"Pretty Good."

submission: Life in the Portal: Clock

date: August 16, 2009

Oh Em Gee. Clock Day.

Anyway. This movie was actually up to a high standard on the holiest of days here at Newgrounds. Your animation was the absolute smoothest I have ever seen on Newgrounds. Every movement seemed so fluent. Excluding the one scene in the movie revolving around a few circles and an egg.

That was actually the worst part of the movie. I understand you wanted to give the spam view across and everything, But you dragged that joke out a bit too long. But it was funny for a little bit, But you pushed your luck.

Overall though, Good stuff. Fairly un-clock related for a daily winner today.

"Untold Origins."

submission: Zelda: UO Epis:7

date: August 16, 2009

Another great production overall.

Its safe to say your movies have basically the best story lines on Newgrounds. Your animation has grown and gotten so much better over your series. Although in the beginning it was still basically perfect, Its gone up from then too. The thing that surprises me with this animation is that it hasn't got a series page yet.

I mean its easily one of the most popular, and best animated series on the website. Anyway, The fact your movies are getting larger and longer is also a huge plus. As much as I like the series, Its better to have a long episode than a load of short ones.

If I'm going to find any flaws, There really minor. I think your biggest flaw would be along the lines of sketchy drawings. Such as when they're looking at Links hand, His hand looks out of proportion and its these little things that stand out.

Secondly, Would be your subtitles. I can't quite put my finger on it, But there seems to be something about them that doesn't look and feel right. As much as I like your color codes and so on. Just little improvements on this would be enough for me to find this even better - If possible.

- Instead of color codes. Draw your own version of there face & head and put it next to the subtitles when they're talking. Similar to how certain other games and movies have done it. I think its a more unique and graphically positive way to do your subtitles.

- About the 'box' the titles show up in. Instead of what, have your movie look like its 'Widescreen'. So there's a thin black strip at the top and bottom of the window. And just slip the titles in there. That way it doesn't give the illusion of taking up the movies space.

Don't feel obligated. Still brilliant.

"20 Minute Epic."

submission: Thwomps: The Movie

date: August 14, 2009

I think a long movie, Deserves a long review.

And I can somewhat deliver on that. Anyway, For the first time I think I'd ever say this to an artist, Stick to sprites man. Your not producing the mainstream view of sprites. Which is basically a few fight scenes shot from one angle with no audio or voices whatsoever.

But then you waltz in, And bring the standard of quality sprites movies up about 10 notches. I mean, Granted, This was a sprite movie, But you still did a lot of animating on your own and did some things that can't just be cut from a sprite sheet and pasted. Such as the mop throw.

The movie contained the best features.. Ever.
- Strong voice and audio choice.
- Amazing storyline and length.
- Great animation and graphics.
- Hilarious humor and fight scenes.

The end was a little on the strange side, But made me laugh. Man, You really delivered on this movie, And I'm sure you can watch this and be really proud of what you pulled off. This is quite literally s trand setting movie in Newgrounds. Your a champ.

Thwomps! I want an encore.

"Pretty Good."

submission: Doodle: Shoo Fly

date: August 13, 2009

As your first movie though, It had flaws.

Your biggest flaw was definitely having some choppy animation at some points. Also, I think putting some color, would have been good. Even if it was simply adding an extra shade of black or something on occasion. I know its a doodle though.

Also some parts looked downright silly. Such as when the arms were flailing when the kids were running down the road away from the flies. That part could have been touched up quite a bit too. It wasn't bad, But the arms were noticeable.

Lastly, The small of problems, Was the music. I found that it really didn't fit the song much at all, And if you browsed the Audio Portal for a while you would have had much better music, To go with your animations entire style.

Solid effort though.

Score: 10

"Clocklings."

submission: Lord of the Clocks pt. 1a

date: August 13, 2009

That was brilliant StrangeClock :)

I've seen all your work, Because your my favorite Clock artist of them all, And this (Along with Part 2) are your best works in my opinion. I can't really give you any props on the story, Although the way you made it your version was done great.

