chris-the-stick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Gladius]

great madness (day) tribute, with amazing+detailed drawings, good backgrounds, with fluid, fast-paced animation speed, and with a good story, with solid action!
what can i say?
its perfect!
i really liked how you drew their outfits/their helmets/their armour in general...
everything is nicely drawn, and flawlessly animated, with superb speed...
(whats your FPS speed? was it 30 FPS? also, did you used tweens or just FBF? if its just FBF, its amazing...)

all in all, great work, and a great tribute to madness (day).

keep up the good work! you are awesome

Diotoons responds:

Thanks! i've put a lot of effort in this animation so that's good to hear! the FPS was 30, and it's mostly fbf (: i'm glad you liked it

[Kitty]

hahahaha!
clever idea, nicely designed,drawn+nicely executed...
this was a very nice, fluid animation, with good visuals, a fresh idea, and with solid humour...
great work!
keep it up

personnotstudying responds:

Why, thank you! And for the ratings too!

[A Midsummer Night's Dream (Act 3, Scene 2)]

absolutely awesome retelling of the classic story, with magificent, fluid animation, nicely drawn characters, and with great animation speed.
i also liked the dynamic lettering, along with the actor's wild face expressions.

good job! you created a really nice movie!
keep up the good work, man.

OmegaFazer responds:

Thank you so much, It motivates me so much this kind of reviews :D

[last stop, love.]

a heartbreaking movie about jasons quest to catch the 18:00 train for utah, as he has to deliver a pack of aspirines for his best friend juster, who is suffering from a bad case of chronic migraines, a condition that haunts his days, and ruins his nights...
...and only jason can help him.
but will he catch the 18:00 train for utah?
thats the question.

great storytelling, mr zabu, great storytelling.
we have learned many things in here.

[Madness in Russia]

short, but OK...

nice animation, good action, and a cool idea.
just the fact that this movie isnt located in nevada, is a good start.
you should also draw snowing, frozen tundras, vast forests and high mountains in your backgrounds, in order to add more variety in your movie's enviroment...

also, the main character isnt hank, and thats great! (honestly, it is!), therefore, its cool to see the adventures of the nameless madness agent (whats his name? is it wolf?), as he fights the iron sentinels of madness...

the only problem is that the movie is too short. otherwise, it would've been perfect...
also, you should add a preloader, or a play/replay button...
loops are not very cool, and often people misinterpret some movies, when they are loops.
(even if they are good movies, like yours).

nice movie, original idea, and a cool battle scene to watch.
there's an alarming lack of feet in your characters, but thats OK, no big problem in here...
(as long as the animation is swift+with good fight scenes, you are good)

keep it up, you are cool.

MadnessWolf responds:

I understand your thoughts and began a new job , there certainly will be more likely .

[Animated Teaser 02: it’s mine]

beautiful, fast-paced, flawless animation.
it might be short, but its nicely animated, detailed, and very, VERY interesting...
the mans(?) face expression as (s)he is holding the dead woman is very shocking, since (s)he is smiling, and thats a very crazy/wild smile, i might add... :O

i also liked how the person's headband/ribbon flew away, and over the city, revealing to us the place of the tragedy, and thus marking the start of the epic drama...

great animation!
good drawings of the characters, flawless, detailed face expressions, and an interesting story as well!

this will be an epic manga story, if you will animate the whole thing.

keep it up, you are great!

ibrabdo responds:

thx man, what nice professional review wow, :D i'm developing the manga version, tho i like doing animation that why im doing an animated teaser around 1:30 min hopeing to get support somehow to make it a featured anime, it still early since i have a fulltime job along with freelance job, but trying to use whatever extra time i have to do so :) thx again

[Animated Teaser 01: killing me]

amazing FBF animation, with swift, relentless speed, good pace, and excellent details.
(GREAT drawings of the protagonists face, along with excellent animations+designs of the revolver...)
i have to ask: what FPS speed did you used?
and was this done in flash, or was it created with an other program?
i am most impressed by your amazing works, and even tho it was a short movie, i enjoyed every second of it.
im certain that your manga will be magnificent as well.
i see great potential in you, my good sir!
keep up the good work!!!

ibrabdo responds:

thx, i did animate it using flash, tho i guess i ll be using different software for cleanups and coloring plus the backgrounds going to be built in 3D and overpainted in photoshop and the whole thing will be packed and edited in aftereffect for post production, and using 24 FPS for FBF :)

[Minewars - New and familiar faces]

good animation, nice animation speed, and cool dialogue...

its nice that you added subtitles in the movie, it makes it even better...
even tho the subtitles text moves TOO fast, and therefore it makes it hard to read indeed...

perhaps it could be (a bit) slower, in order to match with the movie's pace... (just saying).

also, sorry if i say this, but the author's description should be written as:

''Be sure you've put your loyalty in the right place.

Because you never know who (is) going to betray you for their own reason(s)''

other than that, everything's perfect, and you are a very good minecraft animator.
good job!
keep it up!

ULTA-BEAST responds:

Thanks, and don't feel bad for posting criticism, it just helps people improve based on their mistakes.

[World time-lapse [TEST]]

its pretty good, nicely animated (with quick FPS!), and pretty cool, but it should have a preloader, or a play-replay button.
other than that, its a nice loop, and while i usually dont like loops, this one is really well-made...
good work!

SanderHD74 responds:

btw, can you help me? i don't really know how to make a pause button xD
i work in CS5, ActionScript 3.0

[DeMor's Tales - Chapter 1. KDM. (Episode 2)]

good concept, nice 3-D-like graphics, and cool animation overall, while the story is interesting as well. cool movie, keep it up! (and do more episodes of this series)
it seems really awesome, imho.

GregSargor responds:

Thanks, I will do my best!
