YAYS!
Yet anouther awsome little speed animation from spikeVallentine, i gotta tell ya man i cant get enough of this stuff! Your characters have so much depth its just plain awsome on a stick!
Keep rolling these out, even if you end up making a whole movie outta these i love how these flow and i never want to see Kiki stop appearing in your flashes.
And once agian youare in my favorates for a reason. ^_^
wow
This is some great stuff! I saw one of your other movies before and thought it was cute and this one is very cool, i love the characters, especially kiki, and i love how free flowing this series feels. As you said its not meant to be of the best quality therefore there is no point in going into detail about the artwork and animation and all that but i will tell you that i personally think these characters look and feel VERY genuine and polished... admittingly this is alot better than i could personally do even if i put ALOT of effort into it mainly becuase i cannot draw worth 0.00001% my weight in dryer lint.
I want more, much more... feed me more of these.. hopefully without feeding me shoe and worms though ok? ^_^
lolz!
Alright let me start off by saying this is in my personal opinion your best work so far, i can see that you are making strides in developing yourself into a great flash artist.
Animation: Was pretty dang smooth, didn't see much in the actual movment that looked odd or bothered me.
Sound: was very cool, even though chainsaw was in a whisper most of the time with background music going on too you managed to still make him pretty easy to hear and understand. And none of your voiceovers where annoying! YAYS!
Artwork: is making great strides. I cant really go into your art style becuase you have your own sence of style that just seems to fit your style of animations. the only thing i can really say is that the characters still look a little odd, like their faces are crooked or something, Its not a big deal but i would personally suggest that you study a little anatomy for drawings sake, like how big the head is compaired to the body, how long arms are supossed to be ect. however if making the characters look a little wonky is part of the style to make it look differant then just say so in the response and i'll shut up. i just think it'll make your characters look more beleavable and lifelike, which will make veiwers like them better.
Storyline: "The key is now gently resting agianst my genitals, all you have to do is reach into my pants and get them." ........ "I CAN'T DO IT!!!" lolz Congratulaions on making a storyline that i cannot find i hole in... cuz i'm good at finding holes in storylines.
Overall: like i said this is the best flash that you have done to date. You are getting much better at this and i think if you continue to have the dedication that you have then you will end up on the front page!
awsome dude
Ok let me start by saying i took the liberty after the last one came out to go ahead and watch all the previous episodes so when i saw this on front page i knew EXACTLY what was going on. And let me continue by saying this: this animation and series is awsome beyond awsomeness and i feel that you are really devealoping as a flash artist and story teller. The characters are spot on the sound was perfect and the visuals where breathtaking.
You've earned a 10 and a spot on my faverate authors list which after visiting newgrounds for years thus far only has two other authers on it so its a very high honor indeed my friend. I only add in my personall opinion the best of the best to my faverates list so be sure that you will hear from me agian.
alright lets get started.
Animation: Semmed to be rather clunky and jerky even with it not having alot of action.
Sound: not too bad but it needs a little work on the voice acting. everyone talking sounded kinda monotoned and the parts where people was supossed to be yelling sounded like you was trying to sound like you was yelling but was trying to be quiet so that you didn't wake someone up or something. Also it wasn't too bad but the syncing was a little off, i know that the syncing is differant inside the flash program and the file that you submitted but there is a way to fix it so it will help you alot if you found out how.
Artwork: don't take this the wrong way as i know there are ALOT worse looking things out there and i will give you credit for that but it looks like these where drawn by a 7 year old. I can tell you was trying to make it look decent and keep the style all the way through which is good but there are some very simple changes you could do to make it look neater without making it any harder to animate.
