StarvingStomach's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Katan]

Here is my Detailed Critique

Its good, the art style is excellent. Now get ready for my brutal critique.

1. Intro is a bit to long. in the world of the internet and newgrounds, you must assume your audience has a five second attention span.

2. Like the music, but then it got monotonous. You had a wonderful fight scene going on, and sound effects would have enhanced it. I'm not saying sound effects all the time. Just here and there.

3. The pacing of your film is the exact same through out the entire animation. You need to make your films act like a roller coaster. Having the pacing go up and down, fast and slow. This could have been created if there was a pause in the whole pace when the blue one falls onto the plat form down by the dragon. You could have drawn that part out a little and have him sit there and think about his situation for a couple of seconds while cutting the music (good place for water dripping sound effects and such). Then OMG!! THERE IS A FUCKING DRAGON!!

4: You had a lot of great crazy angles at the beginning of the film. With warped perspective and such. But then they kinda disappeared. Why?

5: Character designs are cute, but a little flat. If you made them pop more it would add so much believability to the animation.

That's mainly it. Animation is solid for the style that you are going for. I'm normally not a fan of fight sequences, but this one had story and a set up to it. So I'm ok with it. Mostly I'm being nit picky, but I'm just trying to help you improve.

More frames

I always preach more frames to your animations. But, knowing how many animations you do per year. Still damn good.

[Bros before Hoes]

Ok for a first.

Its ok. But I would try to draw some more frames. Instead of using tweening for your entire animation.

kenshiIce responds:

It really didnt take long, I'll keep that in mind thanks :)

[Up (abbridged version)]

Funny but not specatular

If your drawings were solid I would have given it a 10. The beginning is funny then the humor kinda trailed off.

drodZILiA responds:

I'll work on that much more, thank you StarvingStomach.

[Zimmi EP 1]

Good story, good timing, bad animation.

I give you a 7 because you had 2 out of 3 quailities for a nice piece of art. You need to spend more time on your character animation. Get some nice poses, and actually have the characters body move when they speak.

Rutger responds:

Do your arms move when you speak? q:
I think I get what you mean though, and you're right.
Thanks!

[Demo Reel 2009]

almost perfect

Everything was amazing. Except the animation with the scientist with the yellow gloves and the other women. Not much was going on there and I really couldn't see any expression. I would take it out.

Jeinu responds:

well it was my first (and only) cartoon this year using some actual dialogue so i thought it was kind of a landmark !
