TheShrike's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Car Camping Ep. 001]

SPEED IT UP.

Those opening credits take waaaaay too damn long.

[Right-click menu tutorial]

Ok

The reason why everything looks jagged is because it's being displayed smaller than it is. If you put a bitmap (jpg or gif or bmp or tiff) in a flash movie, it needs to be its original size (100%). Resizing bitmaps doesn't work well in flash.

You can kind of get around this by editing the images in another program, then importing to flash.

mac5 responds:

Whoah, thanks! I actually didn't resize them. I think the newgrounds filesystem resized it. It may have detected that the screen params were too big, so it resized my movie. Now, in "Super Mac Bros!", I did resize the icon images, so that'll explain why those icons are so jagged.

Thanks again! This is an extremely helpful review!

It's an honor to be reviewed by you,

OK, some suggestions

1-Get rid of the opening music.
2-Put the credits at the end, not at the beginning.
3-Hurry it up. It moves too slowly, people lose interest quickly.
4-Learn how to tween.

Other than that, it was... ok. Mediocre, at best. =\

Beefybooyawn responds:

What was wrong with the tweening? It wasn't special because it didn't have to be. Other than that, thanks for the input, I made most of the changes you said.

[Bob the Ball - Episode 2]

A wonderful movie.

Although.... I think you should have spent more time with the M.I.L.F, instead of the carnivorous predators.

That's just my opinion.

[Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE]

Glad to see you respect your roots!

I was a fan of the original, and I loved this one. I'm just sad I'll have to go to Atom to see the whole thing =\

[Xtreme Rock Paper Scissor]

Meh.

Couldn't hold my interest. The graphics are terrible. I don't know if that was on purpose or not, but... yeah.

[FF7: About Random Battles]

LOL

NO, REALLY! I'm actually laughing out loud. mmmmhhm yess.

[Super mac bros!]

Nice emulation of the Mac OS

I liked and disliked the style at the same time.

Kinda boring. You need sound, and the icons look jagged.

Have you considered re-creating the icon's edges in flash with the line tools?

mac5 responds:

Wow! A BBS mod reviewed MY movie! Thanks!

I have no Idea why the icons looked jagged. They looked great, until I started to move them, then they went bad. Check out my "right-click menu tutorial", and you'll see it happened there also.

I haven't considered recreating the icon's edges in flash, but it is a good idea.

Thanks a lot!

(PS, If you happen to be a review mod also, please take a look at some of the other reviews for this movie.)
