Deaththe14th's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fome!]

baahahaha

Oh, the irony, that only in death does the source of survival come.
Knocked it up to 4.04 (file not found!!?) for you.

The animation was nice, and the music was well put in.
And the joke was great.

5/5 10/10.

peixeaquatico responds:

hey!

thanks man

[The way of my madness 2p]

That was really good.

Although I much preferred the second part. I wasn't much for the first part's music, mostly the drumming was inverted with the guitar or something along those lines, making it sound like the band wasn't in sync or something.

I loved the ending though, and Hank's transformation into the mummy-like creature and his hand-to-hand attacks were pretty great.

I think this flash deserves at least a 4.00 rating, because, well, this flash is crunk. Fo' shizzle.

Hulalaoo responds:

thx !, in the part 3, i wanna work in all aspect

[Earthbound]

Well, John

It looks like you had your head handed to you.
So, how about giving it another shot?

> Yes No

On another note - dang, you beat me to it.

NessSuccess responds:

Lol that is actually how I was going to end the flash had I finished it.

[JB01 - Sex0r]

I wonder

if this will make turd of the week...
but hey, you had some kind of... stuff... there. And it's not like you're going around giving people siezures without warning, so hey, here's one star.

Heil responds:

So yeah, another informative piece.

I don't think it's a spam... oh, and there's an easter egg, but if you've got epilepsy, I wouldn't go looking for it.

It's a totally crazy easter egg that you will totally never find.

--This was just a voice clip originally. Then I decided to actually animate it. Kinda.
--The movie is technically over once you've hit the white screen
--The Easter Egg is an example of what I would consider blammable.
--Once you have entered it, you can not escape (without right clicking)

[nia the vamp ad]

ok.

here's whatchu gotta do. You gotta get some sort of audio editing software (I use audacity - google it. It's free and you can get heaps of good plugins for it, probably most notably the LAME mp3 decoder/encoder)

from here, you need to edit the mp3 file (or whatever file type you're using for audio) and dear god, you have to cut it down to the time that you're using it for. This is what potatoscrub was saying before, and I actually find it helpful.

Apart from that issue (making the file size ridiculous for the actual time spent watching) it was alright. You should work on making the animation generally smoother and such.

I'll give you a 7 for your efforts - you had some nice artwork, particularly the still of the werewolf.

reaper1987 responds:

thnx for the advice

[Tomm-E]

Haha...

Reminded me of the spammers... and I liked how his first flash, he was all reverant of it. Ooooo, aaaaaahhh...

Good work, as you likely know.

MarcyVF responds:

Haha! Thank you.

[Zone of the Awesome]

hmmm...

It reminded me of Neon Genesis... now I have to go drink some bleach to forget about that series (or rather, the end of that series)

Your work, however, was good. A pretty funny parody of, well, for me, how general animes or mangas go about getting kids to fly giant mechs.

Never played the game you're actually parodying, though, so I can't comment on how that works =(

Galneda responds:

It wasn't until last year that I finally saw all of Evangelion...man that ending was a let-down...but I couldn't help but notice the parallels between Shinji (a reluctant child hero piloting a Giant Robot to save a city and the world) and Leo (a reluctant child hero piloting a Giant Robot to save a space colony and....the worlds...)

So I had the intention of throwing in little NERV references around, but I think the only one that survived after the cut (it was originally going to be twice as long as this) is if you look really closely during the scene where Leo first discovers Jehuty (right after the explosion + Hangar 18 sign) there's a NERV logo watermark in-between the two beams on the wall (next to the giant, hanging blue cord)

I'd think if you dig mech's, you'll have a newfound respect for Orbital Frames and Jehuty when you play ZOE 2nd Runner...very fun, very challenging, cinematic game. It's worth a shot, y'know?

Anyway! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the review!

[Stick man massacre]

hmmm...

first thing when submitting a stick flash - make sure it's great.
I mean, people see sticks and they go "oh. Sticks."
From here on out, you're in for a tough ride with the audience.

I suppose the following tips may help:
-this one works in general - make sure your background is on a background layer, and, if you're using sticks, you might just want to make a simple, but nice looking background. This whole paint-brush tool thing you're doing... well, it doesn't work for ME at any rate. I would prefer lines with a few light gradients towards the edges for highlights, anyday.
-make sure the animation is fluent, or at least well done. People don't mind less frames if the actual drawing or stances make sense. This is especially important for stick animations, as people will be thinking "come on, you could have drawn more frames for that, jeez, they were JUST stick figures!"

This is one that I would highly recommend in the case of using many characters on one screen.
-make your world a living, breathing thing. Don't have static characters that do nothing, and I mean NOTHING, until the stick character comes and attacks them. Have them smoking a cigarette, or just talking lightly with another stick figure (miming, of course... you don't want to take the attention away from the main stick character)

It makes the animation as a whole look a lot more interesting.

For a first animation, as a test of your current abilities, I can say "well, you've got basic animation down."

Do you know how to tween? Or Motion tween? Or how to use movieclips or graphic symbols? If not, I'd suggest looking up on them (well, when you're ready to move on from stick figures, anyway)

Good luck with that.

I'll give this a 5/10, 2/5... passable (compared to many other things on this site...) but not very great. I do, however, look forward to seeing what you might do in the future.

woohooyeee responds:

thanks, i understand the low score, its fine with me, im still trying to smooth things out with the sequel, im kinda busy though, but ill work on it soon

[Captain Steve Dies]

perhaps...

this will be an even greater inspiration...
We must see this epic battle brought to life!

FOR STEVE!

Sidorio responds:

FOR FREEDOM!

[Captain Steve's Adventure]

oooooooh...

I feel some more of that inspiration coming on!
Or am I aroused?
Only time will tell...

Sidorio responds:

You have a raging boner.
