Y2k4ever's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DIMENSION4L Pilot]

I can tell that you put allot of effort into this, but I have to be honest, the only character that I even found remotely believable was Hazel, and even that was broken half way through.
Pretty much everything that happened, I could see coming from a mile away, and the scene in the music room felt like something that I would had read in my high school creative writing class.

With that established, I do have to commend your efforts in the actual animation, and general choreography itself, not many people bother with frame by frame anymore, and I can appreciate your style choices for most of the characters that have been revealed so far. I also applaud you for your background art, even if it aint the best, hey it adds allot of quality to this animation.
I also enjoyed most of the camera work in the first half, the blur effect you gave the clock as Hazel woke up was a nice touch, and most other scenes were shot at decent angles as well.

Lastly, the music quality was quite high for an independent flash animation (I assume you use flash, but am aware that there are other programs), in fact this is probably the first flash on Newgrounds that i've seen, that utilized an electric piano, if only briefly, but none the less a welcome sound indeed.

I may come off as a bit harsh in this review, granted that the only animation that I have uploaded to this site so far is a shitty TMNT animutation many years ago, I feel that I can attribute most of my gripes, to the fact that its often hard to properly introduce one's characters, without making them out to be charicatures of the original idea that the artist had in mind for them. Either way, all in all, not the worst start to a series I have ever seen, but it will need to remedy the flaws made in this pilot episode, in the second one.

Best of Luck,
Cheers!

kartsuli responds:

You've brought up quite a few good points. I really do wish to improve the overall quality, so I'll make sure to consider those when working on the next episode!
Also, I appreciate that you took the time to write such a detailed and well-thought-out review. :)

[DeadPool's Chimichanga Escapade]

José Olé!
This reminds me that I have just run out of chimichangas...
Good one Scott!

scottwjsm responds:

You better get more before Deadpool finds them!

[Wave Motion Gun]

It truly is a show of legend.
As for this neat update to your original test:
My biggest recommendation would be to use less blur effect around the beam itself, and I would give the explosions more frames of animation.
On a more positive note, I really like the frame rate the project is rendered at.

Argox66 responds:

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your constructive critique. Only way to improve!

[Homage...]

This was a slightly odd, yet interesting homage to one of my favorite 70's anime, one I find not allot of people know about/if the do then only the remake.
All in all, this made me happy, keep up the good work.

Argox66 responds:

Thanks! Star Blazers was a huge part of my youth as well. I enjoyed 2199, the remake, and the live action as well.

[Apple Presents The iChick]

Three active ports!!!!!
Funny thing about this, I can see this happening in 50 years, or less.
Whether I like this or not its an odd and interesting thing of the future.
But also keep in mind if the "Ichick" would exits, so would the "Idude", meaning that there would be a massive population decrease unless they could be fitted with reproductive modules and customization set of genetics to create the desired baby. We are close to this , but its to taboo in current settings, and as I stated prior it would take a couple of decades before robotics (or a mixture of robotics and stem cell research) can create such a delicate, yet limber mechanism (especially if it had conscience). So if your a person who would look forward to this then be patient for science is always at work!
And ending this review, the review!
Nice work, very funny!

ADASport responds:

True :D Thanks for taking time to review our work!

[Lil' Paco Episode 1]

Allot of love went into making this, and I respect that, everything looks great, and the whole production was well carried out, you have earned this score.

BatOuttaHellStudios responds:

Thanks! I appreciate you recognizing the work that went into it!

[Little Orphan Anchor]

CorpseGrinderClock responds:

[Power of Hunger]

Nice

Been awhile, just wanted to stop by and say good job, i might get back into animating, id say im a bit better, and i can see you are as well, but seriously good job!

scottwjsm responds:

You should

[Chocolate Credits]

Nice

It well captures credit animation, but i wouldn't use the transformation effect for the buildings , its a bit cheep looking for real credits, other then that id vote for it to be credits.

TaraGraphika responds:

I was....being immature during the cheap-ass shape tween...Y'know what? I feel like a pussy for using Shape Tween. It is for pussies. Damnit.

Anyway, Thanks!XD
