ClockworkMan13's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A strange little tale]

Bare Minimum

I'm sorry but I can't give this a passing grade. If you're going to make a slideshow rather than animate something that's fine, but you'll have to have better drawn slides otherwise it's not enjoyable. I get the gist of the story, but half the time I can't tell what I'm seeing.
As for the play issue: there are some Youtube videos explaining how to make a "button symbol" and a short bit of code to type in the "actions" tab to get it running.

Senmetsu responds:

I had animation, it was slight, but it was there.

I found it enjoyable... I'm glad you get the gist of the story, that's something most other people never got for some reason. It's fairly simple: life goes on. People change, things grow and are unique in their sameness.

"button symbol", eh? Thanks! Now I know how to fix the fluidity with my flash.

[ClockCrew VS DuckDivision]

|:( "sigh"

This is his best work? So sad. . . . Such poor quality. The mouth of the duck doesn't even stop moving after it's dead. Unfortunately I have a feeling it's going to pass judgement anyway. Too many overly polite newgrounds members.

FullMoonClock responds:

The Duck was not dead, it was just in horrible pain. But it died at the end. Thanks (?) for the review.

[proper technology use]

O_O

The old man is like: "This page is too heavy for me. . . . Thanks, I have no further use for you. Now you may DIE."
Of course sooner or later he'll need someone to turn the next page.

Horsenwelles responds:

closer to the actual central idea behind it, just don't write it like a CDI joke.

i'm still not explaining any of the many underlying themes based on it.

[If I Talk To You...]

Nothing much

Sure that was a funny scene, but you didn't write it. So you shouldn't get credit for it. All there is to this animation was a mouth blinking on and off, and a little cheesy photoshop.

Darwin7 responds:

I did write it. In analyze this Robert De Niros character doesn't turn into Osama Bin Laden. This cartoon is obviously over your head

[Song Of Storms: Music Vid]

It's Ok, but you could have done more.

Good choice of music, but I was left wanting.
I would like to see more movement. This unfortunately felt more like a slideshow rather than animation, sorry.
I did like how Link's hat fluttered in the wind.
I would also like to say, this is one of my most favorite songs from Legend of Zelda.

Quazaar responds:

Thank you for the review! You are right it does need some more movement. I would like to make a second version with some rustling of the trees and maybe a few more scenes.

[Captain Scrumptious!]

This one really made me laugh.

I'm usually very critical on drawing detail, but I though the whole crayon look really fit well with the story. I thought it was funny how the hero destroyed more than he saved. The name "Dr. Distasteful" was a nice touch. If you see a need to improve the animation by all means do so--just make sure to keep the simple, hand-drawn artwork.

Nick-The-Holy-Potato responds:

Thanks!
