Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Sore Splat]

Nice work

Just a little unsure if this is your own work, as it says it was created by Doc Frankenstein and that's not the name of this new account, despite the name apparently being available.

The artwork is good, complete with the lazy flapping of the pigeon's wings. Hardly an in depth study, but it's so true about the way those little bastards fly - they shouldn't be able to, frankly!

The musical arrangement for the flash was nice, sounding a little like a proper 1920s silent movie, but brought to us in glorious colour and slapstick. I loved the way that the face of the young lad changed so subtly and yet so effortlessly.

This flash could quite easily escalate into something much bigger, as the proliferation of arms between small children and pigeons grows steadily out of control. Cue the kid with a shotgun, as the pigeons call in a cow to dump on his head.

Hello, Just want to make sure I clarify,
My name is Franky
Frankenstein, is me! This would be my work. Thanks for your comment.

[Bahamut's Fav. Reviews]

Review #987

A nice selection of reviews on this flash - that's some serious review numbers for your flash. If you were a true stat whore like me, you'd have declared the total number of reviews received to date and the average number of reviews per flash.

Still, that aside, you've given us a nice flash, which is almost as nice a tribute to us reviewers as you actually responding to each and every review that we give you. That's awesome, so thanks for that.

I'd better spend more time writing more substantial reviews, so that you consider one of mine to be a featured review. I can't believe that you got upset that RebeccaRose didn't like your one flash. Some poeple don't like certain things - that's their problem, so respond by maybe not responding to the review, as that would really annoy her :P

I love the way that you said hello and goodbye to Casualty - have you got some Scottish blood in you, perchance?

kinggila responds:

Haha, I should have done that total number of reviews. I'll do it now, actually.

...

1823 reviews in total, which is an average of around 19 reviews for each flash.

I would have added a review of yours, but time was running short. :(

I would never do such a thing to RebeccaRose.

Thanks Coop! :)

[Edgar N' Locke 07]

Review # 981

Well, I've been looking forward to DragonForce's episode of this for a long time. I'm glad that there are types out there that regarded DragonForce as shit, because they'd probably never heard of them, but after playing guitar hero, they were the next big thing.

I'm willing to accept that DragonForce will never be the best band in the world, as their live performances leave people somewhat dissapointed - That's their fault for setting the bar so high with the ultra-difficult to play songs and insisting upon flicking their hands around on the fret bar :P Plus they might snag a few hairs in the strings from time to time.

Glad to see that no-one raves about them as being the best ever, though I can understand why there are people who think that the band are shite - there always are.

kinggila responds:

DragonForce are often too drunk to play live performances very well. XP

[Graham Loves Goatse]

Review # 979

Well, I think you missed out on a classical style joke - satire. You could have gone back home and made the movie, followed by an image of, say, a goat, wearing glasses or binoculars. Hence Goat-see :P

Of course this would get me called a fucking prick by Graham and I'd have to fend him off with some sort of kitchen utensil, like a spatula, or something, I don't know.

I'm not sure what the significance of Arfo_Stud singing An-Tar-Ti-Ca was, but what the hell. Nobody is perfect.

kinggila responds:

I can't have a goat wearing glasses or binoculars, Newgrounds would say to it. XP

Afro_Stud singing Ant-Arct-Ic-A was just an entrance from Afro_Stud here. :)

Thanks Coop!

[LL - Hammer]

Decent movie

A bad workman always blames his tools - you should have directed him to the Where is / How to forum on the NGBBS :P

That shameless plug from me aside, you've come up with the old cliched plotline of the wild goose chase, which works well in this incarnation. I liked that Carrot kept hold of his hammer for shits and giggles, as it's a neat twist.

The animation and the artistic style used was neatly drawn and the only issue with the animation in itself is that Wine never tended to move fast enough for my liking. Sorting that out might have given a better overall impression of the flash.

Madanimation responds:

Meh.
And thanks : D

[LL - Quince's Party]

Too simple

So you decided to make a second Legion movie to submit on Lock Day. Surely you've had all year to come up with two flash that would suffice, rather than this, ahem, effort.

To be honest, if you wanted to make this a prpoer party, give Quince the microphone and have him make some sort of speach to the gathered locks before breaking into dance. You could explore all sorts of effects with the disco ball, for example and of course the movement of Quince himself.

I've managed to give you these ideas with only a few minutes of thought, it shouldn't have taken you much longer than a week to produce a quick little flash like that. I'm glad that it didn't continuously loop the 'Jackass Party Boy Song' ad infinitum, as that could have gone way too far.

Madanimation responds:

Meh.

[Skate Something ep.1]

A little basic

There is a little of the skills that you need to provide decent flash movies here - good quality sound mixed with average quality animations. Next what you need to do is come up with a plotline and you'll be on your way toward something better.

Just showcasing a few tricks on a skateboard isn't really much of an animation. Why not come up with some sort of graphic, telling us what these moves are called? That would at least give us an education on the dynamics and terminology of skateboarding.

The length needs more of a boost as well - more tricks and perhaps a skate-off between two rivals could certainly improve the piece beyond recognition!

sistem69 responds:

yes the graffics idea is awesome thanks. and its basic because its my first flash.

[Casualty in New York City]

Review # 967

Firstly, Happy 18th Birthday, Casualty. Why would you go to New York on your 18th Birthday, as America is one of the only countries that you cannot drink in until you're 21. That's mental!

I think that you should have used the Reel Big Fish version of New York, New York, as it's totally vocal and even pushes Old Ble Eyes close for being the best version of that song. Also, Slayer can fuck off! Gay Trivium wannabes! Why not use some decent heavy guitar, like Metallica, Dragonforce, or even Dream Theatre?!

I think that the place you need to improve the most is where you can see the edges of the parts of casualty overlapping, as you come to fade out and you can see the different shapes fade through each other - it made a mess of the ending in my opinion. Eraser these edges out so that on a fade to black it looks better ;)

[Review Request Club]

kinggila responds:

Casualty had to be destructive on his 18th birthday, so New York was the best for him to do so.

Fuck you, Slayer aren't Trivium wannabes. :( Slayer were formed 20 years before those faggots.

Also, Theater, NOT Theatre for Dream Theater!

I'm aware about those overlapping fade problem with Casualty. My only other way to have solved it was making a second fade layer and I don't feel like having two on the outro scene.

Thanks for the review Coop. :)

[Afro_Stud - The Fairytale]

Review # 962

And so we see what Afro_Stud's paintbrush signature looks like. Man, it's very similar to Hitler's... did they go to school together or something?

Glad to see that you're 'doing a Futurama' and going through the toolbox of past characters and throwing them into unusual situations. I'll have to pass you my latest picture, as the beard has changed to goatee :P

kinggila responds:

"did they go to school together or something?"

Perhaps. ;)

[A Thousand Frames]

Needs more

I hope that this project ahs shown you how you need to draw more frames to slow the animation down and smooth it out a bit. The way you were with some parts of the animation, it moved far too fast for my liking. This is where frame-by-frame animation gets tedious, I'm afraid.

When the world turned into a gumball, I'm not sure that you really needed to tell us that it was a gumball, before it was bitten. Maybe make it so that the jaw clamps around it, chews it for a while, then blows a bubble, for instance.

Still, you've gone some way to learing the skills that you need, I'd reccomend that you work on making a definative plotline for these things, just to keep it all in perspective.

blackcat2000 responds:

Yeap, it sure has shown me that fbf is tedious :P
The gumball thing is actually a pretty good idea... not sure why I didn't think of it... Oh well, that's what comes of rushing my drawings!
A plot is indeed much needed. For my next animation, there is and will be a plot... no worries :)
