Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Speedtooning Cows 1]

\m/

Normally I don't like simple videos submitted here. But yours is an exception!
I really like the way and the style you draw those things. It looks very funny itself, even without that hilarious punchline!

Too bad that the sound quality is so low, but I just watched the video on your site again, where the quality is a lot better.
Also, some video controls (like a play/pause button, and such) would have been very nice.

But anyway, this is a great advertisment for your site. So, you've done a good job here, I guess :)

Hi Haggard. Thank you. I agree a pause button would be a great idea. I'll look into it. Time was a factor though, so I had to just slap it down and hope people would like it for it's content. On the whole the response has been very favourable. Which is very satifying for me, as that's what I try to do with my cartoons.

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.
