InfrangibleTangerine's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captain Planet Strip Club]

Awesome again

It's funny, intellectual, has a message what more could you want. I'm not sure everyone got the Australia related jokes but hey, it was made for QandA. I really wish I saw this one on TV =( Ah well, life goes on. Excellent work my greasy friend.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks! yeh the 5% is a little obscure, even for some australians

[Christmas Truths]

Very nice!

It had a good storyline and was relatively funny but I could tell that the animation was rushed this time, no offence. Also I see that your flash like mine was barely noticed by newgrounds. I only got 2 reviews on JvB and one of them I asked for. lol

You have once again managed to turn a few days work into another utterly entertaining masterpiece so I give you my congradulations. Well done!

El-Sammo responds:

Thanks for the review man.

Yeah it sucks when you just get looked over. I didn't even get put in the Christmas or winter collection. I did like 60% of this between 11pm christmas eve until 7am christmas day, so yeah the animation was a bit rushed.

["Subway"]

Nice!

G'day

Ok, First of all let me say goodwork. You have certainly come a long way since "Get Back" (Although I liked "get back" the song better). You have got the character design almost perfect, the shapes of the faces look good and you used some effective angles. But, I would suggest that in the future you attempt some shading, honestly it adds so much to animations especially if you can use the shadows to emphasise expression. Also you're animation is a bit choppy but don't worry about that, it will become smoother in time.

When all the people get off the subway and they move past the main character, they just look like two blobs moving past him. This would be easily solved if you made the "blobs" animated slightly. Just 3 or 4 frames would do, slowly changing and perhaps have one person trailing behind the pack slightly. Finally near the start of the show when the chick approaches him, you swap to a silouette view and you used gradients. Well obviously I can't tell you how to animate you're stuff but I strongly suggest that you don't use gradients in the future to do this kind of thing. In my humble opinion it makes the flash look messy and would improve tremendously if you just used plain black with a blur. If you want an example of really good quality silouettes in flash, I suggest you check out either the opening scenes of the composer or valhalla knights.

Well, I hape that's been helpful. Sorry If I was too harsh, like I say it was really good.

Kaishu responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm working on shading, but with this cartoon I was pressed for time. I had to finish it and I was not sure if I was going to. With the gradients I'll keep your advice in mind, but my friends and family seeing it wanted more color, but at the same time I wanted to keep the somber tone of the story. I had plain backgrounds behind the band and decided to mess around with the gradients to see what I could get.
