rvyn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Sad Skater2-Radiohead]

woot! more radiohead!

As the author of another radiohead animation, i congratulate you with your choice. however, i still have to comment on the horrendously large filesize. please reduce the audio encoding, and make the song a bit louder. plus if you're gonna have a movie this large, at least have a preloader.

[All Your BLAM!]

bahahaha

one of the best pieces of satire i've seen on newgrounds. sign me up!

[a jolly good fight]

cute!

sorry for the description, but that's how I viewed it. You really need to reduce file size though, and you know how. It's with a little thing called audio compression. The animation in itself is pretty good if a little inconsistent. Plus you need to stream your audio instead of having play as an event. You lose sync immediately.

[Sperm's Story]

hahahahaha

that was great. and the last reviewer was right, the file size is awesome. only complaint: it's spelled "ovaries" not "overies".

Metal-Man responds:

spelling....oh well

[Rain Down]

woot!

radiohead music video makers of the world unite! (by that i made one myself) :)

[Armageddon]

oh god

i think that linkin park song has been used TOOO many times in newgrounds. and i would have preferred something more original than a cross between DBZ and Jim Lee's art. otherwise, not TOO bad, just derivative.

[MAX PAYNE 3D]

finally

that's probably the closest a person can get to catching up to xiaoxiao. however, two problems:
1) it's still just sticks.
2) now that swift 3d is widespread, i think the public will soon need something a lot more visually impressive than just more bullet-time effects.

[thistler - ROBOTECH]

shizzle

as an animation by itself, quite good. i am wondering why it has the name robotech however. i know, you said there were no veritechs, i was just wondering what made this prompt into a robotech animation.

thistler responds:

well.. i needed an idea for the robotech comp.. and i didnt want to ripp off robotech like everyone else. so i made a different style, different chracters.. different enemies.. i actually had the thought of changing the name when i remake this episode. the reason theres no veratechs is becasue they'll come into the series next episode

[The Annoying Neighbor]

funny

very funny and a great first flash. welcome aboard, take a look around, and keep flashing!

[Evolution (MovieTrailer)]

not bad

my main complaint remains the large file size that could easily be reduced by marginally lowering the audio's compression (you should still be able to halve the file size without any noticeable audio degredation), as well as compressing the JPEGs a bit. As a trailer it's decent, but the file size really takes away from being able to jump right in... i have broadband and it was still quicker to view the animation than to download.

LucidDREAMS responds:

I think the reason for the filesize is the jpegs I used for the backgrounds, audio was a very low quality, its 48k mono MP3, also the lighting effect on the title was frame by frame, so this adds a huge chunk into the filesize.
