Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I Hate Snowmen]

Personal issues?

Were you abused by a snowman as a child? Why do you hate these gentle creatures so much? Just kidding, this is quite a good animation.

I've never really been a fan of Bullshit for my Vallentine, so I can't really comment on the music - I just kept the volume down low and we went from there. A decent music video, that, though the animation doesn't run completely to the end of the song, was well designed and animated.

I would point out that when you sorted out the snowman getting shot by the arrows, you did make one small error - the arrows would probably pass straight through the snowman, but the top arrow would probably cause some sort of tilt, maybe even knocking it over like you suggested - it would fall over quicker, though.

The animation wrapped up at that part of the song, because it kinda starts getting quicker paced again. And it seemed after I had it come down for the shootout, then coming back up would be a little out of place.
The falling over snowman is definately not accurate. The arrows would slice straight through, and never knock him over. And if the did, he wouldn't keep his form perfectly. Haha, but that's alright

Nice, but slow...

Okay, so we've got a nice cartoon, which has quite a few Arnie jokes (Let's face it, he's quite easy to rip the piss out of now, isn't he?) It's been presented well, but the main issue that I have is the length of the pauses between dialogue was far too long - no kids would wait that long without interrupting, especially on Halowe'en, considering they're already on a sugar high.

When you panned the camer up Arnie's torso / face, you did it too slowly. I could physically see each line of additional graphics being added on and it would have made the slowest of viewers bored with the mammoth climb. Speeding that up is simple for a large dividend.

The punchline was well delivered - I just thought he was going to shoot them, so you get some plus points for a good well delivered gag there.

Your animation style is decent and your drawing is very good. How long did this take to make?

Thanks for your review.
It took me from October 7th - October 30th. I worked on it for about an hour each day.

Short, but evocative

Such a well animated piece. I feel quite deprived to learn that this is one of only two submissions to Newgrounds. However, you may not have quantity, but you certainly do have quality.

The animation itself looks really smooth and the drawings look so nice. I'm seriously running out of words to describe this and I'm not sure I can think of any ways to improve it...

I hope your other flashes echo my sentiments

Thanks for the review.
I only have a few submissions to Newgrounds because I have trouble focusing on a single project. As a result I have several projects that are incomplete. Hopefully as more time passes I will be able to finish all of them.

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 195]

My girlfriend likes the music

But personally, I'm not fussed by the music of this type that you play. I'm looking forward to more rock style tunes that you play - Do they help Hitler catch the pokemon, perchance?

It looks like you've fetched Adolf out of the freezer a little close to air time today, almost worthy of playing Cold Ethyl by Alice Cooper :P Maybe try anti-freeze next time, to help him thaw out quicker.

Have you ever considered actually showing us how Hitler would catch or train the pokemon in question, thus boosting his pokedex by one more pokemon? It would make for such a good flash, after all. I'd have thought that you could consider this during your recent submission ban...

The submissions were flagged simply because the person mass-flagging didn't like me. I could have submitted a 5 hour long epic flash with the most mindblowing story and animation and it would have still been mass-flagged by the guy.
