Digimaks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 3]

AH, LOVE IT!

I realy love this project!
All animations were so good! The jokes were original and cool! maybe part about Big the cat was a little disturbing to some ppl I believe.
Funny how Silver Hedgehog couldn't make it through the loop :))))) Peeerfect ))
Many of those were so well animated! The FbF animation makes it look even more professional!

I want to participate in this collab!!!!
Hope I can join after I finish my work in one company I am currently working in. I love making sonic games and got a good experience with Flash animation.
Any chance ? ; )

[Oceans In Motion]

very old joke.

That joke was good back then . right now alot of people terying to do it again, thinking that it will be funny once again.
Sorry, dude, but that's just too old.

cvncpu responds:

I still laugh

[Sonic adventure2 in 4 min]

Grahahaha!

Never played Sonic Adventure 2 (realy want to, but bcause I'm only on PC there were no Sn2 PC releases :(((((( )
Anyway,. That was so hillarious, I was cracking up during the whole movie, and after it, I still had endless giggle :))

I heard of the rail canyon and Shadow in it. Looks like you missed that part, and during the city run you forgot to put a truck chase.

Anyway, real funny movie.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Sonic Adventure 1 parody!
There are many silly moments you can make fun of!

RogerregoRRoger responds:

i didn't forget them, i left them out because i couldn't think of any jokes.
damn, if i had to insert every level and part of the sonic adventure 2 game, it could never be a "in 3 mintues"movie ^^;

about sonic adventure 1, i had an idea, but it won't be a "in # minutes" hyper flash.

[Madness Mini 3]

As I expected...

when I seen the name , I knew right away, there aint be anything new in the sequence. The same old so "oh my oh cool" dude, killing the crap out of everyone aimlessly.
when I saw " But the sheriff was prepaired to.." I thought that mabe there will be something new or intence battle between them, but... the same ending as before.
Your style stayed solid as your previous animations BUT the story is the same old one.
CMON, dude! you got to SURPRISE US!

PS- nice gun drawings BTW!

Shrinkz responds:

yeah, i wanted to add something a little more climactic, but i was just out of ideas.

[The History of Animation]

Nice but a little inaccurate.

Dude? the first signs of So called movements were sort of seen in Lauscaucs cave, youre right on that.
BUT-
the first sequence drawing was an ENCHANTED DRAWING (by James Stuart Blackston) 1900 !!
And only then- the first Cell animation in 1914.
1914- Gertie the Dinasour !
1929 the Skeleton Dance!- (Disney)
Then there was a strip of horse photographs- which was a bet on whether or not the horse lifts all feets up.
The first Handrawn color Cartoon was Little Nemo .(WinsorMcCay- 1910, 1920.
1932- " Flowers and trees- the first COLOR Processed cartoon (not hand colored! (Disney)
First Cartoon With Sound was Steamboat Willie! 1928

So pretty nice flash, but youre missing the main Keypoints in animation hostory.

cyberen responds:

Well thanks for picking up the slack.

[A Biography Of Ray Kroc]

"Yeah, not front page worthy. "

Boring crap :(
"wel it's biography"
THEN WHY TO MAKE IT!?
Youre a politically gifted fellon, you know!
Note: I returned you back your scores, to be fare.

PS stop being a hater- That's #2

DickTater responds:

"'wel it's biography' THEN WHY TO MAKE IT!?" Because I am informing people of what Ray Kroc did... You're calling me a hater when you obviously hate me, that seems ironicly funny? And Im not sure I realize what a "Politicallly gifted fellon" is. I can't really tell if that's a good or a bad thing.

[The Noob's Life]

truth about everyone of us!

That is soo true!
Everyone is a noob once in a while And in the movie it reflects how the new guy get bumped by self proud kid that thinks he is a pro and others are noobs. I hate those kind of people.
And I like it how in your story the noob aint noob anylonger! Instead he gainsa power and get even dtronger than that selfish as$.
(used to beat the crap out of these who called me noob in online games.THEveLEARNED THEIR LESSONS!)
the ending sucks.
what happen to that selfish AS$ who was picking on him!??!???????
did he die tooo? why? where!
GJ on your flash. PS- DONT DISCOURAGE YOOURSELF LIKE THAT!!

Snoofalah responds:

That selfish ass was me.

[Fragile Machine: Oread 2]

Not flash at all,but welcome anyway.

Well even thought this is not flash at all (more like an Aftereffect or something similar to that. and 3D too.)-afterefect is capable of making video editing like that, and still export it as SWF file : ) .)
The style of it is good for a retail quality to go on TV.
It is a little hard to judge by criteria we have here, but it looks great .

Aoineko responds:

Thank you for your kind words. In response to your specific comment, although many of the shots are 3d exported through flash, many others are 3d bitmaps animated in flash. many of the raindrops, wires, camera pans, etc were all animated in flash. other shots were 3d with a different frame rate that were smoothed out in flash. thus it is about a 50/50 spread of flash and prerendered. had it all been straight animation exported through flash it would have been at least twice the download size.
