falling's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the Last of the Dashkin]

exquisite

The imagination here is stupendous. This series is definitely a stamp on animation as a whole. I mean that full heartedly.

As for this particular episode, it could have done without the voice over. And when I say that I am in no way putting down that aspect, but simply applauding the imagery.

It takes skill to tell a story as descriptive as this without words. And it was done beautifully. The voice was icing on the cake.

I pray you continue to sweep me away in this world for a long time to come :)

The livelihood of 2D animation as a mainstream source of theater entertainment is slowing immensely, with it's future held significantly within the hands of Disney's new film, the Princess and the Frog bleh blah bleh.

But if this were to go into a major motion picture experience, with it's imagery, story telling, originality, and everything else included, it could blow it out of the water.

As for originality

I read your post on the flash msg board.

I see how you were trying to, I suppose, go with what came to mind. The concept being just that, what was going though your head. Traveling, haha!

I feel as if you may need to broaden your range of experimenting to include some other medians. Experience some more internally and in the nature of society, nature etc.

Because basically, it looks like you copied some random clips from David Firth and mixed em around a bit. Quite a blow to your originality concept. The best thing to do of course, is to keep on truckin' and developing, and maybe try creating the very thing opposite of what you normally would. Because save for the scribble of flashing words, this felt like imitation at it's heart. Not to be discouraging. And not to sound holier then thou either...

Just my immediate thoughts after seeing this. I may have gotten a little too deep there. :o

CyberHysteria responds:

I felt very limited to time and rushed this process, and I can certainly agree with you certainly about exploring more medians. That was the more powerful feeling it lacked when I press CRTL-ENTER.

After watching it I also realized without definitely knowing that I take alot of inspiration from David Firth and copied some of his clips. (im annoyed you noticed this)

I felt I could do better but at least at this moment I have something to work from.

As I believe everyone needs a little something to work from.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

[The Last Gift]

glorious

I really believed this was a religious based cartoon, which although I didn't like the idea of, was still planning on rating it based on content. The set up was grand :)

[Super Mario bros Z ep.8 (old series)]

Fight Scene Awesome Sauce

Applause applause for being 8 episodes in and keeping fresh fight scenes for each one. This had the best for sure. Honestly, some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen anywhere ever!

Very exciting. Loved the references to Star Trek, Starfox, etc.

I rarely give a 10/10
These do get better and better <3

[Grandma's Cheese]

why

Why would you ever make something like this?

O_O

The best part was the replay button.

[Microcosm]

brilliant

That idea was brilliant. A 2D matrix, and breaking the 4th wall? A ten just for the theme alone. :)

[Yupokeo]

boot

I just want to see the boot of questionable existence again. That was unexpected and awesome.

[Resident Evil 4play: Ep3]

joke virginity?

That's a joke I've seen people touch lightly. But no one would ever take it because it seems so obvious. I don't know if I liked it or not D:

Good job though, you managed to create a scary ish enough atmosphere in the beginning, which set up the humor nicely :p

[Brawl Funnies [Dick 2]]

here and there

Some of the humor was nearly brilliant. At other times, just dumb.

:p
