Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Smucker's Moment]

\m/

I like this one. It's rather short, but it's very funny. So no need to make this any longer than it is now.
The graphics are decent. The backgrounds could have been a bit more detailed in my opinion. Also, you have to work on the lip syncing. The boy's mouth looked quite weird, when he was talking.
But I liked the idea that one couldn't see the mouth of that old man, because it was hid behind his beard ^^.

The voice acting is pretty good, but the sound lacks some quality. It crackles a bit here and there, so maybe you can fix that. It's somewhat strange that the sound quality is perfect at the end of the flash, where that announcer says his line ("With a name like..." and so on).

The animations could have been a bit more fluent, but it somehow fits together with the graphics.

Even though this flash is so short you have created a very funny movie here. Looking forward to see some of your longer creations :)

Good review! I feel like you've done everything by the numbers--but you've hit all the major points on the head.

I certainly could improve the lip syncing quality done for the boy for such a short animation-there were certainly a lot of shortcuts made during the process of making this short, and this one was especially sloppy. You've certainly helped me fine pick problems in the animation that I hadn't noticed. In the future, you could better your reviews by offering specific examples on what the author can do to improve some of the errors that you've pointed out.

You were also very supportive and wrote very clearly which is great for me when I'm trying to read English at midnight. Ha! >_<

This is a very nice review. By the way, if you have the time, I'd love to know what you think of my older animation, Don't Trip. If you could add examples of how I could improve that animation, it would help me greatly as I'm currently animating the sequel.

The drawings and animations you had were quite good. I also liked the plot. it was twisted and weird, but very interesting at the same time.
But I am not happy with the end, it just was too abrupt. Maybe some solution (how did they get there? Where were they?) would have helped here.

The music was well chosen and it underlined the mysterious theme of this flash. I also think that the simple backgrounds fit very well in this flash. It too underlined the weirdness of this flash - and also the hopeless situation that those clocks are in.

The lack of voices really hurt this flash. I think it would have been much better if you had added some voice acting or created voices with speakonia.
This way it would have been easier to follow the plot, as the text was gone too fast sometimes, so that I couldn't read everything.

This was quite a good flash movie in my opinion. The graphics and the animations were quite well, even though you could have done a better job with the lip syncing.
The voice acting was great, except for a few cracks and rustles there and that guy with the low quality mic at the end (I don't get why you've done that...).

I liked the "tetris" part best, that was really funny. The worst part was the 40 seconds long song. I really think it would've been better if you had cut that song a bit.
