BenParisi's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Big Morphing Orgasm]

This is really amazing

Did you use any shape tweens? or did you do it all frame by frame?

TheBoogley responds:

It's all shape tweens, in fact we didn't draw anything, all the graphics are based on hand typed actionscript code... :3

[The Last Minute Shopper]

Really cool style

I really like the 3 color style, and that bullet time effect was great.

On the other hand, I'm guessing you used a glow or blur filter on your snowflake symbol. There were so many that it cause the movie to get choppy every time there was snow in the background. I have addressed this problem in the past by making a circle with a color gradient that has a solid white middle color and a completely transparent white outer color. It gives you almost the exact same effect at only a fraction of the processing power.

Actually, i originally did the snowflakes as symbols like you mention, but it was too over played. So what i did is created my on snow particle effect in After effect and then brought the video clip into flash, made it transparent, and there you have it. that might be why it was a bit choppy on some computers. flash has a tendency to do that to imported video flies:) Thanx for the review!
