Irbis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[|~Snow Snow For Lucy~|]

topic

in my entire life.
i have been "touched" to the core of my existance just like 5 times. 5 times for 25years of living. i dont know if its big or small number, its quite irrelevant in this case.
the thing is, heh. damnit. the thing is - i am lacking words. to describe this. to describe "Lucy".
What can i say that havent been said already? for what can i praise you that you havent been prayed for? what words can i use to describe... something that cannot be described?
SpikeVallentine, i salute you.
10/10 5/5 just isnt enough.

SpikeVallentine responds:

Thank you for your appreciation and sharing your opinion.
Whatever God has blessed me with, all the Glory to Him.
I salute God.

Wow nice.....reaction. Not everyone would appreciate this project. Happy to hear yours.

[The Love I'm Searching 4]

dude... i am speechless

the variarity, the uniquness, the feeling, the music, the music matching video, the montage, the drawings, the motion and all these little sparkling things... this animation is truely magical. in terms of overall is very well combined too. and this is the proof of real art.
What i mean? every animation is a summery of many diffrent things, the music, the artwork, effects and all that. and having one of those elements perfected not always leads to a perfect outcome. especialy when the rest is lacking something. but in this case... everything is top notch. and i think that using real life photos is not being lazzy, i think it was perfectly intended.
and i dont see any corners-cutting. such thing happends when author, the artist lacks the skills or time to produce proper effect so he tries to hide it, cover with something else, to switch our attentions from looking at those cons. Skaijo do not atempt to hide anything. he's screaming "thats my style! this is how i do things!". and the style is unique. its like with Rembrant's work. i am not fan of his work but i can notice his mastery, his skills. its like having a choice to create something "for the masses" or creating something "out from you". like a poem. i dont know any good poetry that was made with having readers in mind. Poems you just... write. i dont think about the outcome. you just do it.
and this is like with this animation. people can like it or dislike it but the creator skilsl are showing in each and every place.
and last thing. you know what? it doesnt takes much of a skills to pull another "final penis" joke and get 4-5rating. yeah it will probaly make you laugh for a minute or so. but after that - you forget about everything. it doesnt affects you long-term. and this animation does affects you.
in my case, i will be watching it over and over - i can tell ill be comming back to rewatch it over and over, each time i feel sad, each time i feel depressed or especialy every time ill loss my faith. because, in terms of emotions, this animation (if you'll let it affect you) will make you gain faith. no, not religiouse faith. the "faith" in overall. and i am about to show this to all my friends and buddies because i want them to feel this "faith" too. and thats the final nail in this plank. any art, lacking the "sense", the meaning - is just plain. and when watching this, and after watching - i still have this unknown "feeling" inside me. a leftover from the animation that i will carry with me whenever i go. its enough strong to make me ignore all and any technical flaws(if there would be any that is ;) ).
that feeling.. is warm.

Best Regards
Irbis

Skaijo responds:

"it doesnt takes much of a skills to pull another "final penis" joke and get 4-5rating."

Ha, this one made me laught out loud. I really appreciate the sentiments. You're honestly too kind. I had a lot of fun making this though and I'm very honored that you enjoyed this work so much.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

OMG Adam!!!

i was dying to see anything new from you Adam! gosh i am soo happy to see Bitey again! you are by far one of the most talented artist out here and a living legend of flash animation. though you left us behind and abbandome NG ;__;
good luck with the full time movie - i would pay almost any price to see it in cinema at the widescreen :) and thank you for this animation. as always - its genuie. nothing more to say - just perfect. voice acting, sounds, animation, story - everything! this animation reminds me of a days when NG was full of talents like you and with each new day we would always have something incredible created, something unique and special. i am soooo feed up with NG animations lately. all those penis joke with a beard longer then anything...
good to have you back!! :D

your ethernal fan
Irbis

chluaid responds:

Thanks Irbis, it's good to be back :D

[Gunny Bears]

genui

in most cases when i see non-flash posted on NG i automaticly blam it. but in this case i will make an exception. yea it is that good. and i can imagine how huge the work was done to finish this. its just great and funny :) even if posted at wrong website. at youtube you would get instant fames with that

funymony responds:

I know what you mean. I wouldn't wanna see shitty videos or vlogs on here either.
But if its something like stop motion or live action/animation hybrids, I approve.

but Newgrounds is pretty much becoming a home to all mediums.

Art, Animation, Games, Stories, Music, and I guess some videos. (As long as they're not crappy.)

[The Lost Lake]

you got me there

i was about to rant about animation and pointless railroad train when the plot finaly got me and i understod whats going on and WHAT the train actualy means. and then i was like "woah". so screw the poor animation(the characters designe exactly) because you just earned yourself a 5/5 10/10 from me.

PapaLongLegs responds:

thank you very much, haha glad you carried on watching :S

[Professor Fucking Layton]

love it

as everybody before me already pointed - great animation. one thing bothers me - from where is the end music? i tried goggling something Layton related but it wasnt there and you havent writed credits for music used. whats the name of it or a link to it perhaps?

backwardcompatible responds:

I got all the music from MGS3- dunno the name of the actual song, sorry D:

[Cat Face ep.13]

ahhh

dude after so many "Cat Face's" you really should figure out that you need preloader. it looks silly from animator of your caliber to force me to watch the movie as soon as i hit play. on top of that - not everybody here have like 5mg internet connection so i would really prefere to just hit "load" or something and see how the movie is loading till its done so i can watch it whenever i want and without pauses because its still loading. like every damn flash here has some kind of preloader. the case is - your movie is not the only one that poeple are watching. i have this daily subscribtion so i am given 5 best animations of the day to view each and every morning. so i click all of them, hit play and wait till all of them are loaded so i can watch them one after another. so...
all in one - go get a preloader. i belive that NG even gives you one for free if you're interested.

as for the actual vid - was good. not briliant as few from the serie but it was good. and i am a big fan of Cat Face voice and way of speaking ^^

TheWeebl responds:

There is a preloader. There just isn't a play button.

[Haven't Got A Prayer, pt2]

well hearing problems here also

I am not a english native but my english speaking and hearing is rather good if i might say so. Still it was very hard to understand what they are talking, most of it was like "word -sound-sounds-sounds-sounds-word" in terms of understanding. so like 50% if not more was just me guesing whats going on. Either you had your lips to close to the microphone or the volume was just to high, both ways - to much "bass". Aside from that i quite liked this animation. but really if you could record a better, more "clear" for ears audio version it would do wonders.

Slackman responds:

Sorry you couldn't understand it. I don't think it was a language problem. It probably had something to do with my ineptitude with audio, or my microphone just isn't good enough. At this point, I don't know if I can do anything to improve the audio, but I'll give it a look.

["Strange Fruit"]

ahhh bummer =\

sorry dude, i set my brightness on max and all that but still couldnt see a shit =( yet the music is fine and all the coments makes me feel that i real are missing a nice movie here... thats why 7 score. just shame i cant actualy see it ;__;

J-qb responds:

I'm sorry to hear that, mind pm'ing me some specs (especially on your screen)?

[Destroy Your Hunger]

heey... =\

well, yea its okey, nice animation and all but...
isnt this just an advertisment...?

StickDinosaur responds:

You guessed right. It is and hopefully I can win some money with it.
