PowerRangerYELLOW's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nekromantia]

pretty cool

I like all the camera angles you used within this flash and was the music created by you or a friend because it was really fitting.

the way you drawn you backgrounds better than your characters and stuck with subtle colors added a lot here.

some novice animators make the mistake of using all there colors at once and this a bit of show of some skill in color theory here.

good use of tweens, shape tweens and frame by frame.

Keep up the good work and excellent first submission.

malkan responds:

thank you very much! i download the music on a free use web page, teh only thing i have to do is to put some reference from the autor in this case his name is kevin macleod. the strange thing was that i already have finished the animation when i put the music and still fit like a shoe!

[Flee Get Down]

such a very subtle parody here

The whole thing is a subtle attack on youtube videos that respond to fads hopping on the band wagon and in a larger sense making fun of the way people on the internet latch onto what is popular like the blood sucking leach they are.

In someway it feels like your even making fun of generic anime influenced drawing styles within so many deviant art and sheezy art movies.

You even got those dumb cat ears down pat and i assume even some of the most intelligent of people will completely the fact that your spoofing a lot of the internet pop culture in general while it only appears that your spoofing dumb video responses to equally dumb videos.

even that one use of an internet meme was used with sarcastic intentions such as face palm for example.

Most of the animation was a little rushed but here it works because it is making fun of how slap dash most viral videos really are.

Welcome to the internet where any old talentless hack can cut off there dick in front of a webcam and than star in a movie with seth rogen the next day.

Did i get it completely or did i miss something else in there?

[Shitty Ninja]

Nice mix of frame by frame and tweens

I haven't seen a subtle mix of frame by frame and tweens pulled off this well even by more experienced animators on this site.

The movie could have used some sound effects and music but the visuals were extremely entertaining none the less.

I see a shit load of potential in you and would look forward to seeing your next endeavors.

Best of luck.

Thanks for all of the kinds words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[Everything by Everyone]

Wasted effort used to suck up to whats hot!

Yours drawings were decent and your animation wasn't too bad in fact as a rush job this was great but i'll have to subtract a lot points for riding on the fame of other peoples works.

This little movie could have worked better as a parody.

having a sense of humor about this sort of thing will earn you a better rep with the vocal minority that hates this movie.

I'm not saying you'll produce something everyone loves because such an endeavor is impossible.

I can picture this as a straight up homage with comical drawings of all the characters with funny animations to go with it.

I think that is a little more interesting to look at than a flat out carbon copy of an existing drawing.

Think up your own ideas, characters and stories and even if you are doing a homage, parody or tribute you can still spice things up a little by doing your own drawings instead of attempting to make carbon copies of other peoples work, adding extra features to your layout will up your score.

The skipping scene button and backtracking scene button was a nice feature because sometimes you need to navigate through the movie to get to your favorite parts.

Personally i didn't find any entertainment value in this movie in fact it was only a slight step up from taking existing videos, editing them to music and passing them off as your own work in my opinion.

I hope i wasn't being a complete dick here because I'm trying to be both kind and as constructive as possible with this honest review i written.

Thank you for being honest in your review. But I wasn't trying to "suck up to whats hot" or "passing them off as my own". I've been coming to Newgrounds for 5 years now and I just wanted to show my gratitude to all these great animators. One day I will make a original series, but for right now I just want to have fun. Also, you weren't being a dick, you were being a honest Newgrounds users, lol.

[None More Evil]

Horror at it's finest

I like the very tense atmosphere you set up with the images and the accompanying music that sounds almost like ringing in my ears yet it's hauntingly soothing at the same time.

It arouses tense emotions in you and this is basically the essence of horror.

The movie had a very polished look to it yet the drawings were awful but because there is a quality to it than even some of the coolest looking movies don't have brings my score over the top.

It's another one of those rare truly artistic submissions that most of the people here will not enjoy unless it both rots there brain and looks cool.

The fact that this is way beyond something that exists to look cool and allows you to think up your own story as you watch makes it all the more great.

People here need a jolt to there imagination since they always expect a story handed right to them even in movies intended to be a piece that sets an atmosphere.

The whole thing is really difficult for me to describe but it was awesome none the less.

void150 responds:

Thanks for writing such a detailed review, and I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.

Until now I've been mostly drawing using a mouse... in my next project I'll have switched to a Wacom pad, which (I'm hoping) will bring an improvement to the style. But I like photoshopping other random images and putting them in too, so it creates quite a mixed texture.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback :)

[TT: 011 Runner II]

Ok so maybe your little cousin can do better.

Something about traditional animation while not as polished as some flash movies looks better because the small imperfections in the linework shows that this was made with human hands.

There is a lot of soul to this and has a quality that vector art doesn't have. It's why people prefer film to video/digital, hand drawings over vector art, ect.

I like the fact that it was actually colored in because most traditional animation in the newgrounds portal is mostly pencil drawings that aren't even colored in.

It's like the work of this elusive 5 year year old cousin that people keep threatening other artists with that can do better than some other animator due to simple presentation.

It's painfully obvious that these types of people are simply jealous and are reaching for insults when they pull that bullshit line "My kid brother can do better" out of there asses.

Those so called younger family members usually can't honestly do better little alone the person making said vague threat to begin with.

If they could backup there words than they would have something this good to show for it instead of attempting to do two frames giving up and complaining that animation is too hard to do.

This is obviously the work of adults or at the very least teenagers because most little kids when they attempt animation give up because the process of animation is more time consuming than it looks.

Thank you for the huge, content-filled review! I'm glad you care about the details and our effort... Thanks! :)

[Warsaw]

Pretty good

I like the way you drew all those buildings and the fact that it is both polished and set up atmosphere is a thing of beauty.

You have a lot of potential to take this site by storm and this first submission is better than so many higher scoring movies.

The subtitles were a nice addition since i'am an english speaking person.

I don't understand the situation in the polish cities so i don't know what your satirizing but i love it none the less because it is so artistic.

Hashii responds:

Thank You :)

[Sonic goes to Hell]

Nice prank

Most people wouldn't have the old newgrounds preloader unless they've downloaded themselves a few years ago.

This makes it obvious that you either still have a copy of the old ng loader or that it appears you been working on this for years and years.

The music along with the simple title card also helps to make it look all the more ambitious.

The simple punch line if your a sonic fanboy hits you right in the balls and i have no doubt in my mind that many people will be leaving bad reviews to this by the dozen.

You are my hero

[T.V. Licker]

That is without a doublt an awesome movie allover

I like the way it looked big pixels arranged together to make orignal pictures. This is what real sprite artistry is.

None of this manipulating existing graphics out of a video game to pass off as your own work.

and even if you credit psyguy or whoever elses site you ripped those video game graphics off of.

Your just a lowly thief crediting another thief for work they didn't do.

This is the very kind of thing that newgrounds needs more of and show there appreciation to.

This is actually a piece of work that a lot of blood, sweat and tears go into.

I also like the overall mood this movie sets up because than it adds entertainment vaule beyond it just looking cool.

I hope to see more fronm you in the near future.

Mushroomboy5 responds:

You make me feel warm :3

[The Big Heads Episode 2]

Not bad but not good either

I would say this movie is about average and it seems like it of the lol random camp of humor.

The humor didn't work for me because i just didn't find it funny at to be honest.

I do however like your simple drawings and the brush strokes are very clean.

The voice acting could use a little improvement because they can show a bit more emotion in there performances.

I don't ussually like video game parodies but this was actually somehwhat charming.

I hope i was constructive enough.
