Nylo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["R"]

Excellent length.

That's probably the longest flash movie I've ever seen 0o. Very well written and everything. While the speech got a bit on the monotonous side, it was very insightful and informative. Great audio and hilarious events in the background. Funny ending and credits. This very much does Clockday justice. Great job and Happy Clockday :D

Da-Dinictus responds:

Ah, Darkmage. A good critic... You are right on the speech being boring to some, but, like I said, the ending was rewarding, was it not? I'm glad you still liked "R". A happy Clock Day to you too, Darkmage. Thanks for your review.

[Book of the Dead Trailer]

Looks pretty cool.

Hey, this doesn't look too bad at all. Granted I've committed great wrong by not having ever seen any Evil Dead films, but now that you bring them up, I consider myself lucky, as I can experience then for the first time....or something. Anyways, the visuals look really cool, and I love the music that playing the background; it gives this a really twisted kind of perspective. I'll watch anything of yours after that Skeletor's bakery masterpiece. Looks pretty cool, hope to see the final product soon.

CGSstudios responds:

After you've seen all the film, you will apriciate this trailer even more, as for Skeletor's Bakery, theres MORE planned for September time...

Cheers

[Gary Colman for Governor]

Funny, but a bit of a slide show.

While I think it's funny as hell, it's a bit on the slide show side. If there were more original animation and art, I'd rate it a lot higher. But aside from that, I thought it was pretty damn funny. I liked the slogans for Arnold, and the photos of Cali's current gov. I was watching him on Bill Mahars show on HBO (I always forget the name of it) and he was on there. It was funny because he wasn't answering anyone's question. Then he tried to blame not telling anyone about the debt on the secretary in charge of it, lol. It was just funny. Anyways, nice job, it was pretty funny.

Voxton responds:

Thanks. Yeah, the original animation takes a LOT of time. I would have liked to put more in there, but even as little as there was, it still took up about 95% of the time, that the entire movie took.

[aLiveJournal: --/--/----]

Long time no see

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days when aLivejournal was put put up daily on NG. It's been a while. Glad to see your still doing flash work. The visuals were awesome, I love the true animation that's in this, especially teh falling scene, great stuff. Awesome audio, like the swooshing of the sword and such. I really like th style of this movie, it's random yet very creative and original at the same time. Great job, I got a kick out of it.

rvyn responds:

The reasons as to why I stopped doing the alivejournals will be revealed in the upcoming aLiveJournal: Death and Rebirth, and will be resolved in End of aLiveJournal. The first should be released within the next month or two, and the second time will tell. I guarantee you it will look amazing (notice the screenshots at the end of the video?)

[Osiris Trailer]

Ouch...

AGhh, I wanted to give this a good score, I really did, but you did the one thing all to many a flash artist has done: you made a teaser instead of a trailer. I generally make exceptions for trailers (because we're not supposed to allow them) but teasers are a bit no-no. It's horrifically tradgic to see something that looked so good end so ubruptly and without much information. That just won't do. Your visuals looked really good and that city picture that was done for you really set the mood. However, I have to strongly strongly recommend you don't do this in stick figures. You've already displaid th main character with true to life features. If you combine these features with stick freatures, you're going to collide the two worlds and it's not gonna be pretty. Your audio choice was really great too, but it's effect was really dampened because it was cut abruptly with the movies also also abrupt ending. If you had some animation in this and a drop of story exposure, you could have really had something. It's too bad it ended so short.

Osiris-87 responds:

I understand that. I have decided not to do a stick version. However, this movie will be extrememly hard to make with animation because of the graphics. I am new in flash so I still have to learn how to use it. What I am doing now is that I will create a good totally new stick series. By doing so, I will learn how to work on good animation. When that is done, I will work on this Osiris project in full graphics with my skill that I hopefully will learn. Then I will create a masterpeice. It will take a lot of time and effort but it will hopefully be worth it. Thank you for ur great advice.

[Megaman Zero]

Looks great, but I'm a bit confused...

...what time frame in the MM universe are we looking at here? Is this pre-android when everything is done with those nifty "net" fighters, because the characters strongly resemble that time frame. Or is this after the Mavericks time already, since Zero already exists? Or is it just a paralell universe? Aside from the backdrop of the plot not making much sense, I really liked what you did here. The visuals look great, especially the cities and such. Nice sense of animation and character expression. The reviewer Smokeuman has a point about "rip offs" and making your own characters, but he goes a little overboard. If you can make these characters really unique and interesting, you've got it made. Just because they're already made characters doesn't mean you should leave it for someone else. Tap into their personality traits and really make them come alive; that's what it's all about. Good luck, hope to see some more of your work in the future.

morethanheroes responds:

Parellel universe of the megaman zero series, originals are on the way! haha
thnaks for your time

[Noob Sticks PT. 1]

What a shame, you'd just got my attention.

Damn, that was just getting good. Towards the end was when I was really starting to get into it...then it ended. It was really short. The stick animation is smooth and surprising, the way it should be. Nice random violence; it has that massive violence without thinking twice about it kind of tone. Pretty cool, but way too short.

ChaotixWarKid responds:

Yea, i ran out of ways for stick figures to die. I'll probably make a part 2 with alot more.. aiming for atleast a minute =/ thats real long for a 20 fps frame-by-frame animation O_o

[rEEER1]

Nothing great, could be a lot better.

Well, as far as shooting games go, ths one was pretty bland. There just wasn't enough change or surpise in here to make me want to keep playing. Sfx are really imporant in shooting games. Gunshots, grunts, blood splatters, good stuff like that. Having to shoot people only in the head is kind of tedious. You could make it so their needs to be more hits in any area besides the head to take a baddy down, but only head shots gets monotonous. Having to reaload is pretty cool, it gives out that survival edge. Having badies movie or get forced back when you shoot them is always welcome as well. Those are a few things I've noticed from really great shooting games on NG. Good luck should you continue trying to improve.

Thank you for the tips!