I think the thing that made this movie, Was the audio. Whoever narrated that entire piece for you deserves so much credit! But it's nothing without your masterful animating alongside.

Every single detail was done to perfection on this movie. This is definitely a credit to the Clock Crew, and what they stand for in this current day and age. Your one of the people who have changed the views of those who thought you were a bunch of spammers. You deserve something for that.

You should use MochiAds. You'd make millions with these animations!

You are Lord Of The Clocks <3

"Another Great Clip."

submission: TF: Revenge of the Lolin'

date: August 13, 2009

Some of your stuff is the best.

'Please forget, For the love of god forget'. Haha, That reminded me so much of Egoraptors works, And yours definitely met his standard. Heck, at times you may have passed him. But that was full of laughs. And if that was done quick, I can't wait to see your hard worked pieces.

That was one of the funniest, most quotable movies I have ever seen on Newgrounds. I want to just quote everything that I heard in the movie, But then I'd just come out looking like a complete dick.

Anyways, That was flawless. Don't dare change a thing :)

Score: 10

"'Maybe'."

submission: Facebook Reality

date: August 13, 2009

I'll calculate your results - You are gay.

I'm not entirely sure whether you meant for the mouths to 'lag' a bit when speaking. But they tended to be a bit choppy. I have the newest player, and nothing was open or downloading, So I don't see how it was me? But even if it was in the movie itself, The lagging added to the humor really.

Anyway, for something with next to no animation, and nothing too graphic of flashy in the movie itself, That was absolutely perfect. Just the immature jokes and the facials at times. especially with the drink scene.

One of The funniest movies on Newgrounds.

A 10, and a 5. I don't give many.

Score: 8

"I Hate That."

submission: -TailRider-

date: August 13, 2009

But I love this on the other hand ;D

I don't think this is your best short story, But even your worst animations would be dominant over the best of a lot of other authors on Newgrounds. The animation was pretty smooth and well done. Especially the faded view out the back window.

Although the graphics wasn't your best work, But I guess this is a 2007 submission, And its currently 2009. So therefore with the time done, and the fact you've improved by miles, Good stuff.

Not your best work yet, But still worth watching, tenfold.

Hit the nail again.

Score: 9

"I Want A Cool Son."

submission: Father-Son Chat

date: August 13, 2009

Your so lame ;D

Anyway, Good flash man. The pieces in real time were absolutely perfectly drawn and animated (When they were actually animated) and that aspect was perfect. As for the sons flashbacks, That way beyond perfect.

The face you did a majority of this movie in real time and it looked flashy, smooth and perfect, When you went back in time with the half-assed drawings, That was perfect. I definitely got a whole lot of laughs from that aspect of the movie. So having a mix proved you weren't just having crap drawings, But you did it for the comedy effect, Good work.

If I could find any flaw at all in this movie, It would be the voice acting. It was clear and pretty good, But seemed really forced especially with the father. Its far from a big deal, But its likely the biggest flaw of the movie.

Overall - Great stuff.

Score: 7

"Ohhh."

submission: Convict Vs Pico

date: August 10, 2009

I always suspected his groin was his weakness.

The movie was pretty good. I think you could have made it a fair bit longer, and put a little more attention to detail into a lot of places. I found this a lot with parts like when Convict was running out of prison and you focused only on his feet running, And really it looked nothing like that.

I think just adding a little more attention to detail at some points would have made the movie a whole lot better. You could have done minor things such as having 'Newgrounds Prison' have the 'typed' effect when it came on screen, Like in most action packed movies when skipping to a location.

Also for extra length, and humor, You could have gone through the jail while searching for Convict and ran into people such as the Kitty Krew and so on as a little side joke. And had tomfulp working him over with a blow up Bedn doll :)

Just little things.
