Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MC Hammurabi's Code]

\m/

Everything looks nice here. The choice of colors, the few animations (they COULD have been a bit better, though), the music is ok, too... but it's more or less useless without any background information.
I mean, I couldn't figure out what was going on, especially when those three icons moved around on the world map.

A short textbox with the basics of what happens would help a lot here.

Graphics and animations are good. You also had very detailed backgrounds, which is always a plus.

The song was a good choice and you managed to keep your animations synched with the song. It may be a bit fast from time to time, but this way it feels like a music video.

Too bad you didn't add any sounds to it. I think the flash would be better with various sounds and a few voices (like when the ghost drops the guy on the street, the guy should scream, etc.) .

A lot of people have a sound AND MUSIC Fetish.

Why didn't I think of that? :c

[Father & Son In: Trip]

\m/

The storyline is very interesting and you had some very funny scenes in here (I espcecially liked the guy floating by in the background when Father & Son whent rafting).

The main downsinde here are the very rough graphics. Everything looks quite sloppy, with hardly any straight line in it.
Also, there are no shades in here, which looks a bit strange.

The animations looked decent. Only thing here was the scene when Father & Son went for a walk. It looked like they where on a speedwalk (only moving in the wrong direction), because the stones on the path moved faster than the trees in the foreground.

CSanimations responds:

Thanks, and you're right, the graphics aren't amazing, but this whole thing was a learning process. I feel I'm now getting better, although shading and shadowing is still a problem. I didn't want to draw too many lines, because I wanted it to look a bit handmade, however, I don't think I quite pulled it off, which is a shame, because you're right, it does look a bit sloppy so that's a real shame.
But I'm glad you liked the animation, I did try my very best with that.
As for the walking bit, yeah, I still haven't quite cracked that, so I could use a few tips.
Thanks for such a good and constructive review.

Well, the graphics look a bit rough, but I think with some more practice you can easily improve on that.

The voice acting was good, only downside is the low sound quality.

The story is a bit hard to follow because of the quick scene changes. It seems very hard to improve on the scene changes, but maybe you can give the viewer a bit time.
I'll try to explain what I mean by saying that: Right now, you change scenes and instantly continue with the story (ie you cut to what seems to be some kind of control room and instantly some character is saying something). Maybe it would work better if you wait a short time before someone speaks after the cut. That way the viewer had some time to notice that the camera now shows a completly different room with different characters in it.

Lol blame a combination of my xbox heasdset and my first time using audacity. As for the graphics: Yeah they should be better.

I'll keep in mind what you said about the scene transition, thanks for pointing it out.

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 8]

\m/

It's a nice flash. Even though the characters look quite simple you managed to visualize their feelings with their eyes pretty well. But mouths would still be a nice addition. ^^

The voice acting was done great, only Gary was a bit too quiet. Would be nice if all characters had the same volume.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Where ISN'T my mind?]

\m/

The build up is pretty nice, but I was expecting a bit more than just some moving dots and lines.

The music was pretty nice and the lyrics at the bottom where quite funny.

However, the whole flash seems to be unfinished. It just stops at the end. It's highly unsatisfying.

Some of the scenes looked pretty good. Especially the "Take on me"-scene. I wished that it was a bit longer, though.

I liked the change over from one part to the next. That screen and the sound you used there created the impression of someone swichting channels on a TV and watching a few seconds of random shows.

[The Dot Of Excellence 3]

\m/

A random tune from the audio portal + some random dots on the canvas = dot of excellence 3.

At least PRETEND that you are trying to improve your flashes...

[Wegra Adventure 6]

\m/

Hm, not so random as last time, also not so funny as last time. Only thing that made me chuckle was when wegra asked that lady if she's the one from the last episode.

The music selection was nice for Luigi's home, but didn't fit that good in the "getting a job"-scene.
Also, the music was so loud that we weren't able to hear the speakonia voice that well. All I could make out was "piece of shit".

The last episodes where funny because they where pretty random. In a way the bad drawings fitted to that style. But it doesn't fit here at all, as there is not that much randomness left in this episode. So, improved graphics are mandatory if you plan to continue this series any further.
