CaptinChu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TLOZ: LA Orchestra]

Not good.

You put the sound a music together in a way that wasn't funny or original. The extras were pretty okay, but the meat of the movie was pretty much the music; I have a copy of the entire soundtrack as heard on the game, so I don't really need this.

I thought you might've made it a little more interesting with some camera techniques, (v-cam, etc.), and maybe hearing mount tamaranch would've been nice. I could see you worked pretty hard syncing the sprites with the sound, and LOZ: LA is a good game, so 2/5, 4/10 for you.

MrAmature responds:

So, what the other 14 people before you said were all lies?

[Walter Joyce]

This is very good.

Whether it was all a dream or not, and a subconscious scenario was presented based on a person he had seen on the bus before on another day, that idea is a bit odd to me. I'm not sure exactly whether what happened was a dream or not; could you please clarify that for me?

Auditory input is not the best way to control a person. Assuming that the situation did happen, was a more neurological, deeper thing going on? Was this done on purpose? If so, what purpose did it prove? Ironically, your choice of music is absolutely brilliant. I love it.

Your definition of perfect is a bit off to me. Rather than use the commonly accepted term of "perfect," you decided to use it as "average." I assume that you are talking about the experiment done on Walter Joyce, (again, making the assumption that this was not a dream.) and that "average" is "perfect" for their purposes. For that reason, you do not get "perfect" on your review. :P

Overall, to me, this movie is about the interaction of one person towards community, and how external forces have a huge impact to change that interaction. If you could, please, tell me what this project was made for; what this movie's purpose is for.

Thank you for making this most excellent movie.

Masquatto responds:

It's intentionally ambiguous. There is no definite answer given. ;]

The idea was that the auditory input was different from usual sounds in that it wasn't something consciously comprehensible, but somehow had an effect on the subconscious. If the subconscious can deduce and decide things that the conscious is unaware of, who's to say that there doesn't exist a possibility that such could be taken to the more primal levels of perception and emotion?
Glad ya liked the music.

Perfect means many things to many people. By describing the individual as "perfect," I give him enough relative connotations for the viewer to effectively build him on their own. I didn't have much time to describe Walter, and by using such a powerful word, I give the viewer an image of him they can think about and relate to without having to describe him in detail.
Indeed, the word also has meaning within the context of the movie in that Walter is the perfect candidate for the operation.
Aww.

The movie is meant to question perception and power on the most fundamental level. If your perception and subconscious reactions affect your decisions, to what extent could manipulation of your senses manipulate your choices? If you don't control your emotions, intelligence, or desires, what are you in control of? Just your tolerance of them? If someone could control those aspects in you, to what extent could they control you as a whole? How abstract is the idea? Is it really abstract at all?
In short, it's supposed to make you think. :P

Thanks. :]

[The Internet's For ?]

? Naruto?

Is it just me or is there no lip synching in this movie?

Makx responds:

no, because i never got round to it, work got in the way

[My Day]

Sir.

You are the ideal Newgrounds flash artist. If Newgrounds were to be described with a certain flash artist, it would be you.

There are too many flashes that are rated unbelievable scores because of their graphical intensity. Although this flash is not as graphically intense, it uses artistic perspective fantastically. I think that you deserve an A+. And frontpage.

Go get some jobs as a flash artist. Or, maybe I could work with you to make a game. (I know ActionScript.)

ActiveObjectX responds:

ya hear that newgrounds? I am IDEAL for you! I am what you are! I aint no dizney animator, but I can make myself some swell animations! But sadly newgrounds doesnt give me frontpage, and with each cartoon I put out, I get less and less attention. It seems the better I get with flash, the less people care. DAMN YOU NEWGROUNDS!!! AARRRRGGGGGHHHH

[Shape 01 - Fight]

Very "I Love Egg" styled.

Nice animation. A bit rough around the edges, but quite professionally done. Not as smooth as "I Love Egg," however I won't add that as an expectation. It is a very good movie, and I'd go as far to say it deserves front page.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks 4 reviewing! Did u really think it deserved the front page!? dude XD

[A Short Story About Love]

Absolutely stunning.

There are two things that are stunning about this animation.

1. The quality is so top-notch!
2. There's no sound that goes with it.

Had there been sound, the complex metaphors that were used with letters and numbers could be given the illusion of becoming more comprehensible.

Nice flash, but I just couldn't understand it much.

ArtBIT responds:

Heh, "Absolutely stunning" and the overall score 2? ;)
Btw there is sound, are you sure you had your speakers on?

[Run Joe! Run!]

hmmmm, not bad...

nice job. It's ok.

Greyfox999 responds:

Thank you

[Armadillo Potato Love]

My sincerist appologies for not reviewing sooner.

I was temporarily banned from Newgrounds. (New password problem.)

This puts you, officially, on my invisible cool list. Congrats! Great animation, fantastic song. You'll go places if you keep it up.

Slick responds:

He he, thanks :) Yay I'm on a cool list 8)

[Piconjo Jam #21]

This is unbelievable!

I love your depictions of other flash artists and their art; it's really something!

Can't wait till your next flash!

TehPiconjers responds:

why thank j00, look 4 it in a week, k?
