Nylo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[S&R Part 1 -Ineffable Pie]

This is what flash is all about.

You know, it was movies like these that turned me away from my foolish Anti-clock ways long ago. After quite a long standstill from Blue Clock's Void series and Crow Clock showing up now and then, I'm glad to see the CC is still alive and kicking. Your visuals were awesome, very crisp. I caught that link to the Kidney Theives website, that was a pretty cool easter egg. THank you for adressing the stupidity of the McGriddle comercials; they're driving me insane. Audio choice was perfect, and the SFX were right on. Humor and style went well beyond the norm, I got a kick out of this whole thing. Hope to see more of this soon, keep up the awesome work, RC.

Lol, that was different.

That was awfully strange. I love how this movie is all over the place. Visuals were ok, but there was hardly any movement going on at all, so it kind of hurt the flow. Your audio was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a decent movie, but just not enough surprise. I liked the "don't touch my plants" stuff and the ending was strange, but it just ended a little too short without much activity. It was ok.

[Rihm & Maurice 2]

Lady Luck is not with that cat.

Wow, what are the chances of that!?? Your visuals were nicely drawn; I really like how your animation captures that classic overegadterated touch toons are so famous for. Audio was done nicely as well, there were plenty of wacky sounds. Oh, please tell me one thing. After the house explodes and the cat is just standing there, what is that song from???? I've heard it countless times on NG, but I still don't know where it comes from, it's driving me crazy!! Anyways, style and humor concept were great. Keep up the awesome work.

[Desolation Teaser 2]

Hmmm, it's so-so.

It's nothing too amazing, but your plot seems interesting enough. Your visuals could really use some work, but if you've got a really really good story lined up, it can completely overshadow bad visuals for a lot of people (just look at the NG author Mark McPherson). Your voice acting is a little iffy, but I think you guys are headed in the right direction. I'm gathering, from what was said by the characters, that they are not of this world, or definitely different. So try not to slur words together in their diologue, it gives them too much of a human touch. I did like your audio choice, instrumentals always go pretty well with things like these. Hope to see your final product soon; good luck.

OOTC responds:

Thanks man! I wasn't expecting to get such a good reception but it seems people like it enough. This is really my first time doing flash which is why the drawings aren't too great. The trailer already has a ton more animation. You're right about the characters...you'll see when chapter one finally comes out. Again, thanks for the review and watch for my series in the future. :)

[Animal Crossing Parody]

Really short.

Yeah, it was pretty short. I like what you had going in the beginning, it's a shame you couldn't get those buttons working right (or didn't have the time to finish the scenes). The end was pretty humorous, keep on practicing; it wasn't all that bad for not being complete.

[Trashformer]

Holy crap, if that happened, I'd ALWAYS recycle.

Hey, not bad! I love the concept of this flash, very different. Your visuals were pretty good, the robot looked awesome. I liked all the colors you used and how you animated certain things. One of my favorite parts was how you captured the transformation by adding the cheesy Japanese music and the overlydramatic moves with the fist flying out into space. Excellent music choice, everything fit in it's exact place. Humor was great, I love what happens to the guy at the end, no mercy! HA ha, keep up the great work.

[Super Mocktroid]

I would never recover, either.

How the heck did the original Mocktroid get passed me? I'm surprised I never saw it before this one. I love the work you've put in to this. The openings were funny as hell. Your visuals were pretty cool, I ove those flash backs and that bed scene, ha ha. Audio was perfect, that song for the flash back was perfect, excellent choice. I really got a kick out of your style and humor; I thought forming the Super Metroid opening to what you wanted was pretty nifty, and that whole deal with Mother Brain was classic. Great stuff, I can't really recomend much except to make more :D Great job, keep up the awesome work.

[Dude - Episode 1]

Nice potential

Interesting. I really like your visuals and animatino style. Granted this is your first flash and there is a lot of jottyness to be found, the style in which you animate and draw shows that your the kind of author that definitely goes on to pregress really well; kinda like Joe Blanchette, just look at his first work. Your audio, though a great touch, needs some work. The voice acting might need a tad bit more emphesis on emotion and character change. I've done voice acting before, so I too know how weird it can be to say weird things in a mic, but it really helps if done right. Another thing with the audio was that the timing was a little off. Like after someone said something, there would be a noticable pause in the flow the the cartoon. Try to get rid of those pauses, it'll really help the flow of the movie. The plot was somewhat interesting as well, the only thing I can really suggest is throwing in some more surprises, but for the most part, it seems like you really know what you want. Keep up the good work, you show lots of potential.

TheZebu responds:

The time I don't have voice trouble is when I'm doing voices for the "Dude" character, primarily because he has no mouth.

[Mario Brothers - Part I]

You, my friend, are a genius.

Wow, all that story with just sprites, ahhhh, what an amazing concept of story! I love it. Granted they were sprites, the way you worked the visuals was great. I love the way you placed the Flying Koopa Troopas on different sizes so they really looked like they were swarming. I gave you a perfect score for sound selection because I thought every song selection was perfect, it totally fit all moodes. Your style was great, I loved that barge in and swarm scene; that was too cool. I hope to see some more work from you, awesome job, really awesome job.
