Ian-The-Archer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BLOBZ!!!]

I like the frame-by-frame.

It shows a lot of animation and work that was put into this. I disagree with the fact that we should put a stop to blobs and sticks as they are our key to animation. If we lost the key, we wouldn't have any inspiration to look to.

adam-p89 responds:

Hehe you make a good point, Ian. I've come to love sticks, but I wanted to have a message so that was what I chose for Blobz, also I didn't mean ll sticks were bad, just the really amateur ones. Thanks for watching!

[(2003)Leon and his Dog]

o snap

I looked at the writing on the news paper by going back 500 frames from the credit to look at it. I was desprate to see what it said. And oh yeah, that ruled. How did you do it? :D

...THE DOG CAN WRITE!

Knox responds:

yes it can..yes it can.. :)

[Drawing with Jack]

Um

Okay, that sucked. Sorry, but it was way too basic. You can't expect the artist to know how to draw the parts you were talking about. "Draw the eyes, then the that, and the this." But you told them no way to draw WHAT way(I.E.: Draw the eyes as ovals, then put round circles for pupils...ect). Also, you drew the eyes so far away, making it look weirdly-narrowed, and unrealistic(unanime like, too). Try harder next time, A LOT HARDER.

OutLandish responds:

I just want to say to you all thanks for the good reviews, I am not making these movies to show how "Great at animation" i am, please stop expecting this from me, My goal is to to try and teach people who can't draw, to draw better, I never said i am the best. Please let those who want to learn, learn. and those who don't like it, let it be.

[The Necromancer Episode 3]

Hmmm

Well, for one, the whole series is like a Samurai Jack rip off. You need to improve the animation, I mean, it's like watching card board dance. With some of the graphics, they look you got lazy and made goblins with big heads, a dancer with huge wrists and a small body, that teacher with a foot long index finger. A lot of the graphics were too stiff also. The coloring was really weird also, I saw like, the faces had huge blotchs of black for shading. It seems as though the music kept it good though(although, I hate the intro music. Keeping on the topic of audio, I thought the voice acting was one guy changing his accents, and too lazy to find a girl voice acter, making up a weird telepathy bit. Try harder in your next movie, and fix the voice acting a lot.

mmark-oldflash responds:

Well, I did do all the voices. Plus, I can't find any girls willing to do voice acting in my area. It's funny though how you listed all these errors in my movie and still gave an 8 for graphics. I will try harder it's just that I had to get some backstory out of the way.

[Ranma½ Interactive Dojo 5]

Haha

I don't get it. But hey, I think that woman's vioce was a man's voice in disguise. But it's hard to find woman voice actors. Good job with the drawing(could have been a little smoother) but hey, I enjoyed it.

Dekathos responds:

THANKS! It is hard to find them.

[I like burgers]

Hoho

Funnay! I like it, 5! I like burgers too! Just not from mcdonalds... mmm, burgerking all the way!

Heh

Hoohoo, that is good. I vote 5.
Please do more.
Oh wait, you just submitted something else!
*zip*

Blazen86 responds:

Thanks, Thats the full version of this movie. please review

[Operation: Chop Stick]

Heh

That was pretty damn good.
I would love to know if you do frame-by-frame or some 3-d art program. Frame-by-frame, right, right?

Anyway, some suggestions:

Smoothness - This really counts towards the final product, although your movie was smooth, but could have been smoother.

Longer - Having it long is always good, my normal movies are about 5000, give or take a hundred.

Music - Always have music change, like where sad scenes ARE ACTUALLY SAD. (I've seen sad scenes, but the hero just is like "Boohoo, Sammy why did you die" then moves on after saying that)

3-D - A little 3-D makes your movie less linear. Like, just adding little scenes where it rotates a little makes a big difference.

Cool Things - Things like where you hear a low vioce say "Level Up" and you see the hero gain something new, like a cool hair style, taller, different color, new acessory(armor, weapon).

Comedy - ALWAYS have comedy, like in Conter Stick, have them talk a little but not a lot, it drowns your story with bordem.

Quality - You seem to have it nailed, always have the same quality through out. I've seen movies where some guy just puts in random flame.gifs.

Magic - No, not like dbz. You can have like enemys die and have their soul come out of their body to fight for them. Or guns that shoot Ice, Lightning, Fire, ect. You know, that kind of stuff. Don't over do it by having them fly all around the place.

Most of all, if you can compare it to Xiao Xiao, then it's going to get a good score.

Good luck, hope that helped, or if your almost finished it probably was just for future reference.

Most of all, I'd like you to tell me how you did all that ^^.

CRAZY-King-JAY responds:

WOW now thats some nice input

[Dante vs Link (Part 2)]

This movie is great

Theese are the best episodes I've seen from anyone, even Kirby. You have truely out done yourself.
And yeah, I bet DeathProphet would much rather look at Gay Canadian Eskimo Porn then watch this great masterpiece. I bet he makes the BEST MOVIES EVER! Pshaw.
Yup, I see how it is to a "fan" of Devil May Cry.
Good work, hope to see a final episode.

D responds:

Thanks for enjoying the movies.
