Subliminalis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[shroomkill 1]

Not bad.

You should make it slow motion when the rocks come up from the ground. Very cool though. Good job.

[Minushi - Chapter 7]

Great voice acting.

I enjoyed it.

[Stuffed Animals]

Killer soundtrack.

Loved that song.

Xict responds:

Yea. I couldn't find any good tracks I wanted to use so I checked the Audio Portal and found Jarrydn. He is a good music artist.

[Priest Trilogy : trailer]

Just a few things:

First of all,

FINALLY. A decent flash animation that dosent involve random objects with clocks embedded in them or retarded animals. This looks like the next "Untill Death Do Us Part".

Next, just a little error here: the spent bullets of a gun don't look as you have depicted. What you have shown is the actuall bullet. When a gun is fired, the spent shell looks like this:

Lastly, just a heads up: you might get a few negative responses due to the fact that this has all been done before. Don't get me wrong, I can't WAIT until the final product is released, but there is a comic called "Priest" that has the same exact storyline this trailer promised. And the new Matrix (Reloaded) contains the very song you used (Linkin Park's 'Session') not only in the movie but also on the soundtrack. I'm not too sure if these are throwbacks, homages, or rip-offs. You should be a little more clear on where you are pulling your ideas from, just to prevent any 'flamming' or 'blamming'.

At any rate, and like a said, this looks VERY impressive. I can't wait until the first episode is released.

Stryda responds:

Hi there...
Thanks so much for the great reply.
First off with the bullet thing, I admit I didnt really research into that. Just pretty much drew what "I" thought they looked like. Umm...I'll bare that in mind next time I do casings.

My film has a lot of influences... Im sure the comic you are talking about is "Preacher" this was brought to my attention early in its production. I was sure my idea was original...I was proven wrong. But the characters differ greatly... In the preacher story his power IS "the word of GOD" which shows he is VERY MUCH a preacher. Mine on the other hand is a depressed psychotic who doesnt believe in God or even HAS a faith any more he just happened to be a priest in his past.
I think its obvious I've been influenced by "The Matrix" it was an awesome film. I am a huge fan of the brother's work...If you look carefully in the trailer you will notice that I use variations on some angles from the actual first film. Its not a rip-off but yes it is a homage. I make it very clear in the actual film by even PROMOTING the "Reloaded" sequal with posters on walls in the film.

To be honest I find it an honour if anyone will even consider my film even ALONG SIDE The Matrix or its sequals. You could say they stop looking at my film for a moment AS A FLASH and instead start comparing it as a cinematic film. Nelson Hurst stated this when making his Flash "Genryu's Blade" I believe this too. I am not a big company, I'm one person working on this project for my own amusement and that of other fans too. Fans of my films influences and it as an animation also.
Thanks again for pointing this out.

[MTV's TRL INA]

Meh

Audio cracks, animation lacks. Still a good idea for a cartoon. All jokes have been said before. Nothing too new or exciting. Still neat though.

[blimpage - episode 01]

Amazing

For the first time ever, I didnt hear a 'cracking' in the audio!

I detected a bit of an accent there. You from England? Or Austrailia? Any-who, that was perfect. Could have used some backround music however. Can't wait until the next one. If there is one... :)

esspat responds:

yeah, i try to keep the audio clean. we're australian. and i couldn't really find any background music that fit in. at all.
don't worry. there WILL be a next one.

[I Eat People]

Ultra-Funny!

That was so cute!

[AIM Away Message]

Hah

That guy laughing gets me every time. You should just make this the intro for aimawaysessages.com

[bob pain 2 "ïce dive"]

Heh

Really funny, esp the "MADE IT!" part...I literally laughed out loud...

[The Creek Trailer]

Damn...

I can't wait to see the whole thing...

A few things: the blood on the light bulb was awesome. It's so hard to find original ideas in thses short films and just the idea of the force of the blood actually moving the light bulb struck me for some reason.

Also, something tells me you should be in film. I'm not saying that you're wasting your talent or time through these little animations, but the ideas you have would be a huge hit over at atom.com
