Stagnant's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Soul Cream]

Very nice..

I really liked it although it was pretty scary to hear my own music in it, fucked me up a bit :P
Liked your style, look forward to more from you ^^

Bulortio responds:

wasn't going to use any music till I heard yours :P fit perfectly with it!!!

Moving.

This touched me. It's a brilliantly simple animation and it's a brilliant song that you've made it around. The animation was very smooth and full of expression everywhere i looked. The lip-synching was great and the characters in it were excellent. I absolutely loved this, the only problem was the subtitles at the bottom. I don't know if you noticed but they're deleted on each side on most of the lines. But apart from that it was perfect. Well done!

Kevalot-Darkstorm responds:

I'll try to fix the subtitles, thanks.

[Street Kids - Trailer]

Average trailer.

It was very short, but it was a trailer so i kind of expected it. The storyline looks very good and it gives you a good idea of what we are going to see in the near future when the full version is released. The sound quality wasn't the great, a few crackles here and there but not too many. It still needs a lot of work doing to it so i think you should probably increase your graphics and sounds before you submit the full version. Setting all the bad points aside, it was a nice enjoyable thing to watch, very pleasing.

Well done!

It was Ok

All in all it was a good movie, i liked the animation style you used and the voices were of professional quality, although not being very original. I liked the characters and you really got the voices and scripts to match what the characters should be. Storyline was pretty good and i must say i enjoyed it :) I think though, you should get some more original voices, that's the only downfall of this movie, but it's only a really small one because the rest of it outshines any problems really.

Well done!

Very nice. Nothing makes me happier than someone that enjoys what I do. I think he next project I will have to inquire for some extra help.

[WOS - Drones]

I didn't like it.

I didn't really like it, although, i must hand it to you that you animated it pretty well and you've obviously got some skills there. It's just not my type of thing. I don't like the whole idea of naming a day of the year after a group or something. It didn't really have that much point to it that i could see, and it kind of looked like you'd thrown a lot of dark idea's together and just put them into a short animation. The sound was quite bad and i don't like that it crosses to the other speaker for a bit. That godton my nerves. I don't really understand it that much and it's confusing so that's why i'm not particularly fond of it. I think if you put your animation into something with a plot it would work out good.

Good try!

[SM-Bring it all Back]

Great!

Although it's a short animation, it's done really well. The artwork is very impressive and i think you've really achieved something here. I like the fact that your flowers and grass looked as if they were inflatable, that really gave it a nice touch. The music however, not my personal favourite, S Club 7 :P Still, you made it decent quality which is more than i can say for a lot of submissions that get past the portal. I think you should re-submit this with more, which is what i think you're going to do already so that's good.

Well done! :)

RampageSun responds:

Thanks Stagnant The artwork and movements were all thanks to RaspberrySun I just help with the odds and ends of it.
Next one that I'll re submit will be full Version and wont cut off Like this and the part2 and Im looking forward to hear your review on out next one.

[holiday brainstorm]

Excellent!

I really liked this, the voices were very clear and i think you picked perfectly a voice to suit each character. I haven't seen anything in this style as well made as this was and you truly deserve the score you got. The graphics were great, very original yet not to detailed and complicated which really fits in. The lip synching was brilliant and you must've spent some time on that because it definately shows. I think you should make a second one, with the actual show in it maybe because then it'd really hit it off!

Well done!

[Guitar Heroes]

It was Alright.

It was an alright Flash, very well made but i think the whole idea was a little bit plain. To be honest, i don't think it's worth much if it's just two (very well drawn) blocks playing guitar for a while. There's not much expression going on and it doesn't seem to have much of an atmosphere. The guitar playing was brilliant though, i'll hand that to you. The blobs were well drawn too, i liked the shading and all the little detail you put in, that's worth a 9. But still, even with all of the good points it didn't fetch that much in my opinion as what a Flash really needs is a fairly good concept. I think you could make this better if you made them talk to eachother at one point or put some amps or crowd in there. Just to give it a bit more atmosphere you know?

[Blackhead]

Very nice!

I really loved it. Too be honest, the title gave me the hint it would be a really bad film, mainly because it's a parody and a lot of those aren't very well made at all. But this one is definately an exception of the highest quality. I loved the style of it, very old cartoony and somehow i just knew you'd put that looney tunes tune in the end there, great addition. Very well animated and the characters were very well drawn. It ran very smoothly and i'm impressed. I don't think the racist sign should've been put in there though, that was fairly un expected. I have no problem with a little bit of jokey racism here and there as i'm sure not many people do, it's just with the way the cartoon was going, i didn't expect it and i don't think this needed any suprises. But all in all it was a very good Flash!

Well done!

[Merry Christmas Card]

Original and good

I've never seen an idea like this before, very creative and original. It's obvious you've put some work into this and i like that in a Flash. I think you could've chosen a better music track, something more to do with Christmas perhaps, the sound quality however was great and i think that makes up for it. Graphics were smooth and well drawn and i like how you made the hand draw the decorations, the animation was smooth in that rather than being all choppy and looking like it is getting coloured in blocks. Preloader was nice, very proffesional and again, another original looking one. I think with your style you will go far in making Flash :)

Well done!
