kid in the world, not "the biggest loser" (Pun DEFINENTLY intended). Perhaps you could have used over exaggeration by making the kid nearly the size of the universe itself, with non-spoken fat jokes (but instead occurences, like cars literally running out of gas trying to drive around him)...
Like I said before, put a bit more work into it. Put some pizzaz, give it chutzpah, make it roxors your boxors! Etc. etc. etc. etc........

Formalglory responds:

i mainly made this flash do to the frustraition of a certian person. the term "the worlds fattest kid" doesnt really direct to fat at all. i mean sure i could've called it the worlds biggest loser but fattest just sang to me. if i did make the worlds fattest kid video id show a fat person gagging on his own spit with food smuthered all over the walls and his parents starving to death do to no scraps or leftovers from the food he eats. i mainly made this for the humor not for the fatness, remember that.

[SBC's Cookie Clockmas!]

Hooray! Rupee's done it again!

I think that your animations are frankly some of the best clock animations out there. Anyways... My favorite gag must have been the slice sound effects with the ingredients, but I also liked the kinda hard to catch grandmother strawberryclock. Keep it up!

RupeeClock responds:

Haha, thanks.

[THE PORTAL...]

An ironic message?

WARNING: For animation critisism, skip this line.
"Don't upload crap to the portal." Well, this definently isn't by far the crappiest it gets, but I'm sure that this couldn't have taken more than a few days or so to animate, if so. I mean, I usually only make movies for newgrounds if they're at least 2 minutes long, and usually take at the VERY least 3 weeks, minus the one time I made a movie in 4 days (Without doing much else besides going to school, sleeping, etc.... <_<) and that one I don't consider very good...

Okay, now things that relate specifically to the animation: You could make a few things smoother, perhaps add a few frames or so to the walking animation of the swf. Also, when the text appears at the end, I'd suggest to make it stop moving. It's readable, sure, but it's annoying and kinda lazy in my opinion. Another thing you can do is make something enter really fast, then move hardly at all, then exit quickly. Kinda like in movie trailers sometimes?

jaco208 responds:

Yeah I rushed on this...
I can never seem to finish anything, so i rushed a bit.

[The Halloween Party]

Besides the sound problems, great! :D

Sometimes the people were too quiet, or too loud like when the nerd says SHUT UP! really loud. But other than that really good!
If only u had multiple people doing the monster mash, instead of only one but still funny :)

Rudy responds:

ah, thank you.

[Fruit Hurts]

Nice!

It was pretty good I must say! However, my only complaint is that the fruit could have fallen faster, he was to dramatic for fruit falling that slowly ;)
Like the animation, still, it's very well done and very smooth!

owenshire responds:

Yeah my biggest gripe about the animation is that damn watermelon. Oh well too late now. Thanks!
