Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Landscape]

\m/

It's a great picture. I like the sun the most. The lightening there is almost perfect.

There's some snow missing on top of the mountain in the background, though. :P

Oh, and that little of white on the left side of the picture should be removed, too. ^^

Happy (belated) Clock Day. ;)

Auz responds:

Thanks for your review Haggard. And thanks for your compliments about the sun, I thought that was the best part of the picture too. I also noticed that thin white line on the left side. Unfortunaley I can't edit it right now since I don't have flash anymore, so I'll just have to leave that as it is.

Happy belated clockday to you as well :p

It's a good flash movie with a funny song and some very good graphics.

Too bad that the music is slightly asynchron at times. But most of the time it seems to be all right.

Sometimes I felt a little bit reminded of Monthy Python. First off all because of the randomness of some parts, and second because of the scenes where one figure opened it's mouth and out came another figure, which opened it's mouth... etc. .

Monty Python! Cheers for the comparison! :D

[Frankenstein Trailer]

\m/

The graphics in this flash look very good. I especially liked the effects of the light here (for example the candle in the letter-scene, or the lights ni the scene with the monster and Elizabeth).

Sometimes the text went by too fast. I barley couldn't finish some of the texts in the flash, which I thought was a little bit annoying.
Also, the voices are a bit too quiet, they are nearly overpowered by the music. Also, you had a lot of static sounds in the sound files. You should try to either edit them out with programms like Audacity or try to keep away farther from the mic, to reduce the statics.

I'd like to see an actual Frankenstein movie made by you, without a deadline forcing you to rush things. I think it would be an awesome movie. :)

Rammer responds:

thanks! i'm not normally too great of an artist, but i actually spent quite a lot of time on that first scene there. that was when i was under the illusion that i had a lot of time left. the lights in the scene with the monster and Elizabeth are...eh. i don't like that scene too much, both artistically and materially.

the text went by very fast at times to keep the music synced with the flash. \: i could have done a better job with the pacing, but the quotes aren't too important. it was required to have at least 5 quotes in the trailer.

the static was due to me using a bad mic - my shitty logitech webcam. my future voice-acting will have better quality because i'll be using my Rock Band mic, which has a much higher quality. no static, bumps, or anything.

to be honest, i'm not that interested in doing a full Frankenstein movie :P maybe when i have more free time, motivation, and artistic skill.

thanks for the review (:

[The Last Hour: Chapter 3]

\m/

I can defiantly see an improvement here. The graphics are better than in the previous episodes, but they still are pretty sloppy. I know that drawing with the mouse is a pain in the ass, but Flash also offers a nice rubber tool. Be sure to make good use of that as it can be used to avoid that lines are drawn longer than needed.

I liked the new preloader better than the older one. The new one is much more present on the screen and the play button is visible at first glance.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 2]

\m/

It's longer than Chapter 1, which is good. It gives us more to look at and the story slowly starts to get interesting.

The music was a bit too loud, so that the voice acting was overpowered by it. That makes it very hard to understand what you where saying once the rolling text was over.
Either lower the volume level of the music or stop it completly (I prefer the latter).

The voice acting is pretty annoying here. First of all, the introduction text is read much too slow and it gets annoying pretty fast.
The voice of the astronaut is all right, but try to keep your mouth farther away from the mic, as we can sometimes hear some breathing sounds.
Also we can hear some noises that sounds like as if you put the mic down. Try to edit those noises out of the soundfile with programs like Audacity (it's free and it's good).

Jaiba responds:

Don't worry i have worked on my voice acting. and everything check out chapter 4, but especially chapter 5, it is an an award winning episode. in fact i am an award winning artist techincally.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 1]

\m/

Too bad this is so short. I hoped to see a bit more. It's more of a trailer than a full chapter.

The graphics are decent. A bit sloppy here and there; especially the stars look quite bad, as some of them a lines, instead of dots.

The animation is decent, too. It's mostly tweening, but you made good use of that.

I think the music doesn't really fit here. Something more "spacey" would have been better.

Jaiba responds:

this is the first chapter of the Last Hour series, you are in for a great ride if you continue watching the series. !!! Don't worry the other chapters will be twice as long as this! If you notice my newest chapters. the stars have been fixed in fact i think it looks beautiful. Go ahead and review the other chapters.

[Beneath the Sheets]

\m/

<instert youtube comment here> :P

So, now we got that out the way, on with the review.

It's a nice movie with a good script. I liked how you parodied various "ghost movies" here.

I think the ghost was very funny, especially when he fell down. I would like to see that in a movie that runs in the cinema, heh.

Also, the camera man/narrator was very good. He was good to understand (which is mandatory if you want to know what's going on ^^) and also his acting was pretty good.

Yeah, my friend is a great actor. A lot better then I am. I didn't have much to act though since I had a sheet over my face and my only lines were SON OF A BITCH and Boooooo. Thanks for the review.
