FantasyJam's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nothing Phases Pinkie Pie]

Short but to-the-point.

I like the concept, and I like the shortness factor a bit, but I have to say that the animation is terrible. You may as well just do a comic.

Ionnan responds:

I respect your opinion

[SONIC ALL Preview]

red screen

all I saw was red

tav6000 responds:

Sorry about that apparently something went wrong with the swf file and the text and timeline are out of sync

[Zelda Files: Chapter 7]

Broken.

If I leave it sitting or take too long to read, the music messes up.

peltos responds:

yeah there is some error in the flash that i cant find. you just have to read the whole thing before your gonna do something else XD

[Steamy at home.]

Poor animation deserves poor rating.

Try mixing in some frame-by-frame animation, next time. Make the character less stiff. Give him joints. If you use CS5, take advantage of the bone tool.

dangerteeth responds:

Was just using what I learned in class, and this was before the bone tool. My next animation already utilizes it, but thanks for the advice!

[Minecraft2D]

Nice concept, not meant for NG.

This belongs on NGAlpha, not the Flash Portal.

urimas responds:

well im new to posting stuff on NG ......... so yeah :)

this was only a demonstration of what i have done so far.

[Ragnarok: Vesper Battle]

Awesome animation skills.

I gotta fave this. I just gotta.

That said, you forgot to incorporation emoticons, and you didn't really make us worry about the heroes too much. You also didn't have a story. You should try adding a reason why the monster ventured into town and fought these characters.

ShadowWhoWalks responds:

I tried to stay away from plots as much as possible, cause I really just wanted to focus on a simple fight. I didn't want to waste 10 seconds of the viewer's time about where Vesper came from and why the characters had to fight it. I just wanted to get straight to the point.

and yeah, I seriously forgot to incorporate emoticons until I read a couple of reviews. It would've added a lot of the flavor, bleh.

[Waiting for Tom]

Tom's busy. Find someone else.

$600 is a lot of money, but I forgive you, because I realize this is a joke. Anyway, this "Cat Game" should be a hoot. Wait, no, that was the "Owl Game."

LazyMuffin responds:

It's like $300 each for like... a years work, it's not that much, I'm not just being a dick ]:

[Spoony Experiment Intro]

Animation is OK, art is terrible.

Your characters are nowhere near anatomically correct, and I can tell you tried to get realism. I also think the animation is lacking every few seconds, and the sketchy image at the end looks better than anything in the animation.

That said, I think the tracing of Yuna's performance was pretty good. You worked it into the animation very smoothly, and I think you should expand on the concept of entering popular game characters into 'real' environments. I'm not sure if the show would every get done, though.

I tried out the FFX review, and I didn't see this intro, but the review was hilarious and awesome. I may have to be a fan now, so this animation did its job.

RPGsrok responds:

Yeah, I am starting to wonder if I should look into anatomy more seriously. I will insist I wasn't as concerned with realism in this animation as I've been before, but it's no real excuse. The bitmap at the end is of course not my work, if that's what you meant (helps your argument I suppose lol)

I spent AGES on Yuna, so I'm glad you liked it. Worst part was I got the original footage but I couldn't import it so I was just tracing by eye. But as you observed, that level of detail would be completely insane to bring to everything, at least in a little project like this.

This intro has (so far) only been used in the TSE Riff Theater video - Wendy's Training Videos. But ya, I'm glad you liked his stuff! Definately look into the FF8 review, and also, if you wanna see his early style, check out The Thing. Thx for being civil in your review, hope you enjoy his work!
