Things on My Mind Datatrack 16

Posted by FightingSeraph - January 15th, 2010


1. Em Kaah: If you never heard of this guy before, he created the horror flash Goldilocks. Sure, the animation hasn't aged well, but his directing and creativity are top-notch. Too bad we haven't heard from him in a while; I want another Goldilocks sequel.

2. Brutality (flash cartoon): I've already commented on McFretN himself, but I think he did an excellent job on this Dragon-Ball-Z-inspired movie. However, as Doomhammr mentioned with the Combat Instinct sequels, the Flash 7+ players messed up the backgrounds. It's too bad that McFretN got frustrated with the production of part two called Power Overwhelming and quit; it would have been epic. Personally, he should team up with a Frame-by-frame animator if he does bring it back from cancellation.

3. MaelstormM: Am I the only one who thinks that he's the most overlooked and underappreciated flash programmer on here? Sure he uses sprites and whatnot, but he can make a solid gaming engine when given the chance. However, he needs to work on his 3D modeling and 2D drawing skills for a bit. Then again, I wouldn't mind seeing the MM Next Remix engine used for something geared towards the flash community.

4. Traditional Animation: To me, that term has no real merit considering the fact that hand-drawn animation is not the only form of animation that has existed for so long. What about stop-motion animation in various forms? Doesn't that count as traditional animation? I'm fucking sick of smug, haughty, elitist flash cartoonists who act like they're qualified to run Newgrounds, and would like to see them get lampooned. Don't get me wrong, I may be for originality, but the end product has to be good to great for it to work.

5. Xennethy: I didn't like Sith Confrontation and Super Hero Slayers; but I do like H.E.L.L. and Life's Good. However, I think he needs to work on his comedic timing more because most of his gags aren't funny. Then again, I'd rather take him over Legendary Frog or Fat Badger any day of the week. All I have to say to him is "Work on your directing, Xen!"

6. Kine the Genius: If he kept at flash animation, he could have easily been up there with the likes of Mind Chamber, James Farr, and many of the other Newgrounds all-time greats. However, I think his cartoons could have used some subtitles even though that would distract viewers from the animation.

7. There Will Be Brawl: This is a nice attempt at serious videogame-related stuff and it is much better than most of the VG-related stuff on NG. However, after watching the conclusion, there were a lot of plot holes that didn't get filled. However, the action and the mood partially compensated for any weaknesses in the plot.

8. Disney: My feelings towards the company Walt built up decades ago are mixed. On one hand, I enjoy all of the old Mickey shorts (Giantland, Der Fuehrer's Face) and some of their movies (Popeye, Tron, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?). On the other hand, their new stuff is rather tacky in spite of how original or well-animated. Of course, I grew up on Disney like almost everyone here.
