Zyphonee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flee Get Down]

You know what's fun?

Right click > Play > Foward to see the frames one by one. It's a really sweet work, and I like how the momentum lines create the complement the lack of inbetweens that "Get Down" videos are known for. What I do recommend you do is that you up a bit more the smoothing and use the brush tool, the squigly lines looks nice on rough sketches, but when it comes to a complete drawing, it's a huge eyesore.

[Sprite-A-Rant]

Harsh, but true.

Well, I think you people are making a huge fucking deal out of it. Yes, the SAD series are, in fact, sad, but I don't think awards are all that important. I think that being good at something doesn't imply having a natural talent, but having a passion for it and putting effort into improving every day. I have had one daily award stolen by a SAD submission, but I don't think I should care, after all, I just use flash as my medium of expression, and by going apeshit insane because somebody steals an award for !n73rn375 F4M0rZ is actually caring about being famous on a website where nobody really knows you. At least to me, these awards are just useless, and if the guys who make Sprite-A-Day care so much about getting an award as it pisses you off, it's just the same. Please excuse me, this is not meant to be a personal offense against you, or anything like that, but I'm just giving my opinion.

On the other hand, the animation was really well done, as well as the audio and voicing. I liked the coloring and shading quite a lot. Oh, and I think it'd be better if you smoothed the brushes a bit more.

[//Shut Up & Evolve!]

This looks badass

I have to say, it has been a while since such a promising flash series that have arised it's head on Newgrounds for quite some time now. You have a really preety style for art that has an undeniable spark of style from the "Feel Good Inc." clip (darn, can't remember the name of the guys who made it) whith some adaptated feeling to it that looks extremely nice. The storyline also seems like something totally promising, and I'd be lying if I said that I'm not intrigued because of it. Best of luck with this, it looks like something I'd 5. Oh wait, already did.

[Pokemon Master ep16]

You're wrong.

Pokemanstar or however he's called is probably WAAAAY fatter.

MrAbnormal responds:

Yeah I know I did that but PokemanMaster hired 50 gay prostitute lawyers and made me change it

[Birthday 18]

well

I want a CD.

[NG, learn how to vote!]

Fucking agreed!

Amen, keep up the great work, your improving A FUCKING LOT, I love your frame by frame, excuse me if I steal your idea anytime in the near future.

HolyKonni responds:

Thank you Zyph, also, go ahead but please write a line about me in the description. See you!

[Secondstamp's Demo Reel]

Well.

I have to agree. Current Score: 2.46 / 5.00 (+ 0.056)

[Vete a la Versh 6]

Bleh

La verdad que no lo veo para nada especial. Ls calidad grafica esta muy anticuada, al igual que la animación. Yo te diría que trates de poner mán enfasis en la animacion del personaje en si mismo que solo en el movimiento de los labios, lo cual parece ser lo unico con suficiente esfuerzo. El chiste, por lo menos a mi, no me pareció para nada gracioso, pero bueh, el humor es relativo, sin embargo, te recomiendo que trabaject más la parte estética, que no se ve tan pulida.

Darkar responds:

Pueeees... Mmm... No veo ningún buen ejemplo en tu profile.

[Like a Brother]

An amusing combination of styles.

I must say, the way you messed around with the color scheme for this animation is something that, in my opinion, is a big achievement, aestethically looking at it, it was a new and refreshing style, and at the first second I started watching this, I knew it'd be good, and didn't dissapoint at all. Actually, I expected the style to be lost a lot across the animation, considering how hard the character placing would be, and I was luckly wrong. The style kept on and on for the whole movie, having the exact same constitution from begining to end.
What I am not certain of is how some parts that are relatively easy to do in frame by frame with some effort, were made with tweens, for example, the dinosaur's eyebrow should've also had some sort of weight over the skin below of it, I'd recommend that when making expression shifts, it's better to look at the mirror and later do it frame by frame, since when frowning, it should also change how the upper third of the face. There were quite some riduculously tiny flaws like this one, but they aren't really meningful, but when played together, it does catch the eye and looks really good. Congratulations, this animation was incredible, you should probably keep experimenting with the colors, it puts to display how artistically talented you are.

coloring is my thing

[Kitty Krew Opening J]

It's an interesting view at the KK...

I must say, I enjoyed this greatly, yet still, I think it's filled with inperfections that could be solved with some practice. First and mostly, the frame by frame animation seemed EXTREMELY unconsistent to me, this should be solved by trying to plan the character drawings one by one as a rough sketch, instead of giving more attention to how the frames merge together. This is a really common issue in japanese animation, and I can see this is majorly inpired by that, besides the obvious fact that it's made on purpose, the overall way to animate it and character placing seems to have ann old school japanese animation vibe to it. Between the totally rad camera turns you pinpointed here, the overall art in the frames was a little bit lost, that when looking at it, seems like a safe play to say that when these frames, played 24 per second (assuming it's 24) won't be really noticeable, which it doesn't at simple view, but unfocuses the viewer and is a huge distraction. Else than that, I like how you made static images such as the view at Tom have WAY more detail, keep up the hard work, and please, look at some references!

Hulalaoo responds:
