Reviews for "Behind the Magic"

yay!

yay! best movie ever, clock crew do suk...

impressive...

i usually look at the author's other submissions before i watch the movie;if i recognise some of his other work that i know is good i get my hopes up about the current submission to be just as good or even better.you are one of the really good ones as i recognised you from your r&f movies,which i really enjoyed.but when i saw the pic and in your profile that you joined the clock crew i almost screamed:noooo,not you!don't go to the dark sideee!
i was affraid you'd given up on doing good movies and joined those"death to it"crappy genre of clock movies.still,when i saw the movie,i was pleaseantly surprised to see it was really good.what made laugh the most wasn't the movie itself,but the ng viewers who reviewed.it was funny how the clock supporters took this as a tribute and gave it a 5 because they thought you promoted the cc and the clock haters thought you were bashing it,ALSO giving you a 5 because they thought you were saying"clock crew sux0rz!yeeeah!".so,in the end,ypou were unknowingly pleasing both masses because of the ambiguity of the message it was promoting.me,as a normal person watching this and not a supporter/hater(usually hate cc submissions,but that isn't a criteria to vote a movie,the ppl that have preconcepted ideas about movies and don't rate fairly are immoral and should never be here in the first place) i have to say it was really enjoyable,nice,fliud animation,the length isn't a problem as long as it get's the point across and the voices were really good and in sync,thus the 10 in sound and the graphics because..well,you drew the clocks like they look like with a few of your own touches that made them look even better.anyway,i dunno if it really was such a good ideea to join cc,but as long as you're happy with your decision,it's all that matters.just continue to be yourself and chug up some of those good movies of yours and i'll continue to be a loyal viewer.
p.s.:i know that the cc have made some good movies,but i haven't seen any submitted for 2 months or so when i started to vote in the portal entry;this entry also was probably saved for an unfair vote because i know you're a good artist and won't let me down and by 1 good clock submission:reporterclock's,that was unusually good and made me ponder about the cc real intentions.i really believe that the spam movies like death to it or "clock day",anti-clock day and sylvester k day were sent by fake clocks,but i can't really tell since there is no way for us outsiders to know who is a real member and who not,but still,you made me happy with this and will continue to tolerate crappy cc wannabes submissions,hoping that a real artist like you or reporterclock will come along and make me smile.good day.

Thanks for the extensive review. I really needed food for thought tonight, after all the shallow mided reviews i had to read and rebuttle to.

As for "who i've become" don't worry. I'm still old me. Just with a ClockCrew membership. I will still animate Ratbag & Furball and i will still keep improving on my style and flash skills.

You're right. I DID aim at pleasing both masses. But i really DID mean to support the ClockCrew. I simply said what many true Clocks already know: That even though Strawberry likes to stick around, he initially thought that Orange, Raspberry and Albino were crazy.

As usual i insterted my "bastard" touch into the movie. That's something i'd never leave out... :P

ClockCrew's intentions are not to declare war amongst Newgrounders. Moreover, they actually want to animate as a team and deliver great content to you guys. Unfortunately due to prejudice driven by too many crap entries throws even the good ones out of the window...

I'll always do my best to produce good animations. I'll keep improving, but i just can't tolerate prejudice. I got a lot of that for this submission and that's exactly why i animated this flash. That is the feedback i was expecting, because it proved that people don't watch the films before voting. They just click zero and call you a "Faggot fuck" despite of who you are.

Why do you think i made the move in the first place? I did my research and watched every clock film there was to watch. The talent is there. So are spammers. The thing is that every entry should be judged individually when it's not. That totally sucks and i just showed that it's a true flaw.

Thanks for helping me bring that much out and i hope to hear more from you in the near future, when i release my next cartoon.

Massimo Andrew Maitan--

P.S.: I support the ClockCrew but it still has nothing on me. I'm a team member. Not an ass kisser.

Not bad.

Thank you for flaming say4ct222. He/she/it deserved it. I found your short quite amusing though I am parital to strawberry clock's classic 'Hawking' voice. I found your work mildy humorous and think you could have given the clocks their due by simply extending your satire to fill more than a mere handful of seconds. Still, what you did was quality.

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Cheers.

I just wish i had more to elaborate on. I doubt i could've ranted on about the poor quality of poor clock cartoons for more than thirty seconds.

Meh... Thanks for the feedback!

Ok...

Well this was an O.K submission, i won't praise it, and i won't blam it. It's pretty good... could use some work, and put more thought into your submissions next time. Sorry.

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Awwww... You were doing so well, until you wrote "put more thought into your submission"... That really messed things up for you. Yet i wanna give you another chance.

I believe that yours was a case of poor choice of words. You probably meant "put more effort into your submission". If it's that i understand, because it's short. yet again i like shorts as i'm a "short story" person.

let me know where i could use some work, since you didn't really point anything out. In fact, you didn't point out much at all, which doesn't help either of us...

Thanks for trying, but you hit yourself on the head this time around...

yay sorta...

yay sorta but the voices are sorta crazy yet its funny

BTW who knows what strawberryclock thinks about the clock crew im guessing he doesnt hate it but is sorta bored of it yet he doesnt want to disappoint the clocks so he sometimes submits flash as strawberry clock

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Correction. Everyone knows what Strawberry Clock thinks of his followers and is no longer into releasing crap onto the portal on purpose. As "coolboyman" he now submits decent content and wins awards for toons that are deserving of recognition.

The reason we all know is because it's written all over the place. The real deal himself left me a few kind words saying that i did a good job impersonating him.

Thanks for the review!
