FrostDrive's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragon Ball Multiverse 1]

Instead of half assing and always saying " this is nothing awesome or epic! so dont expect much.."
Why don't you spend an appropriate amount of time and effort on something so you don't have to say that.

Anyways, about the animation. There was no life to it. Still shots with gaping mouths dropping up and down. Plus no voices?

Use more body language, frame by frame animation, and audio.

bocodamondo responds:

half assing? O I C:
thats because as i start making this...i was never expecting it to take me that much time...and effort!
i thought i just made something small for fun...well at the end it turned out that big. thats exactly why thers no voice....and why should i make better mounth animation if thers not even voice????

say whatever you want about life buddy. but thats exactly how DBZ is., even in real anime its like that...so why should i make a DBZ flash different then DBZ itself?

[Chain Mail]

Definitely funny. The voice acting was pretty good for getting raped. Haha

I see there's critcism for "basic" characters. If I'm right, this is just a random cartoon. Splendid character designs aren't neccessary and would've been a waste of your time.

Anyways, there could've been more body language, and the backgrounds could've used perspective and more detail. But other than that, it's entertaining. C:

[Kony 2012]

This made me laugh a bit, despite the general bad quality of the drawings.

What you could do to improve is.

Use less thick of borders. Also don't use pure black if you want. That looks better.
Use the line tool, or hold SHIFT with the brush to draw straight lines. That way boxes and tables can look a lot better.

Also, if you learn perspective that'll help out a lot. With it you could've made that shot of him on the computer desk pretty interesting, instead of flat, how it was.

Zachary responds:

Thanks! I'll take them into consideration.

[True Friendship]

Next time.
Spend more time on your backgrounds.
Don't draw out the cartoon so long.
OH.
And don't do anything MLP related.
kthnx.

Piggybank12 responds:

Spend more time on backgrounds and don't do anything MLP related... Got it! I will keep that in mind for the future!

No seriously, I will; I wanna make something different next time, and it will hopefully NOT be something involving MLP. Gotta mix things up a bit, after all. And I will continue to practice drawing more complicated backgrounds for future projects as well, as I do agree these backgrounds were pretty bare on occasion. Thank you for the review!

[Monsters of Bluegrass]

Movieclips are really awesome. Especially when they're only two frames.

[Redbull: Magical Urine]

Allright, so my Kreid buddy requested me to review this, and I'll try to make this a detailed meaningful review so I'm gonna sound like a total dick. here we go.

First off, I noticed how bad your colors were. Gradients? YUCK. Gradients pretty much scream "OH LOOK AT ME IM A LAZY ASS WHO DOESN"T WANNA SHADE"

Colors take up about ALL of the screen, besides the outlines of the characters, so I think color choices is one of the most important parts of cartoons. SO, study color theory some, and stick with color schemes, when you make a cartoon, create a pallette of colors all next to eachother to see if they look good, and only use those colors and for jeebus christmas DON"T use gradients. Only exception to that is the sky since in real life it really IS a gradient.

Secondly, your use of sound effects was mediocre, not terrible, but could've been better.
Just overall though it's wayyy too long and drawn out.
Since it's a commercial you do realize commercials pay according to the amount of seconds their commercial is right? Why do you think they're always so short? U:
Commercials....the shorter the better. I could honestly imagine this all being done in less than 10 seconds, and it would've been better that way.

Lastly, I noticed when the bunny hopped you only moved that still picture of it. All I can say is do frame by frame whenever possible and DONT HALF-ASS ANYTHING. If you can do something better do it better.

[You're Firing Me!?]

I realized your style isn't the best for static drawings, but for animations it really works well.

Overall it was really great, and I really think it deserved an award, it's a shame it didn't. :/
The punchline at the end was a laugh riot, the ONLY improving suggestion I'd have is that when that death metal? sorta music started playing I thought it was something else, like an ad on another tab. It didn't seem to fit into the animation, it was abit too loud too and it was a little hard to hear what they were saying. BUT, once the boss said "youre not fired!" I immediately understood why you had put that music in, too create the tension the other character was creating. So it DID fit, but only until the end. haha.

Anyways, great cartoon! Can't wait to see more from you! :D

Twisted4000 responds:

Thanks a ton! :D

[The Safety Gnome]

I PUKED WHEN I WATCHED THIS. And after every second I puked more and more. this is garbage, shameful garbage and you should be ashamed of yourself for making something so horrid. Do people actually enjoy this? It's so childish and immature. You need to work on everything from your humor to your lip syncing. The only good thing about this was when it was over and done with, and I could continue to live my life, with what little soul I had left.

ALL IN ALL THOUGH, it's really great and keep on making cartoons mate'! :D

Kreid responds:

HEY GO TO HELL BUDDY! GO RAM AN ONION UP YOUR BUTT!
AND KOS? I'M THE ONLY GUY BAD ENOUGH TO HAVE A PUN ON CHAOS AS A BRAND AND DONT'CHOO FORGET IT!
Now, take my babies and get out of here, I never want to speak to you again!

[Sernauphia - episode 1]

Ummm

How come you can draw entire city scapes really well but the people are absolutely horrific?

Learn how to draw people right before you make another cartoon please. and PLEASE, do not say "Oh it's my style" Because it's not. It's just wrong.

[Hetalia - Spies like us]

I liked it but...

How could I really give this a 10?
You didn't write it at all. You stole some audio from something so old it's half filled with static. So all that you really did at all was the animation which was mediocre at best.

You did that stupid chin thing where you severely misplaced it on your characters. It's like they were all sucking the bottom jaws back and moving it as far to the side as they could. It looks terrible and it bugs the hell out of me.

Overall it was okay, but next time write your own script.
