BMack24's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Infiltration]

it wasn't terrible

i mean the animation and effects were ok, thought the protagonist's body sometimes disappeared. it definitely needs sound though, get some sound effects and music and add 'em (be sure to compress them first though). add in the sounds even if this does pass judgement; you can edit your movies that are already in the portal.

Thanks BMack. Now I know this review is old, but thank you for giving it in the first place. Gracias.

[A Dream for Three]

how to compress audio:

1) find the audio in the library and double click on it.
2) next to 'compression' click MP3 in the drop-down menu.
3) next to 'bit rate' choose one from 16 kbps to 48 kbps to obtain the best balance between sound quality and file size.
4) click 'test' to listen to how the audio sounds, and repeat step 3 as necessary.
5) make sure the box next to 'preprocessing' stays checked.
6) next to 'quality' choose 'best' from the drop-down menu.
7) click ok.

BestFlashEver responds:

Unfortunately almost all of my sound is in .wav format, seeing as I watch the videos then think of something at random and type it into google. The sound files in my art (ha!) are rather small, it's .bmp (picture) compression that is a major issue for me. Thanks for the tip all the same.

[House Call Unfinished]

ok...

well if you're not going to have it done in time for halloween, then what's the point of submitting it? an unfinished, 10 second sequence doesn't have a chance of winning or anything, so you might as well have waited. but go ahead and finish, though, it's certainly intriguing.

FATSHARK responds:

hmm...from bad to good review but i will finish it, ill update my profile board to let you know a finish date.

[The Madness Code]

pretty bad

let's see... ripped sprites, bad original artwork, jerky animation, every gun sounds the same, and sound was uncompressed. not to mention it's just another bad madness clone.

DP responds:

Yeah yeah

[Blow The Whistle!]

ah yes...

this does remind me of the glory days of newgrounds... where you not only got a toon when blowing the whistle, but after you give the vote that blams or saves a submission (i was fortunate enough to see both)... in the ancient times before the redesign (but after ng was all sketchy cuz of all the porn ads... the dark ages...). good stuff, i liked it.

Androu1 responds:

Yes,I do remember the good 'ol times.I had to make some kind of tribute to these days.

Thanks for the review!

PS:I also saw the blam and protect ones,they were pretty cool :P

[The Man Who Loved Pie]

haha

i'd say you've improved somewhat. what do you think?

and where have i heard that music... this is gonna drive me crazy...

digitalk responds:

i found what it was, it was cheshyers and krinkles music video 1 music.

[Carbon's Day at SA 6]

haha

'twas amusing.

Carbonwater responds:

Cool.

[B Cause of U (in Halo 2)]

good stuff

pretty much sums up my life right there, especially the sniper rifle part. my friend is a sniping FIEND and it's pretty much the bane of my existence. but yeah, a good flash as always. good to see you making toons again.

JKR responds:

Yep, finally back to making cartoons after a while off. I'm not too shabby with the sniper rifle myself. It's my best weapon. Doesn't come in handy in 90% of battles, but hey, at least I've got something...
