Bubbowrap's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nerds can never love]

DOC OCK

I'd laugh if that nickname stuck.

I love this, but the title totally gives it away!

Great use of flat space to show depth in the beginning, one of my favorite parts. And I love when he takes out the Ocarina and starts playing it. Voice actors were also spot on.

Best Valentines' movie so far.

Ockeroid responds:

Thanks, Wrap master! :D

Yeah, I got to the final hour about to upload and then "Shit, what the heck to I call this thing". Agreed, I owe a lot to Mick and Kimlinh for being awesome in this!

[24HRC3 : The Portal]

This was awesome!

I didn't know how it would come together seeing all of the parts, but having that common thread actually brought it together really well! I watched it like ten times.

And 24HRC is an awesome name.

[Red Ronin : 24 HRC]

Pretty awesome :D

I'm late in typing up a review for this, but I've said it was awesome like a million times elsewhere so.

All of the parts were great, and the music was top class. Ockeroid's the man :D

I can't wait to see what the next collab will be, if there's going to be another one.

[The Love I'm Searching 4]

Pretty awesome!

Argh, it's so hard to figure out what I want to rate this.

The first time I watched it, I thought it was super impressive; I just didn't get the point. I then read your comments, and after watching it a second time, it made sense. I then watched it a third and fourth time to see what I missed :P So, no, the message wasn't clear on the first run through.

I don't usually watch things more than once or twice in a row, but you have a knack for keeping me interested; even with the Professor Layton series (Which my friends and I quote daily.)

Art and backgrounds were great! The animation fit the song well, and the cuts were perfectly timed. Also liked the fast forward effect you used in the classroom scene.

Okay, I've decided to 10 this.

Skaijo responds:

Being the third entry into a series, I really don't blame anyone for not getting this at on the first view. The real goal was to animate something I liked that wouldn't pit me in a corner. The Don't Trip animations were typically (up to now) really action packed, and I love having the freedom to try something different--so I took an action animation and mellowed it out a bit. Had some fun with characters, tried to improve my backgrounds and polish, and generally just had a really enjoyable time.

Same goes for the Layton animations. Luke and Layton yelling at each other makes for an easily well-accepted entry in the series, but I'd like to try other kinds of comedy and animations-styles even in that series to keep it fresh and fun to work on. All the future decisions I make may not be popular, but I'll always have fun making what I work on, and when you stop by and throw in some nice words of encouragement my way, it makes the experience all the more sweeter. :3

[Prelude to the One]

You know...

Contrary to popular belief, a lot of stick movies actually have pretty good animation. I've consistently seen good timing, weight, and rhythm in a lot of these lately. At least the ones I've seen. I think it's pretty lame to zero bomb just because they're sticks.

Also, great job linking the action to the music! It really helps to draw the viewer in.

[If I Only Had A Brain!]

I almost blammed this.

But the ending made me lol. I'm such a simple person.

[Everything by Everyone]

Very nice!

I liked it, though a few timess the graphics made me cringe at how different they were from the original. This isn't necessarily your fault, though. I mean, learning to draw those styles is tough.

Still, 10/10.

[Well Enough Alone: Part 2]

Effing awesome!

I completely envy your animating abilities. You're the special effects/interface/battle MASTER. I also love all the features, like subtitle, quality, and pause options. I've only experimented with the quality control before, but now I'm going to look into adding subtitle, menu, and scene select options too!

Character animation could use some work, though. :c

I look forward to Part 3!

Kuoke responds:

Hahah, it's funny cause I envy your character animation skills. If the fusion dance worked, we'd become epic.

[//Necropolis Prelude]

Aha!

This intro was totally needed. I've seen all (Most? I need to check your submissions again) of your movies, and have always loved the animation and style of them. The only problem was that I couldn't quite understand it. Until now, anyway.

That's like the pot calling the kettle black, right? xD Seriously, though, the other movies make a whole lot more sense after seeing this.

But, I agree with the others in that this is what Newgrounds needs more of; flashes that have a story and that take more than a few hours of work or thought.

Awesome job all around!

/complains about the length just to be annoying.

JazLyte responds:

I said don't mention the length!!! Yoooo bastuuhd!!!

[Shoo Fly]

There are two types of people on Newgrounds.

Those who understand animation and those who don't. Simple as that.

I happen to be one of the ones who do, and it's extremely obvious how much effort and work was put into this flash. Most don't understand how much harder the human body is to animate than a disproportionate cartoon character. Anime is one of the closest styles to realism there is; I think only the old Scooby Doo, Batman, Superman, etc. cartoons are closer.

BUT I DIGRESS.

Awesome work, composition, audio synching, and animation. Wish it'd been longer (of course!), but given the ridiculous amounts of time it takes to do all of this yourself, I'm impressed.

10/10.
