FourSwordsKing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[4 Swords Misadventures 7]

Well, I have to say.

I'm a little disappointed in you. We, meaning us fans, have been waiting over a year now and this seems pretty short to tell you the truth. I do realize that your hard-drives pretty much crashed last year, but even if you had to remake most of the things that you were doing at the time, it would've been worth the wait. Other than that, it was a pretty good movie overall. Can't wait 'till the next one.

VicHD responds:

Dude, let me be clear about something here. There's no such thing as a perfect animation when everyone has their own opinions. If you were disappointed over the episode's length, I'm sorry. It's not like I'm making a 90 minute movie every time I post a submission you know. Also keep in mind that It's not easy to develop a project like this one.

Thinking about your comment, I probably spoiled some users with the previous episode being 19 minutes long. I went all out with that one. If I made the episode longer, it'll end up dragging the story and make viewers lose overall iterest in the animation.

Keep in mind that episodes 5, 6 & 7 were written as a whole episode (the same way George Lucas supposedly did with the original Star Wars Trilogy) and I wanted to end my trilogy in a short but sweet way. The medals ended up being an add on to the story and it wasn't originally going to be in the flash.

At the moment I'm thinking of possibly making a 30 minute episode for the next one, so we'll see what happens.

[The Game Trailer Collab]

Ah, yes...

this thing's been lurking around the forums for months now. I'm glad it finally came out.

I did join it when windowskiller was the original organizer. I had to quit though because of too many different projects going on. I guess I bit off more than I could chew.

ANYWAY....back to the matter at hand. This is awesome, I have to say. A bunch of animators coming together to put this piece of awesomeness together is really good. Btw, I noticed this: the file size was 20.2MB? That's a lot of hard work and effort then. Good job.

Archawn responds:

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went in to making this.

[Mystic Quest episode 1]

6 frames per second?

That's a little slow for a sprite animation, don't you think? I mean, the average speed would be 24 FPS for a sprite animation if you add 2 frames step of someone walking. 12 FPS for 1 frame. yeah. It's pretty good, but it seems lagging....no brainer, I would supposed.

CubePanda responds:

I know, but it was my first Flash. I'm much better :3

[Short : The Twitter Song]

Wow....

just wow. The animation was smooth, I must admit, but it's sort of insulting to see what you did. Some of the keys weren't even hit and they still went down. You'll have to work on that. Try to get things like they should instead of just making his hands go up and down at random. Have some basic knowledge of the instrument and make it go up or down when it's SUPPOSED TO.

All that being said, 8/10, 4/5.

psychicpebbles responds:

Thanks for the review. I know, the keyboard was I think one of the biggest bitches I've had to animate in a while...but thanks for the that.

[Funny LOZ Battle]

Not that bad.

except I would try to add more of a plot to this. Some advice: do NOT submit a flash unless you are expierience with the kind of animation you're using. As I look at this, this flash is very well animated, especially for your first sprite animation. I would try getting a little bit better at this.

Overall:
Animation: 8/10
Humor: 4/10

And that rounds up to 6/10, 3/5. Good for you first.

Llama555 responds:

Thanks for the advise :)

[A FBF Animation.]

Good.

But not great. First of all, I'd like to see more put into this (don't get me wrong, the artistic skills are good) and maybe you SHOULD just stick to tweening. It's the easy way out, but you'll get a lot more done that way.

ForNoReason responds:

Thanks for the review man.

[Sonic's TV]

Not bad...

get some voice actors for this. It would be a lot better. The humor in it was a little bit short of my expectations. Otherwise, it's a good flash. 3/5, 6/10.

~FSK~

MasterSwank responds:

I will definently consider voice acting If I make another sonic short.

[LoZ: My Immortal]

Not that I care but...

where the heck is purple in this video? Anyway, it's a great animation overall. Great choice of music. One of my favs from you.

VicHD responds:

I wanted Zelda to look like she was part of another band in this flash, with 3 of the four Links making cameo appearances. That and I already had 2 other sprites with guitars and didn't feel that it was necesary to add another one.

there's no need to make a big deal out of it though.

[Mario: The Uncut Deaths]

Not bad...

It's a great animation. All the scenes were perfect....violence,humor, everything that you could expect from a movie with Mario deaths. Great job.

MarioFlashMovies responds:

lol thanks!

[Rise Of The Fighter]

Not bad...

It's not a bad movie but it's not the best. It's a little short. Besides that, the animation of this movie is superb. It had great quality, great fight scenes, and, also, you have a great taste for music. Btw, try making the fight scenes more exciting. The fight was kinda boring.

Flash-Gamers responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to make another flash.
