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!

Brilliant

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

[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-
