Dylawrence's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sprite A Day Revenge: 2]

Didn't know you were still alive, it's good to see the oldschool style truckin along. yet at the same time, I think I've grown out of the spam N' eggs... I don't know. Maybe My tastes have changed nowadays

Horsenwelles responds:

its all about the experience. everyone has changed in 5 years, but who says we cant have another little fiasco again ;)

[Wonders of the Universe 1]

Great start you guys!

This story has so much character, and so many different aspects to explore... solid writing, and a nice and cohesive art design makes me think this is going to be a big hit!

[Powerful]

Hey, I remember this!

As always, the animation is excellent.

The gag was simple, yet satisfying... although you get dinged a point for reused material, and the entertainment factor is worth a giggle, but nothing more...

Regardless of these nit-picks, it's always great to see stuff from you. you always deliver the fun factor for mostly all ages!

[Pleasure Island 3]

Fucking awesome as always!

Fernando always had a thing for... "Manly" women. and your trademark sea creature humor never disappoints.

And I'm convinced that Gooseman is Robin with shades!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks, glad you liked it!

[Valdemar VH]

Pretty sweet for a first submission!

Seriously badass art style, although the closeups could be a little better.

you set the atmosphere perfectly, and the voices were believable, but a better mic definitely couldn't hurt!

you should work on drawing more frames in between their movements- (I know it's a bitch, but it would look a lot smoother!)

Oh, and watch your tweens, sometimes their movements are very awkward when coincided with the background

I hope this helps... & keep working on it man!

Kamij responds:

Thanks for your feedback :) I'm hoping to work on the 2nd part over the summer so I'll take more time on it, and make it better :)

[The Sketch Collab 2009]

It was fun to work with you guys!

I think my part could've been better, I should've drawn blue lines inside the "blue lined monster" so people would get that that's where the lines came from... (after my little dude blew him into smithereens of coarse!)

Well, onto the reviews:

Yhtomit- Your part was creative, it was like I was doing a math problem with Items instead of numbers

Fredstermaster- I really enjoyed all the background effects, it really makes the foreground stuff stand out... and you obviously put a lot of time into this

Digital-Terror- Now this was a fun little clip, it has a certain childhood wonder to it

Titan210- It seemed to drag out a little bit, this type of Idea should be short and sweet, which it is... but the timing could be better

Swishcheese- This was a real treat... It's exactly what defines this collab, and the work put into it really shows! and let's face it... ninjas are always entertaining

Serantis- There's not too much going on, and I couldn't quite catch what the point of it was <em>*wink*</em>

Jpb- Lots of stuff going on, and I really dug the holiday nuggets in there

Artyluck- One of my favorites... everything seems to flow so well with each other it really stands out as one of the more "professional" looking pieces!

ChaoticTrashCan- It certainly was chaotic, but it was pulled off quite nicely!

Evan210- Definitely the funniest one of the bunch... the faces are what saves it

Turntheheaton- It's a little self promoting but overall I enjoyed it, the animation was fun to look at and it has an interesting charm to it

Fiziks- The tank didn't really seem to fit in with the theme, but the way it was executed made it acceptable, and it really makes it stand out from all the other entries

RevolverOce- This is the one that I think didn't fit at all... it goes on for too long, and the sound effects are way too loud, but I know that's not your fault because you didn't originally make this for the sketch collab... still, you could've wrapped it up faster... (I still don't understand why this was co-authored over other people)

Zelgodes- It's so fluid, and the art style is just so damn likable... there's honestly nothing I can think of that would make it better.

M4x12- Now this was creative, I especially enjoyed the fact that my part started the flash with a bucket, which created the lines in the background... and you ended the flash with the bucket, which created the pencil. It's amazing how that fit so well, and we didn't even know of each other's work. It's a strong finale to the flash.

MrRandomist- I gotta say, this was a little too over-hyped, there wasn't anything too special about it but I did enjoy the doodles and whatnot to go alongside the written text... however, my name looks like it's saying nylawvence, although it has a certain charm to it, and that's what makes it good!

[EASTER EGGS]

-It took me a while to figure out that they weren't in any individual movies, but I think the whole "draw the easter egg" thing was brilliant-

Kane-Animation- Love the portal reference, and the style was fun and really goes well with the music

Dihoulaladine- Quite bizarre, but in a good way, I also love how the cool little lines zipping around create a nice interlude to the next part

AronKong- A very creative way to start/end the collab!

Everyone did a fantastic job, and I'm really glad to have been a part of this collab!

[Madness Experimentation]

For what it was...

I'm gonna have to say it was very well done!

I enjoyed the look of it, and despite what you say, the animation has a very nice flow! Also, I never thought of acting it out myself, then animate to that (that would really touch up my FBF)

the low points are obvious, maybe someday this site will get sub-categories for "test" flashes... KUDOS for the effort!

AlmightyHans responds:

yeah im no good at frame by frame so i figured rotoscoping would be the next best bet. ;D

[Shield Madness]

as a first flash

It fits the description quite nicely... & it looks like you spent some effort on it, even though the flow was a little uneven.

The predictability was too high, and the animation was a little choppy, although it was quite impressive as a first flash!

[Final Fantasy IV Parody]

It isn't bad as a reenactment!

But this isn't a parody, it's just the same thing you would see in the game!

try to think up some scenarios that haven't already been seen. or at least add some original art into it!

It also seems like you're pretty set on using sprites... if that's the case, try to work on original story-writing, or get a general idea of what you want the plot to be. because people who watch sprites generally don't care for the animation aspect of the flash!

[Teen Pregnancy]

That's quite a rant!

It would've been a little more enjoyable with color, but it's still entertaining!

also, (you probably already know) preloader/replay button wouldn't hurt.

overall it's a nice little distraction!
