[Legends of a New Earth P1]

Well

First of all, this would have a higher score if you submited it a different day because there was this HUGE spam thing where almost 50 people voted 0 on all the flashes in the portal. However, i think you might win a trophy because of this. Here is my honest review.

I'd like you to keep in mind that i think this is VERY corny and actually made me laugh because the movements and childish acting made it seem almost fake. However the animation was superb and the drawings were very very nice.

Graphics: 10/10

The drawings were all very well done and a HUGE improvement from your last flash. They each were done with almost strokes of paint it seemed. This shows you truly put time and effort into this animation. Respect.

Sounds 6/10

The sound was very hard to hear and i had to almost turn my speakers up all the way to a usually devastating volume. The sound effects like the thunder were actually louder than the voices. Most of the sound effects were very well done, however. Next time use flash to make the sound a bit better and the MB siz e LOT smaller. ;)

Voice 7/10

The acting was pretty bad for the main character. Everything that she said seemed like she didnt mean it, side from a couple of parts she had. She was very monotone. 5/10 The black wolf in the beginning was pretty nice because it was deep and easy to understand. The acting, however, didnt seem like he really loved the other wolf. This made it seem fake, almost. 8/10 The rabbit was nice, but yet again some of it didnt seem like the rabbit was meaning everything he said. However, it was a bit better than the black wolf. 9/10 Finally, i only had two parts and give myself a 9/10.... but you know I cant really judge myself xD

Animation: 9/10

The animation was nice and enjoyable because it was a different style that people usually see. It was like a moving painting almost. The detail in each color was perfect. However, it was a bit sketchy at times. Such as the one time when the main wolf was breathing, you just put in a whole bunch of scribbles to represent the diaphragm, which worked well but was clearly noticeable. I loved the movements you made like the butterfly and the running. Well done.

Plot: 7/10

The plot started out a nice story for a nice series. It was also pretty original. This could be made into a nice movie if you had the time and the motivation. The downside to the plot was that some of it didnt make since. Like how the main wolf just randomly passed out, how she attacked a bunny but wouldnt attack the talking bunnies. Why would she attack the bunnies in the first place if she didnt to the talking ones? Racism lol. :P Also, there were a bit... too many questions left unanswered. Who are the other tribE? Why did they kill everyone? Why were they stronger? How do they talk? Why is the sky made out of lines?

All in All: 8/10

It was a great movie and you worked very hard on it. You stayed with it even though you ran into some speed bumps. You even got together the right cast of voice actors! You are very deserving of a trophy, in my opinion, because you not only stuck with it but made it a pretty nice movie in general. I hope the next one is a little less corny and has a bit more action and comedy in it. ALLL drama gets kind of... well corny. Throw in some lines here in there to soften up the mood. Put in a fight.

Good job! Keep it up. :) I will be glad to voice a major charecter next time.

Jessismith responds:

I agree. I should have done some research as to when to submit it. I always submit at random times, lol. xD
Heheh, well I'm glad it gave you a laugh. I have to admit....even from the beginning, it was a corny concept, but I decided that perhaps putting it into animation form would make it less so. Oh well. I don't mind people laughing. :)
Thanks. Heheh, yeah, I work with sketches and scribbles a lot unfortunately....just my cluttered, lazy style.
Well, I'm glad you sort of liked the plot. Well, the whole story is complicated. There are so many things to explain that I can't possibly fit into the first movie. xP I will add more info in the story section on the website. I can see how people are getting confused with my crazy plot holes. Lol, I liked that last question. I'm going to have to add all of yours and everyone else's question to an FAQ lol. Heheh....my art is bad...I know.
Thanks buddy. You were an awesome voice actor....your voice fit Tuk perfectly. You all deserve the trophies as well. I agree that drama is corny. I wish I wasn't too lazy to add a lot of action. Heh, yeah I will. I am wondering if the script for the next one is even more corny. :P
Thanks buddy. I have a good script up and running just for you. :)

[Resident Hall Evil]

LOL

I enojoyed this greatly. the parad camera angles and hilarioud body movements made my day. It was just like the first resident evil lol xD

Great job man, keep it up. This is the best movie i have seen from you so far.

Fro responds:

Thanks man. Happy you liked it.

[Squares -simple as that-]

It was good for your experience man.

You have some enthusiasm for this simple as that sort of thing. I liked the idea, but the animation was just a bit... boring. I mean, it sure was simple. You can still be simple but complex at the same time by using only squares to create all sorts sf stuff. Use filters on your flash, use coding to make the bounce around *contct if you need help with any of this*, make them change colors.

Also, some of your colors were not very niuce to look at. Like green on yellow or blue on brown. I did enjoy the tweens though.

