"Brill! Even better than "Battle of the 2 richards""

submission: Telling the Time

date: January 21, 2005

Hey Vishal!
In case you hadn't realised, this is Martin Sears!
Very good movie man... I like these sorts of things with deeper meanings and stuff!
What I really loved though was the style and animation. For most of it I was thinking "He's done a very good job making it look 3D", but when it came to the bit with the big crazy sun-clock thing rotating, I thought "ok, he's taking the piss now"
so did you actually use some kind of funky 3D add-on software, or did you just use normal 2D flash and put it down to your artistic abilities... if its the latter, I am very impressed and a teeny tiny bit jealous.
Anyway, it'd be good to hear how you made everything look so smooth and shiny... I could do with some tips in that department... my stuff is still very cartoony, although it has progressed since the days of "akeshes hair lotion"
anyway speak to you soon... i have my own flash animation to make... im putting all my stuff on a site too so I'll give you the address when its done! Laters mate!

Score: 10

"ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE "AKESH AND DUDS" ANIMATION"

submission: All About Joe

date: May 23, 2004

Hey man! In case you hadn't guessed this is Martin! Bloody nice animation there. You mustve done all that well quick cos you didnt use any of the version you sent me the other week. It was wicked though. My favourite parts were the little touches like the flashing O on the hotel sign, and the way the baby teeters over the edge of that hill before rolling down it.

I agree with what the other reviewers say... The graphics in this is quality, as is the style and the idea.

Good idea submitting it to newgrounds to get some feedback. Im glad you havent got any bad reviews yet... Theres usually one crazy american who writes "you are gay and you have no penis" (i actually received that exact review for one of mine. A bit un-necessary, i felt)

anyway, good job. make some more stuff and send me it, or even better, put it on here and make a name for yourself!

see ya later mate

ps: i still havent worked out how to get such good shading effects, and that funky bumpy-outline look. You know the one i mean. Any tips?

"wow"

submission: Demented Cartoon Movie!

date: September 26, 2003

i cant believe i acrually just watched all of that. very unique, and addictive. made me laugh out loud in some places, such as at the auto-romeo maker. its great stuff, and quite inspiring really.

Score: 7

"quite beautiful"

submission: Life in Motion

date: August 14, 2003

great stuff!

that last reviewer was just being a bit gay.

its great to see this sort of thing on here. i have great respect for frame-by-frame work like this. looked very proffessional.

who needs storylines???

"lego-tastic"

submission: The L.egomatrix

date: August 1, 2003

that was great to look at.

ive made a few lego movies and a lego game myself (they are on newgrounds too), but none of them have been 3D like that.

i like the matrix spoof, and it didnt really need humour or interactivity. it was bloody good to be honest.

Score: 10

"superb"

submission: (2003)Hulky 2:Final

date: July 15, 2003

possibly the best one yet.

i particularly liked the car sequence... some top notch animation there

Score: 10

"shotgun-tastic"

submission: (2003)Henrys Shotgun

date: July 15, 2003

these seem to get funnier each time, which is weird, cos im not watching them in the same order you made them!

violent yet strangely amusing. its always fun to see a piece of plastecine get shot whilst climbing up a chest of drawers.
