R1665's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Across the Universe: Ep.1]

A masterpiece!

I could not look away from the screen for even a second! VERY WELL DONE!

I also must congratulate you on your smoke and particle effects!

I'll say it one more time because it bears repeating: VERY WELL DONE!!

[DCU VS MK]

"really bad"?

Dude, if this is what you consider "really bad", then I can't wait to see what you think is "really good"!

Don't bash your flash, bro. It gives viewers the wrong impression before you even get your foot in the door.

[Friends Or Rivals?]

Really good work!

The only thing I had to ding you on was the audio quality. You did have a 2.5 megabyte leeway there to improve it. I see from your description box that filesize is an issue, but consider the following:

If the viewer has a fast connection, then the difference between 7.5 MEGS and 10 MEGS is one of mere moments.

If the viewer has a slow connection, and is willing to sit through 7.5 MEGS of loading, then what's another 2.5 MEGS?

It is my opinion that audio quality is just as important as video quality. I think that skimping on the sound of an otherwise beautiful flash is like driving a luxury sportscar after sandblasting all the paint off of it.

But, you know how the old saying goes. "Opinions are like assholes..."

You do good work, man. No matter what I or anybody else says, the most important question you should ask yourself at the end of the day is, "Am I happy with and proud of this work?"

If you can answer "Yes", then nothing else matters.

Thanks man, Good job with your daily 2nd place.

[M2 - Surviving]

Outstanding!

This is a work of art. The only substantial problem I see at the moment is that your score is too low. I'll see what I can do about that...

The only constructive advice I can give you is stylistic and entirely subjective: I felt that the Linkin Park song was too "weak" for the first battle scene. It just didn't seem to fit the atmosphere. Secondly, you seem to excel in the difficult craft of open-area battle, so I must admit that the subway portion seemed a bit too restrained to take proper advantage of your strengths. Of course, these opinions reflect nothing more than my own personal tastes and bear absolutely no weight on your score. Feel free to disregard them.

Suroy responds:

WOW.... thanks for this note

I don't will speak nothing about the Link Park music... My friend say me the same thing... but my choreography already it was adjusted to time of music... so any music fit too in this animation... so I leave to see what would happen....

About the subway, was intentional, I think show to all.. is no escape... fight until death.

So thanks, thanks, thanks, thank you very much... And your sequel ? any date?

[KingHeathen]

KingHeathen ROCKS.

KingHeathen is my favorite YouTuber. I hope he gets a few extra subs from this.

[EX-Ken vs. Akuma]

Very well done

The fight was very well done, but there were a few things which, in my humble opinion, could have been done better.

First of all, the hitsparks seemed a little plain and awkward. Secondly, you spent WAY too much time milking your "charging" and "slow-mo" sequences. Thirdly, the fighters, at certain points, seemed to just stand there and wait for the other to attack.

Those are just my nitpicky observations, though.

Very well done.

Thanks man, I love your movie too, if you know this is NOT my style.

[Saturday Night Kombat]

well happy to help hahah
thanx man

[M2 - A New Challenge]

Incredible...

Your first movie? HOLY CRAP!

I can see that I'm going to have to fight you all the way to Proxicide's throne...

Keep it up!

R1665

Suroy responds:

How Keep it up ?

I think many peoples don't like my animation, maybe the start because it's monotonous... Maybe not interesting a fight between womans, I don't know, but I will keep animating...

Thanks to the comment, I still far away from proxicide too. But one day I expect touch he.... hahahahahaha

[Ryu vs Dudley]

Good job.

The choreography was nice as were your hitsparks. The only downside I noticed was the each fighter's tendency to simply stand there while the other delivered their slower, more powerful attacks.

All in all, a damn fine movie.

R1665

Slicing-Claws responds:

Thanks man, I was just to lazy in this movie to keep everyone in action, you can't say you never had one of those days hahah

[Street Fighter Ult. Ed.]

Good show.

Your close-proximity choreography was very enjoyable. I found it to be a very good film, but there are a few improvements that you could make.

First of all, 24 fps might have been just a LITTLE bit too fast. While action should be fast enough to keep the mind interested, it shouldn't be such to the extent that it is a chore to keep up. It's not choppiness, it's just animating a hair too fast.

Secondly, you need hitsparks. Lots of hitsparks.

Thirdly, you might want to capture some genuine Akuma vocalizations instead of speeding down Ryu's.

Lastly, your close-proximity exchanges were very exciting and well-done. In fact, it was good to the point that the DBZ-esque stuff was an intrusion that only served to slow the action down.

Overall, this was a great flash with a whole lot of interesting sequences. I look forward to your next one.
