Reviews for -FREE WHISTLE POINTS-

u raise a valed point

i do agree that there are way too many fucktards posting stupid ass reviews and that all reviews should be constructive, but i dont think that you need to have made a flash before to be able to give a good constructive review.
now for your flash it wasent actuualy too bad really. the animation at the start was cool and all the sound was clear nd not crackly. i do admit i dislike the clocks and it was really telling everyone what they should have already knowen i think that if u were to pick a topic that was interesting you could make a kickass flash

Oh the irony.

Let me start this off.

Now, onto the main point. I honestly believe what you're saying, and that flash alone is truth in 400x550 format, but having seen how high people's expectations are, my only suggestion is to fill newgrounds with sub-par flashes that will get a 2.0 as a final average to lower people's expectations. But, at least a few people will think movies like Saw were made by an average joe and that anyone could do better.

In another way, I see your point, a lot of people post some bad or dumb reviews on some movies without being critic. This could be a serious problem if is not taken seriously.

you raise some interesting points but your wrong..

1. you don't have to of made something in flash to know what a good flash is...all you have to of done is watched a few flash's and you can pick up on what is good and what isn't. same thing goes for knowing what is wrong with a flash eg: if the sound in a flash is so crackly you can't understand the charecters at all

however...to fully understand and respect how much work goes into a flash you definatly have to of made a one.

2. if somebody says in a review "this was not very good try harder" isn't that just a different way of saying "i didn't like this movie at all...work on the story, sound, animation, graphics ect or make something else"
people can't be telling artists how to do everything in flash...reviews aren't for learning flash...that's what tuturials are for...newgrounds even has a link to the good tuturials on the portal front page.

3. i am aware i am not saying anything about the flash (breaking reviewing rule #2) but hopfully this will help you understand some things about reviews...

So what you're saying is...

Those who do not know flash, should not comment on it? What then qualifies ppl to comment on anything? How can they know good music from bad, if they are not a composer? I agree that usless reviews which seem derived from more spiteful emotion than actual evaluation are seemly flooding the boards. I try to keep the casualities of my review readers low, myself.

As for portal etiquette, a large percentage of reviewers and animators alike breach the rules on a daily basis. I'm not saying it's right, as I have probably missed a good number of opportunities for whistle points, because I follow the rule saying, I cannot tell inside a review when I am blowing the whistle. But I pick my battles, as do we all.

For this however, it is nice to see some basic, though pleasant animation. Your style is classic clock fashion which I can't dock nor award originality. The sound was quite clear, as some speakonia voices can be hard to understand. I got a chuckle that your character bothered to read the exact words from the rules. In closing, it's a nice flash, very straight forward, communicates your message to the audience effectively.

Do I think it deserves to be on Newgrounds... well my personal opinion is no, since all it does it convey what most already know. Sad thing is, the people who should be watching it, won't bother and if do, won't give a damn. By the way, whether the viewer's opinion agrees with the perspective of the animator or not should remain just that, an opinion. Voting should represent the quality of the flash and not the love of the animator's fan base, not saying that you're one of those type, but it's a personal gripe.

In conclusion of what seems to have become a short essay, good flash. Not because I like it, but because it was well done. By the way, I tend to score my review points based on content, exempting the overall. Sorry, if you don't like long reviews, I ramble.
