RAMB0J3SUS's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Catching a Bus]

This was a fantastic little short! The frame by frame work was very well done and I liked the angles that you showed off, especially with exiting the bed. It was a nice and simple animation, even though it lacked a background. I liked the take on it and would have enjoyed to see more of a background, but I know that frame by frame is a pain in the ass. It never hurts to go the extra mile though ;) As for the sounds, I wish there was some sound too! WIth the combination of those two things you would have an even better piece of animation. Maybe this could develop into a story of some kind? Either way, I really enjoyed this and would like to see more come from you into the portal! Awesome job

[Test 01]

Holy shit! THis was great! The characters were well designed, and the story that unfolded was super well done. The art of the whole thing was pretty good, but I would have liked to see you put a little more depth into them and this includes the animation. I know that this was just a test, but there is some serious potential in this project if you fleshed out the animation and characters more. What I mean when I say this is that some of the animation it was hard to tell what was going on, so maybe add another shade of red and a couple more keyframes in between so it doesn't go by so fast. With that said, this movie was a lot of fun to watch and you executed the action very well! I enjoyed this little toon quite a bit and hope to see more from you soon in the portal.

Thank you, man

[Cold Morning]

Wow! This animation was superb! It had a powerful message and was delivered in such a unique way. It makes me want to know more about these characters and what goes on in their lives. The title is very well suited and when the mother appears it felt as though the atmosphere of the morning had become warm.

As for the animation, it was excellent. It was smooth and flowed very well with the sounds. Speaking of which, they were crystal clear (as well as the imagery, lol). There's not a whole lot more that I could say about this piece except that I wish there was more, but what you had here was absolutely great! I hope to see more from you in the portal soon!

Albinorice responds:

Thanks! Yes, I was definitely trying to put these contrasting emotions like warm and cold together to show change in character.

[Bobby's Medallion]

THis was great! THe idea was decent and the animation was well executed. I liked the simplicity of it. Your character design was great and must have made animating quite fun. The sounds were a nice touch to this movie too; it wouldn't be much without the sound effects. Overall this tied really together and I like the ending you implemented with the Pharaoh's hat. Had me chuckle! Look forward to seeing more of your work!

Thank you!

[wrong impressions]

This was awesome! I absolutely loved this whole film. It reminded me of the Boondocks, only I enjoyed your story far more. The fighting was great and when it got to the part about the ball point pens I fucking lost it. I'm even giggling to myself right now just thinking about it. The artwork could have been a little bit better, but other than that you nailed it. What images you had were perfectly crafted with the audio. Which as a whole was fantastic. I was really digging the background soundtrack because it gave this movie a great atmosphere. I can not wait to see more from you homie. 5/5 all the way.

[Ice Cream!]

Wow! That was great! The animation was choppy here and there, but otherwise extremely fluid! It flowed so well with the soundtrack you used. I especially liked the Casino scene. The background was great and the way you made the casino letters look set a perfect atmosphere, good touch. Though it was simple, and to be honest a little hard to follow, I thought you executed the perfect "stick fights" kind of movie. Awesome job, you've convinced me to follow you.

XXXDUDEXXXXFOREVER responds:

Thanks dude, your awesome I apprecite it.

[Scorpion Swagger]

That was fucking hysterical! The animation was so smooth and timed perfectly with the music. It only added to the comedy of his creeper walk. Awesome little flick

[Unfortunate Man First Day]

Wow! That was really entertaining! The animation could have been better, but overall you got your point across clear and the soundtrack was this film's saving grace. The sound effects that you had in this film were fantastic, really giving it a slapstick humor kind of feel. How long have you been working in Flash? It seems like you might be new to it, so this is great if it's one of your earlier cartoons! Like I said before, the animation could be better but what you have works; I would have liked to see more fluidity in the movements of characters, such as smoother walking, the boss could have been smoother counting the money or being squashed by the unfortunate man. Otherwise you had a pretty decent cartoon here. I think my favorite part was the papers being pushed off the desk and papers flying into the air. The effects were nice and I would like to see more of them implemented in your next Flash! I hope you make a sequel to this and try to better the animation from this one, because I really enjoyed this one!

[The Bet]

It could have been better. I would recommend writing something down before you jump right into the animating part and maybe even doing the voice acting before as well. I'm not sure how you went about this, but you can definitely tell that it is rushed. The dialogue seems like you were just bullshitting and coming up with things on the spot which is really creative, but doesn't call for a fascinating story. Get a solid idea down and then plan how you're going to animate around it and you'll have a killer claymation next time. I also like the style you have going here; Very reminiscent of Knox!

[Omnislash FAIL]

This was fantastic! I loved the style of it with the comic boxes! Brilliant idea! That must've been fairly tricky to deal with. I also liked the transition you had from stick to full figure, which the drawing was fantastic by the way. I'm not sure if these characters are based on anything or not, either way sweet job with it! The audio was terrific as well because it was very fast paced and action oriented. You had a good way of illustrating it out! I wish there was a loader however and that the film wouldn't keep repeating itself as I write this review. Another thing that would be nice is a longer movie and maybe some more advancement in the film other than just a fight scene? Great animation and hope to see more from you in the portal soon!

Thank you RamboJesus! I appreciate the 4.5 star rating too! Oh, and these characters are off of a video game from 1997 (Final Fantasy 7). This is my first actual cartoon and my first time playing with Flash, with the help of some online tutorials - not to mention my first time uploading to newgrounds - so if you have any useful tips about newgrounds, I'd be grateful to hear them.
