ShaolinDave's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SMB: Game Over (1up)]

devoid of any point

the jokes were pretty much pointless.

ha ha, bowser walks off cliff. fun-ny... (yawn)

the sound was done well and for a sprite movie it was well put together. i'm surprise that there was no clever plot to go along with that.

who's giving all these great reviews? friends of the author i guess?

Yoshi-1up responds:

cool

[Mario Mania]

alright for a beginner

i'm not going to trash your effort, but i do think you have a long way to go. before you start your next movie, i'd suggest going by a bookstore and picking up a how-to guide on using flash (they probably cost about $40) and brush up on some different techniques. it looks like to animated the entire movie frame-by-frame, which is time-consuming, a memory eater, and has less-than-par outcome. look into spleening, animating each sprite by itself, and actionscript. also, when working on your next movie, try to incorporate an actual plot and write everything out before you start. the project will turn out a lot better than if you just make it up as you go along.

Glunnator responds:

Nowai, I don't want guides xD
Brushing up on techniques is exactly what the idea was with this is the first place - there has to be a step up from zero, right? :3

Oh, and plots and storyboards hate me, in flash. Dunno why.

[Animator vs. Animation]

incredible

very rare that a stick animation can be incredibly good. this it among the best flashes i've seen, stick or not.
keep it up.

[FF-Clerks]

decent idea, delivery needs work though

the 'press whatever to continue' is annoying in any 'movie'.
the backgrounds could've used more work/detail. you got a ff screen captrue that wasn't very fitting since dante usually woke up in his bedroom. the store could've used screen caputres from the movie maybe?
also it would've been funnier dubbed. not like you'd need that many voice actors.

[Clerks Cartoon 1]

just a copy. and a crappy one at that.

how in the world did this get scored this high?
okay, so you recorded the sound clip from the show, didn't modify it in any way, and then tried to draw the animation to look EXACTLY like what the original show looked like, but wound up with a mediocre version of what we've already seen on the dvd. what the crap?
the only thing keeping this from being an copy is your lack of animating skill.

SpaceMonkeyMafia responds:

This is something I made to help me learn to animate. No need to be a dickhole about it. Wait... ya know what?
I'll quote an earlier response:

*points to author's comments*

No shit. We've established that.
Moving on.

[Kanye West: Hurricane]

yeah that's just about right

i think the people bashing this ani havn't seen the actual footage. kayne west taking advantage of this disaster just to get his own propoganda out is just lame. the accusations that the state of martial law in new orleans is an excuse to commit genocide is just ridiculous, offensive, and entirely fabricated. kanye is no better than the waste of sperm and egg looting NO now. they saw the hurricane has opportunity to steal for their own gain. kanye saw this hurricane as an opportunity to draw attention to himself to force his political conspiracy theories into mainstream media. he deserves as much shit as we can give him. good job ZF.
