Reviews for "Mad Max: Kung Fury Road"

Hilarious concept throughout, Animation and Sound design were spotty at best but the Voice Acting was Spot-on!

Some suggestions I have to improve this for a reupload (something Newgrounds excels at over YouTube):

Some of the shots can be shortened a tad

Silhouetted figure walk cycle could do with more work. Try throwing a Sun in the background with a drop-shadow under max. (Max's walk cycle can be put into a symbol, duplicated then placed underneath and brightness dropped to 0, also with maybe a pinch of blur for greater effect) Look up pictures of people in deserts as a reference for color schemes.

When Kung Fury pops in, maybe try extending the background music up until the point when Max holds up Kung Fury at gunpoint, just fading the volume down a bit when the dialogue starts. Try it and see how it holds up.

SOUND IS KEY! Have some continuous background ambient sound (blowing wind, etc), perhaps add some subtle cloth rubbing sound effects when the characters move. Max's gun could use with some subtle weapon's foley fx (sound of the gun rattling).

Fury's last line is out of sync, however you could play this to your advantage, just cut it short and give the line some reverb to make it sound as if he's thinking aloud.

Again, just some helpful suggestions for improvement.

Ah, thanks! It`s funny, as soon as I started fooling around in flash I forgot some of the most basic rules of art and drawing--use references, save a few versions of your work (for gods sake do it) and... read some basic tutorials. Also somehow I ended up with my tablet stylus up my nose. Hot tip, don`t do that, it can claphg brlain dummuge.
I think you`d be terrified if i showed you the raw flash document, its a regular Frankensteins monster, heh. I learned so much over the course of animating this dumb little thing and I`m taking all your current tips (and hopefully future ones!) to heart. Thanks again, hopefully I`ll catch you again in the next toon!

SirUndead Sez:
Thanks a bunch dude, these are some great tips! All the animation stuff goes over my head, but the sound stuff I can respond to. I did try extending the theme that far out (because I liked the theme so much hahah) but I really wanted to capture that sort of maddened awkwardness which the movie had such an awesome amount of. Not saying I made the RIGHT choice, but that was my reason for making the WRONG choice. As for the background noise, it was in there but yeah it wasn't the whole piece, just certain moments. I had the walking in the sand noises for when they moved, but cloth rubbing together never even occured to me, so thanks a bunch for that tip, I'll have to consider that!

Dude, I so badly wanted to put in gun sound effects for every time it moved like you said, but I couldn't get the right sound, hopefully for next time I feature a gun I can get that right. And as for the last line being out of sync, this was actually entirely deliberate, you may be able to notice, all of Kung Fury's lines are out of sync while Max's are pretty in-sync. We wanted to capture how Kung Fury's lines were occasionally kinda out of sync in the actual movie, but clearly we need to work on making this clearer, or perhaps dropping a joke like that entirely if it risks just coming off as low quality.
Anyway thanks dude, you're the best and I really appreciate these tips from somebody like you! I'll DEFINITELY be thinking of this stuff next go around. Have a good one!

I've been playing Okamiden, so I read the title as "King Fury" at first.

Paxilon responds:

Paxilon Sez: I had to look up Okamiden on google butOH ITS A KID RIDING A PUPPY THATS THE CUTEST I NEED THIS GAME CAN I GET I-

SirUndead Sez: I bet in a movie or two he'll elevate to King, then Supreme Overlord or something, yeah. Maybe you're Nostradamus, dude.
