[Battle for the Portal Pt2]

Yesss!

Sooo much better than the first! I expect the third to blow my socks off. :D

[Battle for the Portal Pt1]

This is very, very good, but it doesn't merit a 10

Joe Zombie was really dissapointing... and the "battle" was like those crappy Mario movies where they just tween his sprite into other sprites, except it was in 3d. Like with the Console Wars 3D trailer, this has a simple gimmick which people are taking to be excellant Flash(or in this case, excellant whatever renderer you were using). Personally, I think it was good, but it really didn't look all that impressive when you consider that the 3D was rendered for you(it's not like you had to draw the 3d look yourself), and your models aren't anything very special... I hate to be critical, but this shouldn't go anywhere past #30 on the Top 50.
Good work though.

[Legacy episode 1]

You keep complaining about people with bad comps.

I don't have a bad computer; in fact it's quite good. But this froze after the guy said "they must not leave that meeting alive". Now it looked decent up until then, even if it sounded pretty bad(voice acting=crapola!), but I find myself wondering how good the fight scene wood have been even if I could see it. Which I can't.

The reason I'm wondering is because, while you spent lots of time on the graphics, you didn't animate them well enough. You need to use Flash's onion-skin ability and draw a new picture every frame, not just add on to the current drawing... the leaves blowing by at the beginning looked like shit.

All in all, for your first Flash this is awesome-- just fix that bug and animate EVERY FRAME. God knows you have talent, man-- I admire an animator who doesn't just tween everything. I HATE crappy tweened movies.

[Barge of a 1000 Bullets]

A little math...

Me & my 5.08 vote power give you 5. 5*5=25. So I just voted 25 on your movie! :D Good job, make a sequel!

[Mario VS everyone!]

What the hell is wrong with you people?

I've seen almost this exact same movie so many times I've lost count... Mario with Matrix music, tween Mario's sprite into enemies. Like 10 seconds long. How the fuck is this in the blue?! Every single other time people submit this shit it gets blammed! WHY HAS EVERYONE GIVEN THIS ONE GOOD MARKS?! I'm blamming this peice of shit. Learn to animate.

[Battle f/t Portal Preview]

Good stuff, but...

Excellant work, BUT!!
You are relying too much on the cool factor of Swift3d. With Strawberry it looks great, but your Joe Zombie looked like crap. Sorry, but you need to learn to combine both Swift3d and regular Flash frame-by-frame animation, or your movie will be no more than another Terminator 3-- a crappy Hollywood effects showcase. You have promise, man-- don't waste it thinking that a cool program is the basis for good animation.

SecretAgentBob responds:

Hmm... actually I've never used Swift3D. Everything was modeled and rendered outside of flash, and then the rendered versions were imported in (thus the large file size). I used Carrara Studio for the modeling, and most of the special effects were achieved through actual video compositing with Final Cut Pro.

And Joe Zombie was frame-by-frame hand animation, which is why it doesen't look nearly as smooth as Strawberry clock.

Anyway, thanks for the review!

[Murray the Monkey ep. 1]

Hee hee hee... he's still level 1.

What I like about Luis(aside from kick-ass movies) is that he's still level 1. That means he doesn't even vote on NG movies, he just makes them! I personally think that's pretty classy, even if he's probably just too damn lazy. :)
Nice music selection, too! :) GOOD JOB!

Luis responds:

aahh never knew the perks of being lazy.. :) but thank you, im glad you enjoyed the flick.

[The Void II]

Blueclock, where are you?!

I hope you're working on Void III, Blueclock, because it looks to me like you have dissapeared from Newgrounds! At least make Void 3 before you leave...

Blue-Clock responds:

I never left...

[-True North-]

Lol. Clock movies are touchy stuff to make.

I laughed at how you tried your best to include both Clocks and Anti-Clocks in the fun... Your movie was awesome, but there's one problem: THE ENDING! And it's not even how you killed of all the Clocks, it's that you just flashed forward to a grave. You should have had a huge fight scene, or SOMETHING, 'cause that was a real anti-climax.
Good job on teh whole tho.

[Poring Hunt]

what the hell did it mean?!

AGH! Im so confused. But whatever, the graphics were cool and the animation of said graphics was thorough, instead of just tweening the picture across the screen. Kick ass!
