EdibleCastle's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Geometry and You]

...

really boring. graphics were ok. sound sucked as did the whole concept of this. the graphic style didnt stay constant either

gene-goldstein responds:

The sound is SUPPOSED TO SUCK. And the Graphic stayed constant, you're just blind.

[Eddsworld Christmas '04]

...

oh god that was terrible. well i think it was.. i couldnt watch all the way thru. bad sound, bad humor, bad animation, bad graphics, and i'll take a guess at .. bad storyline. i dont understand how u have (at present) a 3.61 score with this. oh well... congrats.

eddsworld responds:

because you never watched the whole thing

[A Very Shabot Christmas]

...

not bad. best thing about this production was the sound quality. gj on that, so many ppl overlook how important sound is to their movies.

shabot6000 responds:

Thank you, I try not to compress the audio to the point of distortion. The audio in this Flash movie was rendered at 128kbps stereo mp3. Glad you enjoyed it!

[Animation Tutorial 4 FX]

better than the last

the fire and water examples looked the best imo. the smoke looked a bit gnarly, but the others were ok/good. still just watch out for basic spelling errors and typos, that sorta thing. oh u shouldnt even bother putting the "now just a word here" page in. oh and the last page button cuts the music off.

JackSmack responds:

Thanks for saying the tutorials are getting better. And yes the smoke looks a bit gnarly but it is great for small file sizes. Sorry about the button killing the music. was something I missed I guess. did it so when you hit the button it didn't play another music track on top of the one already playing. And I appologize for any spelllingg errors. I'm not perfect... but hey I want to help people.

[Animation Tutorial 3]

...

its made quite well and the layout is nice and clean and easy to follow. just not perfect.. got a few typos in there and i dont agree with the "E" head... thats the "ee" head right? using a mouth showing both bottom and top teeth seems to work better i feel. personal prefecnce perhaps. and then you go on to talk about setting the sound to stream so that it syncs with the frames. well yours sure didnt on my machine nor my friends. so that could be a bit confusing to n00bs trying to learn from this tut. oh and your character... u been watching too many episodes of homestar runner? even your layout and nature of your homepage is the same. well anyway. u have design skills. but not much teaching ability. dont think this deserved 1st place. or even 5th place... but then again i havent watched any of the other cartoons for that day.. they musta blowed.

JackSmack responds:

Was wondering when someone was gonna notice that... lol. I had the voice streamed but for some ODD reason half the clips kept coming out HORRIBLE... tryed for a half hour to fix it even reanimated part of it... but 2 of them would not get fixed... so I made them all event sound clips. and to be honest... I was very surprized at feature of the day too.

[Peoplemation: Spin]

...

haha what a great story. good ending too.
you guys musta looked like such idiots to people watching u film that from their houses. haha great stuff

Dustball responds:

Yes, plus there's that whole "getting run over by a car" problem!

[lll_Narnia's Realm_lll]

yeah

um... hmmm.. i like the setting.... but then again its not your creation.. thats narnia... plus why does he want narnia to be free? it seems pretty free to me. hey that rhymed.. but seriously check him out.... sitting by a nice river with the forest all around chillin playing his instrument. voice was boring and not very well sync'd. animation was not consistent... for example the pan downwards at the start thru the forest treetops to groundlevel. it was fast then slow and then like there was a straight line where the trees stopped or something.... um well.. yeah just get it all sorted coz theres some potential at least.

alexsmolik responds:

Thanks, glad you rather liked it. Well, as said in previous reviews, I didn't know what Narnia was until I read the reviews. So you know ... There indeed are some problems with voice/lip synching, I admit. Yeah there is a little problem with the opening scene, the ground seems to be missing ... I might fix that.
Thanks for the review and the motivation you give me by saying the movie has potential.
