MonoShluk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cool Blue]

nice work

Hello.

First of all I'd like to say that I'm not fond with Motion Tweened animation so much, and with that said I would like to suggest that you try to make some classic frame-by-frame animation to make your charcters alittle more apealing and interesting.

Other then that, I kinda liked it. Those creatures were nicely made and the idea with the one eyed sunglasses made the movie for me :).

Anyway, You put a great effort on making it, and it shows, but sometimes sitting alittle longer and making it a little better makes a huge differance.

Good job,
Hope to see more of your work in the future.
Good luck.

Not bad

At start it looked awfull, but from its middle it gets alot better.
We all know the stories of those who wish to enjoy valentine's day, and unfortunatly can't. The fact I'm watching it without sound (Speakers are off) and still get the feelings you are trying to describe, means to me that you have done a really good job with animating your story.

Happy valentine's day!

[What it's Like in Japan]

Awsome work! worth watching!

Now I gotta visit Japan! :D

Awsome work!
If its you singing, you better not try to audition to American Idol :P (j/k)

[Somewhat Trailer?]

Really nice work! I love it!

Amazing work my friend.

Short, decisive, very well timed and preformed.

I love the way you use short cycles in increasing rythem to build up and keep up the tention (sp?) your animation creates.

I like the Final Fantasy V (?) battle theme, although the fact that its a midi file, doesn't do justice with your animation skills. Maybe its just me, cause i hate Midi.

Anyway
Very good job!
Keep it up!

[Animated Book]

A bit predicted but a beautiful lesson

I might be one of the only ones who survived the long reading. I must say, wheter this is a true story or just a made up one, its trully heartbreaking.

About the way its made though I have some "Complaints" you might want to take. The idea of turning the book pages is cute, but take to much time. It could be better if the pages turned by themselves or something...or at least if the "Switch Page" buttons were a bit bigger and at the same place. I know its a bit too picky but many ppl are not as paitiant as me, If I may say :P and might not "survive" the flash to its end. The music is awsome, fits to the story like a glove, although the fact that it repeats itself endlessly can drive one crazy, or at least make not wanna hear that melody ever again. You might want to consider that.

Overall,
I liked it. Its something unique IMHO. I haven't seen many "Sit&Read" flash animations so far, although its not yet perfect I think its a way of flash using that should be minded. Reading should be promoted on paper, Tv and even internet animations. I loved the animated words and effects you entered your story fonts. Those were really nice to look for with every page. To sum my long long review....you did a really good job.

COUNTYGATES responds:

Well just to let you know that it isn't a true story nor even based on one. But yeah, I do take into account the complaints you have, because I've had others make the same complaints too. You're probably right about it being a little too slow paced too as I'm sure a lot of people would of just closed it before the end and gave it a low score.

But thanks for the review, a lot of constructive critism that I wish more people would give tbh
