Zrugel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[How to kill bullock!]

Your right about it being short, but more to the point, in the future try to have your movies explain something or be funny or tell the viewer a story. In other words try to convey a point that you set out to make the video for in the first place.
Setting aside the lack of concept, this isn't a bad animation, I've seen a lot worse, and this being your first I can see you have potential, if you develop your skills you could get really good.
But for now, keep practicing.

[Ichigo Bankai Test]

It's not awful but it's not great either. For me the worst parts were when ichigo's mouth was moving and then stopped before his speech came on. And, when he activated bonkai the screen blinked a couple of different colors, yeah that didn't add as much quality as you intended. that scene might have been better if ichigo turned all white, and then the stage or background changed colors around him.

you can play with colors for any movie clip instance if add an "adjust color" filter to the "filters" section of the properties window(ctrl-F3).

Also you asked about sound effects, and although I haven't found any anime sounds there I like, www.findsounds.com
not saying they're great, but it's where I go.

[DragonBall AF: Teaser]

This really could have been better, but having said that I have no doubt that this took a lot of work to make.
Skerry was right, the characters and pixels are awful but I liked the portraits and it had a good story for a teaser trailer. Also the was sound was pretty clear which was nice, except for when the background effects cut out to make the antagonist voice more pronounced. I think the sounds should have gotten quieter but not cut off completely.

[LEGO Land Ep. 7]

I didn't like it at first because of the silence, sound would be nice but it grew on me. The movie as a whole was long enough to get me interested and not so long as to bore me.

If I may make a suggestion, some of the frames were really out of focus, and I know you said your camera is crappy, but it may help to find an angle that is in focus and do most of the film from that position.
Not that you SHOULD do an entire film from a single location but the position of your camera relative to where your filming.

Trust me, this one and the next one are the last one's that are out of focus. Parts 9 and 10 are actually clear (10 even more so...), plus they have voices. Thank you for the feedback.

[Sonic's Kamehameha]

uummm.... yeah

this may as well have been a .gif file. it's good to start somewhere when working with flash, but i hope you're future projects will be longer then two frames.

[Anime Showdown (kind Of)]

cool intro

Its not awful, I like you're humur, the "not sure what to put here" was pretty funny. i don't think it sould loop, mabe have a play/replay button. you might get better character definition if their hair color was different from the colors of their clothes, a little more contrast might make the characters "pop" slightly.

[Ultimate Heroes EP.1]

was good

The sound effects were kind of mediocre. at first I didn't like pusing the space bar to continue but reading at my own pace was nice I'll admit. The story seemed interesting and worth continuing. i hope to see more.

I made the space bar as the peoples request, i didnt like it too
