VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CHAMBER]

Whoa WhateverPlus1 sounds like JohnnyUtah O_o Pizza's a good VA too! The characters don't seem to have chins/jaws, but the pacing and scripting's pretty solid yo. Great first submission dude, hope to see more of you in the future. Really liked the action scenes, great moves!

NiddyGriddy responds:

Thanks! I'll definitely fix the problem with the chins and jaws!

[Harry Potter in Real Life?!]

Ron Weasley ran the Top Gear test track in an admirable time... decent animation, rather odd, but pointed story, well told!

Crunchlins responds:

Haha, thank you!

[Dreamt]

It's short, but so oh-so detailed and expressive! It's a moment in time.. in a dream state, probably only a few seconds. How may frames was this? Maybe an animator could advise you about frame-rate, tweening and stuff like that, but I think it's wonderful, and unexpected!

I hope you get some constructive feedback, but really, this was over and above what I thought you were capable of!

zephyo responds:

thanks!! frames hmm 700-1000 something like that?
lol we all have unlimited untapped potential u know

[Running Short]

That's a nice run cycle, but not really worthy of the Portal. I should rate it below 2 stars and vote... even lower, but as this is your first submission, well, I'm not that cruel, and quite respectful of ppl who can use Flash and use a mouse to good artistic effect.

Something like this can be uploaded to the Dumping Grounds, where you can test it out and/or post a link to it on your userpage, so others can take a gander. If you need any help, inspiration or advice, look around the different sections of the Forums/BBS.

ZairikAzrael responds:

It's alright if it doesn't make it, I'm just happy to have feedback. I make so many creative projects no one would appreciate or know how to criticize honestly and constructively. I was on NG for a time back when even YouTube was a new thing, and Macromedia owned Flash. Thanks for the feedback.

[ClockDay Cookin'!]

That's nice Pyrex measuring cup, is it old?

joliet-jane responds:

I don't know. Maybe it's ten years or so?

[Clock Day 2015]

Wow, you keep an immaculate bathroom! Really liked zooming on in the deets (Flash is kinda like the internet's 8-Track player, old but robust) Certainly wasn't expecting this popping up in my feed O_o Very lovely work, as always. Never let it be said, that 'nae ever used lame fonts :3

ReNaeNae responds:

Yeah, I tend to add too much detail to the small things ...but I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'm also a long-time font hoarder! It's a sickness! ;)

Thanks for the review!!
Hope you had a Happy Clock Day! :D

[Julie Jehovah Johnson]

Very simple, but colorful, clear sounding (your voice sounded best) and captivating enough to watch till the end... whoa, where did that 1 1/2 minutes of black after the credits come from? Weird, but I didn't let it impact your score... hard drive space is so cheap these days anyway ;)

jenninexus responds:

Oh thanks for mentioning it! I used Swivel to convert the .swf file & chose the manual start/stop record option.. I'll see if I can update the file without losing quality by rendering it again (trimmed). Glad the audio retained it's clear quality - thanks for watching / commenting!

[Bill and Hulk vs. The Clock Crew]

Outstanding performances by all, the edn really bought a tear to my eye!

AnkhClock responds:

Personally I can't wait until the Rebuild of Clock Crew retelling of the original Clock Crew.

[OTB - New Carissa]

That was fascinating, it looked so legit, I kept thinking it might've been a tall tale (I usually spy the Author Comments afterwards). Voice over was solid, sounded like it might've been made for the Navy.

RadioTubeClock responds:

Thanks! I remember first hearing about this ship on the news back when I was in middle school on the news program the school did.

[FrogMan and Pico]

The car, tank chase scenes, and end credits ran a bit long, but everything else was grand, honest, and funny. I admire the dedication to see an overly long project through to the end! I'm glad you hooked up with some good people to make sure it got finished.

This animation is aces with me, instant and forever favorite!

artistunknown responds:

Thanks! Yeah, those bits did kinda go a bit long. That montage wasn't meant to be as long as it was but I really liked the song so I wanted to use all of it. I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out more stuff to add to the car bit to make it feel like it didn't go on to long, but I couldn't think of anything else. I didn't think the tank bit went on too long, but I guess it did if you thought so. It originally went on for longer but my timing is always really bad. I'll try to improve on that! And yeah, the credits. I thought it was fine that they went on so long since the rest of the animation was nearly 13 minutes, but eh, I guess not.

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it so much ;3
