UberKuri's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sleeping lady]

Pretty Good

Graphics: The graphics in this were extremely well done IMHO, there was great detail and colour, and the blood was done really well also.

Style: The animation was a bit jumpy at the start, but it got a lot better as the movie went along. I think that you should make another, much longer submission along the lines of this, with a storyline, etc, that would be really good.

Sound: The music was great and went really well with the movie, but sound effects could've helped it a great deal.

Violence: The blood was WELL DONE =D

Interactivity: None.

Humour: None.

Overall: A real good Flash, but what I think dragged the score down was the length of it. As I said earlier, making a longer flash with a story behind would be great.

[Picard Song]

Average

Graphics: The graphics weren't that well drawn, but atleast you can tell who/what they are :P Design is definately needing improvement here, in characters and other objects, and try adding a background.

Style: The animation was stiff, try using the ease feature, which would help smooth it out. You synced in time with the music well though =]

Sound: Sound was fine, nothing bad here, good syncing.

Violence: None

Interactivity: None

Humour: Most of the humour was brought about by the song, but you used some of the lyrics well to get a laff =]

Overall: Umm, this needs to be better drawn, and there are tutorials to help you with that, though you don't have to follow them and you can try to get your own style going, but you should follow the great tutorials NG has about animating, they could really help in your submissions.

CorellonL responds:

Thank you, I actually did learn everything I know from the NG tutorials, I would be lost without the All-In-One Tutorial Part I. The disambiguation of your score certainly helps. And I WILL draw it better this weekend.

[-SG- KickAss Intro]

Pretty Good

Graphics: Great graphics in this too be honest, you got the bloog down really well.

Style: The animation was pretty well done, done at a great fast pace, no problems here.

Sound: This is what needs work, if you wanted to have it without sound on purpose, then OK, but this still needs backing music and sound effects to really interest people ;)

Violence: Well animated, once again, no problems here.

Interactivity: None

Humour: Great that you went after StrawberryClock xD

Overall: This was a pretty good flash, it had good animation and all the rest, but it really needed to have sound added to it.

- Kuri

DeathShades responds:

Thank you for the review. I have been told I needed more sound... The official version will be posted on our website, and it will have sound. I would put it here but... they don't quite like doubleposting...

[Cuties]

Ngawww ^^

Graphics: The graphics were pretty simple, but that worked well for the movie. Though I think you should add a more detailed background.

Style: The animation seemed a little stiff, but that's ok. I liked the way they walked, or rolled lol. You can sync well, so that's good.

Sound: The sound was well done, the quality of the recordings was pretty good, cute voices.

Violence: Animated OK, but it wasn't too bad.

Interactivity: None

Humour: I actually laughed when the guy started vomiting, and then the reaction of the main characters face xD Nice job dude.

Overall: Despite the very simple designs, this flash was pretty well done, with a seriously unexpected twist at the end for me ;) Keep it up man.

-Kuri :3

JunkYardAnimations responds:

hahaha thanks man, this one was probably my most innocent flash, and the style was not like my style at all.

[-3 Day Weekend-]

Poor ><

Graphics: Sticks, which doesn't leave much to say. The backgrounds weren't too clean either, I think you need to take more time with them, try to have cleaner lines instead of plain scribble, know what I mean?

Style: Uuum, the animation wasn't TOO bad, but you can definately improved. I think that if the size of the characters was increased, the animation would look better and be a little easier to animate. And, try to increase the pace of this submission aswell, went slow for me and got a little boring.

Sound: You're choice of song is good as usual :3 Adding sound effects would also help your submissions, for when he hits the ground, hits other people etc.

Violence: When he threw them to the ground, the action was really slow, you need to make the FBF go faster when doing stuff like that.

Interactivity: Buttons :3

Humour: He just HAPPENED to make those impossible jumps and the other people didn't aye? RIGHT lol xP

Overall: Ehh, I know you know that stick figures don't really do it for me, and if you had better graphics this would improve ratings greatly. One other thing I hadn't touched on was camera angles, try and move the angles around to like, front views, close-ups etc., it would become more interesting ;)

<3

Lost-Wisdom responds:

Surprising you still vote 10 for everything I do, I find it makes me very happy! I know my animations are pretty much subpar, and I don't even think I'm improving.

Although a user is helping me with great advice, I do think I need to learn more.

Thanks for the great review.

[the elements 2]

Not Bad

Graphics: Just plain sticks, but the lazors or whatever were pretty well done.

Style: This was pretty well animated, and it went smoothly. The fast pacing was really great aswell, though you should really make it longer with more of a plot.

Sound: I loved your choice of song for this submission, and you can sync animations and sound extremely well. Maybe you should start to try mouth syncing, to really help your Flash along.

Violence: Well animated violence ;)

Interactivity: None

Humour: It laughed when the song started playing xD

Overall: This was a well animated submissions that went smoothly, and fast, but you need to make a longer one to keep the viewer interested, you know? And having voices and syncing them would be great also.

[Charlie The Unicombat]

Great

Graphics: The graphics were done pretty well, the blood was pretty good too ;)

Style: The animating in this was done pretty well, despite having near-static unicorns for characters. I definately loled at the explanations of how he got the bandages, and the horn fight was very well done.

Sound: Great music, I really need to find a copy of that lol. Uuum, the sycning was done spot on, so there isn't anything to complain about in sound.

Violence: The violence was well done, so good work here.

Interactivity: None

Humour: This was filled with laughs, the facial features, and the falling down the staircase part was hilarious.

Overall: This was a really good flash, and I can't think of many bad things to say here, except that the static unicorns could be better, with more movement to the whole body, though I know that is a hard thing to do, so that isn't a big problem =]

-Kuri

digitalk responds:

Yeah, the unicorn pictures where a letdown, i wish i had more of them

[Machete.]

Needs Work

Graphics: These were just basicly circles, yeah? Try to do more detailed designs of your characters, with better faces etc.

Style: The animation in this wasn't the best, it went rather slowly. Instead of having the whole body on a single layer, put different body parts on different layers, so that you can animate them individually, and make it look better, and smoother, with everything matching up.

Sound: You had a pretty good choice of song, that was OK. But, you may need a tiny bit of work on syncing effects and the movie, it was just a little bit off. Only a little, so don't get too crazy about it.

Violence: Pretty ordinary, which was mainly because of the not-so-high standard of animating.

Interactivity: None

Humour: Was just killing really,

Overall: Ok, so, the design needs work, as does your animating, but you have good taste in music, and your syncing isn't too bad. There are lots of tutorials etc. out there that can help you in all these categories, so you can improve =]

Frenzy responds:

Thanks for the great review!

[300 v.s Transformers]

Needs Work

Graphics: Some of the character designs were actually done pretty nicely, but you need to work on the actual animating.

Style: As I said, the designs weren't too bad, but this movie was mostly those single images standing around. Try to do some small animation with layers, or FBF.

Sound: The voices were kinda cool, and the quality was good aswell, nothing much wrong there, and the syncing was pretty good too, even if it was done with boxes =\

Violence: Very mild, getting hit on the head and dieing, try some more creative and complex deaths to perform lol.

Interactivity: None

Humour: It wasn't too bad, but I think the movie needs to be paced faster for us to really enjoy it.

Overall: Some of the designs were ok, but your animation needs alot of work, start going away from single images doing nothing, and implement movement.

[SKATER V2 Episode: 03]

Great

Style: Lol, awesome.

Sound: Synced great, good choice of music.

Violence: Performed pretty well =]

Interactivity: None xP

Humour: Great as usual

Overall: There isn't much I can complain about in this one, or in any of them. Keep up the great work man.
