Insanimation's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What All Men Want]

Predictable.

Animation/Graphics: 0/10
Well, there were none. The font used was fairly generic and dull, and, as Corky said, a few transitions would have worked a treat. However, stay away from anything too fancy, as it tends to look tacky and unprofessional.

Concept/Storyline: 2/10
Possibly the only good bit. The joke was decent, but I could see something like that coming.

Audio: 0/10
Where you could have used this to boost this movie a lot, you completely ignored it. There was no music at all. It would have been nice to get a sexy ambience track, and a sensual voice, like the one in the M&S ads (in England).

Overall: 1/10
Didn't even have the bare bones of a good flash. Maybe the funny bone.

[The Awakening Begins]

Good!

Animation/Graphics: 6/10
The art wasn't very good, to be honest. There was little shading and rough, thick outlines. However, the guy with the eyepatch was drawn better, so it was obvious you learned as the flash progressed. However, there were still too many gradients. Just out of interest, how long did it take?

The animation was interesting. Although you stuck to tweens most of the time, they were effective and expressed movement well.

Storyline/Concept: 5/10
Well, the plot is pretty typical and dull, but it still worked. Considering you didn;t use dialogue, you carried it off very well.

Audio 8/10
The music worked really well, syncing nicely with the animation, and the few sound effects were good.

Overall: 7/10
A great start, but there's still a lot of work to do..I'll be looking forward to the next one. :)

[In Solitude]

Pretty nice.

Animation/Graphics: 9/10
Well, the animation is great, really smooth and I like the sketchiness of the lines, with all the slight movement. However, I thought that the drawing took far too long, and took away from the fluidity of the movie.

Storyline/Concept: 10/10
I loved the concept of loneliness, and all the stories were very diverse and great. I loved it.

Audio: 7/10
The main music was good enough, but it felt a bit too happy for the theme. The sound in the preloader was really off putting. I like to go off and do something else whilst the flash is loading, and I can't do tthat if I have something constantly blaring in my ear..

Overall: 9/10
Good, but lacking some minor things.

[Insanimation]

You called?

I'm giving it a ten, simply for the name :3

Animation: 7/10
For a stickman flash, it wasn't too bad..I liked some of the slow-motion effects, and the movement was fluid..However, the people had very short arms..

Concept/Storyline: 6/10
Well, it's a stickfigure fighting movie, I can't give you any originality points for it, but I liked the inclusion of humour too, and the faces were nice..

Audio: 8/10
I like the music, generally..It fitted well, and was good music anyway. I also liked how you brought in the music. Usually, I wouldn't say this, but this time, voice acting would have ruined it.

Overall: 10/10
Not a bad movie, but AWESOME NAME!!!

I would have given it a 7, but the name!! :3

OMG! LOL. THANKS A LOT FOR REVIEW!!!

[the n00b collab II]

There's a reason they're otherwise blammed..

Now, before I make this review, allow me to simply point out that I was involved in the first Noob Collab, and almost submitted something to this one..Anyway..

Animation/Graphics: 2/10
Well, it's a Noob Collab, what do you expect? There was one nice one, with a stick figure, and the one with lazer dinosaurs had kinda cool graphics, and the menu looked nice..Other than that, nothing :(

Concept/Storyline: 2/10
Sadly, the entries you have here would be blammed if they were submitted on their own. I know that that was the whole point, but it doesn't work...I watch a Flash movie to see nice art, good animation, decent storyline..Very little here.

However, a few entries had kinda funny storylines, so I'll give you another point..

Audio/Music: 0/10
Eugh. The music bore no relevance to the rest of the collab, and it overlapped if any entries had sound in them. Really sounded terrible.

Overall: 1/10
Fairly pathetic submission, to be honest. The fault goes mainly to the collab compiler, in my opinion. A disappointment to all those involved.

[Merry Cupcake]

Eeeeh...

Animation/Graphics: 2/10
Very little shading, fairly poorly drawn. Below average, I'd say. You used filters too much, as well. The cupcake was drawn OK, though..

Most of the animation were average FBF and tweening, which doesn't really impress. The best bits were the writing on the card, and the lip-sync for "Thank you".

Concept/Storyline: 5/10
I have seen a storyline very similar to this in other places..So it's not too original..it's not even a great storyline..So I dunno why people would want to reproduce it..There's no real punchline or any decent humour..at least, not in my opinion..

Audio: 6/10
The music worked well, adding the atmosphere, but I didn't like the voice actors, to be honest. The recording quality wasn't the best, and there wasn't much emotion in their voices, really.

Overall: 4/10
It has the bare bones of an animation, but nothing else. Needs a lot of work.

Thanks for the constructive criticism :)

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

Your best work so far!

Well, that was one of the few flashes I actually laughed out loud at, so that's a plus..

Animation/Graphics: 9/10
Well, it's Egoraptor's style, so there's not much you can do about it. It fit very well with the anime style of drawing, making it stylish and parodical at the same time. But since it's such an overused style, I'll knock off one mark. And because it's not perfect animation, even though that was intentional, and made it funnier.

Concept/Storyline: 10/10
Kudos to TomaMoto to the excellent idea and script. It really resembled the horrible things in anime shows, such as the weird long names, which were excellently portrayed by the voice actors, and in the script. Nothing to fault here.

Audio: 9/10
Awesome stuff. The music was pretty good, and the voice acting was excellent, with great overdone voices, as anime should be.

Overall: 10/10
Egoraptor has recently been criticized for overmilking the "Awesome" series, so this move away from them is great. Kudos to everyone involved.

[If Trees Could Speak]

Wow.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable flash.

The graphics were excellent, even if many of them were tracing over photos, which they may have been. Animation was quite rare, other than the sketchy feel that was added, but what animation there was, it was great. The music fitted really well, setting the scene perfectly.

However, I can offer you one criticism. The most powerful part of the flash is when your grandfather kills the puppies (I won't get into the morality of that). It would seem fitting if you put that at the end, as the bits following it feels like a bit of an anti-climax..

[No Name Stick 2 ( L.I.P)]

Could be much better

Animation/Graphics: 2/10
Sorry, but before the thing even started, I knew it would be fairly bad. The tween on the loader was fairly messed up, giving it straight away an unprofessional feel.

The drawing of the stickmen were fairly bad. Their heads were too big, and your arms should come out of your shoulders, not your ribs.

There wasn't enough animation for me. The most animation was the small battle, but that went by far too fast to take it all in.

For the most part, the colours were good, except when there was the close-up of the stickfigure, the text was very hard to read.

Storyline/Concept: 4/10
It was a good concept, but not very well laid out, with the massive block of text at the start, and then the snippets of text in the rest of it. If you had taken the time to hire voice actors, which isn't very hard, really, it would have far better.

Audio: 3/10
The song was alright, but it wasn't connected with the flash in any way. It was just a normal song. Also, sound effects would have been nice.

Overall: 3/10
You have the backbones of an animation, but need a lot of work.
