Migel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninten and the Starman v2]

Ohno...u rushed the ending!!

Yeh it started out nice. Already the quality of the first animation made me starting to look at the 5 on left side of the screen. Problem was though that the ending animation and drawnings started to get incoherent.

[Hero of War]

Would been cool if it was less static

The movie is pretty nice exspecially the graphics of the background created a lot of atmoshpere. It would been better if there slight combat ambience sounds in background though 2 give it a army feel.

Also while there was a nice background the entire time there was nothing happening in the front. The front was quite static. Which for militairy type of movie is quite odd because its about cover and concealment.
Also Im bit suprised why other figures entered the building.

So it definantly has a lot of goodpoints but the static frontground and movement of the characters made it all look very static.

[Meepbot Battle!]

Hum...potential.

Well lets be honest the effects sofar and stuff dont seem that good but on the hand. It seems that you are overall pretty young. Well you should for be calling something meepbots ;) , im mean just for watching a movie like meepbots I have to watch some sparta to get my testeron back.

Anyway saw your first movie on ng 2. That was better..... it had some frame by frame stuff while this was mostly tweened. Also you should trie to shine up your characters ;) there are many tutorials for flash which allow you to make shinier characters.

[Asaroki 04- Closer]

Great but..

Since it bit early in the morning and im working I was switching between the movie and my work. And it didnt seem to loose any of the story line. Im not saying its bad thing I dont even know what it means if the story didnt seem to need animation in order for me keep following. It either means story is that well interpretted by hearing voices alone or that the animation wasnt needed in the first place because of lack in action . There were only few interesting scenes ( with the guy wanting to touch the picture and breaking the glass ) in which the flashmovie underbuild the story.

One the things that improved during the movie ( thank god ;) ) was face moving. At first the faces only moved limited like you see in most flashes and then came some interesting facial tweening action but was then a bit overdone for couple of minutes. I mean when im tired I also look tired and move dazed with my head but not constantly :D
Later this seemed to be solved as during conversations, still better than in most other comparable movies, hopefully because you figured out that yourself ( and not lazyness :O )

Anyway the series caught my eyes I will watch the whole thing now ;)....at work >_>

[H.E.L.L]

Brilliant ending

At first I was a bit dissapointed it seemed interesting as the style etc was nice and cold. Then this blue guy came and the atmoshpere changed from Doom to so crazy series. Then the childish type of humor came with jokes like asking for a mac and getting macdonalds and it all ended in a very well drawn ending that totally took me by suprise :D

[Brawl Funnies [Dick 1]]

Hillarious !!!!

First of I want to say that despite lack of animation to proof of point I like the originallity in most drawings and the cool movies from rtil in between which actually had some the best graphics and animations i have ever seen.
( And jeez the atmoshpere in that clip was just amazing, downloaded the song just get reminded to that sweetness )

And lenko was in it...but wheres new rocket crotch...or did i miss it?

[Fatherly Bonds]

Epic

Epic graphic style with over tuned mussles and more than decent animations to ng standards. Epic sound effects and epic choice of music and epic reference to ng characters

[Pico 09]

Holy shit man :)

This was so bad that I seriously dont want to know how your youth was omg :D
I mean seriously you trie to come up with something for pico day and this is it?
This is what you think about when a flashmovie for pico day.

Anyway first one I saw of Pico Day 2009 ( always start watching them bit later :) )
Hella good start :D

[Resident Evil Pwanchi Pt1]

It started out a bit slow but got way better.

At first it was just being silly but as the story progresses it actually started to get interesting. Mostly because it wasnt following the original story line anymore but also the jokes became less forced ( more room for plot ). In those moments you even managed to create a resident evil feeling.
But this could also be because I played resident evil 5 and well from that point on even playing "hello kitty adventure" with resident evil sound effects would give me more of a resident evil feeling.

Graphics were ok for the style you were going for. Simple and effective while still being able to draw some stuff quite well actually.
Sound was ok, voice acting was good. But there was a bit of desyncronisation in the end. I know 2 ways that might fix this in future, well at least for my flashmaker version.
1) Make a layer that plays streaming sound the entire time but on such low volume that it cant be heard. (only works if you made the movie 1 large line instead of using several scenes, ussually the gaps between the sound cause the desync between sound and graphics. )
2) When switching scenes use simple scripting to pause the movie manually
and then skip the movie a frame before starting to play again.

[Siblings Untitled 01]

Was it worth it?

Let me answer that question with another question.
Is it worth to see someone that has been annoying the f*** out of you with constant yelling finally getting smashed by a chair in the last scene?

Sweet retribution.
