People will never appreciate the effort you go through to create something as visually appealing as this.
In the world that is Newgrounds, people say it's the storyline that carries a movie and that animation, eye-candy only plays 2nd fiddle, a support mechanism if you will. But umm...hello? Is this a portal for would-be directors of hollywood movies? No...it's a flash portal and what is 'flash' essentially? It's an ANIMATING program! If you want a good storyline, go read a book! It should be the 'graphics' or animation that carries a movie, and everything else should used to support that! But sadly, that's not the reality of things.
Most of the Top 50 material aren't visually stunning, but they make up for it with clever ideas or good plots... and for some reason they're considered the best pieces of 'flash' work out there!? ie. the artists of those movies are the most-skilled 'flash' artists on NG!? I'm a lil confused. I'd probably argue that they're obviously the most talented 'overall-artist' but perhaps not the best animator/artist of 'flash'.
I'm not saying that the only important thing is 'graphics graphics graphics', but god, people gotta stop neglecting a talented flash animator when they see one. I mean, you could be the best flash animator in the world but people will flame you for not being a good director, or a good storywriter, or a talented sound editor. Is that what's expected from an 'animator' of 'flash' these days? Well according to the people of NG, I guess it is.
So if all you wanna do is make it to the Top 50, make something that has an orginal concept, a great storyline and good sound. The graphics should be 'ok' but don't spend too much time on it! Alternatively, create a flash movie based on a popular video game (Final Fantasy, Mario, Megaman, Zelda) make it mediocre and the biased views that is the NG audience will love it and label your movie as the best flash work they've ever seen!

the problem is, most people dont know how hard stuff is
Can't wait for the Movie
It's about time someone did a real good robot movie, especially with those kinda graphics, please keep it up and to all who think this is a I, Robot rip-off go fuck yourselves. This is obviously not a I,Robot rip-off, but something that will be totally different and original. You don't see too much sci-fi on newgrounds thats not a tribute to something thats already been done a million times. GREAT WORK CHRIS.
fukinCR1M1N4L responds:
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo much
and again, thank relinquished as he did a lot of this preview
SERIOUS sound issues...
Your update clearly says this movie will not be a rip-off of that other robot movie, "I, Robot." I cannot agree or disagree with your statement because this movie is JUST a preview of what is to come.
My main problem, and it is a big problem, is the sound issues throughout your movie. It seems like you added sound at the same level of volume. The "All robots please report" repeating line seriously overlapped the narrative. I was lucky enough to spot the text on the screen to hear what the narrator was saying. Speaking of that "All Robots Please Report" line, it could have been faded out near the beginning of the preview. By the end of the flick, that statement was drilled so far into my head that I was almost ready to click the X on your hard work. Lets hope you find a way around these sound issues for the actual release.
Other than that, the animations were impressive eye-candy of the third dimesion. The style was also slick, coating the entire setting in a fuzzy blue. It will obviously have more meaning when the final movie is released. Goodluck with it, and don't let this project die!
Note: Giving a 0 to a Catergory simply means it DOES NOT apply to the submission.

lol
but thanks for your review
i guess we could use all robots please report to get stuck in your head, that way you remember what it is
Looks good.
Will the robots freakin' report already!!!
But seriously, nice 3D work. I think people keep yelling the I-Robot thing because of the heads of the robots looking strangely similar to those in the movie. Other than that, a robot gaining a soul in a robot only world is a neat idea. So many weird reprocussions and plot possibilities. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see how this develops.
fukinCR1M1N4L responds:
who cares about the heads is what we think
a LOT of work went into making them
but thank you for your nice review
