LenardNotLenny's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Teen Ronin]

Not bad

The storyboarding in this animation is great, and you don't necessarily need more frames. What I'm assuming is that you hand drew every frame for the people, either that or you used poor sprites. Try tracing the bitmap so its easier to delete the white around the edges. Also, it'd looks really cool if the backgrounds were hand drawn as well. Just add some sound and you've really got something.

Dawnslayer responds:

Thank you for the response, sir, and sorry I got to it so late. As I said in the description, this was made a while ago; I was just getting into Flash, and didn't know about "Trace Bitmap." (You are correct that I hand-drew the people.) I've improved since then, but haven't been able to finish anything--or really, even start--due to lack of incentive and life getting in the way. But I am working on a storyboard for a new project, and I will definitely be adding sound this time.

Thanks for the pointer about the background. I'll bear that in mind.

[Shapes Ep.1]

lmao

Not much of an animation, but wow... I laughed for a long time.

[All Your Life]

Nice

this is really cool. i love the music.

qstorm responds:

Thanks man...and thanks for the fav, too.

The music is Sufjan Stevens. He's kinda a God, it would be worthwhile to check out if you haven't already heard him. No matter what genre(s) of music you're into

:)

[The Shape N' Shape Collab]

Well its out...

And pretty late too, but I'm kinda surprised at how apparently hard it is to draw simple shapes in flash.

ChandlerThompson responds:

Haha, yeah we missed the shape train, but it was fun to make. Thanks for being part of it.

[Collab of Champions]

Looks Familiar

I remember seeing this last week.

You didn't get an award because it it doesn't deserve one. You complain about Hentai and Awesome getting awards and not you, and yet, 90% of your entries were sticks. Also, stop playing on the fact its 10 FUCKING MINUTES LONG! because that doesn't matter. Entries almost always get the score they deserve, and if you can't deal with that, you'd better find another site.

Why are you so hard pressed to get a good score on this anyway, you didn't do any work.

[How to Edit the NG Loader]

Obvious

Anyone who actually would use the preloader would have figured that out already. It would've helped if you had made buttons as well, the animation was choppy and too fast.

mariobros153 responds:

well listen, there are some people who just can't figure it out, it took me a while to figure it out.... and these people that commented before you thought it was helpful

[ANOA randomness]

Random

Without being funny. There's hardly any animation as well.

mariobros153 responds:

well, I just started on flash, I'll get better at it over time, I mean.... you have to practice at flash, you just can't suddenly be good at animating....

[Boogley Bus Stop]

Excuse me?

Why does this not have a higher score? The frame by frame looks spectacular. Another charming animation Mr. Boogley.

TheBoogley responds:

LENARD!! how's things? :D

[Guns of the Awesome]

Wow

That was probably one of the least creative flashes I've seen in a while. I've already started to get sick of so many rampant tributes to Egoraptor, but this one was just sub-par. I really have no problem with a tribute, it's just, it wasn't funny, and the little humor there was stemmed from Metal Gear Awesome. There were many parts that attempted to be humorous, using MGA jokes, that in this context, weren't.

The fact that you not only didn't use your own ideas, and that they weren't that funny, is the real downfall of this flash.
