Reviews for "the YuYu"

Continuation to Lidov's review

Now, after finishing with the long compliments about the super awesome Graphics in this movie, which are also probably the best graphics in any other movie in Ng, we have to pass to the next aspect, the style. This movie, if to say it in very short words, is extremely stylish, not only do you have super duper drawing and graphical abilities but do you have awesome directing abilities as well. With this awesome directing you can beat Steven Spilberg with his new crappy movies (Munich sucks!). So, all I can say about this movie is that the directing of the movie was very, but very good. If there is one thing that makes me enjoy a movie besides humour, it has to be the style of it, and in this case, you have made really good job. There are so many stylish scenes which made my head go boom, like the scene where he jumps at the beginning, the scene where he runs, the scene where he attacks. They made my head go boom not because they are bad scenes, but because they are awesome.
However, one thing I can say about the style of the movie , the attacking scene is too short, you need to make it longer in at least 20 seconds.

Now, about the sound, this is one of the only places where I have a real comment and not just a bunch of compliments. Firstly, let me compliment for the fabolous music you have got yourself for this movie, it is merely great. It matches the movie like soup to a bowl (huh?). However, since it is mostly a graphical movie and no-one says anything, I would expect to have the option to stop the sound, in spite of the fact that it matches the movie perfectly.

About the violence, as I have mentioned before, you need to make the attacking scene longer. But besides that, I liked it, it was the kind of violence which I call 'soft violence' not something too heavy with blood, but not a La-di-da movie with flowers and candy.

About the intercractivity, it has more buttons than most of the movies. I like the fact that you can choose which scene to go to with the little buttons below. However, you can't really know that these are scene directing buttons. You have some space below, what about putting a picture of the scene it directs you to when you go over it (use the hit)? Just a suggestion. Or maybe write somewhere that these directs you to other scenes. Also, what about making a stop\play button? Or a forward\backwards button? Just a suggestion, once again.

Now, the script is the weakest aspect in this movie, you write at the beginning that it is a story, but there really isn't much of a story in here. Now, lucky me that it didn't bother me watching the movie at all, because for a movie in this quality a script is meaningless. The plain story of the YuYu chasing Bitey while he gets away and evantually destroying them is good enough for me. Usually, I don't like movies with lack of script, but this obviously is an exeption.

Now for the closing of the review. This is a very perfect movie, you don't need to change a lot of things, the only things I have found that bothered me are the short fighting scene, the fact that the sound is unstoppable, the font of the text, and the lack of play\stop button. If I am talking with you about these silly things, you must understand the quality of your movie, I am adding you to my favorite artists. This movie just seems too good for Newgrounds, the good the this site is, the better yor movie is. Not only does it too awesome for Ng, but is it too good for the internet. A shame that it is not awesome enough for the cinema.
Now, since I want you to respond to me, I am writting this: PLASE RESPOND! It took me a few hours to write you this 2 reviews review1!!

whoa.. I don't think I've ever seen such an in-depth review. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out.. it means a lot :)

I never thought of adding a 'stop sounds' button, but I think in this case it's a good idea because like you said, there's no talking in the movie anyway, and maybe not everyone wants to hear the music.

The play/pause controls are always a good idea, but because the littleFoot controls (press spacebar to activate them) were so buggy, I kinda baulked at putting them into this movie.

The scene-selection buttons at the bottom of the screen are dark and unlabeled cos I didn't want them to be too obvious.. kinda like an easter egg thing, where only people who explore the movie find them. But perhaps a rollover state that shows a small thumbnail of the scene would be a good idea, like you said.

Everything in the movie was created to the timing of the music, including the fight scene, so I probably couldn't have fit anymore attacking into it.. perhaps if I had started the fight a bit earlier in the song. Then again, if you listen to the music, those big cymbal crashes are the ideal places to have the impact take place.

