Karo-Korp's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["The Worst"]

Hey alright, this was pretty good!

I thought the animation was very smooth, and expressions of the crowd brilliant.

The music was alright, I felt that it didn't completely compliment the animation, but was still somewhat fitting. Reading the Author's comments I see that it was softened up, what was it like before?

Though fun to watch, I didn't really feel all that entertained. CONTRADICTORY MUCH?

Look forward to more of your work.

Sherbalex responds:

i just changed the volume.

[RollerCoasterEP1]

Right it was okay.

I feel that there is a lot wrong with it though.

Firstly, on the loading screen, with Kai grinning and a light shining over his eyes... You notice the white dot flicker above his right eye when this happens yeah?

Now that might seem like a tiny detail but these little things persist throughout the whole flash. It's like you just need to go round and polish certain bits of animation.

I can understand your desire to submit this after working on it for a year, and well done for the hard work you've put in, but you shouldn't ever settle. Don't be content with a piece of work that you know you could make better if you made that final push, rather than limping over the finish line.

The voice acting was good, in that it was believable (sort of), but the quality of recording let it down.

At one point, Kyle's voice simply stopped and we were left with subtitles to explain the story (about how they have to guard the territory for the 3 bosses, or something). I see you've kindly written that bit of dialogue down in the Author's comments, but why is there no voice acting for that part?

The animation was okay, I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into it, and as you use flash more, you'll discover and develop techniques that will allow you to do so much more with seemingly less effort.

This pieces gives off a "Work in progress" feel, and I can't really give you a fair score because your hardwork has been undone by untidy animation and imcomplete dialogue. The plot is fine, I mean, it's interesting and I look forward to seeing how the story unravels. I just want to enjoy it, and not feel like it's a chore to watch.

I really look forward to more from you, keep up the hard work.

sweetyluli responds:

Well said. And you're right it is still unploshed. I hope not to repeat that in EP 2.

[Kid Sickofthis]

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

That was amazing voice acting for Pit. He sounded like a totally Dude!

Sweet animation, really clean. It was indeed a short and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I'd give you more stars, but the star police have clear laws stating shorts can only get a maximum of 3 and half unless the author blows the reviewer...

So call me up on )&$!"£"!!!$ and we can sort out a meeting place.

Also, don't try to phone those symbols, I really did just hammer them in...

You're going to dial those symbols aren't you?

Wonchop responds:

That's a retarded law.

[The Hungah Gayums]

Loved it.

I really enjoyed the voice acting and thought the accent was super sexy.

The plot was funny and well narrated. I've not watched the film nor read the books so I really don't know if any of this is even remotely similar but I still enjoyed it.

I think the animation revolved around the audio and felt it worked well. Because the audio was the focal point, I don't think the quality of the animation mattered all that much, even if in places it was great then later sometimes basic.

I found this funny, but not like totally laugh your arse off stuff, perhaps because you couldn't stray too far from the story, which is perhaps why you used slightly off names and exaggerated animation to help emphasis the humour. I found that worked, but still wanted more funnies.

Great werk.

ZenithQuinn responds:

Appreciate it :) Thanks!

[Opium Cop]

Brilliant.

I think you pulled off the black and white style very well.

Voice acting from you is just the best on NG. Crystal clear to hear and always, always sexy.

The plot was all over the shop, in a good way. I guess that was down to your comic collaboration technique? It bounced around very nicely and it was extremely funny. How he just gets back into the car after the W/C scene was just brilliant. As if nothing happened.

So maybe the car crash thing was obviously going to happen when they detailed the plan, but the manner in which you pulled it off was perfect. Totaly destruction.

The best thing for me was, when, even though he had totally botched the job and asked for a light (again), his partner begrudgingly gave it to him. That little bit of interaction really allows us to see into a friendship (or partnership) and we're allowed to imagine how long they've known each other, or what else they've done ect ect. I think that was really smart and added a certain depth to the otherwise short flash.

Superb ending, how he just walks away. Totally puts the icing on the weird cake.

Another great flash, keep 'em coming!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[Teenage Mutant Turtles]

Haha!! Amazing!

The mix of your own voice acting and clips from the show worked really well.

The animation was very complicated at times which shows you've got mental potential. The plot was hilarious and each day was seemingly better than the last.

My only complaint was maybe it moved a little slowly? But that's it.

Fantastic flash, really enjoyable. Some of the body language the Turtles were showing was really flexible, which gave them a lifelike feel! Like when April was getting kidnapped and Leonado crossed his arms over hit gonads, that was brilliant.

Jae responds:

Haha!! thanks a lot for the detailed review! Hopefully my videos will just get better over time!

[Diablo 3: Error 37]

Haha!

That was brilliant. A really funny short. Animation was, again, sweet and smooth with voice acting being clear and the scream not being ear piercing.

Your humour is great, shame it wasn't longer is all!

I GIVE YOU THREE AND HALF STARS. That's a lot in some countries.

TerminalMontage responds:

I'LL TAKE IT!

[Quantum Freezer Theory]

I liked this. I felt that perhaps it moved a little slowly, but hey, whatever, it was still totally funny.

Animation wasn't half bad and the voice acting pretty decent. It only kinda had the one big gag in it but that's fine.

Three and a half stars is a lot, you can buy lots with that.

TravelSizedLions responds:

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'm aware that I've still got some pacing issues. It's one of the things I planned to improve on during the contest.

[Night of the Redead]

Why haven't I reviewed this yet? Or favourited it?

I remember watching it years ago and being awestruck by it.

The animation was decent, at times it was stiff, other times that seemed to work in the favour of the feeling of the flash.

The sound effects were great and re-deads are plenty scary enough with their hideous scream.

Overall, this flash is brilliant. I feel the plot was actually quite strong and that's why it's got so many STARS. YAY STARS!

With so many Zelda flashes out there, I felt that you really made it your own with your style and storytelling, rather than resort to a limp, skill-less parody.

Excellent work, keep it up! Looking forward to more of your work.

Eastbeast responds:

Thanks for your review, I'm glad it effected you. it has been awhile since I looked back at this too by the way haha. Currently we have another zelda project in the works that is similarly dark but different story. It is a bit away from being done, but I can assure you the animation has greatly been improved. Maybe if you'd like to beta test it for me, I can put you on the project manager? PM me if you are interested!

Esty

[Drew Drops the Bass]

Haha, funny shiiit!

Voice acting was great and jokes/puns were pretty funny.

Good job

CyanSandwich responds:

Thanks :)
