ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Terminator: Madness]

Worth a few good laughs.

I wasn't overly impressed by the movie, but it was entertaining for the most part. My favorite scene was when John pointed at Marcus while he was naked, Marcus' scream was hilarious. I was confused by the pose Marcus was laying in at the end, but I still got a laugh out of it. Decent movie you've got right here.

The animation could use some touching up here and there, but it wasn't that bad, much better than anything I could come up with. The voice quality could use a higher resolution, but I can understand the difficulties of translating languages. I found it to be pretty amusing aside from those few flaws.

I saw good and bad in this flash, but I can definately see you making progress and improving. One thing that was nice was how you somewhat stuck to the plot of the Terminator movies. Anyway, keep up the great work!

I tried make a Flash such that it could to look both children and adults. Thanks, sumidiotdude :-)

[The Unfinished Pile]

You show great skill in animation.

The animation technique you use is fascinating, I enjoyed most of the pieces you included on here. I thought the song matched the overall theme and mood that the animation reflected, it was very relaxing. My favorite part was when the cow was orbiting the moon, I was mesmerized by that scene.

I understand that this was similar to a demo reel, but I just felt that the Madness piece you included really didn't fit amongst the other sections. The animation was choppy and it seemed inferior to the tone the other parts conveyed. Besides that, I found this to be quite amusing.

Who doesn't enjoy cows? I love cows, and I praise you for including a bundle of them in your flash. It was calm and peaceful, just the way I like it. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Imacow responds:

Thanks, my Madness part really didn't fit with the others but I wanted to include it anyways.

Thanks

[The Pretenders]

Another decent video.

I have always found Nick and your humor style to be amusing, this was no different. The parts with the pizza rolls was hilarious. I also liked the scene when Nick was trying to find evidence of where the criminal would strike next. The movie was filled with irony, that is good comedy right there.

There were only a couple problems I had with the flash. At times the video screen would be black and only a glisten of a character would be visible, it annoyed me at times. I understand how difficult it is converting video files to flash, but the sounds were weak and some loud and other soft. I just flt it didn't fit together well. I still enjoyed the movie nonetheless.

When you and Nick were making the gun sounds at each other, it somewhat reminded me of Monty Python, I loved it when you juggled your "gun". It was a pretty good video from the two of you, keep up the good work!

Fro responds:

I think the part that you are talking about with the darkness was when the person was outside in the dark. There wasn't much we could do about it since we didn't use any lighting.

The sounds are weak, and I'm brainstorming some ways to make the voices better.

Thanks.

[Apples.]

An entertaining cartoon.

This cartoon really put a smile on my face. I think your animation style is awesome, it is very creative. The whole plot somewhat reminded me of the squirrel from the movie Ice Age, mainly because your characters were collecting apples and the squirrel is searching for his acorn.

I thought the characters you drew seem likeable and cute. The one with the bag on its head made me laugh since it was so expressionless all the time. I really didn't see anything bad in this animation, and the song rocks. You show great skill in animating and music.

I was amused from beginning to end with this flash. I found so many aspects of it to be gentle and hilarious. I'll be on the lookout for more of your flashes, keep up the great work!

SWiTCH responds:

Thank you very much!

[Dad 'n Me: Beginnings]

They grow up so fast.

I thought this was a pretty funny concept for a Pico Day flash. I thought the animation was decent, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the tiny jokes you inserted as each year progressed. My favorite was probably "I'ma pumpin' mah guns!" I also enjoyed the part where he beat up the tax collector. Overall, it was a highly amusing flash. Keep up the great work!

Gustavos responds:

I will! :D

Yeah, those tiny jokes in the intermissions were to make those few seconds less boring and/or corny.
