Ivanovitch's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Submit]

Interesting movie.

How much can interpretations of an abstract thing, like an automated flash portal, be the same, exactly?
I have been toying with the same idea for a long time, and I was pretty annoyed when this hit frontpage: only because when I release my version of this, I'll be accused of stealing this idea.

It was executed very well, and the drawings were spectacular. But then again, some things were a bit illogical.

I understand that this whole movie is logical in your view of the newgrounds portal, but what does a flying white thing have to do with submission? As I said, I understand this must make sense to you, but to an outsider like me it doesn't make sense.
When making a movie like this, you must make sure the viewer understands what's going on, so that the viewer has an idea of how you would expect the portal to work in a 3 dimensional world, thus enjoying it more, voting higher on it.
The last part doesn't really matter, but a well explained movie is more enjoyable to watch.

Also, I only understood what happened at the end when watching it the second time: The movie was seperated from the list of under judgement movies, being given a blue aura, and a screenshot of the portal with a new movie, blue aura, appears. Again, not very explanatory - if I were to watch this once, I wouldn't have understood this.

The idea of this flash was good, yet not new. I cannot accuse you of being lame though, because I myself am working on this very same project. Also, this idea is too obvious AND good to be used only once: I bet every flash artist on Newgrounds has sat to think about this. I have attempted multiple times to do this, but failed each time due to lack of talent.

In the end, I am fascinated looking in other people's minds like this, and I love how our minds match on this subject: a pipe formed entrance is exactly how my idea starts too. From there it turns different though: I haven't thought of using a (trans-dimensional?) gate to the portal.

I voted five on this, because this idea is interesting to me, and definetely inspiring.

Good luck on your future projects :)

Awesome movie

A shame about the trace bitmaps though. Please draw your own backgrounds!

Wow!

This is going in my favorites, how could it not?
It's like, the perfect flash.

:D!!!

Holy hell, that's a great movie! And I don't say that very soon, exactly, unless it's a clock movie.

Gotta be prejudiced if you're in the group, haha.

The graphics weren't spectacular, but great graphics AND fbf are very hard to combine, so 7'd it. Then, the style, 10. LOVE frame by frame, don't like random frame by frames, but this one had recognisable shapes, and went great with the tune. Sound, 9, very catchy! Gave it a really happy feel! Violence and Interactivity, doesn't apply.
Humor: 10! Not extremely funny or anything, but it was very amusing, certainly! Overall 8: A great submission, and I'll definately check out your other flashes!

Thumbs up.

Why thanks for the helpful review! I think I'll do an FBF with better animation.

I AM A TRUE PATRIOT

Also, the fact that I found this movie without you telling me proves me clockcrew-less boredom :(

BunnyClock responds:

how was i supposed to tell you? Anyways, thank you for the review, you are indeed a true patriot.

GO GEORGE BUSH!!!

Hey now!

Weird, that I had to give it low scores basically everywhere, and still scored good in overall. Perhaps that's because 'animation' isn't in there.

Graphics: 2, sorry, but there weren't any good graphics.
Style: 4, hate random FBF's. This one was a very good one though!
Sound: 4, just a random tune.
Violence, Interactivity -
Humor: 3, I was amused but I didn't laugh.

This was how I started at flash, just not as good as this one. Some very nice frame by frame effects. You should consider putting it to better use (lipsyncing for instance, or full colored movies).

Also, take it easy on the random. Another hint: If you were to make movies, full colored, with a storyline, with FBF effects like this, you're in gold :P

Keep it up! I'm bookmarking this so I'll know if you guys have anything new. I'm curious to your progress ;).

[Dr. Lazurus]

You are a genius, quite possibly.

"CamemBEAR?" "No, CamemDOG!".

Brilliance.

Graphics: 9, you gave me some inspiration with the 3d-'ish multilayer faces.
Style: 9, quite stylish indeed. I would say, exquisite.
Sound: 8. I wonder, do you make all the sound effects? I know you do music and such, but I wonder if you're like most people and just get your sounds off someone else's website. If so, I would appreciate a link. Having to look for 30 minutes for a 'door closing' sound that doesn't sound like a twig snapping takes all the fun out of animating :(.
Violence and Interactivity do not apply to this movie, thus 0'd. Didn't affect overall score though.
Humor: 10, splendid. Superb. Outraging. Great, awesome, excruciating, terrific, pure, quality humor.
Overall: 9.

I say lovely dear sir.

NO

NO MORE. ENOUGH WITH THE RIPOFF GROUPS!
For the last time, god, fuck, THERE'S TOO MANY! THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL EVER GROW TO BE LIKE THE CLOCK CREW. If you insist on being in a flash group, please JOIN one that already exists, like the Lock Legion, or the Clock Crew, if you think you're up to it.

And if you MUST create a group, THINK OF SOMETHING NEW instead of hopping the five year old bandwagon that annoys everyone.

0'd because it's a ripoff group.
