MiloticMaster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deliverance ep. 2]

Nice!

It seems you managed to make all the improvements without me having to tell you about it. The Ace Attorney part made me laugh, nice job. More interesting characters, better animation, an even more interesting plot (which I didn't even think was possible).
I still suggesting blur, and maybe setting your music from event to stream should fix the syncing problems...
I'll say you're pretty good from here on. Can't wait for your next work!

PParreira responds:

thank you very much, but still, the next one doesn't have any blur effects, sorry =(

[Deliverance ep. 1]

Pretty sweet work

I can already tell that this has great potential. You do need to work on your art though, and perhaps you can rake up a couple of voice actors on NG, but don't listen to me, I don't have enough experience about this anyway.
Art: You need to use the blur more. Your backgrounds look very flat, just look up the tutorial section and it should explain. Your characters are fine, but you need to use the filters a bit more. The anime-like expressions are great, and voice sync is pretty cool too.
Sound: Sounds are pretty great by themselves. The voicing is very good, although by sound alone its pretty hard to tell the two guys apart. The random clips work well, just add a little background music and you should be fine.
Story: Pretty self-explanatory. Great characters, great storyline. The subs are... mostly incorrect.

PParreira responds:

thanks a lot for the review, very well put
there are still a lot of aspects that I gotta work on, and a lot of effects that I still don't know how to use.

I allready posted episode 2, hope ya like it
=)

Um...

Two places for improvement...
1. Preloader
2. Um.. what point are you trying to get across here? Aliens like weed and blasters? GREAT drawing btw, but you either overdid it in graphics or sound because the file size is too large... but great work. Just looking for a more in depth story next time.

Nyang responds:

thanks for the comment I will consider...

[Little Big Apocalypse 2]

Wow...

This movie is so data comprehensive that I'm forced to watch it in low quality, unfortunately for me so I can't accurately review the graphics, but I like what I see, the fog effects and the city look awesome, Sackboy's cloth skin texture, plus the scene inside Sackboy's mind. However, the graphics is most likely why the movie is so slow, so could I ask; if you can find a way to tone it down a bit, please do!
Sounds are great, I have no idea where you found such a long wind sound clip or if you played the same one over and over again, but I didn't notice so thats okay.
Storywise, I was too caught up on the graphics. It seems like with such a huge file size, the story still didn't the major plot development that I expected. True, you did introduce a new enemy, and called Sackboy special, but nothing major really happened. Sorry, that's why I had to stick with a 9.
Anyway, Kudos to you, good luck with your story/series. I looked at the manga too, its pretty cool, and the black and white fits the atmosphere perfectly!

JMartin97 responds:

Thanks for checking it all out (manga/animation), I know that it's pretty graphically intensive, I took your advice and I made the window a bit smaller, it runs much better now :)

thanks!

[WWWMR]

Wow!

The drawing style is AWESOME! The ending seemed a bit rushed though, so the animation didn't really come to a point. I also really liked the 3D in the beginning, and your voice acting was pretty cool too.

jagondudo responds:

thanks! yea i had a longer story but i couldn't keep up animating like that with the time require :(

[Prettiest Girl at School]

Okay...

Terrible animation, um... reasonable song... I guess. You should really get someone better to animate this so that you can bring this song to life. Plus, you should really Flash to reduce the file size and for better graphics. It's... just a really poor attempt at a good idea.

Boomation responds:

I'm glad to hear people's opinions. Even if they think my ideas are bad. I actually don't have flash, I just used a free .MPEG to .SWF program to convert the original video to Flash. My hand drawn animation was pretty bad. I made this last summer and it was really only about 25 pictures/ frames used in this video. Although it took me FOREVER to make it. I'm such a lazy asshole. I know the basics of how to make flash but I don't have the means to purchase a flash program. As for the automatic replay, i'll make sure that in my other videos, i'll have some sort of main menu using Adobe Premiere Elements.

[Pico's Penny Prank]

Lol!

It was nice but I would have liked to see other people try and get the penny. Liked the exaggerated movements; gave it a looney tunes feel.

ToonCastleTV responds:

Hahah that's the style i was aiming for. Unfortunately I didnt have time and getting done as much as i displayed here was a miracle itself lol.but imglad u liked what i did a bit^_^

[What if Pico...]

Oh that was pretty cool.

Confusing though. You've got to work on your presentation and drawing skills. I did like how the story actually made sense and you went just putting random events together.

jucama responds:

Will do, thank you for the review :)

[FemPHLiM Fukkireta]

Bah,,, (I can't believe I'm giving this a 5/7)

It was so freaking repetitive... but for an animation testing lip-syncing, it was okay. The flash was pretty well made. I have to admit, before the song started you were about 1.3 seconds away from a 1 (1.3 secs is the average time for a human to press a button, btw), but the presentation was good, the animation was good (for a kawaii girl thingy), and plus you put a bit of actionscript to show the mouth used in frames. I'm guessing you put the mouth movie-clip inside the movie-clip for the face so that it would stay in the same position, then used actionscript to call out the different mouths? I don't know, I'm new to actionscript anyway. Good job in all, sorry I wrote so much, I have a tendency to babble on... (kinda like this...) anyway, Kudos.

phlim2 responds:

I agree that it was repetitive. I may add little bits in once it's complete. Sorry about that, lol...

Thanks. It's a shame that 1.3 seconds is the average time for someone to press "Blam this piece of crap!", but what can you do? Once it's pressed, it's pressed.

You were pretty close with the guess. What I did was create a single movie clip with 6 shoulder shuffles, each with different mouths. Then I used the actionscript to read frames 1-20 (move) within that movie clip using one variable, then used face# x 20 (mouth) + (move) for the lipsync.

(0*20) + (1->20) = None (1-20)
(1*20) + (1->20) = TeethGrin (21-40)
...and so on :D

[Shinobi Noir- Prologue]

Pretty awesome!

It loops though. I have to agree with everything that everyone else has already said... The voice sync was bad, (like when she chops off his hand he screams, but his mouth isn't open). The voices are good, but there's no background music... its rather odd and too silent, so the people just talk and it doesn't sound normal.
The backgrounds were pretty cool, the drawings too, until ... but sometimes the motions (in drawings) just don't look life like, there are too many examples, but like when she draws the sword for the first time, you can see that the hand is odd at the bottom, or when the 1st man falls down, but the motion looks good, like when the man is shaking to draw his sword and such.
Anyway, good job. The story was good, and not badly presented. I liked the way you explained everything at the end. Good job.

Kel-chan responds:

thanks - i'm still not very good at animation- i've only started animating in december of 2010 so i'm trying to figure out how things work
