Clovis15's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fenada 002]

Congratulations, you've come an extremely far way since you first began animating on Newgrounds nearly forever ago. I look forward to seeing more of this series.

nalem responds:

Thanks, Clovis

[Chrono Trigger: Parody]

Congratulations on your first flash film!

I remember over half a year back when I began teaching you the ins and outs of flash, sometimes having dificulties in the lessons due to English not being your primary language and the time-zone differential, and even then I am still most impressed with what you've managed to pull together here in your first outing. Congratulations, you've earned all the praise you're getting here. I look forward to seeing more great movies from you in the future, for once you know how to use flash you can pretty much do anything you set your mind on (just always remember to back everything up).

noname2 responds:

Thank you, Clovis, for all your help! :D
Without your lessons i would never make this flash.
In future you all will see my new creations.

Massive Props For Well Executed Silent Story Usage

While the artwork could be better, you did an impeccable job of conveying everything in your story coherently without using a single word or sound effect. Also, I really loved the motif of the musical pocket-watch. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil the movie's ending for anyone.

A tale of dreams just out of reach!

Amazing how much work you put into this, it must have taken forever to put together!

SERATO responds:

you are correct, the cat wants reach to the moon and he will do whatever without think about his limits, like we do wehn we love something. good interpretation.

Third Time Truly Is, As They Say, A Charm!

Your award this time was far well earned. The animation held up consistantly throughout, the judicious choices of when to cuss were actually funny, I never once wanted to throw up, and the voicing was better than it has ever been before. You have truly come a long ways since this series first came out. I actually eagerly await the release of Episode 4, whenever that might be.

Sunrie responds:

It is a high pleasure, Clovis, to hear those comments from you. Thank you very much. I know I speak for everyone involved when I say that the award is an honor and greatly appreciated.

We're even going to curb the cussing some more with Ron in the next one as well. Episode 4 will require at least 11 additional voice actors for the other characters, but I can't let on who it will be at this time.

[Captain R: Game Ranger 2b]

"If someone else didn't want him, why would we?"

Sorry it took so long, but I finally got around to seeing it like you asked. That was, uhm, weird. There was less cussing than the first episode, but there still was a lot of cussing. Furthermore, you people have a very mean sense of humor. I know this may work some audiences, but for me I cringed at a lot of the parts. The movement, and some of the voices, were definitely a step up in this episode. That was definitely a good thing. Sorry, but I just don't have much more to say about this.

Sunrie responds:

From Sunrie:
I'm not really sure I understand what you mean by a "very mean sense of humor". I thought it kind of matched some of your humoring style with things you've brought up in your storylines.

As for the cussing, the Game Ranger is going to swear a lot because that's just who he is. The guy is white trash to the core, which is what we're basing the interactions around. He's also based off of a real life person who really acts this way, so we're treating the character like dirt, which is where most of the humor comes from.

The next animation is going to be even more fluid and we have six new voice actors joining the cast for new characters. Obviously certain characters aren't going to be swearing and there will be a lot more action.

From Wyldfyre1:
...I'm a little confused on the review. Thanks for the review, though.

[Wolfenstein 3D Headshot]

BOOM, HEADSHOT!

You did a very good job of making it look like it was the game rather than a flash animation most of the time, which added to the appeal. I actually don't know who FPS Doug is, but I couldn't stop laughing all the same. Great work!

DuDuL responds:

type on youtube fps doug xD u will laugh too

[Captain R-The Game Ranger]

This is probably going to be painful for all of us

Well, I've finally seen Game Ranger Episode 1. I know you guy really like me, so this going to be difficult to say.

You see, you people clearly have animating talent. However, you need to work on your writing and sense of humor. Constant cussing isn't really funny. The ocassional cuss word said at the right time IS funny. When you need to have constant obscenities you're better of using the Censor Beep. The Censor Beep, for reasons no one really knows why, is always funny. In fact the longer it runs, often the funnier it is.

Also, Wyldfire asked me if I'd hook you up with the people who voice for me. I haven't talked to Dan yet (Gaspar), but I'll tell you this right now: Dan will not cuss for anybody. You should know that before you send him a script.

The one part I did enjoy is when the hero said he'd do a lousy job on purpose.

3/5

Sunrie responds:

Hey, thanks for responding.

Thanks for the compliments, first off. This was our first real venture into using Flash and the first time ever using sprites, so it's a little rough, but I've been talking about doing a remake Special Edition.

We don't really script, we just kind of run with things. In the past we've attempted script work (animation is not on NG) and it sounded rather forced. What happens is I know where I want it to go, and then give the person a basic over view and tell them to respond.

Wyld, Maximus and myself have already talked about cutting the swearing back a lot in the next episode (3), as it's been brought up quite a few times, especially the "God Damn!"

Most of the other characters won't be swearing at all in future installments, so I wouldn't be concerned with someone not willing to when we send them ideas for lines. Thanks for the help on that, by the way.

From both Wyld and I, thank you for being honest and writing such an informative review. We don't mind if people don't like the work or don't like certain aspects of the work, we just ask that they state where and why, like you did.

Can't wait to see your next animation!

Lucky Number 7 Takes the First Award of the Series

Congratulations on getting daily third place with this episode, making this the first episode to score a trophy of any kind. I in particular liked the parts when the Naga-ettes tried to marry Chrono, Lucca's explanation of why she doesn't like frogs, what Frog screamed when he first saw the snake, and of course the bonus the scene too. Keep up the good work here!

Cryokenetic responds:

Thanks man! I still can't believe I won an award! I haven't been this giddy since I was a schoolgirl!

...er....I mean....
