Sheizenhammer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[flash fight sakura wooooo]

Another generic sprite movie.

It's not bad for a sprite short, but that's all it is: a sprite short.

While I dislike sprite movies in general, I've seen much worse ones than this, so it's worth a half-decent score at least.

The last part was indeed slightly out, but that's not the main problem I have with it. The main thing with sprite movies in general, no matter how good they are, is that the only thing they show is the author's ability to cut stuff out, import it into flash, and move said pre-made pictures around the screen. They give no indication as to how well YOU can draw/render your own stuff.

There's nothing wrong with this movie per se, but I'd have to encourage you to start working with your own artwork (since you have two previous sprite movies already). Persistently relying on sprites to do the drawing for you just looks lazy after a while, even if they're animated well.

I think you've got enough practise at just animating things (as this movie is pretty good for animation timings, minor end-glitch or not), and it's probably time to start making submissions you can completely call your own. It may be tedious to do at first, but all it takes is practise.

Good luck!

I will laugh SO HARD if someone flags this movie!

It's an interesting change.... and it worked. It worked very, very well.

This is kind of annoying, since there's nothing left to say in the review.

...Oh wait, yes there is: Filesize. People with slow inetrnet connections will be annoyed by the loading time (especially since everyone's so impatient around here).
However, It was a relatively long video, and I understand the decision not to cheapen it by over-compressing stuff.

So, good job. I would expect nothing less from the creators of my favourite website :)

(5/5, if you haven't guessed already).

Utterly random. And that's GOOD!!!

Amazing.
The animation was as well done, it synched perfectly (even after about 20 plays), the music quality is brilliant for the file size, and you even managed to get the word "Cthulu" into the lyrics (which were both funny and good to listen to).
Keep making these, they're AWESOME!!!
5/5, 10/10

[Ra-kun leva's polka]

Odd...

...But in a good way.
It could do with a translation of the spanish(?) text in it, though. Otherwise, I've nothing to complain about.

[If You Were Gay, Roy]

and i thought the youtube ones were funny!

this is brilliant!
until now, my favourite one of these was one using final fantasy characters. somehow, a truly purpose-built animation is even better! it's a shame there aren't more funny songs like this to do animations for! 10/10 5/5