So anyway, I gave you a 5 for the obvious effort you put into this and an 8 for what I think you deserve at your level. I mean, you are after-all only 14. I was at the stage of drawing stick figures at 14... I sucked at animating. xD

Great job old bean! Keep up the hard work.

farfenwaffle responds:

well...I am not entertaining, this was ment to be art instead of entertainment. some people can do both at the same time, but I had tons of fun making it all the same :)
filters are a great Idea but it takes away from the aniamtion. and brings attention to flashing lights.
also, coding is not animation, its...coding....it's almost cheating. I find no fun In tweening OR coding

I'm no graphic artist...colors are not my thing.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT judge me for my age. treat me like adam philips or krinkles or the swain. don't vote up or down because of my age. judge me by my animation, not years alive

I USED TWEENS IN ONLY THE SCENE WITH THE TRAILING that is the ONLY part I tweened in! and I'm proud of it

Thank you for the advice, I will take it into consideration

[Dad 'n Me: Beginnings]

Lolz

Well the graphics sucked, but I suck at drawing 2 so its ok. You did do a nice ob at the style though. The jokes mere alright but I didnt find myself laughing that much. You should have included more blood and vilence lol. You should have also made the skeleton dad guy thing man person get ANGRY when punching the tax guy in teh face instead of happy. *In my opinion*

I think this deserves a socre of a 3.20 in my opinion.. but I voted a 4 for yah.

Keeeeeppp it upah!

Gustavos responds:

I was going to include more fighting at the end, but I was running short on time. The Dad was happy because he got to show his kid something really funny. When you entertain a kid, you need a smile on your face, right?

[Castle Repercussions - C]

REPLY PLEASE! Detailed Review. ;)

So I have watched your series probably since I was in 8th grade. I enjoyed it A LOT then and I enjoy it A LOT now. The graphical quality and detail that you put into each rendered out and filtered image sends chills up and down my spine. I could see this on a DVD in stores, and I could see many buying it as well.

Another concept that just baffled me was the fact you kept me interested in a serious flash movie... made of stick figures. Of course, the stick figures are what makes this movie such a kick-ass action movie with the coolest special explosion and blood effectsI have ever seen in an animated film.

This is truly a proffesional piece of work. ARTwork. The plot is brilliant and the voices are fantastic.

So a job well done to a wonderful series. You are way underrated and deserve a lot more than you do now. I think this deserves a tank award personally. Not just this, but the series as a whole.

My favorite part of this whole series is Castle III Part C when Etrius says SHUTUP to the guy. That caught me completley off guard and I bursted out laughing, but it also meant something. It meant there was some unknown force within the castle and that artifact gave him some sort of power... the power of the ancients?

Great movie, great series, and a great hour and thirsty minutes of my life. I hope to see a continuation to this series where they try to reveal the hidden mysterys of the third and final book. *which they didnt even get right?* I loved how you showed each soldiers perspective in these 4 movies. I loved it.

Thank you.

And who did Tomomato voice?

Get-lost responds:

Hey thanks a lot man.
First off, there's no third book. The third Castle only held the power as stated in the prologue :-) TomaMoto voiced Mullins.

[Rolling Along]

GLAD TO SEE YOUVE IMPROVED!!!

Hey awesome man, you got your first trophy and even have a list of fans! :D This video was really cool because of the awesome camera work going on in there. I was expecting the camera to go to one place, and it went the exact oppisite lol. I didnt know what to expect! I did, however, find it boring that the ball was kept moving by simple lines coming out of the ground.

You should have variated the ways the ball was kept moving like maybe different colored lines, a rocket exploding, a shoe kicking it, another ball, e.t.c. You could get really complex and evolve this idea into an awesome frame by frame animation.

SWEEEEEEETTAAAH.

farfenwaffle responds:

yeah, but the full name IS rolling along-simple as that- I would enjoy it more if it had such silly things happening. I'm glad you liek the camera work too, its almost as if the camera is a character.

[Sketched - Happy Birthday]

Lol.

I found it very original and comical. The art was simple yet great at the same time, which made the flash enjoyable to watch. I loved the voice acting, it was in great quality. The jokes were funny as well, which now adays is rare in flashes because I never laugh at these anymore lol. Great flash!

I was laughing at this, especially when they were blown out. xD

HAPEE BIRTHDAY.

P.S. hows sketched 6 coming along?

sirjeffofshort responds:

Thanks man. This one was a little different from the others so I wasn't sure how people would feel about it so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The next episode is edited audio wise, but I think I am going to do a re-cut because there were way to many great lines that I had to cut out. I'll send it along once its done.

[Castle Repercussions - B]

Fantastic as always.

I am so glad to see that your still making these great games. The only thing that bugs me about this one is that it is a bit short. I have seen all 3 parts for this 4th episode, and can not wait until your 4th one come out. Keep up the fantastic artwork and STICK with it! GET IT?! STICK! hahahahha... hum.

Get-lost responds:

Yeah it's the shortest. Har har, hilarious joke :) Thanks

[Castle Repercussions - A]

Just wow... just wow.

the only reason i am giving you a 9 is because it took you so freaking long to post it on Newgrounds AFTER you had made it. :/ Whats up with that? Sponsor money or something?

Well anyway, this truly is the best material in flash animation here on the web... IN STICK FIGURES OF COURSE! But still.. this beats almost all. It is... just amazing. I LOVE YOU. :D

Get-lost responds:

Haha, sorry for the delay. My first aim was to release all parts on newgrouns not too long apart, but D is still in production etc, so I'm putting up the current parts instead. Thanks though :)
