axl-ryder's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nejiten Sexyback]

pretty damn good

screw the score, this is some decent animation. A ten for you sir (or miss), if only to help balance things out.

Toboe-LoneWolf responds:

Thank you! I tried to do my best with even my basic skills.

[Franken B]

oh good, you reuploaded it

I really hope it works for everybody this time, it's a great flash!

Sinapi responds:

fingers crossed! >_<!!!!
thank u so much ^^

[Light and Wily..]

As a huge megaman fan I've got to say

pretty damn funny.

AMTRAX91 responds:

Thanks for the review Mr Mega Man Fan ^_^

[-Last Resort-]

damnit!

what do the credits say, something about the horse?

SpamClamberton responds:

It's a list of everything that you have ever masturbated to.

[TNYG Anime Teaser]

Holy shit

I'm so sorry but this is fucking hilarious. I know it's not meant to be, but I'm laughing my ass of right now. Just think for a second what you've done, in about 30 seconds you've fulfilled almost every cliché in anime. We have the crying, the wing, the disproportionately large sword, the burning city, the melancholic emo tone, the overly dramatic music, the red eyes, fucking everything. I know you just started, but try going for something a little less....standard (or at least try and make it look good)?

pancakery responds:

OMG, I didn't even realize o_o;; I know angels are super cliche, and crying, but I wanted to try the emo tear to see how well I could animate it :D Didn't think of the sword thing, and... are melancholy tunes and burning cities cliche? I mean, if it's the "i was away and came home to find my home on fire" cliche, then I could see that, but this is more of a... battle. But I see what you mean, I guess.

I did try to make it look good! I only just found out how to do onion skinning in flash ^^;; My animation skills need work >>;

[Pickle My Chadstar]

I've never actually said this before, but

what is this I don't even

HonorNecris responds:

Me neither.

[Nikk's 2009-10 Demo Reel]

oh wow

I can tell just from looking at this that you are far above the average animator. I would be happy to take a few pointers from you. What's the fps on this btw?

Nikkatzu responds:

:D Thanks! Also, im animating this at 24 FPS at mostly 2s-4s.

[Smooth-Criminal]

a little outdated

this would have been a lot funnier a few months ago, but it's still clever and well animated, so I give you props anyway.

InsaneScaryMovieGuy responds:

This Is My Flash That Me And My Friend Made
I just Forgot To Release It After Hearing About Michael Jackson Dying Made Me Not Release It But I Did Glade U Enjoy It!!!!

[Pelican!? - Space Walk]

I'm glad you made this

I'm glad you chose to make a flash about this. There isn't nearly enough awareness right now about the dangers of the rare man eating space pelican and it's good to know that someone is actually doing something about it. They say half of all astronaut deaths can be attributed to this avian monstrosity and it is possibly the number one obstacle in our quest for lunar colonization. (seriously though, very funny, nice job).

Neo-uk responds:

Exactly, we can't continue the human species until we deal with this problem. :P

[Da Jazz Method]

well what to say

I just want to say that your work shows an immense ammount of talent, but the quality of the animation shifts heavily from scene to scene. At some points it's extremely good and at others it's just average (of course when compared to the "average" newgrounder it was all phenominal). The frames were a bit awkward at several points, which really took away from the flow of it. At other times the anatomy was a little off, or undefined. Normally this wouldn't be a huge problem, but since your overall drawing skills are of a higher quality than most, any real drop in that quality seems more noticable. Your background skills are great, but it would have been nice to see more of them.

Another thing I noticed was that your faces felt a bit awkward during close up shots, although that wasn't as pronounced in that last fight scene. In fact everything about that last scene was great, so I'm guessing it was your most recent work. The lack of a plot did hurt the animation, since the rapid shift in the tone, pace and quality made it hard to appreciate the work as a whole. Of course that's the nature of a demo real, but I'm just trying to speculate as to why you didn't get something closer to a 4.5. I honestly think the music choice was pretty bad, since it made the camera feel even more jerky and made me think my computer was broken for a minute. The biggest think I think you could improve would be your frame pacing and your faces. Also your muscle detail felt a little flat, but your anatomical outlining was great. I also think a lot of the animation could have been cut out, since some of it really only brought down the rest. Sorry to go on so long, just little observations. anyway, great job and good luck. 5/5 9/10

JazLyte responds:

Hahaha yeah, I know, there's alot of my old work sprinkled in there because I wasn't too productive last year, so some stuff isn't the real deal. As for the timing and frames, I suspect it has something to do with the way I converted the cartoons to video. MagicSwf2Avi is what I used to use, it flawlessly turns flash to crispy video, but this time I just recorded the screen with Camtasia, resulting in some shitty playback. But you are quite observant, thanks for the good review, I will keep the advice in mind =)
