ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Philosoraptor]

Such a ridiculous concept.

It's random ideas like this that make your flashes so appealing. The concept of the flash is bizarre, yet the entire time I could not look away. There could have been some additional animation, as starring at a velociraptor's picture is intriguing, but it needed something else so the viewer does not stray away. The thought-provoking questions you included actually were philosophical, it was funny how they was relevant to the plot and irrelevant at the same time.

The changing cell-looking background was pleasing, as the music you included fit the flash well. Nothing pleases the Newgrounds community better than memes, but I am surprised this does not have a higher score, as the satire of it makes it truly deserving of one. Kyaztro, you never fail to impress me, I will always be a fan of your silly creations. Keep up the excellent work, my friend.

[Information Saves Lives]

Pretty cool.

I was really impressed by the constantly changing style of animation. The pixelation of the helicopter was really neat. The style you use to draw characters is nice, you have a very recognizable style. The sounds were well suited, the scream sounded good and I like the sound whenever the styles changed. While the plot was somewhat misconstrued, I thought the overall story was interesting to follow. The quality also looks like it was done in video, was that intended?

I did notice some of the compression spots in the flash, it was distracting at times, especially when the girl was calling on her phone. The animation was fantastic though, I saw a lot of frame by frame stuff that was impressive. Besides the quality and plot, there really wasn't much to complain about. I hope you do well at the Sparky Awards. Keep up the good work!

[A Newgrounds Christmas]

It had its ups and downs.

I thought the idea of the flash was simple, but the success of this flash is greatly due to the abundance of popular characters in it. Simply putting other people's characters into the flash really shouldn't depend on the score. The concept was good, and it was neat how you got the original authors to do the voices of the characters. The animation was alright, but considering only a few of the characters you included were your own, it was sub par in my opinion.

The credits actually were the highlight of the flash, the voice acting was funny. I also thought the conversation between the Overlord and Mastermind was creative. The music was nice too. Overall, it was tweened at times and lacked some imagination, but it was still an interesting piece to watch. Despite my rant about originality, I still thought the flash was pretty entertaining. Keep up the nice work.

Jazza responds:

i actually agree, and it would have been a lot nicer had i given myself more then 2 weeks to make it start to finish. thanks for the honest review! good points :)

[A FBF Animation.]

Slightly amusing.

It was a very basic idea for a flash, but there really wasn't anything to grab the viewer's attention. The music fit the mood of the animation, and the frame by frame looked good, especially since it was your first attempt. I liked how you were coloring several of the figures at the same time, it allowed me to watch several things at the same time. It got beaten to death though right about when you were coloring in the flower petals, it seemed like you stretched the concept a tad too far.

There is definately room for improvement, as this was a noble attempt, it was visible that some areas were good while some were lacking. The simple animation was nice, but maybe trying a few more complex drawings rather than clouds and flowers will be more appealing to the viewer. Overall, it was fine for your first try at frame by frame, but the execution should be enhanced in several areas. Keep up the good work, bro.

Thanks! Everything you said will be very helpful for future projects :)

[CROW]

Very interesting.

Spooky isn't the word I'm looking for, it was more along the lines of frightening. It would have been better if the scream was louder, that was you would have effectively made me jump out of my seat. The plot was somewhat misconstrued, but the animation was awesome. It's good to see that you have a good idea for a story, it's interesting to see your out of your "Jimtopia state of mind" as well.

The introduction with the title floating from side to side was a great hook, I couldn't keep my head turned away from the screen. The music and sound effects were used appropriately to develop a scary mood, so kudos on that part. I also liked the character's reactions and how the crows multiplied consistently, it all flowed together nicely. Anyway, keep up the excellent work you two!

Jimtopia responds:

Wish I had more of a detailed response to give, but alas I'm just not in the Halloween mood anymore. I do appreciate your detailed reviews whenever you're willing to give them, so thanks much. ^_^

[Saturday the 14th Fun]

Very good.

It is great to see talent at such a young age, your animations never fail to impress me, Chad. I should have expected the scream, by the time it came, my headphones were turned up full volume and I nearly fell out of my chair in fright. The concept of the flash itself is very creative, I thought it would be something along the lines of them surviving, but I like how you put your own twist to it.

The voice acting was a little scratchy, but it was still easy to understand the characters. Did you record the scream or get it online? Either way, you succeeded in scaring the hell out of me. The animation was great, I loved the flashlight moving back and forth. Anyway, this was another entertaining flash of yours, it was great from beginning to end. Keep up the excellent work!

ChadsWeb responds:

Thanks :D

I actually put a recorded scream through a ton of Goldwave effects and came up with that

Glad to know it succeeded in scaring you :P

[Bitchtitties The Clown]

I'm left speechless.

I'm really unsure of what I just watched, but I enjoyed it. It could have used some more animation, as most of it was still frame or serious motion tweening, but the animation was good. I loved the expression on the child's face when the clown went up and licked him, it was immensely disturbing but I was entertained by every second of it. The sound could be louder and needs some improvement in clarity though.

The music that was included matched the mood and strangeness of the flash very well, I also was impressed how good the lip sync was, that is a difficult skill to master. Also, the priest part was so seemingly random it was difficult not to laugh, how you came up with a concept like this I will never know. Anyway, thanks for making me laugh and keep up the good work!
