Soapbubble's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Redesign Evo]

I take it you don't like the redesign, then.

Zachary responds:

I actually love it.

[A Smash Bros Christmas]

It's all right.

Your style is all right, not the best I've seen with not too much detail, but at least you've got the coloring and shading pretty well done. Your animations are pretty cool, smooth with not the worst tweens and fbf work.

Voices could do with a lot of work, though. They don't sound sincere, and the quality isn't the best. I somewhat like the idea, but I feel the execution isn't the best. Some fine-tuning is what it needs IMO.

[Well hello, Redesign!]

I have come to expect a bit more from the SS. I guess I should stop that. I couldn't agree more though, the new design does look pretty nice.

Little-Rena responds:

I can do better but I haven't had much time, so I threw this together to try out the project system! Not to mention, the first SS flash wasn't great, lol.

[Redesign Rage]

I can't decide whether this means you've had a lot of stress working around it and will eventually love it, or if you simply hate it.

Or if you're overly constipated and is about to blow up as a result. I heard that can happen if you don't eat right.

[SS - Fuck World Trade]

I had no idea ThreeStar was a chick. I guess you could say I learned something today.

But honestly, you could at least have removed the website URL of that plane sample you took out.

[Lazy Writing 2]

I did not expect that.

Great little flick here, love your style. The graphics are hilarious, with these minor details you wouldn't always notice like what's on the board behind the Professor. The voicing is awesomely done, great quality and the voices fit perfectly for the characters.

For a little skit this is great. Would love to see more like this on NG.

[contrast: a love story]

Touching.

It's weird how such a simple and short flick can say so much about the creator and invoke so many feelings in the ones watching it.

Though the entire theme of black and white and contrasts between two people in love had been done over and over again, I can say I've never seen anyone go about it the way you did. The fact that two dragons can't touch, and ending up setting himself on fire and killing himself to get to his love is really something. Very touching.

The audio used is IMO not the absolute best you could, though I guess that is dependant on whoever watches this. It was emotional, I just don't feel it the same way others probably do.

Horsenwelles responds:

the audio was a lat minute find, but i thought it fit pretty well. thank you so much for a very descriptive review!

[The Christmas Party]

So catchy.

This is still a pretty common song on the stereo whenever I go drinking. Love it.

Your graphics are fairly simple, but I like them. As for your animation, though they are a bit choppy, they still work out just fine. Audio is very well done, and the entire movie is quite funny.

[Fluttershy's lovely song]

Unexpected

I did not see that one coming.

Creative, nice graphics and animations, and of course, it's pretty damn funny. My biggest, and only, complaint, is that the audio quality is really bad. Some might say it fits better, but I just find it a bit annoying when I can't make out anything that's being... yelled.

[Missed the Bus]

Decent

Not bad, but there are naturally improvements.

The character is all right, but I'd love to see longer flicks with her. And a... deeper character, if I can put it like that, at least more of a personality.

The animations are all right, a bit choppy, and not very natural. That said, with the style of your graphics, I don't think it needs to look natural, it's all supposed to be a bit silly. Would love to see more texture, shading and lighting added though.

Make it longer, too.

SmashX5000 responds:

She'll be given more character as time goes on. There wasn't really much I could do to expand on her character traits in this one. Perhaps it would've been better as a second or third episode. Regardless, I do plan on expanding on her character more, though for these shorts at least she'll be mute.

I will continually try to improve the animation in future episodes too, as well as make episodes longer. This was my first real flash project, so there was sure to be some stuff I messed up on. It'll look more natural (hopefully) in future episodes, while retaining a cartoony feel.

As far the last 3 things, don't really expect much textures in it. I prefer, with cartoons anyways, to work with mostly solid colors. Lighting and Shading may be in some bigger animations, but for this series in particular, I'm not sure if future episodes will include it.

Thanks for the critique.
