Bit-Master's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Megaman PF part 1]

Another masterpiece!

This is awesome! The drawing style is pretty good, too. Also, for the buttons linking to the different places, change the window part of the code to blank. This will fix the issue with the links coming in the flash window. If it helps, thank all of the tutorials I read through. The tutorials (specifically Ultimate Tutorial 2) taught me that movie clips on all of the sounds can fix the issue with it going out of sync. Good job, and good luck on your future stuff!

Kaosboy85 responds:

Thanks Bit Master! wow I didn't even realized I made them link in itself! Thanks for pointign that out... if I'm not lazy maybe I'll fix that:-p Thanks again for the review!

[Bunnykill 3 Vol.1]

Gaping... wow. That's some awesome stuff, man.

The graphics are TV worthy, and the style is so unique and is staying so strong. The sound was good as always, and there's even a whole menu in this one. Finally, the camera constantly changing angles all the time makes it so much cooler. Good luck on volume 2!

[FBF Madness SE]

This would be worthless had it not been so smooth.

That was... crazy. Not much replay value to it, and it kind of droned on at the end, but I give you credit where its due. There is a lot of evidence of hard work in this, but now to move on to something bigger. An actual movie (flashwise) with full plot lines and characterization etc. You have all the skills and experience needed, now go put it to work! Btw, good job on this movie, and 4098 frames for non-stop frame-by-frame is a lot, so this was definitely time consuming.

Rubbertje responds:

Yup.. It WAS time consuming. But this is my last FBF Madness edition and now I'll focus on movies with plots.. so..

Thanks for the review!

[Stop Crying - Part 1]

Wow. There is a lot of emotion in this.

As a tribute towards your brother, this was amazing. As a flash, the only thing that you could improve is the number of repeats of certain actions. They're alright once in a while, but this was overdoing it a bit. The writing is pure gold. I've seen many professionals who aren't as good as that. Keep it up for part 2.

XSstudio responds:

Thanks for bringing out this point. Please read my updated author's comment. I'm surprised that you'd like the writing... thanks, but I surely have lots of problems using English --- not my first language!

[Sonic Epoch ep. 1]

It was disappointing that it ended when it did.

This was pretty funny, especially with Amy in the beginning. The animation was smooth, though the drawings weren't as good. Knuckles was great in the end!

[Nim's Winter tale]

The backgrounds were amazing.

Probably one of my favorite parts of this. The animation could not be any smoother, and it shows that you have skill with gradients. The writing was miminal, but it was there, and satisfyingly got a point across as well. I didn't really like the character design of Nim. He was animated well and all, I just didn't like how he looked. I am amazed, though, that I haven't watched this until now. Overall, it's evident that you have reached your goal: relying heavily on mood and atmosphere to bring the story more to life.
This also brought to mind about how really well animated movies like this end up. A lot of people might say that these movies have no storyline. Storylines don't have to have dialogue in them. Simple body language sometimes tell the story better than any talking at all. This, There She Is!!!, and the Brackenwood series all face this problem. Loaded with good graphics to get strong body language into the story when some are too dense or stubborn to motice how important it actually is. Then those people have to go ranting on about how there's absolutely no storyline and that it's just crappy eye candy.
I'm done ranting myself, now. Good job on making this flash, I hope to see more of your work!

[Sonic: Uncut]

This is a great series.

I loved the humor in it. Some of the lines are great, and that's because there ISN'T any emotion to it, like, "Tails, why is the house full of chaos?" I've loved this series since this episode. The drawings are sometimes distorted or shakey, but I like how you made up for that with shading/highlights. I can't wait to see the fourth!

P.S.
"Open Your Heart" rocks!

[Halo For Retards]

Humor gets a ten because of the plasma grenade pt!

Really funny movie. The only thing that I thought took away from it was the droning on the dropping the warthog sketch. It was still funny, but my sense of humor involves fast paced chaotic irony/randomness, which explains why I laughed so hard on the plasma grenade skit. Overall, it was mostly enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

[Tribute to Sonic]

You can draw, that's half the battle.

Now you need to learn to actually animate it. If you don't like to do much frame by frame, but you don't mind a lot of drawing, observe how Andrew animates. Yes he has done some frame by frame, but it's also a lot of tweening effects with constantly renewing drawings. You obviously don't mind the whole drawing a lot bit, but you probably do mind the animating it a little. I'm just opening an easy way for good artists to animate. Another way is like NALO's style. He draws really well for the symbols, but to animate it, he tweens separated limbs. After a while, there will be enough symbols to animate without having to draw new ones.
Also, when drawing, use the pencil tool and use different thicknesses, that way it will still look the way you originally wanted, just without the access lines which you can remove with ease. For me, I sketch out the drawing with my Graphire 3, then I make a new layer and draw with the line tool over it, keeping it in proportion, but really nice. It's taking me so long that I STILL don't have any flash done. Also, that could also be because of all of the unfinished movies I started. Anyway, I hope to see more of your work with these improvements.

Troll-Master-Grog responds:

I can accually animate (but can never spell "accually"). I wanted this to look more like the Sonic comic books and/or the old video games using sprites. I already do pretty much everything you said as you will soon see in my next movie: Squishy and George

[Sonic Xtreme Trailer]

One of the best trailers there are.

Vector came out just like he did in Sonic Heroes, and Espio came out better! I'm also comparing this to your real one, and it makes this look horrible. The blurring of Sonic's legs isn't here, and the amount of movement is less, and the drawing isn't as good either, but this is still so rockin'! This style is also so unique. I've only seen this kind of style in those video games done by professionals, this definitely gives you bragging rights.
