El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BABY ON THE TOWN]

heh

Nice little adventure cute character design good humor, and altogether fun to watch, the ending is pretty sad but I guess that is kind of the signature humor style of newgrounds.

[Lincolnfrog]

hmmm

it was alright, but to be honest the concept was funnier than the end result in this flash, the drawings were okay, the animation coulda been better, it was fun for awhile, but I think the humor was just a bit too random to really be funny.

[Big Fun Show!]

hehehe

Very funny, the drawings could have been a little better but they were allright. Nice intro and outro music, but where this flash really shines is it's excellent humor and dialogue, good work on the voice acting as well, it was a lot of fun to watch.

[EVILDAVE TV- Puppy Chow]

heheh

fucked up, but its a nice joke, and you have a good sense of humor. The drawings could use some work and the animation was a little stiff, but it was still fun to watch.

[Zelda: UO Epis:7]

Nice

The animation is pretty high in this one, and although there are certain points where it may be a bit too slow going, you did a great job of portraying the mood and telling your story, I noticed a typo where it said "past the test" rather than "passed the test" but I don't think that sort of thing will really bother the average newgrounder. Most of the voicework is very good, some of it seemed a little off, but overall I was impressed by the coordination between the voiceactors which I am assuming recorded their lines in completely separate locations, while still matching tone to each other in the conversations very well. The drawings were pretty good, but could have used a bit more character. All in all I think this will be a pretty sucessful flash and definitely worth seeing for any Zelda fans.

Lol yeah. I'm finding myself constantly fixing typos in this animation and reuploading it. XD I'll be more careful next time.

[TTOS- Official Teaser]

nice

that was a very well put together preview and it had good production value. The visual quality was high, and the choice and timing of sound'music was good as well, the title is no good though to be honest, the "team of seven" sounds like a name that was created when nothing else could be thought of. Don't worry though, most hollywood movies originally have different titles as well. But it is important to change a title when necessary if you want it to live up to its full potential and be the best it can possibly be as a flash. Try to think of variations of this name, such as " Alpha Squad Seven", "Task Force 7". or "the Seventh Cell". These are just examples of course, but the point is that there a lot of options out there for this flash's title, I just don't think "the team of seven" really rolls off the tongue or has a good ring to it, best of luck to you in the production of the flash, I look forward to seeing the final project.

O.O ummmm >.> dude your names beat the crap outta mine lol i might just use one of those XD anyways ill put that into thought! thanks for the review as well. honestly the reason i put the title as it is, because i started the original story a LONG time ago and its evolved since and i never changed the name of it....wich turned traditional (if i spelled that right), but i wont bore ya with a reply that goes into a deep history lol. im glad your lookin forward to the final project! ill look into that title issue before the main trailer and project is released just to see if i wanna change it or keep it. sorry for the long reply lol :P

[Don't Worry, Son]

excellent

The drawing and animation were excellent it this. You have a GREAT cartooning style, and the subtle head movements in this were very good, the story was interesting, odd, and amusing, and the voicework was clear, crisp, and masterfully done, all in all it was highly enjoyable, and very creative as well.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks v much!

[Warhed 2]

pretty good

character design was cute but simple, and the timing of movement matched up well to the music, Considering they are basic shapes though, makes me realize how much better this is than the recent wave of shape flash spam that hit newgrounds.

[FLIES!!]

ehh

the joke was actually kind of funny, but the flash was basically just a quarter second loop and really merits no artistic praise as a flash animation, after all its not even drawn its just a photo with one vibrating part.

[Winter River]

very serene

I think it should have sound though, not music or anything like that just ambient background sound like winter wind and the sound of the brook, for such a simple short loop, I really dug that because of how peaceful it was and the drawing was pretty well done as well.
