KuyaSeth's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FBF - The shakes]

@ Elephantom

While I can certainly see how the entire body moving would make the entirety of the animation a little more...unified, I suppose, I think the idea was that the average of people who try to do that with an entire animation tend to warp the final product so much that even though everything was FBF'd, it looks like a melting pile of solid, condensed poop. Normally, an FBF animation would have the entire body doing something anyways, correct? Something along the lines of the "++" series, i.e. Rush, that town thing...I forgot the guy's name, but he is a damn good FBF'er.

As for the actual tutorial, It's very nice. The music, while not applying to anything specifically, was nice to just listen to, and that was enough to make me watch it over and over again. Not just that, but the actual tutorial was nice and simple as well, not taking too many complicated explanations, with a fairly "simple" example. I wish you could've added a button however, that would show each picture, frame by frame every time it was pushed, just so we could get an idea of your own timing. The Beedril (If that's it's name, I lost track of Pokemon for a while lolz) moved quite erratically, as is it's nature, and I would've liked to have been able to freeze it at certain junctions to see exactly what I'm seeing.

Good job though, and I certainly liked your work in the anime collab.

Astropuff responds:

You're right, animating the entire body is just more interesting to look at then a single moving object. I just thought it would be easier to explain the problem from a simple point of view, then it would be obvious enough of how to apply it to the rest of the body. I think animation is something you learn from drawing/art and just mere practice. Like vinnie++, he probably practices all the time. If you browse his site you can see some crazy gif shit he has created. I really suggest you find those gifs--

[- War is Hell -]

Don't count, eh.

ALSO to the reviewer before me, before...the other guy. You know who I'm talking about.

Anyways. You in my review=guy before, before me. Not you.

If you had been a WWII Vet or something, I could understand your spite. But you're not. You're 13. You've no idea what it means to "be in a war". Not only that, your pitiful excuse for a semi-rant contradicts itself. First you say all we were was a meddling disturbance in WWI. Then you go off and say that your the ones who suffered? Oh, well I'm fucking sorry, would it have been better we left you alone? It's laughable that you can say we have no idea what it is to be in a war, when the last war you can only remember in textbooks was 40 years before you were fucking born. Get over yourself.

as for the flash itself, it'd be nice if we knew who was invading and who was defending. Naturally, I would believe that the Americans were green, and whoever else was blue. But the Green guys were the ones landing, and the blue were defending on home turf. A little confusing is all.

It was nice that you tied in the credits with the nuke scene, but the "thank you for watching" kind of lowered the...meaning.

The-Protagonist responds:

Thank you for watching.

[a present??]

well i cant really...vote on your movie right now,

But if i could, i would totally give it a four or five. Considering this isn't a serious animation, rather something done for a friend, it's well done. Cute too, with randomon =p...

if you had finished it, and we had known if he was able to get her present, that would've been nice too.

wiilofgod responds:

yeahhh is a bit short...ill take my time for the next animation!!

[Notanotherilium]

blah.

Im not a fan of lock legion or clock crew, though i still liked lilium. I just hate that people label Amai-kun as a emo or goth just because he made a dark flash. Tim Burton isnt emo but he made a nightmare before christmas and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Does this mean that anyone who likes scary movies is emo because they like being scared and shit?

ClockLock responds:

Bah, I know that, my good man. It's called a joke. =D By the way, I can't to see Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Hooah.

[Great Weed Drought of '03]

the smell?

smells like a front pager lolz. I would've thought that happened to you if u hadn't pointed out that its NOT. based on ur replies to other reviews, putting you and the character together would've been odd =p.

awesome work.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

haha no this has definitely not happened to me - the main character's looks are based on a friend of mine but this friend acts nothing like the character - thanks for the nice feedback

[Bushido"WayoftheWarrior"]

@ tolet.

i think the guy was going more for alliteration, with the words that begin with the same leter and all.

lol @ the movie opening, all theater like. kudos for that. the narrator voice was trippy, like i was listening to it through a funnel or something...not to say thats a bad thing.

short though =/...

TumbleWeedPro responds:

Glad you liked it, I tried my best, but it wasn't good enough. I'm gonna fix alot of the kinks. Please keep a look out for the finished version. Thanks for the review-TumbleWeedPro

[Lilium]

Whoa.

wow...those drawings are amazing. That's the part that really captivated me.

"Some (most) of you wants me to make more of the life of Lilium... Hrm... I am tempted, but I cant say yes... Or no. We'll see. ^^;"

I dont really think you should. A quick presentation of this character would keep the impact of lilium's persona. Making more of the same character would make lilum lose her gothic effect.

as for the slide show like appearance, that's also fine. Showing her kill her parents and whatnot would kind of...degrade the overall presentation. Some things are better left to the imagination, after all.

fantastic though, definitely going in my favorites.

Amai-kun responds:

Heh, that was exactly my thought. Doing more of her might ruin the picture people have of her. If I intend on bringing her up again, it would be on another experiment.

[Xiao Xiao: DerajN Edtion]

The matrix kick is too played out =/

I woulda given out a higher score if i hadn't seen the matrix kick. Every stick fight i see ever seems to have that now.

DerajN responds:

The only reason i did the matrix kick was becuase it was in the original Xiao Xiao No. 3. I was just trying to make it seem a little more like the original

[stick slaughter]

Symbolism.

Nicely done for a stick flash. Most of these normally suck. However, the scene when the two separate swords clash, you obviously went for some symbolism there. The good guy gets the white background, the bad guy gets the dark background. Though it seemed a little bit too obvious. Try having the bad guy come out from the shadows, and the sun or something being behind the good guy, this way the two contrasting backgrounds have a purpose for being, rather than just a straight up fade.

stefan-mcconnell responds:

i would have done that but i saw this other movie where the bad gguy came out of shadows so i didnt do that

[Ragnarok: Excision]

Where do you get the sprites?

I've been trying to make an RO sprite movie too...but i cant find any of those damned sprites. where did you find yours?

AlienHeadX responds:

You can find them at digital.nitro7.com. A few I found on the BBS.
