Mutation's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DogFight 2003]

Very Nicely Done

I can't even begin to imagine the amount of work you put into this, one thing's for sure though, I definitely respect that. And the music does indeed pwn, as halph-price says =P Great work, and hey.. maybe someday I could get close to your level of expertise =P

[WAN TAI LO episode 1]

What the hell..

Ok, 47th movie you said? I thought people's stuff was supposed to get BETTER the more experience they had? Quite frankly I'd hate to see the previous things you've done, for fear of my IQ dropping down to negative depths. Very racist, very stereotypical, AMAZING that it didn't have the whistle blown on it, and even more so that it's not been blammed. I aim to help with that, however.

How the HELL is this still on NG?

[Hey! Who took my pie?]

Oy.. the pain

Alright. Time for me long-arse criticising oh-my-god-why-did-you-make-this blamming review. *Takes a deep breath* Alright, step one out of many: change the background color. I know the Flash MX 2004 tutorial says picking a different background color other than white may make your movie more captivating, but that was just an ugly color. Sky blue should beused for skies, and those skies should have clouds... ANYTHING to break up the retina-wrenching montony of that god-awful pixel-killer. Number two: Get a decent microphone for your voice-acting. It was tinny, hard to understand without the words on-screen, and a bit fuzzy at times. Also, if you're going to voice act... don't use someone else's style. That's one big thing I noticed, it sounded quote like you were trying to mimic a very well-known style of voice+toon, as many who've visited albino blacksheep know of. Learn to be original, it will help you loads. Now, I did you one favor and sat through the preloader... which had that blue stage color as did the rest of the movie. I say rest of the movie in a relative term, because I stopped watching it after some point. If you're gonna submit to Newgrounds, make something that'll keep your audience's attention the whole way through. Don't worry, I'm almost done. Now, I know that the goofy-voice style works to make cartoon funny, doesn't it? Not for this. In the words of many a Newgrounds lame reviewer, "OMG THIS SUCKS." I honestly could not think of anything else to say about it... So, work on the humour, the sound, the style, the graphical appeal, and originality, and you might actually become a legend.

Two thumbs and a big toe

Sometimes things can be said best without saying anything at all. Great music, smooth animation, an original idea, and crisp artwork. If only there were more talent on NG so they could make stuff as good as THIS when they were bored too. You've got a real knack for this, keep it up.

[Idiots Anonymous - ep. 1]

Let's start from the top, shall we...

Ok, helpful hint number 1: Originality is about using your OWN brain to think up ideas that OTHER PEOPLE would find funny. Not ripping off someone else's comedic routine and trying to poorly pass it off as your own. That's called plagiarism, bud. Helpful hint number two: Dont have the microphone inserted into your mouth when you do the voice-acting. That's a REAL big cause of low-quality, noise-filled sound bites. Helpful hint number THREE, this is the big one when you're going to make a VISUAL presentation: Put some sodding effort into your drawings. I know you may be on the computer, but that's no reason not to try a little harder. I do realize that it's called "Idiots Anonymous" and the people are supposed to look stupid, but not poorly drawn. This is Newgrounds, mate, make something you'd be proud to show off. Not something that people wouldn't even use as an emergency if they ran out of toilet paper. Ready for the next helpful hint? Number four: If you are going to submit a flash entry into the "Funny" section, something that might really help you is to try and be FUNNY. That's important. Now, Newgrounds doesn't have a "Weak and inanely stupid humour" section on their site for a good reason: People hate that stuff. Get the hampster-wheel in your head turning and come up with some real jokes. Alright, now that's cleared up. Sorry it took so long, but I thought it important to explain myself, rather than just give you a 0 and say "OMGZ THIZ IZ S0 CRAPP!!!1!1!oneone." My advice for your next portal submission: Put some sodding effort into it. Good day.

[Broken Saints CH 18 ACT 1]

Wow

That was pretty great. Not many take the time to make something that provokes thought, they just expect you to sit there and be told what everything is. The music score in this really helped with the total ambience of the piece, along with the art of the charaters and surrounding environment. Great work.

[Gummi Razorblades]

lmfao

Usually something like this people would expect to be really stupid and inane... but this was brilliant! Just goes to show that a good idea is a good idea as long as there's a great mind behind it =P Great work
