IvoryGuy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Origin of the Hair]

Wow

Fantastic artwork and animation, especially for somebody who's never had prior training before. After seeing the portal flooded with more stick fights and Final Fantasy parodies than I care to remember, it's very refreshing to watch a piece as meticulously written and crafted as this one. Decent pencil-and-paper animations don't show up often on the Internet, and it's even more rare to find one with an interesting and humorous story to go with it.

My only gripe was with the sub-par sound quality (a shame, since the voice acting was top-notch). If you're planning on doing more of these, you've got to buy one which lessens background interference. Some backgrounds wouldn't hurt, as well.

Overall, great job. It'd be nice to see more of these in the Portal.

NoComicsComics responds:

Thanks, another great review. I do plan on getting a program so that I may add backrounds (with out one, I'd have to trace backround stuff for every frame, and that would be impossible). As for the sound I really wish I could have used a better mic, but I just can't afford it. First comes the program, then I buy a better mic. Thanks again.

STOLEN!

You thought no one would notice, didn't you? Well, it so happens I visit SFDT and have already seen this movie. The original version is by David Newell-Porter (whose name you left in the credits, dumbass), can be seen here: www[DOT]sfdt[DOT]com[SLASH]flash[SLASH]movies[SLASH]8947[DO

Everyone, please send an e-mail to wade@newgrounds[DOT]com about this stolen movie. Or just blow the whistle, and show the above URL in the reason. Thank you.

Hey, how about I put MY name into the ending because I submited it. Dumbass

[Stick War The Movie]

Mediocre

The movie itself wasn't actually too bad, but the fact that you used straight pieces of wood as the characters made it far worse than it should have been. Furthur feeding my hate was that you said you were "pretty damn good for your age." Let me tell you something: Tweens are not at all difficult to make movies with. You didn't even use any motion guides or easing, just straight-up tweens. I've seen people younger than you do better, believe it or not. Learn how to do frame-by-frame, and you'll probably get something good soon. At the very least, you have an excellent sense of dramatic timing. But that, unfortunately, does not make up for your lackluster artisitic talent. And after watching this, I can safely say that my hatred for all-tweened movies burns with the fury of a thousand suns.

Nice!

Excellent work! Very imaginative, but please input a working preloader next time--I almost stopped watching because I thought that was it.

Urcleman responds:

lol, I am sorry about the preloader. I grabbed it from a flash project of my brother's not knowing that the loading bar was black in his. Due to that, the bar didnt show up in mine, having a black background :(... Thanks for sticking through til the end! :)
