El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TypeFaces]

Nice work

I would suggest the addition of sound though, but be sure to choose something mellow and fitting, but not too elevatory, I think you did a great job of this and although, you self describe the animation as crude I would disagree, although, the drawing quality is simple, it's effective form a design standpoint, which is what's important here, and drawings aside, the animation itself has rather high quality, so don't knock yourself too much, you did a fine job of it.

Cheeseycom responds:

You're absolutely right, some sort of sound would definitely have made it more interesting. Unfortunately I left this project far too late and hunting for appropriate sounds/music wasn't really an option.
Thank you for your positive review =]

[Flee Get Down]

heh

Nice funny drawings and interesting song, but I think you were a bit too repetitive in the moves, it was fun for awhile though, but there was just way too much repetition, good work though.

[Gameparty]

Nice

This is a good little collection of shorts. To be honest, I do wish it was a bit longer though, but the frame by framing is pretty damn good, and even though you say you don't like the music, it does all match up pretty well, except the sonic one which should maybe be changed to a different sonic song.

ZombieRod responds:

the whole sonic thing didint went as i expected, i will shure improve my skills with sounds and make my movies longer
(sorry if this text doesn`t makes sense, my english is not really good)

[Tankmen.912]

hmmm

Not a bad parody, the voicework and animation isn't really up to par with the original, but you did a good job of emulating the art style, and a pretty good job with the lipsynching as well. I think some of the humor could have been a bit funnier, which yeah it's hard to parody a comedy, because the original is funny in the first place, but I can tell you put a bit of thought and effert into this so good job.

DeanCutty responds:

Thank you. This was really fun to create...The next parody should be out in the next couple of months...

[The Lady In White]

Ecellent work

Your style is so artistic and awesome. It's really nice to see something so masterfully done come through the portal, I liked your attention to the detail of subtle movements such as the wind through, the hair, and I thought you told a very good story here. The song you chose fits perfectly, and all in all it was really just a joy to watch.

Hildebrandt responds:

Jolly pleased! The work payed of :)

[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.

ScootLumpDude responds:

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.

cris17 responds:

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!

[Doughboy's Revenge]

Nice

I enjoyed watching this, it was a fun little story and pretty funy as well, the drawings and animation could definitely use some work (ever heard of elbows?), but good use of sound and I got a kick out of it.

Lukidge responds:

haha thanks man... as for the elbows, at the time i was kinda mimicking the south park style (very crudely). which was also a convenient excuse for sucking at computer graphic design. if i had access to a scanner during this era, i would've hand-drawn everything.

[Wazzup with all this crap]

heh

your idea is good, and I definitely agree with you that the wazzup flashes are not funny, but you're not really fighting fire with fire here, you're just adding to the already huge collection of crap which is Wazzup. At least yours are hand drawn though.

JMartin97 responds:

This from when I was like 13 O_O but it just goes to show how far you can go if you try :D
