Seawana's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Sticks]

Spiffy.

Overall that was well done and I liked it. I remember making similar style movies back in the day with Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. Gotta have blood on every frame too. Heh heh.

Anyhow, good work with the rotoscoping. That came out very well. Guess I'll have to check out your other submissions now :-)

[Good Night]

Very good ... and super creepy.

Oh, how I wish I had turned off the lights before watching this movie. It was creepy enough with them on, but I could've gotten a pretty good scare without them.

The artistic style was really cool and fit the mood of the piece very well. Overall, the story was simple, and avoided the blood and gore the same way a really good horror/thriller movie does. You made reat use of what cannot be seen to really scare the audience with their own imagination. Bravo!

[A Mile a Minute Star Wars]

Superb!

I haven't laughed that hard at a Flash movie in a long time. Kudos!

[Gravity¹³]

A very neat idea!

When I saw sticks at the beginning, I wasn't sure quite what to expect (other than a lot of blatent killing). I am happy to say I was pleasently surprised.

Although this is still a movie of the stick death genre, it was very well executed (pun intended). Usually once through is more than enough for these, but this movie warranted a couple of extra viewings to see everything that happened. I loved the smooth animation and all the subtle nuances of the characters.

It also was not overly bloody like many stick movies. Thank you for that.

The concept is great too. As soon as the red stick "lost" I immediately took bets on who would "win". I guessed wrong, of course, but that didn't stop me from loving it.

Great work. Now I have to check out your other stuff. :-)

[Dogg - Episode One]

Slick and pretty.

I really liked this movie. The art was well done and had a great style to it. I will agree that the music clips should be a little longer in some spots (like when Dogg was "surfing the whale") just to help fill out the scenes.

Anyhow, I really enjoyed it. It was cute and fun and I want to see more now.

Oh, and by the way, is 1.5 Ghz REALLY required for high quality? I have a 300Mhz PII and it played pretty good on medium. :-)

[Sweet potato]

A technically well done movie.

Have you been reading Bash.org lately? Hmmm.

A cute movie nonetheless. I liked the alternate endings.

nef responds:

Yeah, that's where the original potato theory is from, I mentioned them in the credits :) Thanks for the review.

[Baby Home Movies Ep. 2]

Reasonable but needs work.

I like the concept behind these Baby Home Movies episodes, but they need a little more oomph to get the high votes.

The animation is a little too simple. Even if you are going for simple, it just ends up looking amateurish. Having the camera wiggle around a little bit ould help make it look a lot more like a real home movie. Also, the baby never says anything. A little baby voice would be cool.

Anyhow, keep up the good work.

[Brain Dead Ina]

A great solidly made movie!

Good work! I really liked this movie. It was very well done and even had a plot ... a typical zombie plot, but a plot nonetheless.

The voice acting was certainly not up to par with the rest of the flick. More emotion would be great. Also, the movement was pretty choppily keyframed in some areas when simple tweens would have made a huge difference.

Anyhow, Keep up the great work.

[Devil:Joker IV]

Not all that great.

Please please please read the FAQ and learn to compress your sound. 4685kb?! This movie should be an order of magnitude saller.

afromonky responds:

If you compress your sound, it sounds like crap. And that would lower my score. Thanks for the review.

[All Your Pie]

Dental Plan!

This was a great movie. Well done. I totally cracked up when I saw the "Dental plan!" joke. That was too much. Good job.
