animatorjones's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda LinkXRetro]

great work

it's pretty cool seeing this right after just watching your latest "Link and Navi" and this is why.
(please do not take this as a bad thing)
but you can tell you are fresh into the program in this one, you can tell with some of the methods you used to animate it. BUT you can also see that you were pushing all the tools you did have to their fullest, which is awesome. Great piece you have here and a nice marker on your progress in animation.

it's great to see that you've improved in such a short span of time and are producing front page material. Keep it up! you are obviously more than capable and i hope you continue to push yourself.

5'd and 10/10 for your first big flash animation

LinkXRetro responds:

yeah
i've only been animating for about a year now
thanks

[The Epic Raid on NG]

star for music, star for keeping me awake

with text. but you said it yourself.

"i know it's shit, i made it in an hour, and it's just text and pictures (of text lawl) i have no idea why it has this score"

never knew about this raid. But there is no reason to give these Bobos any more attention than they need.

gl with any animations you make in the future!
btw mindchamber schooled you :x

Radioactive24 responds:

Lol, MC is my nig, we go way back. Besides, I don't think he can "own" me if I agree with him.

And the reason I made this? Sheer hilarity. And the fact that about 8 bazillion of my other idiot friends made a movie too.

[BING BING]

Thank you for showing me this!

Wow... what a serious enjoyment to watch this :D

perfect title for the style, music, and random factor.

you picked a Great song *(i'm a sucker for 8-bit sounds)* and animated to it beautifully. love the color schemes and outlandish settings. excellent work, keep making more!

-jones

Rutger responds:

Thanks man! I really appreciate that :D

[like a duck (colour)]

wow incredible

i loved this!

talk about smooooth, everything about this was clean and smooth. the fbf, the soft color pallete that accentuated the fbf. man it was just all good. and it was long!

excellent display of your talent :D

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks man, these compliments are enough to keep me happy for at least another 24 hours!

[How Are You Now?]

an amazing animation

you hit all the soft spots with this one.

your animation is simple but VERY effective, clean, and coherant.
the brother running around as the tiger or the helicopter given the little space they were in was touching and cute.

it was sad but somehow full of hope, and when a child brings that kind of hope it hits even harder for some reason.

anyway great flash, this should be one of the top if it was up to me.

awesome gaiden at #1 ... hmmm when you actually take the time to make something worthwhile. anyway, GREAT work

-jones

ttback responds:

As creators, we are also deeply moved by the sadness of the tragedy. I'm glad this work has brought everyone together for the moment to share those memories.

[[2007] REBOOT 9]

oh no!

i'm giving you a 10 for the series.

but i have to say this one didn't hit me as hard as reboot 8. maybe it was the flow, or the music. not sure. either way the series is great. very original and you can tell you put a ton of work into it. keep it up can't wait for more.

JMartin97 responds:

The general consensus also seems to be the story is confusing. I have to admit this episode was made in chunks over a longer time than the other episode, after a while, it also gets really hard to keeping working on the same thing... and you start just "going through the motions". So. I'm going to completely change Reboot after this episode, make the story faster and make smaller episodes. My goal at first was to test the limits of flash.. but now that I have ... I realize there's some other stuff I have to work on o_o(you all know what i mean lol), I kind of let myself get lost in ideas.

Anyway, thanks for the review and look for the next episode in 3-4 months, it'll only be 7 minutes!

[-Simply Animation-]

i gave you an 8 for length i think

you have the concept for fbf down which is a plus, but i'm personally not a fan of the random animations anymore :( but since it wasn't really short i give you props because i know you put time into this.

the 2 things that bugged me were the sun and the stewie/mario traces (if they weren't traced i beg your pardon, i didn't change your score for those reasons because i don't think it's a bad piece at all, haha sorry if it sounds like i'm just bashing btw... just constructive feedback, my score is accurate to what i think about it)

the sun changed positions lol and i wasn't sure about the gradient you chose for it.

Ba ill shut up, nice job and i look foward to more of your work

-jones

Rudy responds:

I'm sorry that you're not that much into random flashes. And thank you for the criticism, to make perfect you need pointers.

Thanks.

[Dark Era: Chapter 1]

i want to give a 7.5 but can't :(

can someone say 28 days later? well i look foward to your twist on that plot, (or any zombie plot lol, they are all pretty much the same but seem to keep people interested :D i can't really hear you, but you are speaking in spanish so subtitles may be needed reguardless, i'm sorry but i had to take off some for that little ice cream soda cut scene, the graphical switch may look good to some, but i felt it took away from the general feel. you could have gotten away with gorging on ice cream and soda keeping same graphics.)

great job on this though i'm sure you spent time on this and it shows. i look foward to seeing how this turns out, i hope it has some originality!!!

jones-

Falco-09 responds:

Well, some people liked that little part with the soda, some desliked it... so i'll be careful with that kind of scenes...

I think that the next chapter will be more story related, but well, i'll see you there.

[Duel for the pizza]

pretty good

i don't know if you've ever played the game worms, but this concept was one of the intros, lol and a common one in select comedy acts. besides that. well done, keep it up

kojay responds:

yeh i got the idea for it from that but i forgot to mention it the description
