UriahTWolfe's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Derek and Kelso Xperience]

Glitch?

It may just be my system, I dunno', but just at the point where they were beginning to make the TV show, the "Play" button popped up again while the dialog continued going on in the background. I pressed it again and it started playing again from the beginning, but over top of the part that was still playing from the first time I pressed play. If it's just my system, then "never mind"... Otherwise, looks okay, I see some characters drawn much better than others so I assume the ones that aren't drawn as smoothly are as you want them. So no complaints there, just mentioning it 'cuz someone else seemed to notice only the ones that weren't drawn so smoothly.

InfamousD responds:

It's not your system son, it's called part 1, part 2 will be up soon, I can assure you.

[StarCraft: The Return]

Very good, dialog a bit over-parsed

This is very good, I only noticed a tiny issue with the dialog and even that isn't anything to really fret about. It comes across as a bit over-staged, it doesn't flow quite like natural dialog would. It "rambles" a bit. They need to space it out more, take a breath now and again and pauze, as well as varying the pitch of their voices a bit more. Of course, you got far more right than wrong - it's a very good thing when you've gotten good enough that the only problems are trivial things like that. What I mean is that even with that one tiny issue, this is still a lot better than many other shorts I consider "good". Keep it up! :-)

LogFish responds:

The voices were a real struggle - I made the whole thing with poorly thought out placeholders, and came back in the last few days and redid the whole lot properly. The problem was the New Zealand accent means we talk a hell of a lot faster than you do/can if doing easily understood or different voices, so I had to really cram them in to fit into the gaps I had! Lesson learnt however - in my next one, my placeholders will be slow talkers heh. Thanks for softening your review there, and pointing it out!

[Critter and Sparque]

Nice!

I like that last one - "It was too short, the plot sucked and it needs voices, but -I liked it!-" LOL! :-) Seriously, I thought it was great as is. Waiting for more! :-)

KindaCreepy responds:

I'm going to rack my brains so damn hard to create a good plot for the next episode.

[Raccoonboy]

Interesting

I'm not sure if I "get it" or not (probably not), but it was interesting to watch. Might have to watch a few more times to see what I can figure out about it. It does seem to be almost like a puzzle to be solved.

Fierras responds:

hi,

i'm not sure if you watched it with the sound out of sync but if you did i've uploaded a new file.

maybe it will be more understandable now :)

and tnx for reviewing, it's appreciated.

["The Escape"]

A future classic!

I loved it! The message, the symbolism... And delivered in a visually and audibly "tasty" manner. GREAT JOB!

iBernie responds:

Thanks! Your review is very flattering.

[heavens waiting room]

Strange is right, but intriguing

You were right - it's strange. But also intriguing. Now I'm just going to try to figure out if there's any deliberate symbology present, or if it's more of a mish-mash, "ink blot" type of thing where you see what's meaningful to you even if it's not what was intended. Nice job. :-)

idiotmachine responds:

yeah you're right - went for the inkblot angle with a bit of dabbling to see what happens. unplanned flashes are fun. but often more frustrating than rewarding!

[Slime Love]

Liked it all but the ending was too abrupt

I liked it all, except the end was too abrupt. It wasn't what happened, just that one moment there was action and music, and the next nothing. That's okay to end a fast-paced short with, but something that was flowing so slowly and leisurely should end with more of a "fade out" than a sudden stop. It's good enough as is, of course, that's just my honest thought on one part of it.

ThatRoomThere responds:

k, thanks for liking most of it.

im going to change the ending though and resubmit it

[Cell Vs. Bacteria : Edit]

Good enough that I wish it were longer

I know it can be a pain to make long animations sometimes, but this was good enough that I really could've enjoyed seeing it for another minute or two. Good work! :-)

absentm1nd responds:

heehee, thankyou

[In Flanders Fields]

Great, but the poem should stand out more

Everything was great, I just would like to have been able to hear the poem through the entire reading. I know it appeared in writing as well, but the reading - what could be heard of it - was pretty nice, too, only it was drowned out by the rest of the sounds. Other than that, it's a lovely work. Thanks for making it! :-)

Zestos responds:

Thank-you for your friendly review. Please read Windirs review fro an explanation of my reasons for drowning out the voice of the narrator.

[The Fight for the CB pt3]

Voicwork "so-so" but still funny.

That was cute. Maybe try to vary your voices a little more, but even as is, it wasn't bad. Keep up the good work! :-)

Claego responds:

I'll be working on varying the voices more. Thanks for the review dude! :)
