danlivas's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Revolution]

Really great work

That was great work.. The choice of color was great, the characters were really eye-catching, I liked the unique style of "no-pupiled" characters... and there were a few parts where I thought your animation showed great potential. I didn't like how the music didn't sync up to the music. The music ended like 40 seconds before the animation ended. You should put the music to sync next time. Your artwork was great, looks like all you need is to solidify your animation skills and you will be SUPERB. Practice more flash! You're right on!

[My GOD, Robots! episode 2]

Spectacular animation.

It is clear you're walking in a professional direction. But honestly, next time, GET THE SOUND RIGHT. GET IT RIGHT. NO EXCUSE. A spectacular animation like this, is comparable to a clock with no minute hand. It does the job, but it's hardly worth it. So next time you submit something, you better GET IT RIGHT. I can't believe this has original music, something awesome that hardly anybody does, and not have consistent sound. AMPLIFY your GENIUS, don't LIMIT it.

[Dust Bin America]

Thank you

Thank you for commiting yourself to telling the world such an important message. Living on Earth is a responsibility. It is truely sad to see that the Bush administration fails to see how disatrous their decisions are for the planet. We as humans need to be more conscious of the damage we inflict on our own planet. This flash definitely helps. Thank you so much for the time and research you put into making this. You definitely know what you're talking about, and you know this is a bigger problem than anything else. If anyone out there reads this review, I hope you see this flash and learn about a real problem that must be solved ASAP. Great work.

[I'm Blue]

Great use of color art, and distorted cities.

I liked this. It could have been better... What threw me off was: that it begins illustrating what the lyrics talk about... but then after the first chorus starts, almost nothing of what we see has something to do with the lyrics we hear at the same time. So it's a little inconsistent. Your skills as and artist are greatly developed though, You're clearly capable of making big things. Good job.

[Brownies]

This is..

the only flash, less than 50K in size, ever worth seeing. Congratulations that is one tough thing to accomplish.

You're my Jesus, I mean it.

[Ducktales 2:Residuck Evil]

That was...

The best badly animated flash I've ever seen. I mean in in a very positive way. Your timing skills are extremely well developed and the lack of expression in the Duck Tales characters characters characters just looks hilarious. A real exception! Although I wish the voices for HL and D sounded closer to the real show's voice acting, real talent is clearly seen here. Awesome job! That year you took since your last flash really paid off.

[Xombie: Chapter 5 | Reel2]

Same great style as always, some suggestions.

This was great, and I expected this to be great. But why did you split this up into two reels? I think splitting up your chapter into reels is distracting and unpractical. Just look at the results... Until now, the First reel has over 50K views but your second reel has only 25K views. That's a lot of lost audience and thats upsetting. You could have crammed everything into one 4.6 meg file. People would have waited. Also, you totally overused that VOCAL Gliss sound. I mean totally. Did you rip that from the Windwaker Soundtrack? Anyway, you should have used it less. It's the kind of sound that sounds better when you use it rarely. That's what makes it special, you know? Overall, good work and keep making great animated art.

[Time Freezish]

Wow!

That was a masterful display of animated vector artwork. Quite original, great use of colors. Keep goin! That was really good!

[Ranma½ Interactive Dojo 5]

This was extremely clever.

Although the graphics could use some clean up, I was impressed immensely, by the likeness in all of the voices, to the original Ranma TV show. I found this flash series hilarious just because of how close they sound to the original's cast. Your exaggeration of Akane's voice is priceless! I was also very happy to see how cleverly you duplicated the feel of the original, with the respective sounds and music. Same goes for your other submissions. Good job!

Dekathos responds:

Oh wow. That's one hell of a nice review...

You definitely understand where I am coming from man and I thank you immensely for that. I am glad you enjoyed the voice acting for what it was and didn't over-analyze it to much.
Because hell, Akane might sound like a beast but she talks in the same way her english counter part does, right down to the growls and the timing of her speech. To the best of our ability the same goes for the rest of the cast.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the support. Makes it all worth while!

[Feelings]

This was great!

That was cool! You have amazing potential, I can see you making stuff 10 times better in the near future! Your drawings were solid, appealing, and your camera angles made me feel like I was watching something very professional. If I were you I'd start by making the animation a little smoother. Try working with 24 fps next time! And avoid using the sounds that come with Flash. Can't wait to see more!

Eventually when I'm more confortable with Flash, I will upgrade to a higher framerate.
