Zyphonee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[luis takes a shit.]

This ain't spam, this is actually funny.

Great animation, I'll give you that, I don't think there would've been a way to make this funny if it hadn't been animated in the way this was done, the face expressions were just priceless and the way the backgrounds were done specially simbolizes the concept the movie follows. Probably the best part has to be Luis's face when he's about to punch the kitty in the balls, that reminded me a lot of SimonG's style, but of course, there were a couple of obvious flaws that really don't need to be pointed out. Good job, good one.

[L4D Short: Starring Louis]

Urgh...

I would really want to point out that, if you're aiming for this style of flash, you really have to focus on the animation a lot, to make up for the plot, or the lack of one but on this flash, I was expecting something interesting to happen, but it turned out to be a mediocre animation with a lineal and straight foward idea.

The movement of the characters was just the body parts for the characters tweened around to simulate what should've been done with a little bit of effort, but did nothing but a horrible, horrible attempt of making it slip by. I really recommend you leave sticks and bitmap tracing behind, since it does nothing but reduce the quality of the movie. Probably the worst part of the animation is how you tried to do first person view and just transformed the gun to try to make it look like it was really in front of the character, please don't do that, the gun really got flattened out and looked beyond terrible.

You shouldn't use the voices from the game, instead, getting a couple of voice actors seems like the best idea, since the dialogue was unrealistic at best:
-How you're doing
-I don't even know
-Awesome
-I owe you a big one
-Hey, no problem.

In the game, all the different options are scripted, so if Player 1 uses a dialogue option from the "Thanks" selection, Player 2 will respond with an option from "You're welcome", but they're all randomized and aren't something somebody pays attention to, but here, the whole ending, which is supposed to be the most memorable part of the flash, revolved around a badly written sentence.

Good luck with improving your flash... I guess.

StealthBeast responds:

Yeah, I guess the motion mechanics of the characters are rough around the edges if you pause, zoom in 5x, and right-click forward for an hour... Otherwise, they're fine and I disagree with your negativity concerning their fluidity.

Admittingly, the first person guns were only ever intended to be placeholders. In the rush to complete the project for its deadline, I ended up having to keep them as the finished product. Later however, when I had time to work on it at home, I didn't bother upping them (I was kind of attached to them). So yeah, I guess that's a lazy mistake on my part. Very minute... especially considering the simple art style.

Your voice actor's recommendation tells me you've never actually ever worked with voice actors lol... It's not some cutsy little process to be done in a spare afternoon... The difficulty in finding them, the interviews, the problems, the breaks in contact, the time zone differences, the technicalities, the credit distribution, and the delays... it's the biggest flippin' hassle ever. If I were to do that, I would do it for a long animation (4+ minutes), or a series... Not for the last 3 seconds of a short tribute.

Perhaps if you had some distinct experience in flash, I could take your attempt at a depthy criticism more seriously... But judging by your flash, you are, "Okay" at best, and cocky as it may sound, not in my league, therefore I can only take what you say with a grain of salt.

Listen to your reviewer "HolyKonni" on your flash, Paper flow. Don't work at a framerate you can't handle.

[Zimmi EP 1]

Beautiful.

This movie is great, from the very icon itself, I knew this would be, and luckly, I was right. Aestethically, it had it's flaws, but the bright colors and the texture applied to the whole movie made me totally not care. At times, I didn't quite like how there was just a movieclip with a walking cycle tweened from onw side to the other of the screen to buid up some time, or how, to give a more concrete example, how his hand, clearing the sweat that could be animated easily, were replaced by a tween. Else than that, there was some great animation and your art style is just beautiful.
The way the lip sync was a movie clip of the mouth opening and closing was actually enjoyable, as it helped build up the whole Storybook style that the voice actor kept and used perfectly.

Great work, I really expect to see more episodes of this!

Rutger responds:

The hand couldn't be animated that easily, since it was like 50 frames, which is quite a lot fbf.
But I must admit, I'm a pretty lazy person.

[Luis Day Collab]

Oh Fluff...

Ocean's part really killed me, best shit ever.

fluffkomix responds:

isn't he the greatest?

[Scentence]

Oh shiet!

We'll dive in the insides of writing mistakes, into an adventure.

[Culture Clubbing]

Perfect. Just that.

It's really been a long time since I ever saw a movie that I could not point a single flawed aspect of it, and when the anime sequence started playing, I knew this'd be one of them, the sense of humor in the series has always been something I enjoyed a lot, and with the animation, it makes a great cartoon.
The character design is flawless, from the positioning of the characters and planes in the anime clip to the characters, and I love how the outline in the characters is thicker that the rest of the linework, which gives it a 90s cartoon vibe.

"Before you start debating American cultural tolerance and flaming me for slightly ribbing anime, keep in mind that unless you believe that I think that Menudo is actual a plot by Puerto Rican dissident leftists to takeover America, don't believe I agree with other stuff that comes out of the Captain's mouth."

At last somebody understands me.

[10 Reasons]

We are never happy.

Allow me to give you 10 stars.

HolyKonni responds:

Allowed, zyph!

[The SuperHero Collab]

A bit dissapointing

To be honest, the first part was the only one that I could enjoy, the rest of them seemed like they had little to no effort into them, maybe except for Kibbl3's, sleeeeeep's and RedHarverst's part, but besides from that, most parts were REALLY bad, mediocre graphics or/and bad animation.
None of them really made me laugh, of course refering to the ones that were supposed to be a joke, because they were just an old joke or some unfunny pun. The ones that were not supposed to be funny should've been focused on animation, but the had the same problem, they were terribly animated, except for makeshift's part, that one had awesome animation and swell illustrations. In short? It's like searching for a gold ring in a garbage can.

Makeshift responds:

Thanks for the review. Everyone has opinions :)

[Batman: Bright Day]

Quiiiiite orgasmic.

Dang, this is some of the best voice impresionation I've heard in a long while. I like how you made the whole characters with a more detailed program and then did the lip sync with flash. Totally honest though, it doesn't really seem like a whole movie or a time consuming project, but more like a one week or less work, but it was entertaining nonetheless, and I would love to see more movies here on Newgrounds that are mostly done in Photoshop or Painter or whatever this was done. Good work, Diggedy.

HotDiggedyDemon responds:

1 week? more like 1 hour, lawl
