clockwork-kubrick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[KK]Cortana& Drew Pickles]

...Why?

Honestly? I don't really know why you wasted your time with this. Any gathering of creative minds, regardless of original intent, can be used to great effect (Clocks, Locks are good examples). Yet the Kitty Krew seems to only create throw-away shock videos. It just feels like a waste of talent to create throw away on pieces like this.

You're a talented musician, for the record.

Thank you?

Damn good show, guys!

Good job on this. It really deserves front page!

Some of the parts are inspired, and I think in many ways this is better than the original.

My only complaint, really, is that I wasn't included in the credits (I was the voice actor for the outro glassbomb did). I'm not expecting co-authorship, but it'd be nice to get some recognition for the work I did.

Osuka responds:

i didnt knew that, sorry
when i install my flash cs3 again, i will add you in the credits
thanks for the review ^^

Dull

If you're going to make a critism about a series or flash animation, make it as good or better than the original or nobody's going to take you seriously. I almost fell asleep watching this because it was so unbelievably slow.

Yes, your observations are true, but by making an animation like this, you just prove how much skill the 'Awsome!' series has.

I don't know how much sense I'm making right now...

Good job on the Pheonix Down series, by the way.

AshfordPride responds:

Phoenix Down is the stuff from Final Fantasy that revives your character...

[Fanny Flannel]

Very fun, but not perfect

Very enjoyable. The best part was the cockney's rant, which was near par with a good Monty Python skit.

That said, you need to work on pacing.

Example 1: The song the geek was singing at the begining was so painful I nearly stop watching (glad I did keep watching, though). It adds absolutely nothing to the cartoon and perhaps is the least entertaining moment in it.

Example 2: Too much dead space. By that I mean moments where the action in the particular shot has already taken place (or the character has finished talking), you stay on the shot for several seconds before cutting. An example would be how long it takes to cut after the cockney's rant; wouldn't it be more effective if the audio is timed to finish as he disapears off screen?

But really good job on this. I laughed aloud.

OscarBaldwinStudio responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticisms. I think I'm improving now though. Check out my youtube channel and let me know what you think. Please subscribe if you like it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3NbqDgq-rA

Decent

I was skeptical at the beginning, this film had all the signs of a "bad stick flick", but it had enough going for it that it rose above that stigma.

The Good
Bringing the animator into the mix worked for the piece. The halo component had good enough graphics to be interesting, and the music worked. It got a chuckle out of me.

The Bad
The stick part and the halo part didn't mix. With the stick, it was too short and ended just as it was getting fun. I would've liked to see more weapon's testing. You might've had the animator get even more involved; getting annoyed with the sticks and playing some jokes on them.
The halo part was a solid average, but the stick part brought the whole project down.

The Ugly
Combining Halo and gay sex. *shudder*

Anyway, good luck with future projects.

Good start.

Good graphics. Simple, yet effective. The animation, likewise, was simple yet effective.

It was a little repetitive, but you've got the start to something.

Suggestions: Make a bit of a story. Give a setting, like a robot or toy factory (which may or may not be falling apart during the duration of the song). Mix things up a bit, ie don't always have multiple robots. And you don't have to be as literal with the song ie just because the song says "Everybody's looking for something.", you don't have to have to have someone looking for something. Have the actions motivated by the environment and the song, rather than just the song.

That aside, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what your next project will be.
