somax's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyberangel 888: Act 1/3]

hey there, stranger!

I finally got around to watching this!

I have to say, the visuals were much better than I anticipated from that banner in the audition thread. Even if the art looks a bit unpracticed (and I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, since you said there was computer tracing going on) I still like the over all style of it.

But, the one thing that really bothered me (so much so that it's almost the full reason for taking off 3 stars) was the lack of voicing in some places. As a voice actress and a producer, I can speak very strongly from all angles.

If you have a deadline for the completed work to be done, then you need to set a deadline for the VAs. The deadline should be a few weeks ahead of the completion date, plus and extra week or 2 for padding. Those padding weeks are in case the VAs need to reschedual. They should let you know if there's a conflict at least 1 week (if not more) before the VA deadline (that's just out of respect and proper VA manners). If that's the case, try to arrange something.

Of course, if the VA can't get things done on time (especially if you've given extensions) then you need to sack them and go to the understudy; your work shouldn't have to suffer because VAs are being difficult.

You should never post something in this condition, because it will look half-assed; even when other aspects show a lot of time and energy.

In short, it was a good effort on your part, but you need to control your VAs; it's your project, not theirs, and shouldn't have to suffer because of them.

Heya, thanks for reviewing. A lot of time has since past after the release of this, and you can bet that I've learned something from it. I hope in the future that I'll finish this series in its entirety.

[The Final Task]

........

I love you.....

[Valhalla Knights]

YaY!!!

Absolutely lovely, and I'm hooked on the story.
I'm taking one star off, though, because some of the art looked rushed, and the sound only came out of one speaker (that last one might just be me, though).

[Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt1)]

Absolutely lovely!

*virtual hug*

[The Office Theme for Luis]

that's not right...

As cool as that was, and as much as I like the office....that wasn't flash, so it doesn't belong here.

Of course, if you made just an audio recording of it, you could put it on the audio portal.

I'll give you a 2 because that was pretty awesome, but it doesn't belong in the flash portal...

Reyals responds:

Honestly I agree. I just put it here to make it accessible.

[Sasuke VS Kakashi]

it's broken

Looked promising....but i couldn't get past the first page of text where it's talking about everybody killing everybody else. Do you click the happy face? I tried that, and it didn't work....

[Sunshine The Parakeet]

Why can't TV be this good?

Now, I shall go off in search of something happy...since you made me so depressed...

[Fighting Spirits Online]

pretty good....

...for your first flash.
The dialouge was my only issue. There was a ton to read, and the clicking got obnoxious fast. Maybe next time, you could use voice actors instead, or at least to go along with the text, so that the viewer doesn't have to read a book when they want a flash. If you need voice actors, I'm one myself. I also know a whole comunity of them that do internet work for free. Send me a message if you want so help finding people.

[I Can't w8 2 get a mouth?]

um...what did i just watch?

i'm completely lost... i think i may have lost a brain cell or two while watching...

KA-CHING MISSION SUCCESS

[Why (American)Anime Sucks]

No....

I'm not voting this way because I like anime (and I do) or because I used to like Yu-Gi-Oh when I was a kid (which I did). My problem is that this is closer to a powerpoint with bad audio than a flash.

You should read the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga; it's almost completely different than the american version (and even a lot of the japanese version as well) of the cartoon, and also much, much better.
