Reviews for "Madness T E T R I S ' D"

room for improvement

i didn't really like how the bits of speech spelt the plot out to us, when we could have figured it out ourselves. although i did like the initial concept of combining madness with tetris'd. perhaps if you had madness guy having to fight loads of other guys with the tetris'd thing going on it could be an improvement.

Crazymonkey154 responds:

Hmm..... that certainly IS an idea there for the sequel, assuming I make it for MD2010.....

well

Im not viting low just because its madness

and im not voting low becuase its non violent

and lastly im not voting low because its a parody

im voting low becuase the animation was poor and it got boring fast, just giving my honest opinion.

thumbs up for effort though.

Crazymonkey154 responds:

Well, thanks for the thumbs up on effort. I'm sorry that it got boring fast, though. I respect your thoughts, but what would've made this more interesting? Please do tell.

almost awsome

It should have been a little longer and more random, there was almost no madness in this, also try making the action part longer there were almost no bricks falling.

I would have gladly voted high if the movie was a little better done, keep trying though, you could probably end up doing really well

Crazymonkey154 responds:

Very understandable. There weren't very many blocks dropping because when one of them got destroyed, it somehow caused an error in the process that stopped them from falling altogether. I'm still working on animation improvement.

Doesn't do the original Testris'D justice Just can't give it higher than 2 as the only thing incommon with madness is the character design

Crazymonkey154 responds:

Perhaps so.....

An admirable attempt, but...

For both the Madness series and the T E T R I S ' D video you are "parodying", this does not match the tempo at all. The music especially.

Also, if you are making a parody of T E T R I S ' D...what element of it are you making fun of? Yes, making fun. That's what a parody is, after all. I am a little confused on the message you are trying to send with this "parody", unless it's not a parody at all and you're just using the word to dodge bullets.

The camera moved around far too much. I really don't think it's a good idea to change your focus so much.

I do agree with previous reviews that the animation was a bit lackluster, and the video as a whole failed to grip my attention. In fact, the first time I watched this, I was unable to maintain focus on the video and had to watch it again to catch everything.

I won't nitpick on physics, since both your inspiration materials kind of laugh in the face of it anyway.

However, there seems to be some pointless action interjected in an attempt to make the video interesting, like the...I assume the character in blue is the protagonist. Well, he for no apparent reason made that fast-paced multiple walljump out of the pit that had been created by the Tetris blocks. As no more blocks were falling, I just didn't see a need for it.

The sudden cutoff from the music is also a bit of an annoyance. Try a more gentle fade in the future.

Like I said before, it was an admirable attempt, but there is just a lot you can improve on with it. A lot.

Also, try not to break the fourth wall unless you plan for there not to be one.

Crazymonkey154 responds:

On the contrary to your first paragraph, there really was no better music I could find for this. Perhaps what I thought "defined" parody when I made this doesn't apply to your second paragraph, either. The camera thing is understandable, though. And I have to agree about the whole "physics" thing- both madness AND the movie T E T R I S ' D absolutely go against the ways of physics.

Also, yes, the blue character IS the protagonist. I admit I don't always think straight about logic and reality when trying to make something look good. It has helped me at certain points, but gone against me at others, including points that you've brought up in your review here.

As for music, well..... I always just have it end before the credits scene whether the song has ended or not. Do you by any chance know how to make it fade out in such a way? If so, then please do tell me how.

I am glad you were able to give legitimate, respectable, reasons for why you didn't like this very much and how things could be better. Some people just don't seem to ever be able to do so.....

However, I don't exactly know what you mean by "breaking the fourth wall", or what "fourth wall" you are talking about..... please do tell me what you meant by that.
