CelestOrion's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piggybank's Double Feature Spectacular]

Long live SonicShits 2.

Piggybank12 responds:

it will live on for eternity, no matter how much we try to stop it.

[Left 4 Ponies]

Not TOO bad...

The premise behind the animation was nice, but I feel as if everything could have been animated better. You seemed to rely too heavily on tweening instead of possibly throwing in some frame-by-frame animation in there. I see plenty of potential, however, so be sure to keep up the good work.

PatoLarax responds:

Thank you, your opinion is very important for me...

[Sonic Anihilation Part1v2]

Normally, I don't review low...

But this is one of those times where criticism needs to be pointed out.
Firstly, I would have suggested drawing your animation instead of using sprites, but since you did use sprites, I'll judge you based on what I saw. Your HUD was atrocious. I would have styled it with pretty much anything besides Chemical Plant/Wing Fortress tilesets.
The sprites weren't even aligned evenly. In the beginning, when Tails is 'flying' the Tornado, it keeps moving around in an unsettling way. Fixing that up should be relatively easy. Clicking 'Continue' every time someone speaks is also annoying. Pressing 'Space' would have been a much better choice. I was also disappointed with the dialog between the characters, since their text did not match their character.
The backgrounds need a LOT of work. Simply drawing a background with the line-tool or brush as you did was horrible for rooms. You should work on putting more time and effort into your backgrounds, to compliment the use of your sprites.
You should also work on the jokes. I either saw them coming a mile away, or they were just to horrible to my taste.

Hopefully you'll take heed of some of the words I've typed. Put them to good use, and perhaps your next animation with sprites might turn out better than this did.

[A Newgrounds Christmas]

Impressive

Good job on making the characters fit their respective styles! Everything was laid out in a witty fashion, in my opinion. The quality of everything was clear, too. Keep up the good work!

Jazza responds:

thank you very much :)

[XNinjaRed AMV Intro]

Eh...

Try not to post something as short and meaningless on Newgrounds. At least give us something worthy to vote or review. However, the quick animation that was there was quite nice, and fluid, so my stars go there. However, I'm only giving you three, since that's all that there is to it. If your animation is as good as it was here, then I expect it to be great. Can't wait to see what it is.

XNinjas responds:

Yeah, I plan to post some better videos which would be more then just intros, it's just that I never got around to finish them.

The short animations like these are the only really "completed" flash projects I made.

Anyway, the 3 is justified, but I only uploaded this to show it to a few friends.

[Megaslap]

Great work on the flash!

Of course, I wouldn't expect any less from you! Nice frame-by-frame animation, but I can agree that a couple of the facial expressions could use a bit of tweaking, for instance, when Megaman says, "Rush?...You said he ran away...!"
Could've made it sadder, but all in all, I'm proud of this animation.

The-real-iceman responds:

the facial expressions do need some more tweaking

thanks again =P

[Kitchen Knife Action]

Hmm...

I can understand the what the main aspect of the Flash is, but you should incorporate a little bit of dialogue or a prologue of sorts to further explain the situation, so that those that can't catch on quick enough can grasp the concept. Other than that, there was a slight bit of humor in there, but it needs to be brought out a bit more. Animation wasn't bad for the objects that were provided.

~CelestOrion

Jezzem responds:

Thanks for the comment. I'd most likely take that advice if I were still animating...

[Fatherly Bonds]

A work of art

This is, by far, one of the best Flashes that I have seen on Newgrounds for some time. The art style was gorgeous, the music was fitting, and the humor was clearly there. I am expecting more work from you in the future, do not disappoint me!

~~CelestOrion

Gonzossm responds:

I WILL NEVER DISAPOINT YOU >:D

[Mecha Sonic Vs Mfulgorep2]

Hmm

Seems to me as if everyone is trying to make sprite-battles like Super Mario Bros. Z, but I can tell that you put some effort behind this, because the quality of the Flash was great, and I liked the effects that you used. Keep up the good work.

Stiff69 responds:

grateful thanks friend;)
