Xipp's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dad's at Work]

Very funny!

I really like your Dad movies. This was very good, however my favourite is still the first one.
Keep it up!

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

I loved it!

I really like your Blockhead series! I´ve learned alot from them and specially from this one, cause of the fantastic animations. You´ve improved alot since Blockhead Episode 1 and I think this is the best flash you´ve ever made! Are you going to make a Blockhead Episode 10? =)
Keep up the great work!

[Mario's Dr. Pepper]

Good

This was good and the graphics was pretty enjoyable but it wasn´t great. I´m not saying that you´re bad at sprite animating but there was alot of stuff you have to change/practice on.
Goods:
- Graphics was pretty enjoyable (Keep it that way but keep practicing cause it could still be much better)
- It was funny some few times (Just practice on making funny stuff, and write many ideas down. I once had a problem when I was making a sprite flash. I couldn´t find my own style. I kept making stuff that I didn´t like because it reminded me about other sprite flashs I had watched. But one day, I took a piece of paper and a pencil and started to think. I didn´t try to use anyone elses style but my own, and suddenly a great idea came to me. I wrote and wrote in 2-3 hours and finally I got a storyline that I liked. Short: Try to find ideas by forgetting all other flashs you have ever watched and use your own style)
- You´re pretty good at drawing Mario (However, keep practicing)

Bads:
- You didn´t make many or any sprites by youself (Start practicing. If you don´t got any sprite animating program you can just use Paint. Click CTRL + G at the same time and there will appear alot of squares that can help you draw. You can´t watch the squares if you don´t zoom in)
- Main Menu could be much better (Practice. It´s important to have a good Main Menu cause it makes the viewer interested in the rest of the flash. Some people do just blam flashs with bad Main Menus/beginings without watching the hole flash)

Keep it up!

[SML Bloopers II]

This will properly get though the portal..

But I gave you a blam point. Your flash wasn´t funny and you could have made the stuff look much better. Anyway don´t lose hope! =)
Goods:
- Some stuff was funny

Bads:
- The graphics didn´t look any good
- Most of the bloopers wasn´t funny at all (I know that it´s hard to make funny bloopers and I ended up quiting sprite bloopers/flashs and instead making fbf animations. My advice for you, is that I think you should quit sprite animation and start/continuing practicing fbf or/and motiontween)
- The text was very crappy (Practice on writin in flash or use normal text styles, like royal modern times)

Good luck! =)

[Pico Plays Double Dragon]

Impressing!

I´m very impressed. You said that you used two days on this? Pretty amazing. I didn´t make a Pico flash because I thought that I didn´t have much time to make it. In the middle of March. I´m just pretty impressed.. =P

Anyway.. Did you make the Pico and Uperkids sprites by yourself? I know that it isn´t imposible and stuff, but did you?

Dan-Dark responds:

yes, I did these myself, actually the original sprites are from Double Dragon 1, but I drawed Billy as Pico.
I'm impressed too. Edit sprites, make the animation, get sounds and music! woah! I had homeworks and works between hours! I don't know wtf how I did this.....but I hope you enjoyed it. :D see ya...

[.UnKnown.]

Great!

I really liked this one! The graphics was just great, and the storyline is very original!
Keep it up!

Stuga responds:

Thankies :)

[CVUSF]

Normally..

I doesn´t like these "clock flashs", but this one is just great! You (guys) got alot of talent, but don´t waste your time with clock flashs! You got some great skills!

Keep it up!

[NinjaBlock2; The turnback]

Listen..

I gave you a protection point because you got alot of potential. Just practice and you´ll get alot better. It isn´t easy to make great flashs like Animator VS. Animation and On Your Mark. You have to put effort into it.

The goods:
-You got a good style

The bads:
-The blood was pretty lame
-Everything happened so slow. Try to make it look like the ninja got a move every single second.
-The opponents didn´t move. They did just stand there. Make them fight and move around.
-I hated the background music. Use some better fight music from Newgrounds.
-The graphics wasn´t too good.

That´s all. Please don´t give up!

Holydrainer responds:

~Okay.. But why you say you have an good style and you have under your review style: 1?

[Random Comic - episode 18]

Not bad!

Your flash is pretty good!

The goods:
-Good graphic
-Good lip sync
-Pretty funny
-Reminds me a little about some family comedies like Everybody Loves Raymond.

The bads:
-Their look wasn´t original or kind a special. Try to experiment with the characters look. You got alot of skills, so don´t waste your time with circle heads and stuff like that. ;) (It´s ment as a compliment!)

That´s all.
Keep up the good work!

jonwash responds:

Hey thanks!
Never been compared to everybody loves raymond before :S
Circle heads are just a bit of a tradition but maybe we will go for something better sometime yeah...

[Abstain HP]

I´m sorry..

But I gave you a blam point.. You have to work harder on your submitions. You didn´t use many animations, but only motiontweens..
The goods:
-
The bads:
-No animations (Practice at fx. FbF or sprite animation. You can get some good sprites from theshyguykingdom an thespritersrecource. You can get sounds from mfgg.net)
-Only motiontweens (Try not to use motiontween so much)
-Pointless (Make a storyboard/storyline)
-Poor drawings (Practice. There´s some great art/animation tutorials here on NG)

Try to improve these things, and then submiting a flash again.
