ShortMonkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LOVEBLIMP]

OMG SO HOT

Great for first animation and plus, the concept is great! <3

WritersBlock responds:

<3
I knoes! I can't believe the idea of peace-keeping hippie blimp hadn't been done before!

Happy hippie-love day.

[Bench]

Great Animation

Great Animation, great art, music went well. Great work! But, it was very short and pointless. Why don't you make a music video, a short with a small story or anything more interesting with those great skills of yours and get a sexy award?

Good work!

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

I have done that. Like 30 or 40 times now. I'm pretty tired of doing that.

[YoinK's Newgrounds]

Great

You sound like a tough WWE superstar. Good stuff.

YoinK responds:

oh thanks, I try to sometimes.

[The DarKsidE of Flash!]

It saddens me...

...that this Flash has gotten a higher score than most flashes out there that are much better and have had genuine effort put in. I don't think there is much of a point reviewing this because I doubt you put any effort in it and even want comments for this shit.

Congratulations in advance for your extra high batting average for you to gain next Clock Day... or will you try to get a batting average the fair way?

And don't say it's not your fault that it got a high score, we all know you submitted it on Clock Day for a reason...

DarKsidE555 responds:

It's teh internet, get over it kid! :)

Kthx!

Oh and btw...SBB and myself are MUSICIANS, we don't care where this "flash" goes.. ;)

[Walking Cycle]

Boring

Well... it's a walk cycle. Yes, a very good walk cycle but still, just a walk cycle. I don't know if it was common for people to submit stuff like this back in '02 but even if it was, I can't give it a good score.

Everything, visually, in this was great, but there was only one thing.

Maybe you should have made it walk in a town and have some events happen. I'm assuming you don't do Flash anymore and I won't disagree with your decision. Your still images in Photoshop are great and much better than this.

Shaun responds:

Such an indepth review for something that took 5 minutes.

[Spaced Out Ep. 1]

Funny

Funny, graphics could be a bit more interesting, they were kinda plain. Great lipsyncing, great script, voice quality could be better... I'm actually starting to wonder if the voices are fine, but you don't know this trick in Flash:

File > Publish Settings > Flash > Stream Settings - and set it to 112kbps for better sound quality on streaming.

Maybe you could've used some better text like some pixelated text instead of boring arial or whatever you used.

I really enjoyed this and I think you guys did a great job!

RSQViper responds:

Yah, the plainness was there since this was originally two seperate shots in my SUnday Comics and Toons. Had to make each part inside a week. The Voice Quality is run thru a synthesizer to actually MAKE that sound, though. hehe. That's why there are subtitiles.

The issue with this movie's sound is that nothing WAS stream. Well, it WAS, but not in the traditional sense. Since the movie was originally with a lot of clips of other people's (collab I ran) all sounds had to be put into movie-clips to keep them from appearing in the wrong place or even other people's clips (I have since found a better way to deal with this), so the sound here may get a little funny at times because of it.

As for the text, I picked something easy to read. Pixelated is good-looking, but reading isn't as easy for some. Also, it was Comic Sans MS. So neener neener!!! =p

I'm also making another one of these. This is a set of a series. Like, I'll make a few short series using these guys. This is a 1 of 3 part series, then there may be another story that takes a few parts at another time. The graphics will be a LOT better. Just check out some of my earlier news posts and you'll see the HUGE difference!

Thanks for reviewing!

[TANKMEN 2]

Amazing!

That was amazing... just, the guy with a helmet on sounded like he was supposed to be Australian... if that was the case, Australians play a different type of football... very different. Otherwise, this was hilarious and done really well! Great job!

JohnnyUtah responds:

yes...i know.

but hey! its the future anything can happen!

[Whisper: The Movie]

Great Flash

This flash is great and deserves a lot more than it has... it has an accurate score but needs an award and more reviews. 10/10

Night-Ranger responds:

Thanks dude! I wish it had a reward but it's entry score wasn't that high and kinda passed through without much recognition.

[007 : Golden Gadgets]

Sweet

Pretty funny, good graphics... the voices need work on quality though.

YoinK responds:

thanks shortmonkey

[Nuclear Freddy 2]

Haha!

That was fricken awesome! Great concept, great animation and great illustration. Keep it up man... lol, loved the ending.

BritishMoose responds:

Thank you very much monkey :D I'm really pleased with the response to the style I was trying out. Stay tuned buddeh, there'll be more on the way!
