Esn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Telluck & E-Sys]

Make more stereoscope movies!

Pretty please? Going through tunnels in stereoscope is very, very cool!

Just a question:

how do you do it exactly? Is there some kind of special way to do it in flash?

TmsT responds:

Yeah.
First, you turn the animated section that you want to make 3D into one multi-layer, multi-frame object.

Second, you duplicate it.

Third, you place the object and its duplicate side by side - left and right.

Fourth, you edit the duplicate, changing the objects in it so that they are slightly offset to the left or right, depending on how far you want them to appear in the foreground/background.

[French Erotic BIRTHDAY!]

Beautiful!

That's pretty cool that Colin actually noticed your little homage! Is that really him singing?

Anyway, this is your best animutation yet, only matched by Plan 9 from Underpants.

[The Mad Scientist]

Man...

work on your character animations, they're horrible! Everything else was good, though, so I'm giving you an "8".

Good music, good backgrounds, good editing.

[A Simple Line 7]

TFC's was the best

Some of the other ones were somewhat crude I thought. They all had parts that were very well done, but I think TFC's was the only one that had consistently great animation. Just because it's frame by frame doesn't mean the drawings have to be really crude!

Anyway, good job TFC! I give yours 10/10, and you picked a great song too.

[French Erotic Film]

You get major kudos...

for putting commander keen sprites in there! Go Commander Keen! :D

[Ignatius vs Dodgy]

A few questions...

Who's the guy who seperated them, & what state is this university in?

Anyway, this is great, even if I didn't understand all the in-jokes. Especially loved the "you don't need to be rich" part.

TmsT responds:

He's John The Security Guy.
The state of the university is "mostly solid", the province is Canterbury, and the country is New Zealand.

[Only Superhuman]

Have you heard of Bruno Bozzetto?

This reminds me of some of his flashes, particularly "(((((( LIFE ))))))".
Anyway, this is what "LIFE" should've been but wasn't, I think.

Sure the Brackenwood cartoons have better animation, but this has a MUCH more sophisticated sense of humour (Prowlies relies purely on toilet humour, again and again. It's true.)

Anyway, I loved both of them, and I'd never vote a lower rating on a movie just so that another movie that I like better can rise ahead of it. PEOPLE, THIS WHOLE SYSTEM DEPENDS ON YOU GIVING A MOVIE THE VOTE YOU THINK IT ACTUALLY DESERVES!

This is a great flash, and I notice that you have so many other submissions! It would be nice if Newgrounds had a way of ranking an author's submissions based on rating when you click on "view this author's other submissions", because as it is I don't know which one of them I should watch (they can't ALL be good!) and so I end up not watching any of them.

The only reason I gave you a 9 and not a 10 is because of the less-than-perfect animation, which couldn't be helped. i REALLY like you sense of humour! :D

TmsT responds:

Cheers. As a matter of fact, Bozzetto's movie "(((LIFE)))" was a major inspiration for this. I love that style of movie - quirky cartoon characters and a lush musical backdrop.

[Menya zovut Shnur]

Great music video

Well... I actually understood what they were saying since I'm Russian. Only it didn't seem to make any sense... just a lot of random ranting really, and hoe did the guy in the podium fit into the whole thing?

I probably missed something...

But anyway, catchy melody & good animation, so I voted a "5".

[Salad Fingers Episode 5]

Too much talk...

Frankly, I thought that this one had too much talk and not enough of anything actually happening. The dialogue was interesting, and the crow was good, but otherwise it was very normal. The best Salad Fingers so far have been episodes 2 and 4.

Let's hope for a good #6 then?

[Burnt Face Man's Trailer]

Better than the 1st "Burnt Face Man"

This really made me laugh! Just everything in it!

I didn't like the 1st Burnt Face Man so much, but this is much better. Even the limbs seem to move more smoothly.

This has proven to me that you CAN do humour (I wouldn't consider your other sick stuff as humour). :)
