Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cow on Trampoline]

3D was good

I'd say you could do with studying the mechanics of how a trampoline works. I know it may be getting a little technical, but if you understood that better, then maybe the animation would look a little better. Put some springs around the edge - they stretch, not the fabric of the tarpaulin.

When the cow jumps, make more than just his knees bend, as if he's really putting some effort into getting into space. Arms, hips and knees should all be moving. These little touches would make it so much better.

Also, a better sound effect for the trampoline itself and maybe a slightly quieter music track.

Other than that, it'snot going to set the portal ablaze, but it'll certainly be a passable flash animation.

Imacow responds:

Thanks for the review.

The trampoline animation wasn't as realistic as possible. I should of made for limbs moving.

I liked the sound effect =[

The music was a little loud.

[Stalingrad 1942]

Very Black Comedy

Wow, this is a neat way to portray the war in Stalingrad - sort of like Enemy at the Gates, but without Jude Law's awful acting.

I loved this piece, but it was a little too light on the blood and gore - flashing a red circle up on screen doesn't work for me in showing bloodshed. The corpses which fall to the floor look just the same as when they were alive, so maybe do something about that. Making it suitable for teens is alright, but if you add a little more violence, it's still not going to be as nasty as Madness or Bunnykill.

I'm just after a spot of realism, that's all. We don't want the kids thinking that war's great, because it isn't

Sgt-Mac responds:

I agree with you. This actually started with no blood, and with animation already done, adding bullet wounds would've been pain in the ass.
And by the way, Enemy at the Gates is a great movie.

[PONG: The Movie (Trailer)]

Decent working of a trailer

No, it doesn't really remind me of the trailer for a hollywood blockbuster. It's not even a patch on a trailer for a straight-to-dvd movie, but it is certainly a decent parody of it.

The graphics look a little rough around the edges for me. What you really need is just a single line, not about three for the edges of the people.

If you combined that with standing a little further away from the microphone when you recorded, you might just be on to a winning formula here.

Good start though.
