biggiek7888's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zone of the Awesome]

Originality with this type of animation = Win.

Even after voicing in one of the "Ego Tributes," I'm still not too keen on the idea, for one reason.

Your project gets trashed by people over and over for the sake of it BEING an EgoTribute. Here's the way I saw it:

Your animation design was something else, you had some very detailed design, if it when there was actual animation, it felt as though it had that "sandpaperesque" feel. But it was impressive to see, and visually nice.

The voice acting was decent, but the sound quality was not. My recommendation would have been to either tune up the noise removal with whatever recording gear you used, or to have just gotten voice actors from VAC, Newgrounds, or VAA with better mics.

I'm not too familiar with ZOE, but it did make me laugh when I saw robot with breasts then with that panel that looked like a penis. The jokes, were okay. A couple made me laugh, but all in all, I wasn't particularly amused.

But the thing I see in your flash is true talent. You have great design schemes, and I think, that if next time you push for a completely original on your own idea versus a tribute, you'll get a much better response, and above all else, it will be entirely your call. You won't have to worry about matching up to EgoRaptor's work. And frankly, with the talent you got with animation, I think it's a much more productive spending of your time to make something that comes from you, so it's 100% your touch, and 100% your work. Not that tributes are a bad thing, it's just that too many people mistake tribute with rip-off. Sometimes that's true, in this case, I wouldn't say so.

So all in all, good work.

I marked it as 6/10 for the reasons stated, but I still marked it as 5/5 voting because of the effort I saw.

Keep at it man.

The entire problem is a lack of recording equipment altogether, lol. I'm using a headset and the Windows default sound recorder. Luckily, though, this problem will be fixed by my next project.

Also duly noted to put forth more effort into the writing, and if a constant barrage of jokes are involved, up the quality.

I'm truly thankful that you understand me. I will most definitely keep at it, and I hope you'll love the future projects I have in store. This was a brilliant review, and I can't thank you enough for it...

....but I'll try. Thank you very much!

Was good.

Here are a couple things I think needed work though:

1. Sync was pretty off loop, I think to make it run more smoothly you definitely gotta do something about the sync.

2. Sound changes, something about the volume changed the quality of the voice clips from what I saw, I don't know if that's anything you can actually solve, but I'd definitely try something.

3. Some of the guards were a bit hard to understand, namely the one Sam interrogates and kills.

4. The music in the intro credits sounds like it's been recorded from afar, my honest opinion would be to find a higher quality sounding song for your intro versus what just sounds cool but has poor sound quality, y'know?

But overall, I think it was amusing and I enjoyed voicing Sam and Lambert. Best of luck to any future projects y'all got going.

Yeah watching it after knowing how to fix the Sound streaming problems is hard
I just wish I could've made this when I knew to Stream it rather than Event the sounds
Then everything would be in time