Anyway, thanks again for your review. I'm doing my best to read as many as I can and respond to at least one every couple of pages (while I have a little time on my hands, that is..), but a review like this is sure to grab attention :D

Thanks again

So very awesome.

Usually, I would just sum it up to "it was perfect, nothing else to add" or "its perfection cannot be discribed with words" or something of that nature, but since I have enjoyed so much from this movie, I will have to write something longer than that. The movie came a lot before I expected it to come, I thought that I would have to wait a long time, like between "prowlies at the river" and "littleFoot", but fortunately, I was wrong. I must say that this has to be the best movie among all of the bitey series (Btw, congrats for getting your own collection, you deserve it). Anyway, now I will throw some compliments, since the perfection of this movie stunned me. This is also why I gae you a 10, I don't usually give away so many 10's.

Lets start with the best aspect in your movie, and I think that also was made in the best way from all of the movies in Ng, which is some compliment. I am, of course, talking about the graphics of the movie, the merely perfect graphics shocked me, I didn't have an idea that these kinds of drawings can be drawn with this program called 'flash'. Every frame and frame was full of so many graphical details that you need to see a few times to actually catch (like pink floyd, just with hearing). So since I have nothing bad to say about the graphics, I will just give you a few frames and scenes which I liked especially and things I was really amazed by (and there is a lot). But lets start with one things which wasn't bad, but bothered me a bit, this thing is the text in the beginning of the movie and in the end of it. This is the only thing that bothered me with the graphics, so maybe changing it to something more like the font you have in the first Bitey? Or maybe something which would match the blue general colour and the forest kind of thing? Ok, lets continue with many, many compliments, shall we?
Firstly, I was terribley amazed until I almost got an heart attack to see the many colours you have used in this movie. So many shades of blue, green and blue-green in so many objects in the background. I usually start talking about charecters while speaking of graphics, but this time, I must start talking about the fantastic background, since it was the best drawn aspect in the whole movie. The background, if you look a little far away from the screen, looks so very real that it is a bit scary. There are some scenes which left me with my mouth open and still are when I think of them. The best one among them is the one where yo see the lake a bit before the attacking scene.
Secondly, you obviously know a lot about motion of charecters, because the way Bitey moves is just perfect. Lets take the attacking scene where he jumps at the YuYu, the way you draw the 'lines' of motions which are too quick to be seen is just magnificent. It just made it looked so real. Also, the way you make the background, whose perfection I have already mentioned, move in the scene where he runs away from the YuYu in the fastest way he can is just so realistic. Not to mention that the background is even very well drawn then. Not to mention the way the YuYu travels, it is simpley breath-taking.
Thirdly, I don't know if there really are creaures such as Bitey and the YuYu, but it seems very logical to me that this is the exact way that they will look if they existed. Not only because you are the original one to draw these charecters or maybe even to invent them, but also because the quality of the picture is like a real photograph. The charecter design of this movie, to sum it up, is simpley perfect, nothing more to say. Even though the background is in a much better quality than the charecters, the charecters' grade should still be 10, while the background should get more.
This is the end of your graphical compliments, because there is no point of saying more. Just let me say that it seems more logical to me that you have filmed it other than you have actually drawn all of it.

Now, the review is still not over, I will continue it next review with my alt -Kraken-.
>To be continued next review with an alt<

no words

No words to describe such a talentuous work. Or just simply : outstanding?

The Best!

Like all your Brackenwood productions, this is really.. GREAT!! I rarely give 5s on Newgrounds, because your movies are my benchmark. This one, like your other Brackenwood movies, really earns a 5.
Please keep making more!

chluaid responds:

thankyou :)

wow

I dont know how you do this adam. Ive been watching your movies since Bitey of Brackenwood but still you manage to surprise me even more than you did the last time. The hair on my arms was actually standing when i watched this and if it keeps going on at this rate im going to have a heart attack by the next part.

Kudos to all the music makers as well. You impressed me equally.
