savlo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TheNrmdyMission Final Prv]

Good trailer, but....

I can only really fault your trailer on one point: why do you (and
so many others), like to package your stuff like its for sale:
the heavy-handed self-promotion, the use of feudalistic logos, the excessive self-important
`seriousness` present?, (the tarentino-strategy of winning prestige through self-righteous violence is also common, but not in this example).

In fact i saw a 0.103 scoring blammer a cuppla days back that was just some kids crappy `company logo`. Part of it was a stick figure being shot in the head and bleeding profusely.

I know I shoulda saved this for the forum, but so many messages go thru that each day that nothing is still visible on the main page 1 hour after you`ve typed it in.

9 for graphics, 1 for style

makament responds:

I can see your point. Id say this is done probably because flash is on sale in a way, if its done well due to the techniques you described above then it gets scored highly, which in turn brings in more people and publicity towards the flash and authour. Thanks for the 7 :)

[Welcome to Me]

3.4 Mb for that!?

Ok the graphics werent too bad.
Shame about the rest of it.

[Dog V.S Jesus - Part One]

Fantastic

How the hell (haha) did you get those smart 3D effects to run on
less than 2Ghz?
3D effects WERE great. Lots of good jokes(`except guide dogs `probly the best)
Fazing into star wars was v.funny too.
Gets my `5`.
Cant wait for the sequel

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 2]

Excellent

More entertaining than most of the death wish series.
Yes.
This clock thing is all a bit mystic I think.

[From Above]

Funny

Good technically and very funny as well.
A lot of clever jokes in it: The appearence of Homer Simpson
acknowleging that the idea for a teleporter being used for mundane things like going to the bathroom came from a simpsons halloween special.
I like the idea you had for the ending. (What WOULD happen if you dropped the `exit` port thru the `in` port of such a device anyway? Maybe it would demolish the Earth.)

Nice work.

[The Paperclip]

haha

Liked the notice on the lorry mirror: "Psychos may be moving faster than they appear".

The drawing was a bit offhand. The main thing is that there is some kind of plot u can follow without having to sort things out on the hoof: the mark of the true animator.

RareFactory responds:

well thank you, that means alot to me

[<< Lasagna >>]

Miam, miam

As a would-be francophile I found this short a lot of help.

But seriously, flash has potentiale grande for language instruction.
Of course such material would not get top marks here.

Nice animation: not overworked.

[Prelude to Joy]

5

Really imaginative tour-de-force of animation skill: just about every technique in the book is here.
I particularly liked that french wine factory bit near the end.
Reminds me of some 60`s acid short.

A sort of ironic pastiche of commercial culture. Lots of laughs too.

If this guy gets hold of a plot, ther will be no stopping him.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

*grabs a plot and drops it*

D'OH!

[Lifegroup]

Quicker if you stick your finger down your throat

Would have been a more realistc portrayal of the divine
plan if that sweet guy at the door had been a brain-damaged
death metal fan brandishing a hypo needle filled with infected
blood. :))

Godlimations responds:

yeah, but I'll keep it clean :)

[Horror Theatre]

funnyweird

Very atmospheric.
One thing: Is the central joke a ripoff of Monty Python's milkman sketch?

I
