Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A piece of puke]

\m/

That really WAS random!

I liked your way of animating this. Everything was really smooth and the movement of the characters were good, too.

Although the graphics were quite simple, I still liked them, as you draw everything in a very nice way.

Why thank you for your kind words :)

[Pot Head Bob and a gennie]

\m/

You should add a prealoader, I had to pause the movie and let it finish loading to be able to view it without any interrupts.

The graphics are decent, but there's still room for improvement. Try to draw your characters without the use of simple geometric forms. Circles for heads and rectangles for legs may work in South Park, but here they appear out of place.
I liked how you made the genie transparent. That worked out very well.

The voice acting was ok, even though the should be much louder then they are now. What I liked here was the fact that you had those low TV noises in there, that really added a lot to the flash.

What bothered me the most with this flash is, that it always takes quite some time for the scene changes. For example, when the genie says: "Pass the bong" it takes the second character a few seconds to react. Ok, he's stoned and in real life he would take serveral MINUTES to react at all ;), but here it seems pretty boring as just nothing happens on the screen for a few seconds before every scene change.

[The Fairy Future Mother]

\m/

Everything here looks like a "beta version" to me, but don't worry, I'll try to explain:

First thing I noticed were the mouthes. While the lip syncing is done very good the mouthes or rather the lips looked too big. Also, the teeth were visible a tad bit to often for my taste. But I can imagine that it is really hard to animate mouthes in a way that it still looks realistic.

Second thing I noticed were the movements of the characters. Even though they look good on first glance they seem to be too slow. When the boy opened the window it took him quite some time to open it and to close it again. In "real life" this would happen much quicker than here.

Ok, now to the good things:

I liked the flash as a whole. The drawings are very clean and you also took the time to add some very nice details, like the mouse running through the appartement in that "vision of the horrible future" and the backgrounds looked quite nice, too.

The best point in this flash is the very good voice acting. The grandma, the boy and the fairy all had their own characteristic voice and all were very easy to understand.

The story of this flash is funny and somehow a little twisted. "Being a homeless looks like great fun!" No wonder that the fairy gave up on that boy :D

Thanks for the review, this was another very helpful one. I'm sure my friends will love the fact that you liked the voice acting the best, although it's a bit depressing for me as an artist. I'll work on the pacing of the movie, and I plan on setting my flashes at a higher frame rate too, hopefully that'll help.

[CandyHolics]

\m/

Wow, great flash! The story is very interesting and original. I am glad that the 'CandyHolics' did complete their objective, even though they beat up that kid in the ghost costume ^^.

The menu was very good. It's always nice to have a scene selection, this way it's easier to watch the favorite parts again. I also liked that you had your own mouse pointer. Most flash artist don't make use of that possibility; you did. It's not a big deal, but even the smallest things can help to let your movie stand out from the rest of the portal.

The graphics are amazing, you put a lot of details in the characters and also in the backgrounds. I also liked that you used many well known characters in your flash. Cameos are always a nice thing ^^.

Sadly, the quality of the sound wasn't that great. Sometimes the voices were hard to understand. At least you had subtitles so that one can still follow the story without problems.

I really appreciate the review. And to comment on my custom cursor even though I created one, it just wasn't visual pleasing which was a downside to it.

Thanks.
