CTickler's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Alice"]

Great :)

Your hand-drawn traditional stuff is great, must have taken you ages to draw the woodcutter in particular. Your flash stuff, particularly where combining animation/photos is concerned, could use practise, but I'm sure it'll come to you. Overall, a really cool idea :D

[Danny Boy]

I think you mean

"Savour" or "savor" depending on if you're Brit or US.

[Chef Suzie Creations]

Interesting and Professional

This is a really cool product. I liked that the instructions were verbal since that would be particularly good for children whose reading skills might not be very confident. However, I think one way you could improve this flash would be to add either subtitles or a written summary of the recipe at the end of each section. That way anyone who wanted to see the recipe written down wouldn't have to make their own notes.

Subtitles were part of my original idea, I just ran out of time.

Thanks for the review!

[animation excercises]

Some really good traditional animation

Looks like you're well on the way to producing a decent showreel. As a first glance opinion I would say a couple of the exercises at the start need a little more squash and stretch and probably some more follow through action to stop the characters coming to a dead halt when they finish moving. Other than that, there's some high quality character animation there. I particularly liked the folding box.

[Bleed No More Iraq]

Somewhat unclear

I don't think the political message was very clear. As others might have mentioned, an anti-war piece which shows lots of apparently touching moments, eg soldiers smiling at little kids, etc, doesn't really convey an anti-war sentiment since those are the images people most associate with supporting the troops. Additionally this is more of a slideshow than a proper piece of flash animation. With better flash skills and a more clear message I think this would do better.

[Death Note : Sketchnote]

So funny XD

This was really cute :3 The clueless of the guy is awesomely funny.
I think it could use some sound, even if it was just some quiet music in the background. Sound effects would definitely be awesome. The animation was really good too. Keep it up ^^

[Emo Song]

...

Screamers are lame, there's even a section specifically in the submission agreement telling you they're lame. It would have been quite funny if this was 1999 ... Try something else, at least the emo part wasn't too bad.
