Luwano's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Combo? Yup]

Well....

....it looks very good.... it sounds very good.... now you should make a movie out of it. ^_^

[There She Is!! final step]

Great series

I really like "There She Is!!", every single episode. But the last episode disappoints me just a little, because he simply runs to the airport and suddenly many people help him. I expected they would defend themselves and change anything. But that's just because of my personal affectations.

Nevertheless the art and story are great and I appreciate your work. I wonder what will come after "There She Is!!". I'm waiting eagerly....

[Pincusion Companion]

Good animated, but....

It really is smooth, so fluidanims really sounds like the right description and place for it.
Honestly, the animation is cool, but the movie is .... boring. I can't find another "nice" word for it. I like smooth animations and morphs and all the stuff but this one is boring, even though the stick men fight and run quick. I've never seen that on a movie: Action which doesn't thrill me at all.
Don't get me wrong, your stick men move perfectly and I like your animation.

I'm not sure what it is, but I suspect it's either the music which does not create the right mood or your timing or both.

A good piece of work, but I would really love to see some kind of "director's cut".

[Metal Slug Last Chance 1]

Some constructive critic

Let's start with some negative points....

- Short: What can I say about this?....It's just short. :)

- Soldiers "beaming": Sometimes soldiers disappear before they reach the end of the screen. Or they "jump" a little to the right or left. Keep a closer look on the onion skinning. This should fix it.

- Tweening: In the second scene there's a soldier running from right to left. The background has a nice "up and down" but your sprite is running in a straight line. A motion tween along a path would make it look better. This way your tank could be riding the dunes instead of flying in the air.

- No story: A story is not mandatory, but definitely gets you a better rating.

- Auto-Loop: Make it stop and add a replay button. Auto-replay makes every video look worse than it actually is (except SOME videos when the auhors use it on purpose)

Now up to the good points....

+ Sounds: You added sound effects and they almost always match. Nice one.

+ Music: Good choice, but you should credit the music.

+ Animation: Besides the "beaming" mentioned above, your sprite animation looks good for a first work.

Finally, it's a little sprite movie, but nothing outstanding. A good first step, but now you should keep on practicing. NG has many tutorials, maybe they help you. (Even I learned one or two things there, and I've never finished a flash)

ILL TRY TO IMPROVE

[There She Is!! step4]

Great, really enthralling

The fact that this episode "has different color than before", like you said, makes it even more exciting. Honestly I hope the last one doesn't take too long.
In the movie, I like the group which is for the mixed love. Adds a new touch to it, really good idea. Or did they appear in the prequels already?
Hopefully we will still see movies from SamBakZa after "There she is!!" here on NG.

[(2004) Glass of water]

Knox....just.....knoxy....knoxiful....knoxellent

There is no bad Knox movie, but this one is the best. All time KlassiK.....back when klaymation konquered NG.

[Snowmen Wars]

Interesting style

The style is very interesting. Please improve the sounds. Maybe some gunfire sounds instead of the music alone. The movie loops, a good one should stop and have a "Play again" button instead. This little feature could really improve the way people rate your flash work, cause an auto-loop looks like a beginners work. If you are a beginner at flash, then you are really good already. Looking forward for more, maybe longer videos from you. Voted 4 (style bonus :P) & rating 7.

Columbus' egg

Would be a terrible flash normally. But after I read a little about the history of this movie and its impact, I now understand why it became so popular. It's only about having a simple idea first.........a very simple idea :P
