PolishMatt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[StrawberryClock]

Piece of shit.

Why do you bother even living. I hate the whole fucking clock crew bullshit as it is and this is a great example why.

MiracleFruitClock responds:

why the hate

[Darfur Satire Shorts]

Awesome.

Yeah that was amazing. Great voice acting and the animating was clean and smooth.

Chakra-X responds:

Thanks!

[The Smoking Kills Collab]

Bad.

Whenever there is a collab, I get excited because they are always awesome, full of creative ideas, never before seen styles of animating by new animators that aren't too popular and they're always funny but this just sucked balls. I only saw one half decent animation in this whole collab, and also, there only about 3 main ideas of how everyone "dies" from smoking and everyone just over did them again and again.

TommyVF responds:

You didn't understand this, did you? ...
It isn't a realistic anti-smoking campain! It's a unrealistic cartoonish movie to make you laugh, man!

[Against the Colossus]

Meh

It's a shame to see someone that has so much Flash experince and knows how to make a good story line, but doesn't have the slightest bit of creativity or common sense. And it really shows and affects your overall score. 4.17? I can see how this flash could of gotten at least 4.60+ if it had some original characters and a bit more detail.

Next time, you might want to use characters that take a bit longer than 15 seconds to draw in Flash, and as I already mentioned, add some more detail for love of God, flying bullets and mountains that are used for nearly all scenes anyways, won't cut it. 7/10, consider yourself warn. I and a lot of other people, won't be so liniant with the score next time.

Swished responds:

I was aiming for action and violence while making this movie.
Stickfigures are indeed easy to draw. but that's not why i use them, i like them.

Thank you for the review :D

[A cap opener man comes.]

Holy shit

That was so fucking cool, great job on the animating, the dick is a bit awkward but well fitted with the scene I guess. Good job, keep them coming.

NOBU777 responds:

Thank you for the comment. Please expect work next to me.

[A Smucker's Moment]

Haha

I loved it. Great job.

Skaijo responds:

Much love! I appreciate the kind word.

[Coulrophobia 2]

Wow

That was fucked up, I loved it.

ImpendingRiot responds:

I thank you

[Halloweeathefuck?]

Holy shit

That was amazing! I loved it. It actually got me worried he was really dead for a second but I was disappointed there wasn't anything really big after that scene but it still ended well, and the kid's reaction could of been better.

Fantomass responds:

I'm glad you liked it. About the reaction - as I said, we were running out of time and patience (but of course that's no big excuse). But you can think, that the boy was scared in the start, then he did a little prayer to thank god for that and then (after the movie ended :D) he got really angry and yelled. Anyway, thank you for the great review!

[Hallogasm]

WOW

You deserve the first place spot for this month! that awesome! it had everything! nice smooth animation, must of taken you forever though but I think it was worth it. Thanks for the awesome animation and Happy Halloween!

ineedhalp responds:

I actually rushed this submission(as you can probably tell from the quality) and managed to complete it in two weeks time.

[Legend of Luik]

Not bad.

Well I heard you are trying to be a better animator so here are some tips, and I'm not exactly a professional either but I do a lot of flash and seen pretty much every Flash on this site since 2000 so I have a pretty good idea what looks good or not. Anyways, try not use the 'Linear" type of colouring when filling in stuff, it just doesn't look professional and looks like you are trying to cut corners and time.

Just shade it a bit, might take a bit longer but you will be greatly rewarded. Also, try not to use thick lines, it simply doesn't look good. Try to hand draw some more and less motion tween and if it's too hard, use it only then or when trying to move things that don't really have much movement like backgrounds or zooming in (The idea is to try not make it too obvious you used it).

When you have draw things your not too great at, you might want to zoom in a bit more and show what you are good at. Hmm, I will stop at that, and I wasn't trying to insult you or anything, just feedback and tips! the animation it self wasn't bad (along with the music) but you might want to work a bit more on it. Good work and keep it up!

TX2 responds:

Well, as I stated this cartoon was made over the process of two years, and a great deal of improvement was made over that time, especially in the last 6 months, So a lot of What I learned is not reflected in this movie.

The Thick Vs Thin lines is definitely something I've gotten a handle on recently. I learned most of the dangers of motion tweening during my earliest flash submissions 3 years ago and I can assure you that any mistakes you saw were not a dependence of motion tweens, but just a limit on the amount of consistant drawings I could make (Particularly the sword fighting scene). I only just last year started using frames and shapes to assist my sketches.
