PowerRangerYELLOW's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Lighthouse Girl]

I'm very pleased to know that Light House Girls is finally being seen on Newgrounds.

I remember you finished this at a time before Newgrounds actually had any sort of video player at all.

I really love all of the beautiful painting like backgrounds and the various environments to create an entire world.

simple extra touches such as placing the shadows in the correct places according to light conditions adds a certain layer of reality to the animation.

Please feel free to upload your future work anywhere online at all.

I would love see it.

I assume you have made improvements since Light House Girl because this movie is really old.

Glad you finally uploaded it to newgrounds and other people get to enjoy it.

I look forward to seeing your other stuff.

That is true, there was no video player on Newgrounds at the time, so even if i wanted to submit it I couldn't have. At least when it was finished - i'm not sure when they added it.

The plight of the emos

the life of an emo is hard with all the pretending to be depressed and wearing skinny jeans all the time and what not.

[DaveyToons10172011]

Visually it looks interesting to say the least

I'm actually really disappointed because there was so much potential in this very flash to do so much more.

Your usage of color theory and the way the animation was kept surreal reminded me of the work of Catoblepas but drawn in a more crude child like fashion in fact i would say this style is visually awesome.

Beyond that there was really nothing much more compelling than the graphics itself because it was a simple loop of a DJ scratching the shit out of records.

I was expecting that maybe if i pressed some kind of button on the DJ that something else would happen and i ended up right clicking and playing and went right back to the preloader.

It really pains me to give you a low score because i see so much potential in you and so much potential in these daveytoons.

I say keep em going and your abilities will excel beyond belief because making spam is like training in the gym.

The more you do it than the more muscle you build up.

David responds:

Ah, my dear old friend, thank you for these kind words. Maybe I will have the drive to do something cool in the future with a similar concept. I will work towards better things, but of course there will be spam.

[DailyToon #441]

Best dailytoon this season so far

it's back to basics instead of a pathetic attempt to catch past glory it is two brand new cartoons from adam ant and mightybear.

Out of the two people in the battle i would have to go with adamant because it was a creative way to say the animator had writers block.

The second one wasn't as good since it looked to be a lot of rambling about nothing mixed in with photoshop pictures of outer space being tweened.

In closing it was a very funny dailytoon and i would like to see a lot more diversity in the dailytoons like what should have been happening from the very start.

[CoolDr's Trad. Animation]

This is some really great animation

I love seeing traditional animation and it had a really neat presentation to it all together such as the menu and preloader.

I liked the video quality itself since it didn't have that overly pixelated look commonly associated with animations posted to the internet.

The stop motion animation was great but personally i found the drawn animation to be more entertaining.

with claymation you have to worry about your cinematography such as choice of angles, lighting, shadows but like anything else it has to look natural such as the light having direction.

I commonly see some animators fall into the trap of adding lots of shadows to there cartoons for no reason other than to make it look more polished but they make the mistake of now allowing the lighting change as the characters move and there environment changes.

The one clay animation had some rather neat cinematography and was basically above home movie level in terms of spit and polish but i found the first stop motion animation in the collection to be more entertaining.

it didn't look as polished nor was it as good by technical standards but i felt it was more to the point than the clay animated movie.

what it all boils down to is that they were both good but i personally found one more entertaining than the other.

Now onto your drawn animations.

I'm not much of fan of rotoscope animation but if i was to compare it to the other forms of rotoscope i have seen before it is generally well animated.

rotoscope is extreamly difficult to pull off well because it takes more than mere tracing to have it look any good.

You even mixed a bit of your own personal touch to the rotoscope hence making it look less fake and eerie.

The ball bounce was nothing special to watch but you have effectively used squash and stretch.

the proportions in your animations were kept consistent even while angles changed and this is some of what of a mistake since proportions would change with a new angle.

abstract animation used color effectively and had a much more spontaneous feel to it than the other more steadily animated shorts.

I can assume you animated abstract animation in a more straight ahead fashion rather than planed ahead of time.

In fact abstract is the best of all your shorts in the entire collection.

If it could at all be possible to make another traditionally animated submission but with better optimization than you can easily make a much longer cartoon for this very website.

I look forward to seeing more from you and i hope this review is constructive enough to help you in the future.

honestly this is probably the most constructive review Ive ever recieved. Thanks PRY I will try my best

[It will be ok in the end]

It'll be ogay was better

this parody was nowhere nearly as good as the other parody posted by the kitty krew.

It'll be ogay in the end was a better movie because while rushed it looked more like the original movie that was being mocked.

It had actual jokes and actually attacked it's target for parody.

and it really shouldn't have been a problem to make something presentable because the crude drawings on it'll be okay in the end should be easy to copy even for the laziest of people.

There basically fat stick figures.

The usage of tweens was very unfitting since frame by frame could have been used and shat out fast as well.

The authors comments actually put the whole movie into context but it was just a lame sex joke that didn't even bother spoofing it'll be okay in the end.

I really feel bad about this review because this could have been another great parody but the results only qualified as a bad joke that had no thought put into it.

Try again

You are 100% right.

[Batmam Theme]

except for the 4chan memes this wasn't too bad

I liked the really funny drawings and the way you animated it for the most part it actually kinda amusing.

But it's those 4chan memes in there that kinda ruined this otherwise great movie for me.

The memes themselves are highly overused on this site that any of hint of humor is gone from them.

It's not hard to think up your own stupid things since you clearly did in some spots with your batman movies.

but i can assume you accomplished your goal since you knew that 4chan memes piss other trolls off.

and your goal was to troll other trolls but you can also piss even more people off by saying 4chan sucks.

The whole thing reminds me of those rare actually funny articles on encyclopedia of dramatica.

while it is funny it could be improved upon with a simple purging of 4chan memes.

You can mark this review unhelpful because i hate 4chan but i love this movie much in the same way some people who hate anime love the shit out of akira.

Keep em coming.