Storyline: has potential, but needs more humor and i like that you added your own characters to the mix but if your going to kill link, who is by far one of the most recognized and respected heros in video game history, make him die with honor. also the storyline seemed to just drag along and not have alot of action, for just the ghoma fight the tree dieing and a little walking through kokari village it sure took a looooonnng time. One last thing, and this is just a personal question from me, what is the deal with the hose that cody keeps smacking people with? and why do the other characters act as though it is the ultimate weopon? and if he keeps hitting them with the stupid thing and he really does have that sort of attitude, why do the other characters continue to follow him? he's not much of a leader and if i was there i would dart off on my own path or confront him and change things... the others just seem to be too passive in my personal taste.
Overall: I like the potential that this has, and with a little work i think it could be something worthwhile however i'm afraid that i must rate this for what it is right now.
um um um um um um..... pancakes?
randomness abound in this twisted little.... awww screw my feeble attempts at trying to make myself sound like a visionary, he's eating a pidgeon! WOOHOOO!! whats next? a frog? a hampster? It was smooth and well drawn but come on man!
What kinda crack was you on??
i dont do drugs and each year over one thou...... awww screw my feeble attempts at trying to make myself sound like an adult. ahhahah thanks for the comment anyway
wow ok...
As some people may know by now i like to do reveiws in a systematic way so my review will actually be long and detailed, so lets get started.. (ehem)
The t itle caught my attention from the get-go, i recognized names of characters.
I noticed alot of jerky motion involved in this submission, it was as though sometimes the sprites where lagging in an MMORPG and appearing in random places... some people may discredit you for using motion tweens but they are a blessing. you may want to try them.
Another thing you should try is moving the camera around so we can see the sprites up close and take the time to get good quality sprites for this, alot of people don't like sprite animation but i feel it is an opinion on their part rather than someone being lazy. Watch some of Alvin-Earthworm's stuff and you will see what i'm talking about.
I didn't hear alot of sound in the submission which is something that can make or break an entire animation. even a little background music can take something dull and boring and give it the kind of depth that will keep them comming again and again.
As for story, you gotta think of something either completely random and funny, or deeply involving and cool... two guys bumping into each other by coincedence and then desiding they was going to beat the crap outta each other for no real reason is uncreative, taking those same two guys and placing them in a situation where it is absolutly important that they be the ones to advance in the story and the other one fail is what gives characters depth.
You have some things to work on, and i know that noone is perfect. take the time to analize some of the other flashes on this site and take some notes. with a little creativity and a willingness to make your submissions shine i beleave anyone can make something that will get 10's
Thank you finally a little credit the only reason it was short is becauze i was bein lazy but ty ill make a better 1
now just take a deep breath and reelaaxx.. ahhhh..
Nicely done.. its not often that i see something simply designed to make you think about something, i like those.. in fact i like those alot. I used to do things like that alot myself in high school, give friends printouts of things they read or look at and force them into using those tired and unused portions of their brains.
I'll keep my out for your other work, and keep up this sort of style of flash.
thanks! i will.
not bad
Ok, ive got a few gripes so bare with me...
I felt that the scabbards (the things that hang on your belt that you slide your sword into while not in use) that mario and the toads wore were way too big for them and their swords.. you cant even see the characters, and if its 3X the size of your sword its gonna fall out and possibly stab the person walking with it. And call me a fanboy but doesn't nario use a hammer? dont get me wrong, i like swords, but if i was to do a flash animation with king dedede or something i wouldn't give him a really skinny sword, id give him his big ass mallet and watch him knock people across the battlefield! Also the scene with the lakatu and the camera, while having some funny dialog felt slow and the voice (which sounded like it came from a shittalker program) was ... well... eh...
all my complaints aside it was imaginative and it was a cool idea, i know noone is perfect and some of the artstyle needs a little work but that wont keep ya from getting a decent score from me.
Heh... I thought the hammer was over used and I never saw a Mario movie with medieval weapons and thought it was a good idea. The Lakitu used Microsoft sam because I thought it would mix things up a tiny bit.
holy freekn crap dude
That was top notch stuff there, i love how the guys move and the sounds involved when they clash together. and the very thought of being able to control the way it flows is absolutly brilliant on a rediculous scale.
I am greatly anticipating the next one.
