Reviews for "Snow Wars"

Fun!

crazy and weird story. Some good gags in it. Thank God for the subs as I couldn't otherwise hear all the dialogue. I tried to watch it on U-Tube, but it kept jamming halfway through. At least here I see it though, but the Qual is not as good- it is hard to see sometimes.

The music is great!

Fro responds:

Thanks, check out some of my other stuff please

I was sort of wondering . . .

Why did you only use long shots? Were you afraid that your cameraman would get hit with a stray laser?

I notice your aerial footage had trees with leaves, but your shots from the ground did not have leaves. Why did you wait so long between renting your helicopter and shooting the rest of the movie?

Nevermind why Corey would hire a blind soldier, why does your blind man think that people feel like sticks? Do you guys only let him touch your wood?

Since the Empire lent you an AT-AT for the film, why didn't you get them to loan you some standard issue Storm Trooper lasers also? They're pretty cool, they can even shoot through snow!

Anyway, yeah. You've got mail, dammit. >:P

Fro responds:

I'll answer you in more detail in the PM when I get time, but for now some short answers.

Airplane not helicopter ;)

Nick had a blind soldier not Corey, please pay attention

I agree

Pointless creation is write on the money.

Fro responds:

People think this is a useless review.

Good Smoke

While the humor was bland, and the acting was below average, and the editing was near non existent (I heard the camera person actually laugh during a scene).

I'm not sure I understand the physics of the lasers. They appear and cause smoke when they hit things unless it's at the beginning where the guns simply make noise and nothing more?

the smoke effect was decent though, but it really seems like a showcase for mediocre special effects to be tossed into a film that has such a slow pace that even a turtle in a tar pit could keep up. That is, if there was any direction. Now it's no Ren and Stimpy of randomness, but a pee scene? Random useless poorly delivered and overused "I'm not dead yet" joke? Unexplained indistinguishable laser firing devices that fly away?

To help you out, because you obviously put SOME effort into this, write a script, stick to that script, practice the acting, don't fear taking more than one take, and when the whole thing is done, don't publish it, review it, check for errors with a critical eye, go back and fix those errors. THEN and ONLY then publish it.

Also, while it is my own personal opinion, this really doesn't belong on Newgrounds. There's not really any animated content. I've seen way more talented things get criticized for an overuse of simple tween animations and non animated video content.

You did do well with plagiarized sound effects and music though, it kind of helped to create a mood. Also fairly decent menu, and again, pretty decent smoke effect. Sadly, that's only 4 positives tossed in a giant heap of negatives.

Fro responds:

You are absolutely right in some aspects of your reviews, but completely ignorant in other parts.

I'll just comment right down through your review.

The camera man wasn't laughing. If you can use your eyes and your ears properly you would have seen the blind guy run into a tree in the background, fall over, etc.. and they laughed at him. You thought the laugh came from behind the camera? Odd.

Their were lasers at the beginning. Again, eyes are a good thing to use.

How is the I'm not dead joke overused if it was used once. That's just dumb.

The randomness is where you caught on though. There was a very good script made for this, but if you can read in the credits, again a good place where elementary skills and using your eyes comes in handy, then you would have noticed that we had half the time to create this because the one actor got his car stuck in the snow before hand. The droids replaced some snowmen that we were going to create (hence why he stole the guns and put them in the snowmen to shoot), but it didn't show up on film so we had to animate some droids in there. Good catch, but the scenes make more sense if that was common knowledge.

How can you say there isn't any animated content? You have proved with your review that you are at average human IQ. You know those lasers aren't there. You know those robots aren't there. You know that smoke wasn't there. You know that explosion wasn't there. ANIMATION. Good job, hopefully you learned something you should have already known.

Songs weren't plagiarized. They were created by a user here on newgrounds, but for some reason when I put the credits in it gives me an error. Also, if you can read (it's hard, you've proved it already) you can tell that the other songs were royalty free, so they aren't plagiarized.

I can tell you were giving effort on your review so I give it a 3/10!

well this star is for the hard work put into this but now seriously whoever sponsored really needs to get a life and try to find something better to to with his/her time btw this is not an animation so you would have more succes if you put it on youtube to be honest the sound wasent all that great and aside from that the lasers are totally unrealistic and got a little bored from watching like the first half of this....

Fro responds:

Nobody really sponsored this.

I agree with everything else. Thanks.
