4AM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cooking with Hannibal]

WOW! That was great!

Now THAT is how you do a short joke in cartoon form! Mad props, make more!

[Poninjas Episode Two]

Awsome!

First eposide was slightly better, but you're still learning where to go with this. You need to make more combination moves, like in the first one with the ninja stars and the bo, it was one move OFF the other instead of one move AFTER the other.

The bosses shoudl be longer, and I dunno if anyone hos pointed this out yet but this feels to me like it's a cross between iloveegg and Madness...which turns out is not a bad thing at all! Keep em Comming!

[NED: begging of the end]

I liked this because

it finally gave my first name cool acronym. Work on the subtitles. If you are not a great english speaker, have someone help you translate or at least correct your grammar. if you are then i think you're jsut being lazy because compare the first part of this review with the following part.

It is much easier on the eyes, and it looks so much more professional, when you take the time to do really nice subtitling.

Keep it up!

[EviL overmom]

This is very original!

I liked the concept! It made a good short and was presented as such quite well, but it left me wanting more anyway.

I have you an 8 for sound because the voices seemed much quieter than the music at a low volume, and the music was sudden and loud enough to wake up other peopel I was being quiet for :-D. No biggie though.

Other than that, all my 5 are b'long to this.

[Arena 4]

One criticism

Work on your pacing. The rest, you've got it all down. Balance your sound a touch, but very good overall. Nice with the motion blurs. 0wnage.

FireHound responds:

So what have I learned so far...
I have to make a story, watch the pacing, watch the sound fx & make it longer. (from other reviews too)

[The Slaying Of The Beast]

3 suggestions

I have the criticisms, but indeed it's only to help you get better, and believe me from a comparative standpoint this flash was AWSOME, the combination of animation elements and styles is someting rarely seen, you have talent!!!!

Anyways, Areas I felt needed refinement:

Work on the stop-motion a little more. Some of the shots are really shakey and chaotic. There is a program for Mac called iStopMotion that takes a video feed and will capture and overlay the frames with live video so you can see the change your makng between each frame, this or something liek it for your choice of machine might be very helpful!

Photoshop technique in modifing the pictures coudl use some work, the blood looked pretty fake, however the movement was nice.

The tweening seemed a little slow, if you where going for a slow-motion effect that's cool, but perhaps try turing up the frame rate on flash, makes for more fluid tweens.

Overall, though this was really, really unique and awsome! Do more, the more you make the more practice you get, and the more amazing of a movie you will create!

[Magic Animal Babies]

Honestly, you're one of my favorate animators ever

that was great, I can't wait for RAB6. perhaps you should think of 2 more words for the title, and then RAB can be RABID? No? Ok it's alte and I'm tired. Anyways, awomse awsome, awsome! Also, I ckeched out your site and enjoyed your Fark cartoons! Just keep them commng, you're one of the reasons the Internet is still entertaining! I want a beer.

[Superheroes 3]

*COUGH*TeenGirlSquad*COUGH*

Ok, anyone who has ever seen Homestar Runner before knows where you got all your ideas. However, having not watched teh rest of the series, I'm not sur ethis is supposed to be a parody or just be "in the same style". If it' snot an absolute direct parody, then end this quick, it's WAY to cliched. On a good note, you have great audio skills. Work on an original format and perhaps a more cartoonish animation, and you're golden.

[Trailor Bash'in]

hahahaha

Def. has problems in my more formidable years with highways and cops and being really, really, really f*cking reefed.

[Pube Mupit Dies]

Bwahahaha

Things should happen more suddenly after that fat bitch laughs. I have you a 9 on sound because even tho the ClockCrew voices actually kinda irritate me, some parts it actually distorts like pube muppet is really screaming in the mic! That and you actually streamed the sound so it looked right on my computer.

Looking forward to part 2. :-)
