Good
But I didn't like the fact that the leaf cyborg was crying when it was defeated. I hate seing cute creatures suffering... Another critique was the graphics style. I tend to like comical styles that have black lines around polygons. Still, a big effort and creative storyline so i'll have to give you points for that.
Not a huge fans of outlines, as you can see. But I am most probably going to change the style before the next time I do this.. mainly because the way I did things just took too long.
Impressive
Here I point out what I think are the bads and goods of your movie...
[BAD: ]
1. Maybe the simplicity of the graphics. Guys have pointed this out. But if that's because you didn't have enough time to do nice backgrounds, I totally understand. And even though they were simple, they were nice too!
2. The text in before the whole movie. Maybe you could have inserted some animation or still images around them... just my suggestion so that I can not only read the text but view some images of the 4 robots... etc
(just my ideas)
3. Some robot designs are a little too simple. But I like the Fire cyborg!
[GOOD:]
1. A hell lot of people seem to like it!
2. I bet you got an awesome score for this assignment.
3. Music was good and I think it suits the movie.
4. The animations (intro, text, credits, battle and all) was damn impressive.
[My rating: 6 stars]
Rock on!
Thanks, I do agree with you on ever single bad aspect of this flash. Definately things I will be taking into consideration when I get around to doing this again! I actually had a lot more complex characters originally planned, but animating FBF with line tool is overly time consuming.. even if it does have very clean results with lines. So details like that would set me back quite a bit. Next time I will most probably use paint brush to get things done more effeciently. So yeah, I will totally redo the designs for the characters before the next one. =)
Been a while...
Been a while since you made a movie. All you did in flash lately was collabs, collabs and collabs. (All good though!). Finally, a rubber ninja cartoon which is not a collab and a fuckin sweet one at that.
Yeah, I was planning to kick myself if I didn't get something that wasn't a collaboration out by 2006. Shit I am getting slack, I hope to change that soon enough. Thanks!
Rubberninja Strikes Again
Nice stuff, Rubberninja. You definitely are one of the best flash artists on the internet. You should be thankful that you get to be in a multimedia course, I was gonna apply to one but they didn't teach flash for my age group so I stuck with a 2d Game Design Class (I like though). Keep on rocking, Ross.
I wouldn't go as far as saying best.. I am actually not in the multimedia course now. I HATED it. I was stuck teaching the freaking flash class half the time, because the teacher just disappeared. Got rather annoying.. I was there to learn not teach. But at least I met Kiel, who is now quite impressive at flash.. He made Steve The Tree. So yeah.. At the moment I am studying for my Animation Diploma at this place called FTI. Great fun. But my 2D lecturer hates Newgrounds, so I always argue with him as to why he's wrong about the site. If I ever win a NG shir t I am going to wear it for a month to piss him off. :D
good animation
Although it was good animation, and a nice stiryline, For maybe my watching to many action/adventure flicks, or just a love of irony, I know the ending. or...at least wheat most story writes would make. lol I would still LOVE to see it.
I had a problem trying to make sense out of the last part of the review.. Maybe I am just tired :[.. But regardless, thanks!
