St3lf's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

.....

it's not awful...but it isn't good either. i mean, it's a beginners animation, you can tell by the sloppy movements and not great physics. your effects are good for a beginners try, but again, need improvement, take a look at 'entanglement' or another great stick animation in order to see what really good effects look like. i mean, i wouldn't expect your first 'real' try to have effects that great in it, so i'm not saying there was anything wrong with the effects, just y'know, in future they need improving.

you're pretty lucky you submitted this on a slow day, on any other day, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't have made any where near the daily feature. and to be honest i dont think it deserves even a daily top 5. but it was a decent effort and it'd be good to see improvement in the future.

i'm not trying to be harsh, i actually really like stick fights, and this was okay. just not great, and i'm trying to give you pointers for the future :)

Thanks. I'll look up entanglement.

[GhostFight-BOS-Part1]

agreed with tman

how the hell does this have a score as low as 3.31, this animation is frikkin awesome, amazing effects, fantastically smooth and entertaining as hell...i dont know how someone could click any button lower than 4/5...deserves far higher

[Jumpin']

gutted

a bit gutting for you considering when that idiot stole this and submitted it he got 10 reviews and a score of 3.22, and then when you, the original author submits it, you get a dissapointing 3 reviews and a score of 2.84, bit of injustice methinks.

anyway, back to it, i think its cool, the effects were good. but i think the fighting was a little bit choppy, and the fight moves didnt look as powerful as they should. the raffi kick was pretty cool though and overall its a good animation. im torn between a 6 and a 7, but i'll give a 7 <3

really good dude

this was really good dude, a nice tribute to ringfinger. i actually enjoyed it quite a bit, its obvious you worked hard and the background really gave it the 'battlefield' feel. ive actually wanted something new like this to come out for a while and this was definately enough to please me. i'll most likely watch it again. it had all the randomness of the real battlefield series and was animated nicely. probably one of the best pieces of work you have personally come out with, and i think it should definately get a daily award of some kind, it deserves it. the way you made the guy slice in half when he got hit with the axe was cool xD and the whole animation was generally really good too.

anyway really good job well done :) i give it 8/10 but to be honest i voted 5/5

[Cross fire stickfigure]

meh

it wasn't great. i mean, it wasn't bad to watch, but no way was it animated well. it well hell sloppy, fairly choppy, backgrounds left alot to be desired and the blood was way overdone and didnt look very good.

however it had length which is always good to see, just brush up on your backgrounds, improve blood and dont go too over the top with it. try and make it smoother and make your sticks less sloppy. your animation skills need alot of improvement but i can see the potential is there. but overall i'm a bit suprised to see this in the daily top 10.
i/d give it a 2.5/5, 5/10

good luck in future anims anyway :)

[Platforms¹³]

love it

i love this thing, smooth, entertaining, original, can't complain about it really

[Inclines¹³]

awesome

ive been waiting for you to make another one of these for ages :p
its great, so smooth, one thing i will say is that i wish it was a bit longer and that more stuff happened. but it was great well done :) maybe not quite as good as platforms though :P

[The Ceiling]

hehe

i like the bit where the other guy came in and said he got in through the door...and i thought it was clever in the way that by then the big box type thing was blocking it.

but it was too short and the animation kinda left alot to be desired, but good job anyways :)

DikkopStudios responds:

You like giving people a bad score? What u say is true, but stop reviewing my things if u don't like them

[Fast Guys]

not too bad...

it was okay...just okay. not good, not terrible. basically, it was just blurrs flying around...blurs flying around does not make a good animation. i'd like to see a proper fight, proper fight moves...at the moment its just monotonous and boring...and also seems lazy in that theres not much animation involved other than blurrs flying about. you made it in one day...that says alot about it. im wondering how it got a score of 3.6. because in all honesty i dont think it deserves it...but sure, its better than some stuff here on NG anyways, so at least thats a plus...but spend some time on something (a few months) and make it some good length, and make it interesting. because im sure then it will be worth watching, whilst what it is at the moment...is fairly uninteresting.

DikkopStudios responds:

It has such a high score cuz I vote on it every day to get my exp
And that mountain of words doesn't help me at all cuz I animate way differently now.

:-/

you said yourself that you welcome negative reviews, but all i've seen you do is bash them, saying that they don't see the 'bigger picture' etc... so what is the bigger picture?

anyway, i dont think its a bad flash in the sense that its badly animated and rubbish, but its just horribly weird, the amount of pissing and crapping...i dunno, didnt make me feel great about it cuz thats mostly all there was, along with weird music to make me feel like i was in a surreal world O_o

some people have said that the part with the KKK member is bad/wrong, now, i know what they're saying, but personally, i dont see anything wrong with it, it's not like you were promoting racism, just making a joke out of the people that are, so no, not a bad thing...which means i disagree with alot of people here.

overall though, i feel the flash was lacking quite alot, i cant really put my finger on a proper reason why, besides the fact that it was weird, it just didn't interest me alot, although i did watch it all the way through to see how it turned out. but to be honest, it was mostly based on pissing and crapping and vomiting on whatever is there, almost every scene has at least one of them in.

i realise why people give good scores and the merits in it and just generally how you can view it as good and how experimental is good. it's just that for me it didn't go so much into the good section, however, unlike some people i didnt find it unbarebly bad either. i appreciate the fact that you experimented and the fact that although i find it fairly weird, the animation on the whole is pretty good...which also gives you points...so i guess i'll give you a middle score.

ReZTeR responds:

I welcome any comments, negative or positive. I take them all on board but I'm gonna try to protect the integrity of my art. That doesn't mean I'm "bashing" negative comments. At the end of the day, this piece has a lot of intentions and objectives and a lot have been achieved but some are completely unrealistic. But that's what art is all about, always striving for that thing to make you better, always aiming for the unattainable, because if you feel fulfilled artistically, you lose the will to create.
