Mirak's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[just violence]

I don't care either. :)

You don't care what needas fixing, you don't care about cirtiscism, you don't care if this is shit or not, well, i don't care about giving it other score than 0.

Here you go.

TheL1st responds:

thanks! =D

[An Odd Humpty Dumpty]

EVERYONE, WATCH THIS FLASH!

YES. THIS flash here is a PERFECT example of what flash movies we want here as your first ones, not stick men nor 4 frame loops without sound, nor HUGE flash movies with preloaders.

Excellent use of textures, next time, try using a faster frame per second rate, it'll make the animation go more fluid.

Naytronic5000 responds:

Never thought of using a faster frame rate. I was wondering if that would solve a couple issues. THANKS!!!

[Ryu vs Golem]

*sigh*

HOW DO I USED WAND TOOL?!?!?!!?
Seriously, besides being a spritemovie, you didn't even had the decency of removing Ryu's background from the sprite.

Fail.

InnerChild721 responds:

Didn't have the decently?

I CAN'T!!

That's not how it works, the color is the Image, Mr. Sprite expert.

My review

There are many sound libraries in the web. For example, findsounds is a great website wich has a search function to say, find "punch" sounds etc. Next time try adding sounds.

You must go to the flash protal and click on "get NG preloaders", then open the preloader and follow the instructions inside.
Now, as for your flash, the concept is too overused, there is this something on 13 year old kids that makes them think violence is cool and stuff. And that's ok, you can do whatever you feel like doing in flash, but try to make something with a story instead of mindless, pointless stick fights and related material.
You made a well use of the Flash 8 filters and, though the graphics were awfully simple, you managed to keep me interested enhough to view it 'till the end.

By the way, to stop a movie at the end to prevent it from replaying over and over, try clicking on the last keyframe of your flash. Once you clicked on it, press F9 and the actionscript panel shall open, put this into it:

stop();

This will make the movie stop at the end and it won't keep playing.

thx

[Life of Baggy]

Well this look like it might have pote-WHAT THE???

It looked fine when it started and it developed nice, but it all wen't down with that ending. It's a plastic paper bag, it does not have blood. If it had blood then it wouldn't be able to float.

LOGIC ERROR.

SynestheticSoul responds:

This is to everyone who's all like, "Why does it bleed?!?!"

Because I thought it would be random and funny. I see a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. Cartoons on TV, anyone?

[Anti-Strawberryclock]

Oh, it's you.

So the cock flash that got blammed the other day was yours, that did not help much for expectations of this flash movie lol.
This does show you know what you're doing, very simple cartoonish style, wich is a good thing, use of preloader, optimized audio, yep, and finally a good dose of anti clock violence. All the good things a flash need to succeed.

muffinman9 responds:

My clock flash didnt get blammed, it passed, I havent got a movie blammed yet...aw well thanks so much for the 10 and for all the postive words. I really appreciate your review, thank you.

[ThePieWhoDestroyedTheWorl]

This is how first movies must be,

My comment before the review:
I give you a nine and a 4th vote.
THIS is how first submissions on newgrounds should be for EVERYONE.

Review, the WY and WHY NOT:
According to my guide for epic awesomeness, to succesfully introduce a flash movie in newgrounds when made for the first time, you must have at least 3 of the following marked with an 'x'.

[x]Use of a preloader.
[ ]Use of sound effects.
[x]At least a bit of effort in the graphics instead of drawing stick men.
[x]Use of music.
[ ]Use of music compression wisely.

Congratulations, your move is approved! (b '_')b

BigBoiJim13 responds:

Thanks!!!

[Happy Birthday Uncle Dan]

Nice.

You get gold points if your uncle get's seizures from watching this. :P
Just kidding. Well use of preloader, excellent sound sync.

Overall, a nice job, i'm sure you'r uncle will like it.

Maxaroni5 responds:

okay

[Revolucion de Gasolina]

Mi voto.

Voy a votar de manera justa.
No me gusta el reggaeton, de veras, no es que tenga nada en contra de los que lo cantan, de hecho el ritmo de las canciones esta bailable, pero simplemente la letra se ha vuelto demasiado degradante e irrespetuosa para nuestras fieles compañeras las mujeres.
Todas las canciones siempre tienen algo relacionado con el sexo, eso ya aburre despues de 5900000034320 canciones con el mismo tema.

Otra: NO son canciones. Una cancion contiene elementos liricos detallados y no derogatorios que arman un ambiente armónico ante el sistema auditivo del oyente, este no es el caso.
Cualquier inculto tenochca puede hacer su "cancion" de reggaeton simplemente trayendo el soundtrack cortado de alguna cancion famosa como 'Follow the leader' u otras y gritas cosas relacionadas con el sexo al micrófono, no importa si tienes bonita voz o si sabes canta, solo hay que gritar incluyendo dos o tres tonos. (Cualquier cnciond e reggaeton lo demuestra)

Ahora, con respecto a las gráficas, Solo dibujaste un... Eh... Algo y lo moviste muchas veces, la mayoria de veces incluyendo imagenes de fondo o escenografias hecha presionando y jalando el mouse para todos lados con diferentes colores.

Si necesita mucha mejora.

Starberry responds:

reggaeton, eh, pues, no me gusta tambien. yo pienso que es comico.

jaja, esta flash nunca estaba pretendido estar serio.

mi espanol no esta tan bueno que estaba, que triste! yo puedo leer bien, pero se olvido alguno vocabulario y gramatica! :o
