Wastelander's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fred the Notable Monkey]

Not so notable at all

IMO a very selfish message.

Wikipedia is a free, open encyclopedia and has the aim of collecting scientific knowledge about the respective topics. There are still a whole lot of entries on Wikipedia, which are - no offense - obsolete.

Apart from that, I found your submission quite cute and well drawn. I don't think it was especially funny, entertaining or original though. At least not funny, entertaining or original enough to mention your work in an encyclopedia. Don't get me wrong, your work isn't bad. But I find your request of including aspiring artists into Wikipedia. That would be like giving 2nd or 3rd Division soccer players their own Wiki-entry.

JKR responds:

Frankly, I find that if a site is as large as Wikipedia is, they can find room for people who work every single day of their life at nothing more than making people happy through artwork. But perhaps they are "above" such things. I find no issue in giving 2nd or 3rd Division soccer players their own entry. The internet is certain big enough, and these people work just as hard as the 1st string, even if they don't get as much field time. But more than any of that, it is the WAY Wikipedia informs people that they are not permitted to be mentioned, with brash words like "non-notable - delete" or "fails". I do not agree with this method of dealing with people.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you liked the art style of the cartoon and animation, even if you didn't agree with it. =)

[Fantastic Realm Chapter 2]

VERY bad recording qualitiy!

I gave this movie a 3/5 because the recording quality was SO BAD, I couldn't understand even a half of the story. I can understand that it might have been necessary, but there are other ways to reduce file size than screwing up the voice overs...

Therefore it lost a lot of its sympathy with me, I think I had voted 5/5 and 10/10 if I had understood the voices properly.

Realmguys responds:

Actually, it has nothing to do with the recording quality. The noise you hear is flash's horrible sound compression. And no, there is nothing that can be done. To get this movie close to 5 megs, sound is what had to go. We had already stripped a bunch of artwork out. Both the artwork and sound suffered greatly, it was heartbreaking! Hopefully some time we can post streaming quicktime toons... then this can all be avoided. :)

Excellent work!

My only critic first: Animations could have been smoother, BUT!

1. Brilliant choice of music and pictures.

2. No Violence, no Swearing, no jokes, but VERY entertaining!

3. Nice technical work also, though the animations looked a bit strange at times!

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thank u for the review. The thing runned at 30 fps and if i drew each single frame it would have been smoother but then i probably would be working on it for another 3 months. Im glad u like it though!
