GloineFiodh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Old Time Stickmen]

Entertaining

But, poorly animated and drawn. I would like to see more from you because you had a good old style cartoon, it was very innovative, and it was actually fun and entertaining to watch. Next time, just draw your characters better and spend more time on it.

LivingStick responds:

Thanks. I am going to improve on my drawing skills before the next movie.

[Evo lution]

Where can I get one?

I see great things for you. You have the ability to animate very smoothly, and your very creative. I think you should possibly create your own series with a unique world with all sorts of things like krabalabalanko trees. This was very good, but also very short and bland. I love the creativeness and audio, but would like to see color. Great job overall. Really consider a series though.

Pachira responds:

Thank you very much. And thank you especially for speling 'krabalabalanko' correctly!

[Ryu vs Dudley]

Not too shabby.

When it comes to SF sprites, I think the benchmark is MK v SF. Though yours not nearly as epic, long, or well choreographed, I still believe this is a great tribute. To start, your choice of characters was awesome. I love seeing different people instead of Ryu and Ken all the time. Also, you had some good fights in there, and your spritework was wonderful. To improve, make the combat more intricate and involve more complicated moves to catch attention, and possibly add a story. Overall, not bad, it stood up on its own. Good luck to you in the future.

Slicing-Claws responds:

Yea to tell the truth I'm almost getting sick of seeeing RYu lol
Thanks for the comment

[Flash Dancer]

Great

Amazing frame by frame work. I loved this. Great audio, great frame by frame, funny, stylish. Amazing work.

DonkeysBazooka responds:

those are all good things. im glad you like it

[The Vicious Cycle]

O man

I just realized it was a loop. I was waiting and waiting and I didn't think it would be a loop because of all the body splatter, but it was. OK, graphics, not the best, but ok. You had a nice idea with some great symbolism, I was waiting for one stick man to do things his own way though, and break the cycle. Regardless, great job.

Spaltzer responds:

I really wanted to add a randomness to the people being animated, but I got caught up in creating the weather. If I do another one of these, I'll be sure to add in a random effect. Thanks for your critique!

[KLT Short: An Angry Gamer]

I'd like to see more.

Good idea, funny, and well executed. Only thing I'd like to see is more length, and better voices. Good luck and keep it up guys.

neonfox3 responds:

thanks man, the voices may stay the same im fond of them but i may improve todd's voice (guy with black hair) somewhat.

[//Necropolis Prelude]

Very good.

I very much enjoyed this. Once again, your ability to draw so well and animate it is amazing to me. Keep up the great work with the Nightgun series. Good luck to you.

JazLyte responds:

Thanks, glad u enjoyed it

[x-falcons opening 1]

Good for a first

I'm glad too see someone new submitting a first submission thats original. I really liked your black and white style. Some tips would be to take more time with your drawings. Make your characters look a little different, reflect their personality into the character. When a character is walking. Try not to just have them slide, have them in a walk cycle. If your still new to flash and having trouble, put something infront of their legs. I've been using flash for about 3 years, and I still have some trouble with walk cycles. You have alot of style with your animation, which is great. I recommend practicing just frame by frame work and tweens in random flashes, don't upload them to newgrounds or anything, and see what you learn. When you get good enough, come back to this X-Falcon idea. Nice for a first though, take this into consideration. Best of luck to you. Welcome to Newgrounds!

alemuji responds:

i will definitely take that into consideration...thanks for the tips!!

[City Royale I]

Not bad

Not a great fan of sticks, but I liked your approach. I liked how you took a new take by attempting at some different camera angles, but sometimes I couldn't tell what was going on. You have really great ideas and are a great director, but you need to spend more time on drawings. I suggest you buy a wacom pad if you haven't already and learn to draw better environments and characters and animate them more fluently. Overall, not bad. 7/10, 4/5. Good luck

Dossfilm responds:

thanks so much for the review.

and yah i've thought about getting one, but they are just too damn expensive. Even for a used one.

but thanks alot for the support.

[JTHM - Blood]

Good graphics.

Obviously you were going for an extremely brutal flash, and you did a job well done. I loved it. The song fit it perfectly. One complaint about the animation were those blue lines appearing behind some of the animation. I guess those were your starting scribbles to help you out. I personally thought it looked cool, but I still recommend getting rid of them. Great job. Keep it up.

stinkoid responds:

Yeah, I thought about that. When I showed it to my friends they all seemed to love the background scribbles even though I intended to get rid of them in the end. So, due to popular demand I kept them. But I think they do need to go. Thanks for the advice and the review!
