teejay-number13's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dawn of True Power Ep.1]

Don't post this kind of stuff on the portal. How is this a test of whether you're a good animator, when there is NO animation? It proves nothing other then you know how to place a few Movieclips on the screen and use pre-made loaders. And Krazzygamer3y2 is an idiot who creates subpar knockoffs of other people's work and then claims he's doing it to honor them. Don't follow in his footsteps.

You criticized him!I warn ya,if you try to criticize him again,I'll show who's boss!

[Pokemon Darkness Ep 1]

" I came up for the idea for this animation when i was browsing around newgrounds for videos on pokemon. I thought to myself why ain't there a proper video series that is like a pokemon game." - dumbird

I'm going to go hang myself now. But first, my review.

Even with crappy flash 8, you can do better with the animation. Also please make better custom sprites for Andrew. The story could be interesting once we actually see whats going on. And the last thing is the "walking on water shoes." Don't make up stupid things to explain why you were too lazy to animate a getaway boat or a helicopter. I am interested to find out what is going to happen though.

dumbird responds:

Thanks for the comment. In a few days i'll make changes like i'll give him a jetpack.
i'll check out your series as a sorry for my comment.

[Beginner's Flash Tutorial]

Nothing I didn't already know, but I definitely could have used this when I first started. The only thing I didn't get is why you said at the beginning "since we're doing the basics, let's just choose ActionScript 2.0". You're tutorial didn't cover any coding so why should they pick AS2? Actually, if a person is new to flash and they're not already familiar with AS2, they should start out learning AS3.

Wavechan responds:

There's coding in the preloader section! Mm.. but I think the reason why I decided to teach AS2 was because I tried to do a bit of a test run with my friends with AS3 and they had headaches. It could've just been me teaching it badly though, but they were able to understand AS2 much easier because they weren't at all programmers. @_@! Thank you for your review!

actually, now that I think about it, you mentioning this reminded me that I forgot to write a whole page about putting script for button links in the tutorial ;~~~; THANK YOU!!

[Rick Robo]

That's awesome! You've been Rocket Roll'D!

JDPoZ responds:

Actually... I have a confession to make.
I made a song called "Rocket Roll'D" a few years ago parodying Rick Roll but with first person shooters...

[Johnny Cage vs Bully]

Normally I would complain about people using live action clips on Newgrounds, but this was actually pretty damn funny.

pcx responds:

thank you sir you are too kind

[Gigi]

I'll review this like I don't know you. In other words be honest. I liked it. I got a nostalgic feeling from it. It reminded me of the part in Major'a Mask where you meet the scarecrow in the observatory. The gag where he says "Oh ouch. My everything!" Caught me off-guard so I laughed. The only problem I saw was some of the more complex animations looked a little South-Parky to me. Like when Gigi was coming in through the door.
It will be interesting to see if you make this into a game or an animated series.

Budj responds:

Stop being so spiteful! You turned on me!

Lol jk. I appreciate the honest opinions buddy! I see what you mean too, I might try a more traditional animation approach next time if my patience persists. :>

[The rise of chaos ep2]

I have to say I'm not disappointed, in that I was hoping this would suck and it does. There is SO much wrong with this. You title screen takes a minute to get going even after you click play. There's no scene select. Your 3d backgrounds are neat, but your 2d animations do not sync up with it. Your music runs together at several points. Some of your sprites or poorly recolored. You'd think with the fill tool, that would be easy. But it looks like you just drew over them with the paintbrush tool using a single color, borders and everything. I'd complain about your story, but I couldn't tell what was happening, because you don't have manual controls and the text boxes move to fast to read. Especially since you kept changing the font size and spacing to try and fit what they were saying into one text box instead of making several. So the text boxes range form a few words to whole paragraphs. And worst of all, it paused and wouldn't continue when Chun-Li mentioned Darien and Serena's impending doom.

So in short I'd say this is your worst episode is a while. Probably because you couldn't find anyone to help you make it since you have a habit of turning on your collaborators the first time they criticize you.

Punisher33 responds:

firstly. there should be no reason for the pause there. firstly stop being spiteful. firstly you turned on me. when you thought i was not lestining to you. you turned on me. second i busted my ass for months making sure everything was perfect. the tweening is perfect the animation in my opinion is flauless. i can't impress the pathetic mario and pokemon sonic same bull shit fanboys because that's all ya get horny off of. i did things the right way. i fallow all tutorials. people like you who turn on me. you turned on me dude. not the other way around. simple as that. i have dislexia. you proud of your self now you prick? honestly. i told you over and over again,. not to give my name due to privacy reasons and you gave it even though i told you not too. you turned on me. so go screw off dude. seriously. i did everything possible to make this the best thing i could and because it's not up too your stuff shows you how pathetic you really are. did you maybe think the only reason why you got the fans that you got is because your fallowing mainstream shit? i did every god damn thing and nothing makes you people happy. your spiteful. all of you. none of you get that wet dream from the status quo on this site which is an issue i constantly attack over and over again. and i won't go main stream i refuse too. your a douch bag. nothing i put together made you happy as a collaberator than you broke my number one rule after i told you. i told you not to use my name because of my privacy situation and you broke it. you turned on me. simple as that. i snapped at you because you had no common sense. i did everything possible here and the same attackers attack. go shoot down some crappy animator not me dude. i did everything possible. you don't like my stuff because of what ever reason it was. but when we was first collaberating all you kept telling me was improvements improvements improvements. and it was not a confidence booster either. you went from that. to being a spiteful douch bag.you can't be trusted. how you brake a rule that some one gave you. not to use that person's name. and you turn on them. you need to think about your shit dude stop with the spite. simple as that.
