Blain-The-Pain's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[no tweens]

So.

If you want good scores, here's a few pointers.

A) Don't say what number flash it is. It sounds like you're trying to make excuses, so people go into watching already expecting something pretty bad.
B) Don't call it a test. If it's really a test or practice, you shouldn't really be submitting it.

There were absolutely no colors and the FBF wasn't pretty. Your only characters consisted of sticks, some of the most lazy characters ever (besides sprites). It's a big jump to go from sticks to full characters (I was a stick addict at one time, too), but it's worth it if you succeed.

Having said that, you did great with the camera pan, and the FBF wasn't too bad. For your second movie, you could have done a lot worse. Just try to clean up your lines (use onion skinning if you're not already), try to add music, try to add sounds, try to add color (not mandatory, but recommended), and you could have some cool stuff. RIght now it's just some black squiggles that somewhat resemble something dancing around in a blank white canvas.

So yeah. Not good, but with some practice you could get good. Just keep using FBF and keep up the good work with the changing camera angles and camera panning.

Karttibone responds:

Cool. Thank you.

[Somnium:]

It's alright.

You're a great artist, and I love all the cool effects you used, but you really didn't do that much animating. You animated that squid-like character, I'll give you that, but almost everything else was really just tweened across the screen, and the things being tweened weren't even MCs with FBF in them. It's good, but you're better than this, and it's really just bland and not very impressive animation-wise. Tweens are useful and time-saving, but they're overused here.

On the other hand, to reiterate, nice drawings :)

Rutger responds:

Ha thanks man.

Yeahhh, I don't really have a lot of time these days :C

[The CTSG Collab!]

SO MUCH ANIME!

But because I liked all the non-anime parts (maybe 2 parts?) and all the music, 9/10.

Rig responds:

More than two - like, 8 parts.
