BoMToons's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Meat]

Great graphics

Very well drawn and animated. I'd prefer thicker lines, but that's just me. Nice one.

[Morph Shorts 1]

I like it

If there were some sort of cohesive story or logical progression, that might improve it, but I enjoy the "stream of consciousness" feel you've got going too. My only other suggestion would be to fill more of the picture frame with the morphing sometimes...like maybe some landscapes or larger mechanical objects...seems like you're good at organic stuff like faces, so try branching out into some broader forms to add some variety.

Overall, an awesome concept. Hope yo develop it into something big.

I understand what you mean with the storyline or such, but what I going for was a sort of "wtf?..whoa." reaction. If this one does decent, I will work on a much more in depth movie with the same concept. I really didn't want to spend months and months making a huge elaborate fbf movie only to have it be ill-recieved. From what i've seen, people seem to thing it is an interesting concept. I will most likely do more of this in the future. Thanks for the review.

[YMCA-Mortal Kombat Style]

Wanted to blam it but...

I just couldn't blam it cuz it made me laugh. Good idea.

[The History of Animation]

Edumacation

I liked the concept. Not much educational stuff on NG. I feel like I learned a bit from it.

My only suggestion is to use the "streaming" sound setting in flash. It synchs your audio to your timeline so the audio matches perfectly with what's on the screen. (It will actually skip animation frames to maintain synch).

I could just tell you split up your audio into different segments to try to keep it synched well (I know cuz I did the same thing in my first flash anims). Streaming will even work with your scene selection system.

If you're worried about quality of sound, you can adjust the quality under file>publish settings in flash and up the bitrate till it sounds good.

Overall I liked it...keep up the good work!

[Paints A Thousand Words]

Good start

I think you've got some talent to work with (especially if the kitten on the loader was drawn by you). Some of the scenes seemed pretty well thought out, others looked kind of hastily done. Specifically, I liked the shooting star over the city (the reflection detail shows you thought it through a bit), I didn't like the lizard's tongue hitting the fly (seemed like the animation was rushed through).

Overall, I think, if you spend some time on making each scene your best, you could really produce something great.

[Important Announcement]

Let's see the tutorial

This was very impressive. I would be very interested in seeing a tutorial on how you made it...so make it!

[Ryo the ninja KID ep 3]

Very Nice

This is one of the first flash movies on NG to make me sincerely laugh. It was the bird pooping thing...great run-on gag. Well done cinematics and I dig the storyline too.
