GloineFiodh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Alcyone Incident]

I can see the effort you put into this.

This is very well done. You can tell you put a lot of thought into the whole thing, so I recommend expanding on the idea of the story. First I watched it, then read your comments about it, so it didn't quite click that there were meant to be three clear personas, the idiot, the workhorse, and the thief type. I would elaborate on that, but otherwise, this was surprisingly engaging if you have an open mind. The animation was spot-on. The voicing was really well done, and the poem narrarated in the background really sets a great overall mood that drives the story. I enjoyed the camera most of all though. The way you set it up to create the scenes, showing how the protagonist takes cover, it was very well done. This especially shines through in the last scene. Keep up the great work. Good Luck, do more stop motion.

VillainousTurtleSLC responds:

Great, informative, and constructive. Thank you.

[Jacinto Background:Africa]

It's ok...

But if your going to have a still frame of just one picture you drew, please put more effort into it, or have a slide show. I think you should add some background things happening or maybe have some African animals run in front of the screen. Either make something happen, or spend some more time on your drawings. But it's a good idea to let people use these, though I'm not sure how many will.

[COGS OF WAR 2]

Awesome

But where is the first? I remeber watching the first then looking for it but couldn't find it. Maybe you took it off. But great graphics, great humor, great animation. An all around good flash. Thanks for the laughs.

JohnnyUtah responds:

you can google it

[V Timelapse]

I liked it.

Largely because I love the movie. But the actual flash was lacking. You had a really good premice, but when making a time lapse, it requires little animation. Therefore, the final product should be much more detailed then what you provided us with. Overall, just work on the artwork, you had a really great idea though with the timelapse playing over the audio. Good luck.

liable-to-explode responds:

thanks a lot!

[Flecko's Halloween]

Awesome.

That fight scene was really awesome. One of the best I've seen on newgrounds. You really are a great animator. Everything was flawless, from the subtle background actions to the characters. Only the voices were not up to par, but its hard to match those visuals with audio. I love seeing all of your work. Happy Halloween.

[FrameByFrame]

Wow

Really really good. I remember watching your Gun vs. Chainsaw flash and seeing the potential you had not only with your animation skills but also your imagination and applying that to your animation. This is a perfect example of that. How you transform objects into entire scenarios being played out is awesome and creative. Like the man fishing. Great job, I really hope to see more from you. 9/10, 5/5. Good Luck.

[EX-Ken vs. Akuma]

Not Bad.

It was pretty good. I really enjoyed the animation, but it was clear that you got some of your inspiration from MK v SF. This bothered me slightly because some scenes looked like you took an idea from MK v SF and put it in your own flash without changing it or modifying it at all. Other then that, the animation was excellent, and the fight was entertaining. Just try to not overuse slow motion, and don't make your characters use such cool moves with the lightning right in the beginning, try to hold out. Good Job.

azn-sk8er-dude responds:

I don't know how I got any inspiration from him in the animation, but I did to start animating.

[Super Mario Invaded]

It was good.

The sprites were animated really well, and your attempts at new camera angles were noticed and appreciated because it brought something new, but other then that, I've seen the premise before. I really liked the variety you have with characters, (TMNT and DD), but would like to see more of that and more originality in the next, (please put Chrono in). It looks like it will be promising and more entertaining in next installments, but try to mix the plot up and keep those fluid animations and good sprites. I also saw the glitch with luigi at the end. Good Luck!

sleeeeep responds:

yeah expect a buttload more characters in the next one and as for the camera angles i gotta switch it up so it isnt all still shots while they are busy yapping
