ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghost Train]

Definately needs improvement.

All I could see in this flash was that you've mastered inserting decent music into the flash and tweening. It just seems like a lost cause without having any plot or characters. The repetition is boring and make the viewr immediately lose interest. Definately not showing much skill here with flash, but it means you can improve.

Simply put more effort into a flash. Add a background and characters, create a storyline, it will all come together nicely. I'd be glad to help with it if you wish. THis definately isn't the worst flash I've seen, and I'm almost positive that you can improve from this. Keep up the great work!

SilentCobra responds:

Cool, thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on that, but I have prior commitments in the EGB. Get AIM and we'll talk about this later I hope? Anyway, as I stated, this is my first actual flash animation, made in flash. I do hope to improve, though this is not a career choice, this is all merely a hobby.

[Facebook Twitter]

You are speaking the truth.

You did capture the essence of the constant Facebook and Twitter users very well. The artwork was great, I love the way you animate you characters. The voice you used for Draconius sounded hilarious, and when Gigantor shouted "Are you mocking me?" I started laughing hysterically. This wasn't your best work, but it is definately something worth watching, good job.

I only had a few problems with the flash. When Gigantor was going on his rant about the boring users, I felt like the flash was going slower and slower, mainly because it seemed like Gigantor was just rambling without a cause. I also felt like the ending didn't satisfy what the piece was all about. Aside from those things I found the flash to be highly enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

[Baby Baboon]

ANother addictive song.

It's safe to say that every one of your songs gets stuck in my head for the entire day, I enjoyed this music video immensely. Did you intend for the introduction to sound somewhat like Surfin' Bird? I hope you will submit this into the audio portal, it should definately help your flash gain more recognition.

The animation was excellent, my favorite part was when the baboon was playing the bassoon. The baboon looked so precious the way you animated it. Baboons are slowly but surely becoming my new favorite animal, mainly due to this music video. Kudos to both of you for your excellent work.

[Mike and his TV]

Definately needs some improvement.

There weren't too many thing to smile at in this flash. I thought the ending was pretty clever, but that's about it. I don't know if you did intend the animation and drawings to look that way, but it would really benefit you if you added quality animation to it instead of just pictures and motion tweening.

The story also didn't seem to have a real plot to it. Mike gets a television and then his house explodes. It doesn't really advance the plot and I didn't get a laugh out of it. Simply put, a storyline is vital to flash success, this just needed more effort. Also, try to get someone to do some voice acting, that will surely benefit you.

I can tell you have some creativity inside of you, now use it to your advantage. I know it's easier to leave effort out of a flash, hell, even I lack effort on my flashes, but this wasn't that bad of a flash, I've definately seen worse. Stick with the basics and you should gain flash skill. Keep up the good work!

DriftLV1 responds:

Yeah, the animation was intended to be shitty 100%!

No joke.

"Mike gets a television and then his house explodes" Lmao.

[Red Weird Man]

Worth a laugh or two.

For your first submitted flash, this wasn't too bad. I like how you get a sense of personality within the characters, plus the red man was hilarious. I laughed at nearly every one of his random comments. The animation wasn't that bad either.

The thing the flash is missing is a story. Sure, one man knocks over another man's drink, but that does not make it a plot. Just being more in depth with a storyline will make the viewer want to come back and watch the movie again. Aside from that, it was a decent flash.

You have a good sense of humor, but you need to mesh it with better animation and a story. That should lead you to definate success. Keep up the good work!

[Macbook air paradoy]

A decent parody.

I got a few laughs out of this, mainly because of the manilla envelope joke. I also like the song that's used in the commercial, so you get a bonus point for including it. It's a good start, but some improvement is definately needed.

I can tell most of it was serious motion tweening, some animation technique and style is essential to obtain flash skill. A preloader would have been nice too, I was waiting for the flash to load for quite some time. The flash was missing those basic things, that's why it flew below the radar.

Like I said, style and technique make up a good flash. You already have a good sense of humor, and thaty will definately benefit you with your future flashes. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing new flashes from you.
