AkhkharuZI's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life in Motion]

Very good

that was a very smooth frame by frame.

that must have taken a very long time,
and the quality is excellent.

keep up the good work!

[The best stick movie ever]

hmmm

since you english is bad... I'll translate.
while the use of three dimensional camera panning is neat, using it in a stick movie is pointless. stick figures do not make good 3D subjects. the fighting was innacurate, I have spent alot of time learning both karate and kung fu, and your fight seen was very innacurate. the animation was a bit choppy as well. I don't mean to bash your animation, it was good for a stick movie. keep animating, and work on your weak points.

Terwijl het gebruik van drie#dimensionaal fototoestel panning keurige is, heb gebruik, dat het in een stok film is zinloze. stok vormen maakt goede 3D onderwerpen. het vechten innacurate niet was, ik alot van tijd uitgegeven, die zowel karate als kung fu leert en je gezienen gevecht was heel innacurate. de animatie een beetje choppy beter was. Ik beteken te dreun je animatie, het goed voor een stok film. kost niet was te bezielen en doorwerkten aan je tekortkoming.
norwegian
Mens bruken av tre-dimensjonalt fotoapparat panning er ordentlig, er bruk som det i en stokkfilm meningsløs. stokkfigurer ikke lager god 3D emner. slåssingen var innacurate, I brukt alot av tidslæring både karate og kung fu, og Deres bekjemper sett var meget innacurate. animasjonen var en bit choppy også. Jeg betyr ikke til bash Deres animasjon, det var god for en stokkfilm. beholder opplivning, og bearbeider Deres svakheter.

[Samus and Megaman Part 2]

Pretty good

I can tell that a lot of hard work went into this movie, and it was a pretty good piece of work, but there are some things that need fixing that will improve your following movies a great deal.
1) sound.
a) the music for this vid was very similar, and all had very high tempos. music should accent the current event in the movie, not be like a fight scene throughout the entire movie.
b) the voices were very unclear, and the quality was very low. it would pay to practice with your mic to get better quality, and have the actors read their scripts a bit, the voice acting wasn't exactly top-notch.

2) many of the BGs and characters in your movies were very well drawn, such as samus and the police cars. however, your movies would be much better if the difference in art quality between characters wasn't so pronounced. it became distracting.

3) the biggest issue: animation. tweening is not everything, even though it makes animating much easier, it makes the movie look very unrealistic. tweens are great, but just like anything else, too much can spoil your work. (plus, the more advanced animation techniques look really cool ;)

sorry to be so critical, but being an artist myself, I know that the most helpful review is one that helps you to see flaws you didn't notice in your work.

overall, this was a good movie, and you should continue the series. keep up the good work.

good

I'm very impressed that you drew this with your off hand... but it all poses one very serious question......

why didn't you just configure your mouse to be left handed???

if you did it on purpose, good job, but i am very curious to know if you did do it on purpose, so please respond ;)

[Plastic Hammer Episode 1]

well, it's nice to see that.

It's nice to see a movie about 40K.
I have played for many years now. It's interesting to see them 'playing by the rules' instead of fighting like the storyline, and fan fics show.

btw, what are three space marines doing fighting 40 orks? that's
45points for the marines
and about
400 points for the orks...
if you went by the story line, the marines would have won! :)

work on your animation next time

[Cutethulhu]

Wow...

I have to say, I am amazed.
I have never seen anime style animation of that quality on newgrounds before! I do some, and I know how hard it is.
Also, the voice overs were excellent!
and to top it all off, as a lovecraft fan, the storyline was supurb.
if your willing, email me at [e-mail], I'd love to know how you do it!

touched responds:

I freely demonstrate my methods at conventions that I attend, but it would be better if you learnt from the same sources I did. I highly recommend the books "Flash 5 Cartooning" by Mark Clarkson and "Macromedia Flash Animation & Cartooning: A Creative Guide" by Ibis Fernandez.

[VampireHunter Ina 2]

interesting...

The movie was interesting, I must admit, but for all those people out there who like vampires, don't watch the movie. The story goes against almost all vampire legends.

The Graphics sorta made up for this though, it was drawn and animated well. It's just that a vampirologist such as myself has a hard time dealing with the story ;)

I gave this an 8 because of the work, and quality art put into the movie.

[Qi]

Damn...

That was absolutly breathtaking.
I believe this is the best animation job I have ever seen in flash, in the hundreds of movies I have seen.
Keep up the good work!
