Patricoo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[AA- S.P.A.O.T.H.W.A.B.B]

Poor.

Good animation and sound can't make up for poor humor and writing.

Try for once.

JackflashProductions responds:

:3

[Bjorn: Private Eye]

Nice to watch, but wasn't great.

I'm not worried about the low quality charactor design. I'm sure that was done intentially, considering the great animation.

I love the humor and metephors. Great script writing. Your a great humor writer.

You probably could have gone without the cursing and then the animation would have been usable for a younger audience. Keep going with this! It's great! You have excellent voice actors too!

ChrisNosal responds:

Not so much intentional as unavoidable. I'm actually pretty bad at drawing, and when I try to draw things well, I just end up getting frustrated, and don't have any fun. This time around I just tried to have fun with it. And also put some more focus on "directing" so to speak.

Thanks, I AM the voice actors.

[TheCrapAdventuresOfHammi]

Didn't like it.

I didn't find it interesting and the randomness put me off even more. I thought animation, graphics were less then poor and didn't even find it the least bit funny.

To your credit, there was a good use of sound and syncing, but I didn't find that enough to give it a passing rating. Try again.

Hammi responds:

Meh... whatever XD Did you remember to read the comments? Then you might already know that im new to flash... thought i would just mention that ;P I didnt put EVERYTHING into animation, my purpose was just to make it work xP Too bad you didnt like the randoms. Oh well.

[Mushrooms 3]

Random works for once!

The way the humor is done, it reminds me of the random non-sensical animations I usually blam.

However, the good use of sound, great music choice and more then excellent flowing animation presented shows that even a lack of plot can't bring down this flash. Great humor too. I liked the green guys going across Poland.

No story required! Keep up the good animation.

iShirm responds:

Hey thanks! yea in the fourth i wont have story line neither, just randomly killing stuff, thx again :D

[Moose Stains]

Hah!

Haha, I like you. I like you alot.

Smooth animation and good punchlines. Short punches. Like jabs. More like animated comic strips than... well... animations.

They are good and excellent use of a color scheme. Smooth animation.

My only issue is the size. Bring it up a bit. I'd say 150%. Not a whole lot, but a bit more.

BritishMoose responds:

Thanks very much ^^ I quite like the small size - if there were too many in a single episode, I'd
1. probably run out of colour schemes
and
2. not have enough ideas to make the rest worth while.

I'm going to come up with five more ideas and release a sequel :)

Thanks for the review!

[Whuttevvah 2]

Much better.

Much better then your other submission, and I disagree with the person saying it should be longer. It's just fine. Any longer and I would have lost intrest.

This style and movement is very nice, and I hope to see improvement as it goes on. Now, I think your right. You don't need a story, but you need some sort of substance or just something to change to originality. I hope I don't see the golf flag and the tank 100 times again in the next one. Move to more colors, more objects on the screen at one, or try a series where the one string just keeps evolving. I agree. Sometimes creative people don't need a story but a canvas to just do some art on.

Perhaps after you get some experience you could team with a good writer. I hope to see improvment if and when I see more of these.

And FYI, Polymorphic 'Fly Like an Eagle' is a poor choice. Heh.

Glunnator responds:

Thanks. And yeah, I haven't got much good music.
I generally want music without lyrics so I can be really free in what I do. If you have any suggestions on where to find such music, I'd be very happy with it :)

[~BB~ Fuck the [SS] collab]

Ugh.

YOU HAVE AN ABILITY TO ANIMATE! Really! Please! you have some skill an ability to make items of great quality! Your talent goes wasted collaborating with such a crowd.

Smiley-Bob responds:

Witch one of us has the ability to animate?

[WOS TT 3]

Varied.

arksogof: Good animation, and I like the screaming sort of. It was okay.

Taco: My award for best animation.

Xock: Not so good. Next time don't procrastinate. Or think of a joke.

KillerBunny: Does it HAVE be that? I mean... I mean come on. Seriously.

Zombie Panda: My award for best humor. I like the joke. Wish it wasn't a loop.

Italian: Same as the third guy. Next time try more.

Overall it's an okay collaberation. You should only ask a few of these artists back.

Arskagarf responds:

Theres actually a story behind my part, our forum was hacked by Limon awhile back and the screamer was one of the things that came up.

[F.U.: AutoBlowBile]

Funny with improvement needed.

I love the work and animation. This is proof how a little background scene along with some music background can take a movie that would otherwise be considered boring and slow and turn it into something fun to watch. Also, I'd like to give credit to the writer(s). Excellent script and you have some jokes that I really found funny.

Helpful advice, invest in a nice microphone. Do you guys have a website? Maybe you can start one up and sell some advertising, eventually using some of that spare change to buy one. I understand, not everyone can have a studio quality mic. Secondly, stay away from gaming jokes unless your gaming themed. They get a bit overused lately, and unless you focus on the video game world the jokes can seem out of place.

Otherwise keep it up!

rockymike responds:

Hey, thanks. I had to get my digs in at the PS3...but it does seem, these days, that I'm not the only one. We do need better quality microphones. We actually recorded the dialog for F.U.3 in a recording studio, but I felt that was over doing it for this small production. D lives 5 hours from the rest of us and I didn't think it was worth a trip for him just to record 5 lines of dialogue. Our website is going up in the next few months so we will (hopefully) get some advertising revenue out of that. Quality mircorphones all around!! Thanks for the review. It was much helpful.

[The NEW Becks]

Not much good.

Too short and your initial sound doesn't sync up correctly. You should fix it and resubmit. It's nothing worthwhile right now.

MRD-Productions responds:

Must be something up with either your net connection or your pc. Syncs perfectly on my pc, and everyone elses whos watched it. Id fix that first.
