blackduckie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oh... It's Clock Day]

Pffft.

I was actually watching it for a few minutes before I realised it was a loop.

[A Pixel Movie]

Cool!

My main criticism is that the pixel characters didn't actually do anything; they were just drawn and left there. Also quite a few of them lacked colour.

I have to say, my favourite part was actually the introduction. As short as it was, it still managed to make up 75% of the entire file size. Maybe you should consider some form of compression?

Anyway, you get a 4/5 from me. =) Hope to see more stuff like this in the future!

Logidude responds:

Thanks. I like the intro too. I might use it for all of my movies from now on.

[Awesome Combo]

Hey, it was cool, but...

Newgrounds isn't really the place to submit tests. If you include this in a larger movie, then you can submit that, and I must admit it was well animated, but perhaps put this on some other site, like the StickPage Portal, which accepts (and gets way too many) tests, if you want to get more appropriate criticism. =)

Also, your stick-figure seems to be missing a head. What's up with that?

[Test: wait to blam]

Resizing?

Congratulations, you shrunk a 1024 by 768 pixel image to 534 by 400. Is this a new resizing feature you're working on?

[Walk in the Woods]

DAMN IT!

Newgrounds does not deserve to host such awesomeness. Also, I wanted to be the first to review, but as you didn't submit it for about a week after it came out, I gave up the idea of staying up all night checking your profile for updates. Anyway, it's hilarious as usual, and I have that rhino set as my desktop wallpaper. :D
Seriously, this is probably my favourite Flash movie ever. My favourite part (unsurprisingly) is the aeroplane bit. Great job. Hope to see more of this!

[Pork]

OMG

I never said I wasn't going t marry it.

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

AWESOME (and smooth)

That was an excellent addition to the Blockhead series. I don't know how long exactly it took to make because I only started watching when the series was already up to eight episodes.
Nothing really bad about it except for the Conscience's new hairstyle and the way you kept trying different camera angles on him. (Well, most of them weren't too bad, but the one from the left side of the chair really sucked.)
The animation was super smooth; I just have to know what framerate the cartoon runs on. For most of my animations (none of which have been finished; you'll find I haven't submitted anything before now) I set the framerate to 24 fps, but this looked a lot higher. While I was watching it it didn't lag at all which was pretty good considering my connection. (It's not so much the connection, but considering how much my family uses the internet, I quickly run out of download capacity.)
The way you've been using frame-by-frame animation all along is pretty stunning, as I could never imagine animating all that (it's so much easier to use shape-tweening!) with just the brush tool (OK, not JUST the brush tool) and keyframes. Maybe I just plain suck.
But you don't.
Alright, I'm probably boring you and anybody else who cares to read this whole review so I've just decided to shut up now.
Great work on the animation, voicing and comedy.

P.S. I'm going to start working on my own Blockhead animation just as soon as I get all the data recovered from my stupid crashed hard drive. I'm hoping it will turn out well.

OK, now I will shut up.
