PapaLongLegs's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[We Are Science Probes]

In flash!

In flash go to file> publish settings. Then choose the flash tab and change the audio to stereo 128kbits, this will greatly increase your sound quality!

[Dreamscape]

I totally agree with the guy down below

To quote:

"This movie was... mediocre, at best. While you obviously have a good deal of skill using these programs, I feel as though there was very little creative process in creating this. It felt like a high school girl trying to be artsy by drawing colorful flowers and trees so her friends could tell her how good of an artist she was. Poor work, Mr. Gamecubicle."

This felt... needless, there was a total lack of narrative. Its almost as if this is just a showcase of what you can do rather than a short film, and as such it doesn't really please an intelligent audience much- In other words, this is all fair and well but lets see you put these skills to some use

GAMECUBICLE responds:

The concept indeed came from wanting to incorporate the things I can do into one movie. I wanted to make dreamlike flight through all kinds of animation, so that is what I did. But thanks for your honest opinion.

[FBF vs. Tween]

great stuff

Fight the good fight against tweening, boo tweens! Although the barman was tweened...

["The Waterman Movie"]

I suggest...

I suggest you bring your animation and writing skills up to scratch before committing to anything feature length

[Legend of the BlackBook 1]

Its not 2003 anymore

Dated visuals, awful sound and a boring generic script. Stop using tweens and get onto some frame by frame, this will greatly improve your directing capabilities. Zoom and pan just don't cut it to keep interest for longer than 1 minute.

Toonwerks responds:

Response by th1rt3en: There are actually a few sequences that use symbols in a frame-by-frame manner with tweening used as actually inbetweening (the walk and run cycles for instance). Other motions are disconnected and required tweens to be broken up until they were mostly keyframes at times (such as arms).

As far as zooming and panning are concerned, I do that a lot. I mimic an actual, physical camera all the time in my animations. Rack focuses, parallax effects, pitch, yaw, roll, etc. I much prefer a dynamic canvas. (And I loath AS-cams.)

We're certainly going to put more of these things into the next parts, now that we've had the practice working with each others' skills. But ultimately, our main focus wasn't trying to amaze you with top-notch, frame-by-frame, animation. We're trying to tell a story, visually, and that requires more than just making fluid movement in drawings.

cool

This is exactly why we need a video player here on newgrounds. Or at least a larger filesize limit!

[Metal Gear Brotha]

Was expecting more

This was well directed but both graphics and story were lacking. From the title I was expecting some kind of comedic play on black culture

PostTimeskipSam responds:

I will say the character design is pretty old and have improved since, but I'm still working on my background design. Appreciate the review and a title change would have been better.

[Rehab For Fictional Char.]

Pretty bad

You got on the front page because of the strength of the music. Which you didn't have any input on so Bo Burnham got front page, not you.

The animation was bad to decent

[Rebalanced]

Stickmen fighting...

Never seen anything like that before. It even has maces, swords, fire and the matrix soundtrack, totally original!

Stone-Steven responds:

needs more cockjokes! I know, I know :)

[WGJ4K: Game Chat]

haha

looks like godzilla cat shit kingcub2 up.

A lot of people don't seem to be getting this but I knows its funny as hell, you people need to sort yourselves out,

and by the way, TheCrimsonKite, you're an idiot, The Metal Gaer bit was a piss take, to show just how rubbish game parodies are, that bit wasn't meant to be funny and yet you say it was "the only decent part", what a goon
