NegativeONE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zyn:1]

Pretty cool stuff

Looks like you've been influenced by Synj and Adam Philips based on your style and choices, but that's just a guess. Your main character reminds me of one of my own, so I had a fondness for him. Hopefully he wasn't really dashed away, but I guess I'll find out for sure in the next installment.
Simple graphics, but not ugly. Major points for frame by frame animation and creative characters. I'll keep an eye out for later work.

Brilliant, as always.

I don't throw around this many tens very often at all. But as I'm sure you'll hear from herds of fans - this animation deserves it. While I'm still more impressed with Prowlies at the River, this is a proud addition to the series, showing no slouch in any area of production. The music fits like a glove, the presentation is perfect, and I'd be hard pressed to find a cut corner in the graphics. There are so many effective perspective shots, and the use of shading and highlights accomodates every scene so well, too. The Brackenwood world is really starting to flesh out. So much creativity. I've got a new animation to add to my favorites list.

Stolen?

No preloader, submitted with incorrect dimensions, ends abruptly, different style and much higher quality than your other subs. Seems like you leaked someone else's WIP.

Amazing animation

Great high-quality frame by frame work mixed with very detailed backgrounds. The music didn't appeal much to me, but well suited the animation itself. Looking forward to more.

[Valhalla Knights]

Pretty incredible

A vast improvement on your old stuff, I think it's safe to say. I like the predominance of frame by frame, although there were a couple of points where the entire body was noticeably tweened. It's a nice way of filling in subtle movements, yeah, but one must be careful not to take it to excess. Could have been longer, but given the work and constant action, that would be a marathon effort, so max grats, all the same. Looking forward to your later work.

Heheh, neat

I noticed the name DanAbnormal on the portal and wondered if it was a Blur reference. With the Best-Of styled avatar of yourself, and Blur under your favorite bands, I figured so. Then, looking at the dropdown of your other movies, I saw Intermission and thought it might use Blur's tune of the same name. Sure enough. As one of Blur's few non-lyrical songs, it inspired me to animate as well, though I hadn't actually put together any sort of plan as to how to use it. Just that it would have to get gradually more frantic as the song does. This is obviously the same mindset you had, and it was carried out fairly well. A little more variety would have been nice, but meh.

Kind of a coincidence, I was listening to Resigned, off of the same album when I came across this.

[COE Adventures 1]

Misleading name

With a name with FameByFrame, there's a definite implication that I'm going to see some nice frame by frame work. No sir. Ugly tweens. It isn't bad, but your alias is verrry misleading. Some of the sounds in the animation were also really shrill and loud compared to everything else. Should try to normalize your sounds to a similar volume. At any rate, there's some potential here. Just try to move away from cliches and perhaps develop of frame by frame style and live up to the expectations brought forth by your name.

[PEACETANK]

Good to see you back in the scene

Fun concept, smooth animation, nice style. I like it. If it were longer and more involved, I'd give a 9 or a 10. After a long busy streak, it's nice to see you producing Flash for Newgrounds again. Sorry I haven't been terribly active on the forums, but I'm still caught up in mine. Also, half my computer melted. I'll be around again soon.

[Square Beanz]

Haha, I liked that

The humour was fresh, that's what I liked most about it. It was nice how the music and color choice juxtaposed against the style of humour. The only thing I would suggest changing is the lack of a preloader and play button.

[Freak: Episode 2]

It takes a lot to override my bias against 3-D

But you've done it, Marco ;) As I've said throughout beta viewing, this is indeed one of the best of its kind, if not the definitive best 3-D graphics Flash on Newgrounds. Much attention to detail (few will notice things like the rain on the roof :P). And Ice Wolf did great with the voices, as per usual. All the work will hopefully pay off for you.

Evil-Dog responds:

thanks man! I appreciate your feedbacks and your work too, one of the few dedicated people I know
