Mirak's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Musical Mingle]

Great idea, awesome concept, done very bad.

The idea and composition was pretty good, i'd say it had potential for a daily feature, but what seemed to be a great ideas was at the end executed terribly.

The animation is very bad, the graphics could have been done in a very different and much more better way, the background could have been consisted of something more than just a couple of tiled and repeated lines.

Overall, try doing it again, next time, try making the music longer and remove the nuclear explosion and the singing mouths, those just put an unneeded tack in your foot.

[Battlefield My Style!]

Senseless violence, sticks and random music.

That's all this flash is. I would have given you a better score depending on the originality and storytelling factor, which you olympically jumped across of.

Graphics: 6/10.- 5 of these 6 points goes to the smoke and fire effects you drew, the last point to the actual design of the characters.

Audio: 2/10.- A random music track with no optimization at all.

Interactivity: 1/10.- Where is the preloader? You need to put a preloader in your movies, is fundamental for it to be enjoyed quite a lot more on this site.

Theme: 0/10.- Gerenic, done to death and awfully planned. Keep in mind that the thing that keeps scores being high is not making the same thing over and over, regardless of who made it, scores are high when people are original enhough to create a story, senseless violence does not look good on anyone's profile.

Overall: 6/10.- You're still way too green, keep training, you've got potential.

Thankyou very much for the tips, very helpful :)

[Jackie]

A great piece.

To think this scene could have actually happened in any similar or identical way in our daily life. A great job.

[Ketchup & Mustard]

Excellent first animation.

This is what we need here at newgrounds.
Honest, finished first flashes with a plot (sort of) and enhough balance between comical humor and good graphics.

One thing i'd reccomend is upgrading the audio, since it was pretty low quality and some parts of their dialogue were hard to understand.

Overall, nice work and i hope to see more Ketchup and Mustard in the future.

[Vete a la Versh 2]

Jajajajaja no mames! xD

"Todo saldra bien porque-PEEEERRAAAA! :D"
Increible. Primera risa honesta de toda la semana.

Darkar responds:

Woot!

[The Final Act]

This shouldn't be on Newgrounds

It deserves a place in a better place with actual artists, it pains me to see so many bad reviews of stupid people who can't understand what symbolism means.

The piece itself is a true work of art, the expression of content and glee on the mime's face at the thought of getting out of this cruel life is bizarre and sad at the same time, he knows what he will do, and he accepts his final act with cheer.

I salute you, truly a good job.

[Twatlight]

Oh lawd.

I saw this as soon as i logged in on NG, right after watching twilight, i lol'd because everything portraid is true.

[SkoolCool Demo Reel 2008]

A remix. Yeah right.

Is called "turning the song backwards". Quien la cantaba... Molotov? No ya no me acuerdo.
Y si ya esta bien viejo, todavia trae al peje.

SkoolCool responds:

El punto no era que la cancion estuviese genial, solo importaba la animación. El peje estaba ahi para un proyecto escolar, no por que fuera antiguo ni por algun otra razón.

[Chaos Chemistry LE]

Of course it is!

Woah, you actually did it, thanks!
I don't know why, some guy said my review asking for the loop was abusive and it got deleted.

Heil responds:

i dont know but yes i made it!

[Emo Boy Ep.1]

Lol what?

I flipped when i saw my username there, if you dedicated it to me, then i don't know why. It's probably a mistake, i don't know.

Anyway, lip sync is actually easy if you do it with separated mouths instead of using a shape tween.

It's the easiest tutorial i've followed about it.

cHunter responds:

Sweet, but that's not my only problem. How do I get the audio to match up with the mouth in Flash? On my computer it looked synced, but when I uploaded it, it was most definitely not synced. :3
