Voxton's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dirtwater Telegraph]

Absolutely utterly freakin great

Fantastic work, just completely fantastic.

It is easier to say what's "bad" about this movie, than what's good, cos there are so many good things...

So lemme say, I think the simulated film scratches were very nice, but a little overdone, which made them slightly distracting. I know alpha effects take up space and processing speed, but maybe the scratches would be less noticable if they were grey instead of black? Just my opinion -- and the only thing I can think of, that is bad.

This movie is excellent, I really liked it. The music is fantastic also -- it is used on another animation here on Newgrounds, "A field guide to tripping" or something like that -- I forget. Great music.

There was a scene change early in this movie, that I liked a lot... When the main character is writing up his plans, while at the desk, you start out from his perspective, or an over-shoulder perspective, and then you switch to a perspective in front of the desk, looking back at him, with the window and the outside in the background... Making Flash movies is hard on many accounts, but some of the stuff that I struggle with, are perspectives and continuity. That switch of perspective was really good. Being able to think of a seemingly simple thing like that does not come easy. I think I learned something from it.

Great work!

[Goodbye Bluesky]

Powerful

I would never have thought of putting that piece of music to these events. This is quite powerful.

[Field Guide to Snapping]

Brilliant

Absolutely awesome job, great animation, very good stuff. Great music tool

[Climbing the Walls]

Unique! A one-of-a-kind, excellent movie

This is an excellent movie, really really good. One-of-a-kind. I'm not even a fan, but the music FIT just perfectly. The smile at the end was superb. Dark, classy, bittersweet, crazy. I think you did a helluva great job man. Don't listen to the dweebs who give crap votes cos the graphics isn't all that good -- those are just kids who don't recognize the effort, nor the quality of the little plotline (and of course 99% of them have never made a movie themselves). Excellent job man, I'm impressed. Keep it up :)

[Bird!!]

Excellent

Very nice graphics and animation! The way the background scrolled, the clouds changed shape, the shadows on the ground, the animation of the bird flying, really really nicely done!! Great job!

Squigo responds:

Thank you very much, I have a thing for detail, the next movie i'm making is even more detailed and longer ... i think i'm gonna call it "Drunk Mosquito". So far i have the first 7 scenes done, only about 20 more to go.
coming soon. Thax again.

You are shallow.

Yes, the old U. S. of A. did all of those things that you describe, and plenty more, tons more. What's your point? Every nation has dirty laundry. Every single one of them. But not every single one of them has a constitution that protects free speach. Not every single nation has a constitution that enables retards like you to make a dumbass, worthless 2057k movie that is a complete waste of space... Yeah, John Wayne was an asshole, so were 90% of every politician this joint has ever seen (this goes for the rest of the world). Just get off your high fucking horse and don't pretend you have something PROFOUND to tell us, talking about "patriotic American whiteboy" pal -- this 2gig waste of space piece of shit is as much of a valid comment on this country, as a fucking Barney the Dinosuar song. You wanna be profound, and make movies that send a message, that have a meaning? Wait a few years, ok. A lot of years. This movie is shallow. And so are you.

[Industry Standard]

Beautiful

Orson Welles and Sergei Eisenstin couldn't have done it better.

[ATM]

The Reason

Nice graphics, and good background sound.
Not to piss in anyone's cheerios, but the reason why there's braille on the drivethrough ATMS, is just because the normal ATMs have it. Blind people can use normal ATMs. Assembeling, and storing two different models, with and without braille would be less cost efficient. Just keeping a stock of one single model of ATMs is easier. That's all.

BREADSTORM responds:

i figured that it was cost efficientct to do it that way, but we live in a world where a person can get sued for looking at someone wrong. you would think they'd go the extra 5 cents to take the braile buttons off of the machines. :) -thanks for your comment-

Short, Sweet

Short and sweet.

[Just Ride]

That felt like snow

I used to ski a LOT. So I know what it feels like. And your movie totally nailed the feeling... That feeling you get sometimes, being out there alone. Just skiing, just riding, just going, just -- being. Like a damn Zen thing. I make Flash movies too, so I really appreciate this piece, in that respect also. A really nice balancing act. End credits on the lift were a nice touch. Excellent, man, just excellent.
