DrClay's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mortal Kombat: Betrayal 2]

Lacking

Your storyline is great, but it lacked sound.
Your music of choice was great, yet your animation seemed jumpy

The point is, I was hoping for sound effects, and such. It almost looked as if everything was made from photos, maybe increase your fps or so, because I would love to see you improve. Because that is all you need, improvement

kamionero responds:

Thank you! that's great criticism!
I am def. a begginer when it comes to animation, so ur advice is soundly taken!
I hear you on the sound thing (lol no pun intended) but when i definetly failed at sound coordination, i just cant get it right, so i just decided to go w the music video style.

[The SuperHero Collab]

pretty neat

Original, and nice art. But some of the sketches were not as funny, or had a little bad art. But some of it had really good jokes, so far my favorite is the batman one where he just fell down... that and "captain planet" one. I believe the Captain Planet one had the best art. Nice ending. :)

Makeshift responds:

Thanks for reviewing :D

[The 5 Hour Collab IV]

I still wish you didn't cut my part :P

If you want you could delete the V-Cam and re-edit it, but it doesn't matter. Anyway everyone did a great job on their parts, and thanks for the Co-Author.

LOL it says Techno in the Co-Author list twice.. Anyway, I am already looking forward to the next 5 hour collab if there is going to be one. PM when you do it please :P

M4KBOT responds:

yeah, sorry again man. But it was all down to time constraints and all. If you want I can re edit yours later in full :D

[A man called paul]

Its okay

I love the frame rate, and it had its own style. Your graphics could use some adjustments, like some shading or something. Though it still looks like the style of how a birthday card might actually look.

Did you use his permission to use their photos though?

kojay responds:

i dont do shading

[bluh bluh bluh.]

Awesome Claymation

I love all the effort you put into the facial expressions of the scientist. I also, love how its just a simple short, and nothing too extreme. One thing I noticed is your ability to make a character stand, even if they are off balance. Like when the scientist first walks away, how did you manage to keep him from falling over? I am adding this to my favorites. I look forward to seeing your future projects, if you plan on making any.

RWappin responds:

The floor was a peg board and I could screw his feet into the floor. Also, I had a lot of trouble getting him to walk like that at first because the wire I used for his legs was too thin. I had to find some thicker stuff to get him to do that, haha.

Beautiful

This flash, has original style, excellent music, and a very good story. It really upsets me that some people don't appreciate the work put into this cartoon. In my opinion, this flash deserves to win the monthly vote. If it doesn't I am really going to be pissed off. I didn't quite understand the whole thing but I did enjoy it, it seemed like the main character became the center of his solar system...
I really enjoyed the background art as well, its like things I drew when I was bored in math class. Brilliant piece of work, I really hope this gets the score it deserves, because it sure seems overlooked to me. Also, is that ending music from Chrono Trigger, because I think it might be but I dunno...

Good luck with all of your future projects

Butzbo responds:

Thanks for an awesome review!,
i'm glad you appreciated the details,...
It didn't did monthly but still got frontpaged for a while!
Aaand yes!, Chrono trigger!
...
EDIT -
WHOAH!!!,
Also... Uber-thanks for that banner on your sig :D !!

[SSBB - Luigi Vs. Kirby]

Nice job

You did a good job with the sprites and smoothing them out, and the story was nice as well, it was short but still awesome. Bravo

MikeyTheYoshi responds:

Thanks.

[The Eyes Have It]

Clever

I found it quite funny. Its also one of those things that are simple yet you cannot get enough of. I give you 5/5. I hope you make some more humorous cartoons

AdamNovagen responds:

Thanks DrClay! Actually, I mostly focus on drama, but I always like to have a bit of humor here & there.

[Super Mario RPG 2: TDS P1]

your sprite quality can use some work

your sprite quality could use some work you know. I mean they were all blurry and stuff. Convert the images to movie clips and add some frames in those movie clips or something that usually fixes it for me. though i dunno if thats the problem you are dealing with. You should of told us what the problem was so we could help. you should also increase the frames to make the animation smoother. but you did a very good job. Especially for a first flash.

ikool responds:

Yea... I didn't make it much better until I figured out on how to use a V-Cam, then the animations seemed to get better, and it made the animating process a whole lot faster ^-^.

[Former Lee Warmer]

hmmm pretty good

heh this isnt that bad you know. I like your style. Frame animation is nice and smooth. The art is nice. It lacked a little more art but i kinda liked it as it was because i believe it was just fine. Only problem was that it was just a bit repeative at points. Like you see the purple coat guy look out the window like 5 times. ...make that 6...7.. yeah i just saw him do it more. Though it was really nicly done. I never heard the song before so it was new to me. Very good.

thornebush5 responds:

The video is supposed to have the feel that you're seeing every event happen at about the same time, but more frequently as time goes by. Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it.
