Samuraikyo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rise of the KoopaKingdom2]

pretty neat

It was alright, story needed to be brought out a little bit more. The lamp thing was funny.

Flash question though if i may.

SOmetimes when you should background objects moving. The background looked fuzzy and estorted, giving it that 3rd demension feel to it like it was really in the background. I've seen this before but i've always wondered, and can you help me out, how do you make it look like that? You did it with a background and the flying koopas. I'm curious on how to do that and always have been.

dj-Nate responds:

Sure. You NEED to have Flash 8. You select the symbol, and go down to properties. There should be a little button that says "Filters" The rest is self-explanitory. You select the bur filter and modify the settings. Google "filters flash 8" to find out more.

[Random Pointless Battle 3]

hmmm

Not bad could use some improvements. Mabey a little fbf there just to make it look nicely done. Tweens get kinda annoying at times but most movies have tweens so i cant complain. Just keep practicing and making more and you could get one of these with a higher score.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks for the help!

[TLOZ: Link meets Mega Man]

pretty interesting....

ummm a little work is needed to make a movie like this better quality. By the way his name is "X" not megaman. i'm almost sure.

ShinjitsuXero responds:

-_-

Go play Megaman 8.

[Xionic Revolution]

Xionico responds:

[Fbf Aqua]

mmmm

i like fbf cause i think its ok but what you guys really need to do is make it look smoother....make the lines look more like there moving. They looked more like they were lagging moving. try 24 fps and move it better.

Xekojm responds:

Yea... i will make future fbf 20fps or more

[MGS: TAS Episode 1]

i thought it was cool. Make some more! I thought the voices could be a little bit better.

bvhj responds:

Thanks

[FBF Randomness]

nice dude

that was nice for your first movie. Hey bro how do you work fbf? I've been trying forever to try to learn it but no one tells me how to make everything move like that. You think you can help me out by telling me the fps and how to make the drawings move like that? If you do (pretty plz >_<) you can eaither tell em how here or e-mail me through the link in my profile. Sweet dude impressive for first movie! >_< plz again.

n00b-l0s3r responds:

OKOK don't be like that. I help when I can.

Set frame rate between 15 and 20 to get a good rate. Too choppy leaves for crap animation, too fast an animation won't get the whole damn thing legible enough!

Use the Brush Tool. Only the Brush Tool. Fo the animation. Use the Onion Skin for the timeline (there is a set of three icons with two squares each, choos the first one). The playhead should have two brackets. drag the left bracket to the frame just beside the playhead and drag the right one onto the playhead. Draw, press F7 to insert a blank keyframe, repeat faithfully and return to the previous frames for other colors if you intend to. Get that appropriate background music, make the movie as long as the music, add credits, replay button and preloader, test it, optimize everything, and that's it! Export your movie and post onto Newgrounds. Don't make crappy ones. Add variety to them.

Should of helped you.

[FF:Ages Episode 1 (Edit)]

hmmmm

need some practice bro........tweening and spritepractice......and needs to be longer.

RuffNTumble responds:

Fair enough.

[Little Less Conversation]

wow!!!!!!

man that was so good the animators were astonishing....whos Ambex? His frame by frame work was amazing. I really thought i could picture a person dancing! Richie nice work on the girl daaaamn! I wish i could animate frame by frame. I dont know the FPS for frame by frame though lol. Nice work guys. Im'm gonna think about getting one of yall to train me to draw animate instead of sprites and airmail yall money LOL!!! AGAIN WOW!

Wonchop responds:

Thanks. You can use the links in the profile section to see more stuff by Ambex and the other animators.
Also, this collab was animated at 24fps, though if you planning on working on fbf, you may want to start off with a lower fps and work your way up

[Beyond Gaming]

kewl guys.

i liked it but i found some of the artist in this collab to be kinda boring....not bad animations some were not good but like their movies were boring and one of them was like 10 seconds long.

Xionico responds:

XD thanks a lot for ur review, mmh i dont know which flash u mean tho
