rvyn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Surprises]

very very good

This, honestly, is probably the best radiohead video i've seen on this site (and that includes talk show host and the rest), simply because its imagery is quite unique, and executed so simply. I love the rotoscoped imagery, and despite what others have said, the wiggliness is what makes it feel alive. in animation terms it's called "breathing." and of course, the use of the song was quite awesome :)

MattShaw responds:

wicked. Thanks for the review, I appreciate it

[Through My Emotion: 3]

nice

while i say that using the requiem for a dream soundtrack is a little on the cliched (and nearing pretentious) side, for the most part the images were unique, and in the end the final shot was probably my favorite.

[Firewing]

left me with an odd but nice feeling

I really feel incompetent not knowing how to convey what I felt watching it. The music was very nice, although a little on the loud side. It didn't feel repetitive, but I would have preferred a volume a little less intrusive. The art was nice enough, and again, the looping animations didn't get boring. There was one walking animation that was only two frames and stuck out as not at all smooth unlike the other scenes (like the fog rolling through the hills... it hypnotized me). All in all, very good stuff.

Virgilcomic responds:

Thanks. I apologize if it was too loud. I try not to be too intrusive. The volume is at an even level, though, so it couldn't hurt to just turn it all down.

[Almost Serious Suicide : Foamy The Squirrel]

not bad

i don't know if all the neurotically yours series deserves to be in the top 50, though... i really wish we could like lump series' together into one voteable group. my only piece of advice is DO NOT follow other people by making Foamy his own series. This pandering to the sidekick is what led to the creation of characters like URKEL and other sidekicks who hit the spotlight thinking it would be funnier, but didn't. keep him not the true focus, and let him steal the show. don't let him have it.

[The Mourning Leopard]

woohoo!

It's been far too long, makers of Pygmy shrew! It's great to have you guys back!

[Kung Fu 8]

keep it up

it's not the most innovative thing in the world, but the effort shows through. if you were to do another one, it wouldn't hurt to try to top yourself as far as scope. First thing first: add sound effects!

[Rocks Sucks]

woohoo

great stuff. animation and the sound design really made stuff hit harder and funnier. keep it up.

[stoned]

not really

i don't know how something that short took up 1.6 megabytes of space, but that is definitely way too large. Also, I don't know if you're aware, but marijuana does not allow you to see bright colors... try something like shrooms or acid or salvia or even ecstacy.

[Talibanned - "Bum's Away"]

woohoo!

It's been so long since the creator of Glen! Aaron, you continue to be the best character animator working with flash that i've ever seen!

[Stop The War]

good enough

i don't understand how something like, what, 5 or so drawings at the most could've taken two hours, but i don't look too much at the amount of work that's displayed as much as the final product, and in the end, the message is good, but the animation is short. cute though.

TomFlump responds:

yea it wasnt JUST the hand. editing the music, finding the perfect picture etc...
