ShadowLancer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Wars: Duel]

A good effort...

One problem, a huge problem. Stream your music. Don't put the whole song in there, or you get these huge movie files that 56k modem users don't have the patience to download. It sounds real cool, but it's too large and it's too long for such a short clip of fighting.
Second, put in the light saber sounds.
Third have the Jedi use their light sabers instead of flipping around. Give the arms their own layers or something and go with it.

Lastly, give these guys a reason to fight. Pointless fighting movies are no fun to watch. For example, make one of the sabers blue and the other red. Classic Jedi vs. Sith scenario.

Keep working on it, you show promise, my young Padawan. (:P

[Final Fantasy Tale...]

I find it easiest....

To directly draw everything I do directly in Flash 5. Plus I love the Brush tool, it's just... good. That works, and I think that copy and pasting a vector graphic (Something like that...) directly from Paint Shop Pro (Or Photo Shop) won't give you the white borders.
But like I said, I do all my artwork in Flash... so you'll have to figure all that stuff out yourself...
Since the movie ain't loading.... I'll just give you straight fives and a pat on the back. *Pat*
Stop the Hate! Live for the Happiness! Clock Crew no Bad! LOVE AND PEACE!

[The Portal Menace]

Very Nice Very Nice

This movie here has forever broken whatever hatred I might have once had towards the Clock Crew. This and a few other movies should prove that the Clock Crew is out there and they're out there for the greater good of Newgrounds. Strawberry Clock may not be king of the portal... but maybe one day...
The Music was excellent. The fighting could have been a little better. And in the beginning when Ki1o is deflecting blaster shots, you could have included a bit more towards that. Like he deflects one shot, sending it towards another dude. Or he deflects this hail of blaster fire... it's all good...
Very Nice, keep up the good work Clock Crew...
PEACE AND LOVE!

[The Double Yolker]

Amazing, Simply Amazing

It was like watching those great Monty Python animated shorts... good stuff...

[Wizards & Warriors]

Very Nicely done

Where'd you get the voices though? It sounded like one of those things that Macintoshes has... or what the Clock Crew uses for their voices...
I need it.. it's enchanted me with it's... monotonous (Gyah, need spellcheck) tone...
"I'm feelin horny"

[8-Bit Theater Episode 10]

Really nice conversion.

Kinda funny... basterd... Jeez, that's not how you spell it. It's B-A-S-T-A-R-D. Baka...
Anyhow, back to the flash thingy. Instead of just doing one comic at a time, why don't you do like 4-5 of them at a time? It'd take longer, but the file size wouldn't really increase as you're still using the same sprites over and over again. (And it's not like 8-bit sprites take up that much room)
Speaking of file size, good job on reducing it to only 370k... episode 5 was almost 2 megs... (It took longer to load then to watch... and I'm on a cable connection. Poor modem users.)

[The Ice Cream Man]

And the voices inside my head...

The song was what did it. Without the song, this movie would not stand. It's fricking brilliant, I'm actually a little peeved I didn't think up something like this (Instead, I got penguins)

[Xiao Xiao No. 8]

Very Nice, can't wait for the rest of the series..

Just gotta be patient and wait for someone else to get his next movie submitted over here...

[Tomahawk V NightHawk]

Not a Xiao Xiao rip off? You're quite right...

Because Xiao Xiao is much better then this shit that your tried to call your own... let me give you some advice on how to make this better
Keep the song, it kicks ass. Though you might want to lower it's quality to reduce file size... or use a different file type. It's simply too big.
If you're gonna use Stick Animation, do it good. This sucked ass. Take some time to go through each of these scenes and make everything nice and smooooooth. Like a baby's bottom.
Also, fix up your "Story line" because this one felt like it came from a pot head after a drug-induced nightmare. Or even better, make it so it tries to be funny instead of serious, you could away with that...
One final thing, don't use Microsoft Paint to do your "Art." Use something like Paintshop Pro, it has served my needs quite well when I try to draw...
Oh well, just keep trying, you'll get it if your persevere.

[Vampire Hunter INA]

It was good...

But the voice acting was a little bland. And the constant use of the dissolve transitions was a little distracting.
Very nicely drawn though...

ImageNation responds:

well actually it took us a while to get the voice like that guess people didn't like the tone we set for it then again we thing it's because you lose a lot of her voice with reduceing the 180 audio down to 16 but oh well thanks for the review
