DrudgeSkeleton's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DailyToon #484]

Great to see you guys are back. I was a fan way back already :)

TheStarSyndicate responds:

are u really 84 years old

[stretchy-man episode 3]

Good to see stretchyman using his special ability, that which makes him 'stretchyman'. I also think your animation skills have further improved, which is great to see. Lip-synching was pretty good and so were the sound fx and voice acting. However I found the plot to be quite hard to follow. The previous episode about the bread store was easier to follow because you let the characters explain the plot better. Now I don't really know what's going on. King Stickman comes to visit ? Stretchyman has to look for a magic cow ? And then there's no cookie for a thief at the end ? Hehe. I can see you put in a lot of effort. Anyway keep on making your own series I think it can be pretty cool. Definitely protected!!

Megacharlie responds:

I love how you review all the stretchy-man stuff :) thanks for the review but what do you mean by definitely protected?

[Sean's Poisonous Fish p.1]

Glad to see another one of your episodes ! Loved the art of the poisonous fish haha.

SeanAndSuch responds:

We're glad you liked it friend... thank you.

[milo.]

I think you've improved yourself again, especially animation wise. Your other flashes had a bigger story. So what I'm curious to see next is a combination of your improved animation skills with a great storyline. Keep on goin' !

Megacharlie responds:

thanks!!! XD I here you write music and i was thinking maybe you could write some music for the third episode of stretchy man.

[stretchy-man episode 2]

Wow huge improvement from the last entrances. If you keep improving like this you'll be a top animator in no-time! Laughed at all the bread puns, or should I say 'buns', get it ? hah. Also +1 for sheer effort and length.

Megacharlie responds:

thank XD! I'm glad you liked it. It took so much more time then expected (i got it uploaded right before bedtime) lol. I think that new episodes wil be a little shorter than this one because i don't want them to take so long to make.

[Have a Safe Halloween]

Thought I was seein' an intro. Turns out its the whole movie :(

MegaAdam responds:

As I said, this was put together in about an hour.
I'll make longer cartoons in future, sorry man.

[The Green Hunt]

Not a finished product. 'Why bother with a story line if you have o.k. graphix and awesome action', you must've thought.

Anyway yeah you got a great feel for action sequences but I miss a story, at least an attempt at it, and I also miss voice acting.

LevaBoy responds:

yes there is a story, this is a second part (the first is called "the pumpking night") in this animation I wanted to highlight the action. the idea is that if it has no dialogue is meant by the actions of the characters
thanks for your comment and for watching

[Sort Fishtank]

You succeeded !

This is cool man. I love the idea behind it. And I was captured looking at this just the way I was captured looking at a fishtank. I also discovered a pattern, or at least, thought I did :D It seems like it's putting the elongated squares in to an order from tallest to shortest.

However, to keep it interesting even longer here are some suggestions.

1. To be able to change the colours of the elongated squares , the background and the triangles
2. Some nice, soft, background ambient music ! There is sound @ a fishtank as well, lets not forget; the sound of water streaming, splashing sometimes if fishes get agitated, the sound of the waterpump etc. Since we are dealing with computers here, natural sounds won't fit. The sounds a computer makes best are pure sine wave sounds. So create soft ambient music using pure sine waves on different frequencies only ! This is quite easy and you can create samples using NCH tone generator demo. (or ask me)
3. Create multiple modes of patterns; let the viewers choose, but do not let them know beforehand what the pattern will be. In that way it will remain a suprise.

[One question : I don't see it sorting numbers, but elongated squares. I also see three small triangles moving.]

Great flash

theta4 responds:

I have another piece of fishtank software which has little bubbles going up, making sounds as they go. It's not on Newgrounds, though. I used to have sound on this one. The farther a swap operation, the deeper the tone. It sounded like elektroplankton.

I got the idea for this when I got the idea for a huge screen wall, like 15 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Then I thought "it's going to need something for when it's not running." That's where this came from. Sticking to that original vision, I have removed sound from the movie. I did that because, well, it'd be annoying to have "beep, boop, beep" going on and on.

But you're right, it should have some sort of granular synth or something behind it which changes depending on how sorted it is.

Also, it *is* sorting numbers, but the numbers are represented in the height of a rectangle. The taller a rectangle, the bigger the number.
