blackduckie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Killing spree 100.5]

Oh my God.

This is a parody, right? If it is I have to say it's hilarious. The sloppily drawn characters remind me a lot of MasterAardvark's nonsensical Madness tribute, and while the short length and abrupt cut to some random photo at the end (not to mention the music track continuing to play to its finish, not having been properly cut to the movie's length) liken it to some of those crappy spam videos you see on Newgrounds, the way the animation is done so smoothly and purposefully, if crudely, sets it apart.

It's like a deliberate, smartarse poke at all the other poorly animated Madness tributes kids put onto this site. Really, I could watch it all day.

I also love your series of clips where the feet keep not being animated, occasionally glitching out and appearing where they're not supposed to be. The scenes where the [LMH] quality bars are visible, showing how obviously the were decompiled from the original Madness videos, are my favourite.

This is spam, there is nothing to think about

[Enthalpy Season 1 Opening]

Wow, it's finally happening!

Can't remember how long you've had that ProjectEnthalpy domain registered. It's great to see things are finally underway now, and I have to say the animation is looking pretty high-standard so far.

Not too sure what to make of the 3D effects at this point; they have a potential to seem out of place, but as long as the use is subtle and interwoven other aspects of a scene, I don't think it should be too conspicuous. But that said, I'm enjoying the departure from the sort of fixed-stance motion-tween reliant character movements you've used for past animations - if the FBF is taking a lot of effort, at least know that it's well-appreciated!

Honestly the only thing that didn't work so well for me was the music. I enjoyed Ramon Osborn's compositions for Nicholas' Weird Adventure 2, so nothing against his talents, but the theme song here really just sounded like a mess of FL Studio default sounds and effects at a constant volume, not building up any excitement, thus not fitting well with the fast-paced animation. The melody itself is OK, though.

So how many years do you think we have left to wait before the first episode is released? Hopefully it shan't be too much longer now. :)

I wanted the opening music to be an orchestral version of the theme but I ran out of time and used a previous version I did as an experiment. I hadn't thought about how obvious it was I was using default FL Studio instruments, but that's a good point.

The only 3D effects in the video were the skeleton (rendered in Swift 3D) and the hovercraft (rendered in Lightwave then traced frame-by-frame in Flash). The rest was hand drawn.

Thank you for giving in-depth feedback. That's always appreciated.

[[Mexican Nyan Cat]]

Haha

Not bad, especially for a first. Do you know you're featured in the "My Name is Grillex" YouTube video?

[Salad Fingers Episode. 9]

@sanjeev98

No, it's an April Fools' joke based on David Firth recently having announced that Salad Fingers 9 WILL be coming soon.

[Mastermind 6]

I liked it

Certainly better than episode 5.

[Lemonade]

Well, I came expecting a string of lame innuendos

So I can say now that I am not disappoint.

[Kenya Bros]

Haha, nice, and subtle.

... that is, until about halfway through where you just shove it into everyone's faces, stripping the animation of all the charm and irony it had in the beginning. Sorry, I just couldn't enjoy it after that.

[Men From Up The Stairs]

Well that was very ... thought provoking.

However, I voted a 1 out of 5 because it makes poop look good.

[Pokemon: Explained]

You have just been trolled.

I've read all this before. I was kinda hoping for a video adaption of it, but as I can see you're just another one of those Kitty Krew spammers being a dickhead for the hell of it. Good on you. You've wasted 3.2 MB of my internet and several minutes of my time. Seriously, why did the TEXT all have to be a bitmap?

Indeed, I have just been trolled. And now I'm responding with a fully written review. How sad.
