Reviews for "Cannon Ball - Music Video"

Oooooooooh

I'd like to start out by giving you this link: Lodger.tv. Now, I suppose it could be classed as advertising a site, but hear me out. Lodger dot tv is a site full of music video flashes by One Eyed Films. I would suggest to anyone who plans to ever make a music video flash, to watch these animations. They are the top most standard for music flashes. Learn from 'em.

Now, onto commenting on this flash in itself. The music is pretty good, actually. Which is rare nowadays for an NG flash. It isn't looped in any way, or just doesn't appeal to the majority of people. It's good. But more importantly, it's good, and it's not SOAD, Korn, or any other number of heavy bands everyone simply loves to make music videos about. So far, so good.

I didn't reckon much to the actual quality of the animation, though. Either you did it on Paint, or you are relatively at a low skill level with another painting program. This is really fine, because it shouldn't be the quality of the graphics which count, it should be how the animation actually fits in with the music.

And, to tell you the truth, it doesn't really. Sure, there are moments when the lyrics fit the action which comes a second later, but the "plot" of the animation doesn't really fit with the music. Sure, every 12 year-old likes Dragonball Z type fighting against random skeletons after falling managing to fall from the sky at maxium volicity. Unfortunately, every user on NG isn't 12. So, the "plot" of the animation has probably lost you decent rates, along with the typical random fighting scenes which everyone has seen a thousand times before. Look at Lodger or even There She Is (which has been at the top of the top fifty for God-knows-how long). Do they include any elements of what you have put in your animation (except music)?

Overall, it's above adverage.

Thank you for this insightful and helpful review. I will try to improve.

Good Job!

Very good! A very good short flash!

TheKrimsonKrusader responds:

Thank you for the positive review.

OMG YES!!!

When I saw the name of this flash I just had to watch it! I love Five Iron Frenzy and especially this song! =D
I really enjoyed the style you have goin here and it was animated VERY well for your first full length movie. lol I laughed at the "cheap lazy battle scene" because I'm the laziest when it comes to action scenes, but yours wasn't actually a bad fight scene at all. Again, I REALLY like your style!
I loved this flash and I will be stalking you until you make another... O_o;

TheKrimsonKrusader responds:

I don't know whether to be flattered or scared by this review. But thank you.

Good

I am honest to say that most music videos bore me by halfway, however this one was much better than most others i see. You chose a good song to go with the scene and yeah it did make sense.

If this is your first entry on newgrounds, it is really well done, i hope i can see more work from you later because i bet that your work can only get better and better.

TheKrimsonKrusader responds:

Thanks for the encouragemet. I guarentee you will see much more flash from me.

Wow!

Great work ! youre for a great start with this kind of animation :D !
