TheCriminalDuder's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ng Voicemail #973]

lol

Great, just great.
Would like to see a bit more staff members in there but it's cool. :3

Ya know me and the guys always call once a week or so eh? :3
In fact, just made a call before this..... well sort of, we kind of didn't notice we called and ya...

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

It's like an awesome acid trip. : )

I enjoy the style and voices very much. The whole thing had me grinning non-stop.
Though I think you could sneak more animation in there, but that may just ruin it's special atmosphere.

[Mastermind]

ZOMG TITS!!!

I totally came! :P

I love the art style you used in this. The colors allwork so dang well and it's all so smooth. The changing angels were awesome too. I'd just like to see the Mastermind himself stand up a bit, I'm curious. :3

Also: I totally didn't just review this now cause I'm partying and it's funny how making tits the icon forced this up to #10(and rising). ^^

The-Swain responds:

Well, I like to think that the icon is attracting views but the cartoon is what's earning the score :(

Also, you just want to see Mastermind stand up so you can check out his package. Don't worry, it's terribly gargantuan. And also, he stands in ep.3, whenever I get around to making it.

[Tricky Madness 2]

Perfect.

I love this for so many reasons.
The protrayal of it all was great but the main thing was the uncontrolable violence. You actually feel like their going to jump out of the screen and kill you.
Wish the BGs were more then just black/redness though. :P

[Goth Lyfe 17: Daily Basis]

"Oh my goth." lol

Your getting pretty creative with this. The storylines pretty sweet. I'm excited to see where it goes. Keep up the awesome work man.
"I can't speak duck." lol

[The Halloween Party]

Good artwork but animation needs work.

The art was great. Mainly due to the shading. Try adding some more lighting effects. Just a simple low set yellow to white gradiat works great. Color bleeding is good effect too. Figure out the most common color of the scene/shot then cover the entire stage with it and set the alpha really low. (Like.. 7-15ish) Adds a great effect as it's easier on the eyes for viewers.
Your lip sync needs a lil' work. The size of the mouths aren't a problem at all. I could tell the audio was off a bit at times. Just try setting the audio to stream or changing the flash publish settings audio bit rate down to about 46-56 and quality to medium. It's rarely noticiable and works great. Add a few more mouths. All I saw was the standard opened, closed, and teeth mouth. No "O" mouth.
Eye movements and body movements durring lines are good too. The one characters eyes and brows didn't move at all. Which gave a stale effect.
Also: For your shots. You instantly had a close up. If you don't have a Vcam I highly reccomend it. If you do but are simply just cutting to a close up don't. Zoom in even if it's a 2 second zoom. It's easy on the guys and holds the same effect.

And finally... Rudy you dog. You say you hate mullet but both those dude had mini-mullets goin' on. :3
Keep up the good work man. Your lucky to be young. Ya got more time to practice. :P

Rudy responds:

I tried to zoom in for the effect, but the Vcam made EVERYTHING lag when trying to tween it in and out which was my main problem. I'm trying to keep up the good work, and mullets are fairly acceptable... No, scratch that, they aren't. :) Hah.

I lost inspiration and just copied the same lip movements from other lines, I just didn't feel like working on it anymore.

[Blockhead: Episode 10]

lol Awesome.

Always loved the animation in this. Even the lip sync is smooth.
Dob't worry too much about the preloader. I had fun makin' the beeb noise over and over. In fact I think I may have wroten' a masterpeice!

[Jim Day 07]

lol Poor Jim.

I really like your series. You have an unique style to it and it's good to see your improving it.
My only problems are they're no voice overs for the characters. The VA club on NG can get you all the voices you need and heck ask me and I'll VA for ya too. (I VA alot in my toons. :P)
Anyway if your just avioding the Voices to aviod lip sync then just pull an illwillpress and just have them talk and move with know mouths.

Also: I'm looking forward to what evil jary will bring. ^^

Jimtopia responds:

A great plot is already in the works for Jary, just you wait.

[JayClock!]

lol

Nice Jay. So this is why you asked me to email you JayClock from The DuderClocks.

[The Cirkus]

lol This movie is so getting UnderDogOfTheWeek.

And I'm so helping it get it.

Hurray for the return of SBC. Even if it may not actually be him. :P
